If that happens, it'll be the greatest evolutionary step we have made for hundreds of years.

And I ask you this question: is it morally acceptable to allow someone to harm someone else?

Hmm. First heading in the NHS fat guidance is "Why we need some fat", then a breakdown of what and why https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/different-fats-nutriti... . A very balanced and well written d

We shouldn’t censor them because that has side effects when any sort of mechanism is introduced. However two laws should be made: 1. Not vaccinating your kids should be classified as a child protection offence (unless there is medical basis

Indeed. At this point, a Gopher revival is looking pretty enticing to serve content , not lock in, vendor wars or piles of straw stuck together with poo.

MFT is an internal structure. They could fix it TBH but the issue is that this would require an NTFS filesystem revision and for those of us who suffered through NT4's broken ass filesystems might start complaining :)

Not a lot of this matters in the real world. The real shame is the shitty small file performance due to MFT contention on NTFS.

Having watched people in the Tesla retail store at Westfield here in the UK, it was basically a playground for kids and adults alike. I reckon they sold very few cars if any through that outlet. I'd buy one off the Internet. I bought m

Assholes. I would have just chargebacked the damn thing if they pulled that shit on me. Edit: this sort of denialism makes me feel dirty owning an iphone.

So true. One of the first things I did was build a direct conversion receiver with decent audio filtering. It had 45 mostly discrete components and sounded as good as a top end Yaesu. Similar to this one: https://aa7ee.wordpress.

It put me off too for many years. If it’s any consolation there’s a lot more welcoming people these days. Tends to be the older hams and a section of black box operators who suffer from elitism. The younger lot (under 50) are totally differ

Wise choice. I bought a 2018 MBA with a “fixed butterfly keyboard”. Keyboard was useless after two weeks so it went back. Back on the thinkpad now.

You can do satellites and ISS with a feng though. Don’t have to go across or round, up is good too :)

You’re correct but that doesn’t stop them being useful.

It's worse than that really. A lot of people are like a acquaintance of mine. Bought a FT DX 5000MP, which wasn't cheap, has hundreds of books on the matter, boxes of cables and bits of antenna, speaks knowledgably on the subject

They're not that bad really. The programming interface sucks but what HT doesn't it suck on? I've got an FT-60 and FT-818 as well for ref.

The attitude towards Baofeng handsets annoys me somewhat. I've had both of mine on an SA and they were absolutely fine. What tends to happen I reckon is that the end user runs it into a cheap antenna or mismatch and nukes the LPF, some

One less IoT destination landfill product off the market. Can’t be a bad thing.

Ugh. I’ve been shafted by all of those ideologies. It turned me grey, bald and cynical aka experienced in every possible way to fuck something up. That turned out to be quite valuable!

Another happy customer here! Incidentally this does not worry me as I don't use email for any secure or private communications and I don't think anyone ever should. At best any warrants will get a list of crap I've bought on

They had swords that did that. Then they found out that guns had higher lethality with lower risk to the attacker (another primary metric). Collateral wasn't much of a problem back then. No one gave a shit.

by setquk 8y ago
No that's not quite right. Lethality is the effectiveness of desired outcome. Was the target eliminated? Collateral is the side effects of the desired outcome. Was anyone or anything else eliminated? They are two different metrics. Con
