For cursive, the winner is a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil. It doesn't need much pressure, and it doesn't make a blob if you stop.

Matrox (yes, the graphics card company) sold a PCI board with several PowerPC "G4" chips that ran little-endian Linux. They posted a smallish kernel patch for this. MC/OS and Windows NT 4.0 also ran little-endian on PowerPC.

This justice-revenge distinction you are making is merely tone. Factually, they are one and the same.

It was actually happening in Hawaii until the state put a stop to new installs. The death spiral isn't obvious at first. It can take some time to really get going. In the short term, there will even be the occasional benefit for the ut

They were trying to trick you, which is shady, but that doesn't make the result bad. Without this, we're headed to a huge bailout. In the long term, net metering will force power companies into hopeless bankruptcy. Hawaii has alre

Voting YES would be safer, not that cramming random crap into the constitution is pretty. Net metering will bankrupt the power companies, leading to a bailout. It'll make Enron look minor. Here is why: 1. Some people install grid-conne

The shingles themselves look great. The installation is terrible, right over the top of old shingles and not even fully covering the old shingles. It's not edge-to-edge. Either it was a dumb install, or those "shingles" aren&

It's mainly the lack of a javascript JIT. You can get a JIT for 32-bit x86 and ARM. You can get a JIT for 64-bit x86, ARM, and PowerPC. In the modern world, no JIT means no web. Right after that problem, those old PowerPC machines face

I've seen the opposite in recent respectable economics textbooks. In any case, a thought experiment: the 99% should get a $99/hour minimum, don't you think?

Sure, this can annoy desirable people, but... Suppose that people actually took your advice. Those desirable people, along with everybody else, would soon be lonely. In the long term, population would decline.

Who will fact-check the fact-checkers? Supposed "fact checking" has become a major new weapon in the 2016 presidential fight. It has been horrifically bad. The favored team gets away with sarcasm, hyperbole, fuzzy matters of opini

Hiring them wouldn't be an improvement. Journalism students are notoriously biased. Then there is the matter of clear logical thinking... look, they didn't get computer science degrees and there could be a reason why.

Gore contested his loss. Was that actual subversion of the process? If the election is close, I think the loser has a duty to contest the loss. Trump contesting the election would be every bit as right as Gore contesting the election. What

Those were bad, but there are differences that matter: The law has changed. Requirements were less strict back when email was new and exotic. We don't punish people for violating laws passed after the not-yet-crime is done; this would

I defeat this by driving with my left shoulder far forward. This is because it nearly killed me several times. When in a dangerous situation, I may need to brake and/or turn my body to look behind me. It's the "and" whic

Which hand signal (brake, left, right) do you most often give when having your arm out the window? Do you mean it, and follow through, or is this the old-fashioned equivalent of leaving your turn signal on? Note: hand signals are still lega

Both commit crime. The sender obviously put the info where it shouldn't be. The sender and recipient are both required to report this immediately. BTW, after that gets reported, a normal expectation would be that all computers get powe

I do, and he's right. You clearly don't have more than a half dozen children, with both boys and girls. It might be taboo to say this, but "I have spares" really makes a difference. People who lose their only son or only

You might be selfish, and you might not be selfish. Consider your answer to these two questions: 1. Do you produce kids? 2. Given your qualities as a potential parent, are your kids likely to produce more for society than they take? If you

It's bad to put your opponent in jail if your opponent does not belong in jail and equally bad to not put your opponent in jail if they do belong there. In a properly functioning country, status as "opponent" or "non

There are non-opioid choices. Pick one. The opioids will ultimately kill you. Ziconotide is a fine choice. It works better too. The only downside is that you can't take it in pill form.

Why regret? The intent is to be noticed. This is like killing a person with polonium, which is made in just a handful of facilities around the world. Russia wants to cause worry. They want "respect", which mainly means fear.

With fundamental core values getting different priority, anything that is a well-reasoned argument to one side is nonsense to the other side.
