I'd recommend A Troublesome Inheritance by Nicholas Wade.

Maybe then he'd stop wasting his money on doing things that can't be done, and spend his money on something sensible such as spaceflight, like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

You can't call yourself a JavaScript programmer until you've read "You Don't Know JS" by Kyle SImpson. Most JavaScript programmers know enough to get a JavaScript framework working but not enough to figure out how to solve a problem.

Given that you have as much evidence of that as UFO conspiracists have for alien invasions... and because I assume you're not a hypocrite... I guess you're going to take seriously every other thing you have no evidence of either...

As to mistakes... no... Gore made the mistake of not studying how Bill Clinton won. He also avoided campaigning with Bill even though the only reason he was even considered for president was because he was Bill's vice president.

Hillary ultimately made the same mistakes Gore made. Bill famously did campaign for HIllary though he said her message should be changed. Bill, the only one of them that had actually won a presidential election, was told to shut up and do what he was told. He did... and she lost.

In and amongst that, you have what Hillary did to Bernie. Yes, the solidity of your tribalism is not sustainable because she betrayed her own party. The info on that is actually pretty well documented and there is lots of evidence of that. The people that liked bernie know what she did. And as much as you might try to paper over that betrayal with trump hatred... I suspect more than a few bernie people remember.

Regardless, if you're just going to "rah rah" at me, then so be it. I was trying to have a rational discussion on the issue. And what you're giving me is cultish foolishness that none but the deepest coolaid drinkers take seriously.

Everyone knows, bub. You're just embarrassing yourself.

...until this same idiot finds out that you can order magnifying glasses from Amazon without even a fake prescription or any requirement to show a physics qualification. These are far more dangerous than a contact lens: you can start fires with them and even use them to read the small print most companies don't want you to see.

Back In My Day We Had Nine Planets.

Get a "Get In Loser This Planet Blows" shirt instead.

I prefer to drink vodka out of a 800ml glass.

yup pretty much. we use these at home...

It's a 21oz+ glass. (0.6L) But see the picture... that's about how full you full them. You can swirl the wine in them, see the legs, and enjoy the 'bouquet'.

Nobody would ever fill them, even halfway would be pretty absurd.

If you wanna get *really* serious about drinking wine, try this.

https://slashdot.org/~substance2003 inquired:

Am I the only one that worries about this? Disney has been gobbling up IP for the last few years with Marvel and LucasFilms and with the acquisition of Fox's movies (which include some of Marvel's IP) I find it to be a bit much. It also means there will be one less studio out there making movies in a world where other studios such as Sony and Paramount are reporting losses. There were even rumors of Sony wanting to sell their movie studio. Will Disney eat them up too in some near future?

Oh, it's much MUCH worse than that.

In addition to snorking up other entities' IP like it was Bolivian marching powder, Disney has also continued to pursue a truly evil campaign that Walt himself started a LONG time ago: it takes public domain characters (such as Snow White, etc.) and converts them into trademarked IP of its own. If you've been paying attention to the Disney series Once Upon a TIme, you know that the Mouse has mixed in characters from all kinds of mythologies over the years, from Jules Verne's Captain Nemo to Captain Hook, all of which are now trademarked by Disney.

Yes, you're theoretically entitled under US copyright law to produce content that incorporates those characters, if you wish. The problem is that, if your physical depiction of them bears even a slight resemblence to Disney's version, the Mouse will sue the living crap out of you for infringing its trademarks. And Walt's zombie empire has lots and lots and LOTS of money to spend on lawyers, while individual artists and small production companies pretty much universally don't.

What makes Disney's scheme even more putrid is that, while even the current, ludicrously overinflated copyrights eventually time out, trademarks, by design, never do. As long as you can demonstrate that you actively protect the trademarks you've registered by the use of tactics as inexpensive as cease-and-desist letters, your claim remains valid under trademark law throughout the developed world. So, long after Robert Iger's great-grandchildren have turned to dust, the Mouse will still be legally entitled to claim trademarks on Captains Nemo and Hook - and a gigantic host of other characters from such nominally public-domain sources as Aesop, the brothers Grimm, and Mother Goose.

And you thought Disney smelled bad on the OUTSIDE ..

I think you're being too cynical. AWS GovCloud is pretty damn nice:

Helped a friend move two web apps used by the state of Washington from their Windows 2000 servers with firewalls that hadn't been touched in over a decade to it. It's most certainly more secure now with revisited firewall (Security Groups in AWS-speak) and ELB (elastic load balancer) in front of the server with no direct access to the Windows servers.

You can get cheap fridges with electromechanical controls. Generally meant for rental properties where the landlord wants the cheapest, most reliable solution, but they'll work in a home as well...

https://www.amazon.com/Danby-D...

Buy the simplest 'fridge possible. e.g.

https://www.amazon.com/Danby-D...

They're meant for landlords with apartments putting a fridge in for a tenant. Mechanical thermostat, no fancy gizmos, easy to fix if broken. Unless you NEED two icemakers, a water dispenser, a camera, and an LCD on the front with WiFi.

And basically this is entirely invalidated by designing the phone such that the battery is not user-replaceable.

First of all, I've replaced batteries in iPhones many times and its incredibly easy. Here's a guy replacing one in four minutes. And you can even get a specific set of tools that will make it simple including the battery for around $25.

If that's too complicated there are thousands of places both local and online that will replace your battery for a very nominal fee.

It would take me probably half an hour to replace the PSU in my PC but I don't refer to it as being "not user-replaceable".

As has been mentioned elsewhere

By other people who do not not understand what the term "scarce" actually means...

bitcoin is not scarce. It is possible to create a practically infinite variety of crytocurrencies

Only ONE of which is bitcoin, why is that hard to grasp? Apparently it is very hard to grasp the concept that no matter how many cryptocurrencies you create only one of them is Bitcoin, which is the gold standard (ha!) if you will of cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin can be, and has already been, "forked"

And you are just as forked if you use a derivative, which is not technically the same at the BitCoin people actually use.

This notion doesn't exist with any other commodity, gold is gold

So you've never ever seen something colored gold that was not actually made of gold? HMM.....

You can't just go out and create a completely new type of gold

BAM. I'll leave it there with all that egg dripping off you, at least you'll have something to eat it with.

This, Yes.

I started with a 'Turbo XT' clone in 1983, 12MHZ, 640K, 20MB HD, MS-DOS 2.11, CGA, and dual 5 1/4 floppies. Command line was it. The first upgrade was a Hayes Smartmodem 2400. Windows and all that came later, with bus mice and such. BTW, that PC cost as much as the one I would be able to use today, $1200, and all any of these two machines would have in common is the price. And the command line.

I learned command line, batching, and Basic with that. It was 1994 before I bought a copy of The Internet CD (book), and actually got the copy of Slackware running on a spare machine, by now a 386-something I think. Command-line. I could deal with this.

Your old-timers will find these to be the biggest hurdles:

- File permissions and ownership. Getting the octal concept down first will solve that quickly.
- Case-sensitive everything. Bleagh.
- chron. Yeah, ok. systemd will not annoy them, since they won't have any memory of Linux as it was meant to be.

From there, at command line it's more like Windows than one dares to admit. As in NetWare and Vines were more like Windows than NT, so if they have managed to adapt from Windows 3.1 to Windows 7, they'll find a way or retire. And my money is on adapting. I managed to get from MS-DOS 2.1

Why not read this while you wait?

"They" never asked for government's protection of the monopoly.

Sure man, and this book was never written.

Your beloved FDR forced it upon "them".

With what, a time machine, to go back in time and force AT&T's monopoly into existence? Anti-trust action against AT&T began while FDR was still Assistant Secretary of the Navy.

Sorry man, some of us have access to more history than your preferred narrative. We don't all get textbooks from the DOC.

Unfortunately, that process is slow and remains reversible — thanks to government.

It's not my local government's fault that AT&T stopped them from building high speed internet. No wait, it's not. At least blame STATE and FEDERAL government, not local.

Sorry mi, as usual, your moronic argumentation is falsehood-ridden, and easily exposed as a fraud. I guess the only thing I can say is...thank you for being a troll.

Looks like there are plenty of RF detectors under $25 bucks these days.

As long as "at your convenience" means between the hours of 8;30am and 5:30pm.

Nope. Most Amazon Locker locations are accessible 24/7.

The closest to my house is inside a gas station convenience store that never closes.
