Re:Horrible Idea
If you don't want services automatically crawling your pages, configure your robots.txt appropriately. http://archive.org/about/faqs.php#2, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=prevent%20google%20from%20caching%20my%20site, etc. This feature (which has been around in the form of the Resurrect Pages addon for at least 10 years) simply gives users an easy way to access a backup copy of a page when it isn't found live.

Re:B-b-b-but GUNZ is SKEEERY!!
They don't have to accuse, SJW's actually do it.
Like this and like this and like this and like this and like this and like this and like this and like this and like this and this and some more of this and more stuff like this.
And I've just started, that's from the last week or so. So let's fix that: Any time someone mentions SJW, they're pointing out that the left is full of regressive children that want to ban anything that doesn't fit with their very narrow view of the world, and will do anything to ban, block, censor or attack(physically/emotionally/virtually or IRL) you in any form in order to make it happen. And the left has a serious regressive problem today, just like the right did back in the 70's and 80's when the extreme-right were firebombing abortion clinics or assaulting gays. Today it's environmentalists burning down property or letting animals from testing labs loose, or groups other groups(like BLM, 3rd wave feminists or the modern anarchist movements) doxing or swatting people in order to silence them and/or operating smear campaigns and labeling people as misogynists/sexists/etc in order to scare them away or silence them, or to make them look so bad no one will take their side.

Re: They'll say anything
White Helmet's hospital, and its "doctors"!
1) The "NGO" organization, like SOHR, etc. are in fact openly anti-Assad.
2) White Helmet has history of fabrications. This organization was posted photos of killed children by Russian BEFORE they started bombing.
3) The videos on TheGuardian and TheStar posted by other below showed hospital, doctor and several men in military uniforms.
In fact, the man in the last minute of of the video (theguardian) is Muawiya Hassan Agha, a rebel in White Helmet uniform.Remind me group linked with FSA (aka Moderate Rebel), in the region controlled by FSA, the group, this week its members beheaded 12-yo Palestine boy for alleged support Assad.
The man who beheaded the boy, killed this week, and was in a hospital. -
Re:Got that, Microsoft shills?
The definition of personal data is broad and should be carefully reviewed in this case. Them knowing what you clicked and the failure attached to the series of action is hardly personal data that anybody truly cares to protect.
I care deeply about it and will take any action necessary to deny any OS vendor this capability. None of their goddamn business period.

The situation is still the same. What is the collected data? last time MS responded, the data collected was no more than what you search engine collects.
None of Microsoft's business what I do or where I search.
It was definitively less harmful than the data your GPS or cell phone carrier collects.
Is Microsoft the same company whose Windows 10 mobile platform collects your GPS location without your consent or any ability to stop it whenever you want to use your GPS locally?
Christ, your credit card, your bank and your air miles card have far more important data and they use it in whatever way they see fit (within the confine of the law).
No fuck that. If someone steals my credit card I don't give a shit. The card company will just issue me a new one.

Re:CIO of FDIC should be indicted.
The FDIC is a private corporation serving private banks who use the private entity known as the Federal Reserve to earn a spread on your deposits.
How the whole Federal Reserve system came to be and who created and runs it is some deeply disturbing shit. Add the fact that the US has no gold reserves, not even the gold they supposedly hold for other nations. It's all been looted.
A good read on the history behind the creation of the US Federal Reserve is "The Creature From Jekyll Island: A Second Look At The Federal Reserve" by G. Edward Griffin.

It may seem like splitting hairs, but the question is was his Christianity motivational for his murder or merely incidental? Did he cite Christian scripture as his justification? Did he commit murder at the promptings of his pastor?
These are the comparisons which should be emphasized when drawing parallels to mass shooters who were actually motivated by their faiths.

Re:Kremlin-bots on alert
Subject-change detected â" the usual tactics of Kremlin bots.
You mean projection, from another American Exceptionalist. With the bit that anyone who answers western propaganda with facts is a Putinbot.
I accept your surrender of the previous topic â" of Russia being a dangerous aggressor
They're not. You're comparing an anthill to Mt. Everest. Parked on top of Mauna Kea. On top Mt. McKinley, on Fuji, on Rainier...It takes a positively Biblical level of willful blindness for a westerner to point at Russia and claim it's an aggressive power. How many democracies has Russia overthrown since Obama took office? How many countries in Central America have Russian drones flying over them, ready to murder suspects (and dozens of nearby people) at the touch of a button? How many countries has Russia illegally bombed/invaded since the fall of the USSR, compared to the United States? Has Putin been busy expanding the Warsaw Pact to Mexico and Canada, after promising not to do so, running the largest military drills since the second world war? How many bases does Russia have around the world, compared to the U.S.> I could go on all day with facts that cannot be disputed.
Notably, your bombastic accusation includes neither a link to the video, nor transcript of the actual words.
Like asking for a citation that water is wet.
It is perfectly normal for countries to spend money on legal organizations abroad. USSR has been doing just that for decades fomenting racial strife in the US, for example, as well as the so-called "Peace Movement". In the Middle East KGB kept Arafat afloat and fighting Israel.
GTFO with that amateur hour BS. Radio America, heard of it? How many governments around the world has Russia - and even the USSR - overthrown compared to the United States? Is the KGB trying to spy on the electronic communications of every person on the planet? No, that would be the NSA.
You joked about Obama being a KGB-agent
On what planet was that?
And that, even if it were true, equates to an armed invasion in your opinion? Wow...
You want to play that game? Obama has bombed more countries than Bush - how many countries has Putin bombed without the request of that nation's government? Where's the evidence of Putin's "invasion" of Ukraine that doesn't come from social media? Months of western propaganda that Ukraine was being "invaded" by Russian forces, without a single satellite photo.
Because even Colin Powell, when testifying at the U.N., had satellite photos. He was as full of shit as the rest of you American Exceptionalists, but he had photos! Which is more than you have.

Re:Way back machine?
Maybe. It certainly can be but that depends on the website owner. The Wayback Machine respects robots.txt and has some other criteria, but basically if content is publicly accessible via a URL (without requiring logging in or entering data into forms) it can be archived and most likely is.
You can explicitly add a page you want saved by going to https://archive.org/web/ and entering the URL into the Save Page Now box. It doesn't add the page to their web crawlers but it will preserve the page permanently so you can view and cite it even after the original site goes through several web redesigns breaking existing content or after the site goes down permanently.
That's probably not so helpful if you want to preserve an entire site, though. They also have the Archive-It service which I know less about, but it's a way to explicitly preserve entire digital collections.
So by one of those three methods (web crawling, save-a-page, or save-a-collection) I would hope useful or interesting content doesn't disappear.

Re:Really?
"Indeed, Skype wasn't meant for Linux particularly, it was meant for all major platforms, including Linux.'
Untrue. When it first came out, it only supported 2000 and XP.
"I highly doubt that. Login on a new device and try going back more than a month on a non-cloud chat"
Oh, look, I see an option to go back SEVERAL MONTHS. Hell I don't even have to click, I just endlessly scroll and it appears once it gets the data from the server. It works like Twitter's infini-scroll. It's not difficult to use and I can still access chats I have from when I was doing LED work in the UK, YEARS AGO.
"I genuinely suspect you're making up stories, much like your whole whole super secret IPv6 IRC network that had furry musicians on a domain that wasn't registered and you couldn't even provide a IPv6 address to connect to (I still have those IRC logs)."
I can prove you're an untrustworthy and petty fucking shit if you want to get into that nonsense. All it takes is calling TempDog for the logs where your ass hijacked my IRC account, which he has several copies of just in case you ever become a fucking problem.
"Sorry, all the clients and operating systems I use are supported [skype.com]"
And yet just immediately above you say...
" I can't even see half of my group chats on the Linux client"
THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE PROPER LINUX SUPPORT.
"Now your Windows 7 support ended on 1/13/2015 and Windows XP support ended on 14/04/2009."
Apparently you have no clue how this works. The OS itself doesn't need to still-supported by its manufacturer, the software that runs on the OS itself just must work with whatever the OS uses. Since stuff from XP on up hasn't changed all that drastically (hence all these new hacks coming out that can target every NT-based Windows OS) It's pretty much write it for XP and it will work forwards up to Windows 10 (Oh, Skype on my Fiance's Win10 computer WORKS JUST FINE.)
To boot, Skype for Linux was OFFICIALLY DISCONTINUED February of this year, so no, you are not using a supported client or operating system, despite your nonsensical claim.
"Now, maybe in theory, you running outdated, unsupported systems may work well, but considering how Skype actually works, I doubt it really does "
Real computer users do the checking themselves. Apparently you're not a real computer user if you can't be bothered to spend the two minutes it takes to see if it works.
So, given almost the entirety of your bullshit has been shown to be incorrect, the only reason your ass responded to me was as always to try to denigrate me. You're just a useless sack of shit, Ash.

Re:This is what happens when you have
let me help. rate of sea level rise increasing. tinyurl.com/gqx9hgy [Peter Sinclair]
Nerem et al. 2011 [Lonny Eachus, 2016-02-10]
Why did Lonny Eachus link to a graph showing a 3.1 mm/year global sea level trend? Since that's higher than Lonny's claimed "1.1 mm/year", doesn't that simple comparison show the rate of sea level rise is increasing (i.e. accelerating) over the long term? And since Lonny's accused scientists of being "liars" if they acknowledge the global sea level rise of ~3 mm/year, why did Lonny cite a graph containing what he called a lie from a scientist he's previously called a "liar"?
Furthermore, that's not a peer-reviewed paper. It's a slide from a 2011 presentation which hasn't been turned into a peer-reviewed paper. A real skeptic might wonder why it hasn't. Hint: in 2011 Jane/Lonny briefly stopped denying satellite measurements of sea level because they showed a short term drop. Of course, scientists told Jane that this was because the 2011 La Nina caused such massive flooding that global sea level fell temporarily. See Boening et al. 2012 (PDF).
So is it really surprising that calculating sea level acceleration from 1993-2011 gave an unrepresentative answer? Especially because that's a short timespan, and detecting acceleration requires a longer timespan than just detecting a trend. Maybe we could learn why that 2011 presentation hasn't become a peer-reviewed paper by looking at that same data up to 2016.
Let's analyze that raw data (backup) from sealevel.colorado.edu (backup). Here are accelerations and uncertainties for timespans that all end at 2016.1 but start at 1993, 1994, etc. Notice the similarities between the satellite acceleration graph and the older global tide gauge acceleration graph I've shown Jane/Lonny. All the black best-fit accelerations are positive. More recent accelerations tend to be larger. (The most recent accelerations and even their red lower 95% confidence intervals are off the scale even though the upper vertical limit is twice as high as in the older graph.) This tends to suggest that not only is global sea level accelerating, it's even "jerking" up.
(Technical note: those 95% confidence intervals were calculated using a ARMA(1,1) noise model. I also tested AR(1), MA(1), ARMA(1,2), and ARMA(2,1), but ARMA(1,1) minimized both the AIC and BIC.)
let me help. rate of sea level rise increasing.

Re:What's so "unreasonable"?
Formerly on the NALC website (and saved by the Wayback Machine:
Although the NALC objected strenuously to one provision—requiring injured postal employees to wait three days before beginning Continuation of Pay benefits—the union played a crucial role in developing many of its most important provisions.
(Note that that one provision is something no one remembers or cares about today.)
The Constitution had to explicitly allow the government to deliver mail since otherwise the monopoly would have been illegal. However, there is no requirement for it either (unlike the original Articles of Confederation which explicitly gave the government a monopoly on mail delivery) so the government is free to get out of the mail delivery business if it chooses to, without amending the Constitution. Hence the fact that no privatization attempt has ever included a proposal to amend the Constitution, since it's unnecessary. If there actually was such a requirement, postal unions wouldn't waste time opposing privatization attempts - they'd simply ignore them, knowing they'd be struck down.

So Lonny can "rebut anybody" by telling a mother there's a special place in Hell for her, but I can't object? Sure. [DumbSci]
By the way, from Hayhoe's Bible: "But as for the cowardly murderers
Once again Lonny, you have a remarkable ability to rationalize your own behavior. Lonny seems to be denying that he's attacking scientists, while simultaneously doubling down on his baseless "liar" and "hypocrite" attacks.
Does Lonny seriously think he wasn't attacking a mother by telling her there's a special place in Hell for people like her? Wow. Lonny should try to remember that one Christian mother already said she was "pretty sure" Lonny was attacking her. If Lonny is actually just honestly confused about how this works (rather than simply acting like a pathologically dishonest psychopath who sadistically enjoys attacking mothers) then maybe Lonny should stand outside a Christian church and tell every mother leaving with young children that there's a special place in Hell for people like her. Then Lonny could ask if that's an attack or just a common phrase.

The circumstances were different, and Google never claimed to have licensed Java or any of Sun's technology to use in Android.
However, from the very beginning Google were clear (emphatic, even) that Android applications are "written in the Java programming language."
Jonathan Schwartz then-CEO of Sun even congratulated Google on using Java on their new platform.
So Google did in fact call the result "Java" in their developer documentation, if not in press releases.

Seen humans die from it, lab accident. You have to be careful about nitrogen, it's sneaky.
And yes, death can take a while. Brain death will take some time. The trick is that you're unconscious within a few breaths.
It takes a minute or two at the least. And the suffoccee will gasp ferociously while tearing at their throat during before unconsciousness ensues. It is a horror show.
Are you sure that you didn't witness a case of CO2 asphyxiation? That's where you get the symptoms you describe. You must absolutely avoid CO2, as that's what the human body detects. For that matter, N2 asphyxiation doesn't work with most burrowing animals - they often have a working O2 level detection system.

No matter your view on capital punishment (pro or con), a death with such a dramatic behavior will scar those who see it
What dramatic behavior? They go unconscious almost immediately, and there are no dramatic moments like clutching for the throat - Look up hypoxia sometime.

Re:Reminds me of the Dot Com bubble
"I slept at work again last night; two and a half hours curled up in a quilt underneath my desk, from 11am to 1:30pm or so. That was when I woke up with a start, realizing that I was late for a meeting we were scheduled to have to argue about colormaps and dithering, and how we should deal with all the nefarious 8-bit color management issues. But it was no big deal, we just had the meeting later. It's hard for someone to hold it against you when you miss a meeting because you've been at work so long that you've passed out from exhaustion."
