You're exaggerating. He might mess up his country and a bunch of other countries in bad ways if he is elected, but he's nowhere as dangerous or evil as Hitler. He's essentially a clown, a narcissist entertainer who was blessed with and psychologically corrupted by a lot of inherited wealth. The kind of guy who is proud to be an asshole and actually is one, as opposed to all these likable 'nice assholes' who in reality aren't.
Yes, it will be Hillary vs Trump, Trump will become the next George W. Bush^3 of the USA, and after his reign,the US might be at the brink of a civil war, but at least its going to be entertaining. In the long run, a weak and reasonably fucked up US can be beneficial to Europe, so I don't worry too much.
Sorry, whenever I see the word "cyber" in an article, I know it's crap and stop reading. Doesn't matter whether it's about cybernetics or the "US cyber underground".
You're missing the point, which is that an "Android Desktop PC" does not have the kind of applications you'd want to have on a desktop PC. This "Remix OS", a slightly modified version of Android, just runs Android apps developed for phones and tablets. To quote the review: "Remix OS does a pretty good job of making some Android apps feel like they were designed for desktop use, but there’s only so much the OS can do if apps don’t play along."
As a reader of/. I know your political opinions, of course, so it's kind of pointless saying this, but Sanders is definitely among the reasonable politicians in this electoral run. (There are one or two halfway reasonable Republicans, too, but just like Sanders they have no chance of becoming candidates.) You may disagree with his suggestions, that's understandable, but at least he recognizes the real problem, namely the dwindling middle class. You don't have to be a socialist or become one to recognize that this is the biggest problem of the US in the long run, and that clowns like Trump and elitists like Clinton will never address this problem. A better economy will not alleviate this problem. Look at the data, it's horrifying.
By the way, the Danish PM is deliberately misleading and he knows it, but he has a political agenda. The Danish government is one of the most right-wing governments ever in Denmark. However, most of their actual policies would still count as pure socialism in the US. It's just a confusion of words, what Sanders and most of your fellow Americans call Socialism is in reality Social Democracy, which has practically nothing to do with socialism as a precursor to communism. The latter was only ever defended by communists, never by any Social Democrats. Sanders should use the right word, but he deliberately chose not to because the majority of US citizens is unable to make the distinction anyway and he wants to provoke.
It's no problem. Swastikas can be freely shown in history classes, documentaries, etc.
Only if some stupid neonazi puts these symbols on his jacket and walks around in public, or puts a flag in his dumb neonazi meeting cellar, then it's going to create problems for him.
I have no idea if the parent poster has much real experience in Ada (I kinda doubt it.)
I have (sort of), because I have chosen Ada a long time ago as my main implementation language for things that need to be fast. But I'm only programming as a hobby and was joking. Anyway, I didn't want to imply that Ada is more verbose than C. They are both insanely verbose.
if logic is cast aside, then internal/external consistency aren't necessarily valid ways to judge a philosophy's validity.
As a philosopher and logician, I fail to see why someone's "philosophy" shouldn't be judged on the basis of consistency like everything else, just because that person refuses validity, consistency, etc for him- or herself. Surely you must try to understand someone else's position first, but that cannot mean that you can only evaluate that position by adopting it - that would make no sense. Besides, it is my experience after 20 years of doing philosophy that people who refuse logic and mathematical method in general really just do so out of laziness, fear, and sometimes even hatred against things they believe they can't understand. Their criticisms are practically always insubstantial and uninteresting, and have been discussed within the discipline extensively before.
Anti-logical attitudes are particularly amusing and depressing at the same time, because for most purported criticisms of logic there is already a logic as a remedy. (A valid criticism may be that there are too many logics, but you rarely hear that one from non-logicians.)
It is very well legally possible. But the idea that some nation on earth would have to make a law to make it possible in the first place is utterly ridiculous. And only a bunch of complete assholes would get this idea without consulting the rest of the world first.
The idea that the USA - or any other nation state alone, for what its worth - could have the power to grant anyone property rights of extraterrestrial bodies is ridiculous anyway.
There are actually not many armed conflicts around the world, and very few of them are high-intensity conflicts. Most of them are in Africa.
The problem is that if a country or coalition of countries decides to intervene, they also need to be prepared to ensure some minimal level of security and political stability for about 40 years or more, instead of withdrawing after 5-10 years. History has shown that again and again.
The Daesh are not winning anything by any stretch of imagination. They are a pathetically weak force that could be defeated in a very short time by any modern military. The sad fact is, however, that they will never be defeated without a substantial number of foreign troops on the ground in the current situation, because Assad's troops are too weak and the rest is even weaker.
Yes, it's called anti-adblock killer, but it requires Greasemonkey or another script engine and is overall difficult to set up. Not a very well working solution yet but I hope it improves over time.
Oh sure. The best thing to do in case of a power outage is to go alone into the woods with a hunting knife, a backpack, two guns, and no antibiotics. Then live the rest of your life in a cave.
LOL. What kind of "disinterested party" would pay thousands of dollars for a code audit?
BTW, I'd rather trust the last official version of Truecrypt (with correct checksums) than any binary downloaded from the Veracrypt website. Just saying...
Well, I messed up with counting Haskell among low-level languages (I was thinking "low-level=functional purity" in this case). Fair to complain about that. But Ada is definitely low-level, and also faster than Go, has multi-tasking built in since '95, and was designed for large projects, so I'm still kind of dissatisfied with their answer. I gave Go a try several times, but it didn't look as if it had anything that I couldn't get as easily with Ada or Scheme.
From a modern language I'd expect the deficiencies of Ada fixed, a concurrent, incremental GC whenever I want it (but easy to switch off and also manual memory management and memory pools), and basically all dynamic and static features of past languages, where the compiler should automatically turn all dynamic types into static ones when it can prove it's safe. Sure that's a lot of work, but it's doable, especially with modern compiler tools like LLVM. I just don't understand why large corporations who have the money for R&D come up with such half-baked languages.

Sorry, but Android is totally unusable as a desktop operating system. (And I'm not saying that it's particularly usable on phones either.)
But how about installing some good GNU/Linux on it? Does it run?
Since I'm new to Linux Mint (started with 17.2), let me ask at this occasion: How safe are rolling upgrades as opposed to fresh installs?
It's no problem. Swastikas can be freely shown in history classes, documentaries, etc.

It must be great for Ada, though, because it so incredibly verbose.
Also, just changing your C programs from K&R to GNU indentation style will make them more secure!

Wait a minute ... doesn't that mean that Cox must deal with some kind of setback?
I second that. I knew about this incident at least 10 years ago. The Internet is plastered with information about this.
Connect them in a circular network. There you have your infinity.

I have no problems with subscription fees. I just don't subscribe to them. So?
Oh sure. The best thing to do in case of a power outage is to go alone into the woods with a hunting knife, a backpack, two guns, and no antibiotics. Then live the rest of your life in a cave.
I'd say that Mac OS 9 has the best GUI so far.

I'm really not a Windows fan, but anyone who wants or needs to use Android for general computing tasks deserves pity.
For a while I thought they meant zero knowledge protocols. It took me a while what this discussion was really about.
