in the same way Communism was outlawed in Russia after 1991.
Yeah, that really worked as intended, so there's no chance that an ex-KGB agent would seize the power, turn into a dictator and would start to revive the Soviet Union. Oh, wait...
Zachary Barth made infinimer, of which Notch took the unencrypted source code and made Minecraft.
That's a pretty serious allegiation that would be easy to prove since the source code for Infiniminer was leaked and the source code for Minecraft was reversed - yet nobody came up with this but you. Do you have any proof or we can just assume that you are spewing bullshit?
Notch Persson gave nothing back.
I would think helping out Humble Bundle (with money and with spreading the word) in itself classifies as giving back to the indie scene.
He shit all over the Indie scene, having made himself thie authoratitve voice in indy culture.
Oh, yeah, we all know the story of the extrovert Notch who has pushed himself into the limelight... oh, wait, no, it's something you have fabricated.
Frankly, if you dislike someone, just say so, but do not make up shit and especially do not make up shit that is obviously not true.
Don't trust anyone, especially not cloud providers. I think a more appropiate question would be to ask for some solution where the untrustworthiness of the cloud provider is a given and is accounted for (like storing everything encrypted and not handling the decryption key to the provider).
I'll admit I haven't seen the move or read the book, but where in hell does he get the seeds and fertilizer to grow plants in Martian soil?
There is a plausible explanation in the book for this (the mission had neither fertilizer nor seeds as such). My recommendation is to read a book - it's not that long and quite enjoyable.
The Linux port of CryEngine does not mean however that the existing CryEngine games get a Linux port overnight as it requires further work on the game developer's side (at the very minimum a recompilation but I guess there will be lots of small things and also it may be a problem if they use any third-party lib that does not support Linux)
One particularly salient point, brought up by many, is that the treatment is "untested". His treatment doesn't work because there are no studies to confirm this.
No one addresses the evidence.
Huh? Studies ARE the evidence. Anecdotal data is not. And it seems like that Burzynski is working hard to NOT have any studies done.
What kind of kid who at least *thinks* he might be capable of hacking the school's system wouldnt be aware of cloud storage/backup?
Dunning and Kruger wants to have a word with you. Basically it comes down to this: it is exactly the kid who is not aware of cloud storage (and is pretty clueless about computers in general) is the kind who thinks he might hack the school's computer.
You do realize that Beethoven was one of the pioneers of the copyright-based music publishing? (Of course in his time it was sheet music and not recordings.)
India and China were devastated, they had no clue of what was hitting them, they were reduced abject poverty and penury, to less than 5% of the GDP.
That smells fishy. Was their GDP really reduced or all that happened was that the European GDP made such a huge jump but India's and China's stayed on the level before? Do you have any solid data to support this claim?
Unfortunately it all boils down to this: if you want decent 3D performance under Linux, choose NVidia, because it actually works. If you do not need it, choose Intel, because they have decent open source drivers.
And USB 3 does not do everything I use Thunderbolt for on my Mac
You should update your infos.
including ferry USB3 over the same wire as video.
It's actually a feature of USB3.1 and that's what the new MacBook does. It has a single USB C connector on it, nothing else (apart from an audio jack), and it's used for charging, video out, peripherials, whatever.
without eating a ridiculous amount of CPU power as required by USB
A comment like this could have only born in a mind that is far-far removed from war.
I'm not a pacifist, but I do think war should be a last option. And it should be messy and painful so that we'll try to find ways to end it.
You don't know shit about wars. Being messy and painful are in practice have nothing to do if a war is ended or not - it just affects how much people suffer.
They don't lose their copyright just because they stop running a server.
But they should if one were to take seriously all that is said about the reasons why we have copyright and how it should serve the good of the society as a whole.
My father is distrustful towards the government even though he is liberal
You know, a basic tenet of liberal democracies is distrust in goverment - that's why we have all these checks and balances, the need for transparency, etc. So I would expect each every liberal to distrust the goverment.
The most easiest way to explain is that it is made up by the submitter: this claim is not present in the linked article.
What IS there is the following: "Using a light beam to charge a smartphone could be as quick as many wired chargers, the researchers found, depending on the size of the PV panel."
It is certainly true, however, the best panels being rated at about 190 W/m2 max output you would need a PV panel about three time the size of an iPhone6 to charge it as fast as its wired charger does (or six times the size if you want to match a 2 amp charger's speed) - all of it presuming ideal conditions.
Windows 95 is long gone from modern Windows version.
Actually that's not true, as demonstrated by the MS14-064 (it's a bug that affects Win8 and also Win95).
As a sidenote, Win95 is not an ancestor of Windows8. Win8 is a member of the WinNT family, its lineage going back to the first version of Windows NT, which was curiously called Windows NT 3.1 (released in 1993). The other line of Windowses (the one going from Windows 1.0 to Windows ME) ran in parallel and the two families sometimes shared some code but that's all, Win8 does not come from Win95.
Either all packets are equal (which is frankly stupid given that people want QoS)
Do they? I, for one, would rather have net neutrality than QoS. And I guess most people do not want QoS, they want enough bandwith and low enough latency in general so QoS does not even come into play.
Solar thermal power plants covering 2/3rd of Mojave Desert could supply the current electricity needs of the entire USA.
No, they could not. That power plant may produce as much energy in a year as the consumption in the USA but alas, that's not enough: it has to produce the energy when it is needed - either by actually producing it on-demand (not really pausible considering that you need elecricity also in the night) or to have some energy storage system (also not really pausible on such a scale).
So what do you think should Palestine's response to the constant checkpoints, blockading of their ports, airport and border crossings, as well as the occupation and continued confiscation of their land by Israel should be?
I ask you the same and if you would come to the conclusion that randomly firing rockets on Isreal and demanding the death of all Jews is the rational reaction that has a very good chance of bringing prosperity and happiness to the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip, I am very much interested in your reasoning.

Does this apply only to forged connections or also to legit ones?

Valve mostly uses the Source engine and it already supports Linux, so a lot of Valve games are already Linux+SteamOS games.
The Linux port of CryEngine does not mean however that the existing CryEngine games get a Linux port overnight as it requires further work on the game developer's side (at the very minimum a recompilation but I guess there will be lots of small things and also it may be a problem if they use any third-party lib that does not support Linux)

Actually, all that solar energy makes German electricity rather pricey. You know, solar (and wind) is anything but cheap.
No, they could not.
