I feel nostalgic for the times when customer backlash forced Intel to withdraw the "Processor Serial Number" misfeature from their new Pentium III CPUs. And this was back when the x86 architecture was the undisputed king, not on the path to irrelevance like it's now.
is obvious, if somewhat cynical. Stop using new pesticides. Get used to reduced yields and higher prices of food. There will be famines in the 3rd world. It is inevitable. The human population on our Earth is already well past the line where it can be fed safely. The first few decades will be the hardest. But a century in the future, our descendants will thank us for having evaded the looming catastrophe.
As someone who writes BIOS for a living, no we can't go back to legacy BIOS at this point. Chipset initialization has gotten too complex to fit in the 1 MB of RAM allowed by 16 bit real mode.
Please forgive my ignorance, but how about the Unreal mode, that can give you the full 4GB of RAM? It's well known, universally supported and used for almost 3 decades now.
I run Linux, but I don't want things that are Linux-only on my machines. They limit my freedom to move to another OS if the need arises one day, and it's a huge red flag for me. That's why I won't touch systemd with a ten-foot long pole. And I'm clean shaven, by the way.
IMHO, performance shouldn't even be a metric than we compare browsers on. Why do we need the browser to be fast? To run JS code fast? To mine monero fast? To render monstrous bloated crappy ad-ridden websites less slowly? Some of these can bring even the fastest browsers on the fastest machines with lots of memory to their knees. Sorry, but no. Just say no to those kind of websites and use any browser you want. Save yourselves the frustration and stop encouraging crappy web design and advertisers' greed.
Indeed. Requiring client-side JS won't stop the crooks, IMHO, simply because they can tamper with their browsers/web clients and modify the behaviors of their JS engines as they see fit. OTOH, it will make life harder for the power users that disable JS for security reasons. Bottom line - bad, user-hostile idea from Google.
When a violent crime is happening and lives are hanging in the balance, there's no time for your little checklist.
Actually, in this particular case there was plenty of time to think. In a hostage situation, you simply don't rush things. Unless you're incompetent police, that is.
Unfortunately, some lives will be lost when people don't follow the commands they are given.
What if the guy who is given commands happens to be deaf? A foreigner who doesn't understand the language? Slow-witted? Intoxicated? The police command just becomes a death sentence, according to your logic. It shouldn't be this way.
The bottom line is, IMHO, that both Barriss and the police bear the bulk of responsibility for this unfortunate incident, and neither should be allowed to avoid paying the price.
There is another advantage of having drugs that work on different phases of the pathological process. It is that they can often show synergism when taken together, and such a combination has the potential to become the most effective treatment.
Sadly, it seems that we have missed the deadline. We had to act decades ago on this. And by the way, the correct action would be not to limit what people eat, but to limit the number of people, by doing what China was doing, globally. You say, humanity will soon number 10 billion? This is crazy. The Earth just can't feed so many people without slowly but irreversibly depleting its resources and destroying itself. And even if we stop eating meat, what will it accomplish? The problem just will be postponed by 20 or 30 years, the humans will continue to multiply like rabbits, and then the scientists will tell us that the world population now approaches 20 billion and in order to secure food for everybody, we will have to only eat grass? How is this a sustainable solution? I'm sad because humans proved to be an unreasonable species and that ultimately Maltus was right.

Qualcomm has learned these tricks from Intel all too well. It's indeed ironic that Intel is at the receiving side right now. Bad karma is a b!tch.
I could send you the last one I've actually used, but sadly it's for Windows 3.1 .
Just install "libpam-elogind-compat" from experimental in buster/sid and you get almost the entire Debian distro without systemd.

IMHO, if T.gondii is hosted by 2 billion people worldwide, then it's rather a human parasite than a "cat parasite".
Emacs is so yesterday. These days, the obvious alternative to anything is called systemd.
I would say that X and Y are nucleobases, rather than amino-acids.
Is this an artifact of averaging and poor journalism
Good luck finding journalists who understand quantum physics.
Like my manboobs aren't already big enough.

when Linux apps start requiring systemd
Just say no to Linux apps. Use portable *nix apps instead.

Dude, for the Heaven's sake, please, please, PLEASE seek medical help.
I do blame her though... for not considering an abortion, or at least contraception... *ducks*
Just don't get your Linux from the MS store. Problem solved.
The rats deserve to die. .
You're dangerously close to being a criminal again, IMHO. Control yourself before it's too late.

The first problem is that they can be dropped from future versions of GCC. They're not part of any standard, after all.
IMHO, GCC rarely drops its proprietary extensions, once introduced and documented. Correct me if I'm wrong.

-Also, alcohol + night swimming is a winning combination.
Indeed, it's a good way to win the Darwin award.
FYI, male placental mammals have X chromosomes.
