0 Fahrenheit was based on the freezing point of a water-salt mixture, and 96 on the human body temperature, and degree sizes were based on another guy's scale for nice human divisibility (par for the course for U.S. units).
Do you have any arguments why Celsius is better for colloquial uses? If you were brought up with Fahrenheit, you have the numbers memorized already.
That's like saying that when a 3D game won't run because they rely on driver bugs which don't exist in our driver, it's the game's problem.
Sounds accurate. It's NOT good programming practice to rely on undocumented and/or unintentional functionality, and if it was intentional, it would work across drivers (well, excluding incompetent driver programmers and subsequent miss in testing, admittedly).
I feel pretty secure taking advice from Finns on the cold, as I like to tell people that you know Finns are badass when you find out they fought the Russians in the Winter War and the *Russians* were freezing to death!
Even if it's a single case of it happening to a Tesla and if you do the numbers, you're way more likely to have the same problem with gasoline vehicles. Which has almost always been the case so far.
A) Even though the article is about Norway, are they expecting Americans to read it and catering to their temperature scale? But more importantly, B) Have the "editors" managed to fuck it up even if the article got it right (very likely)?
If you're really masochistic, try miniconomy. The creator is Dutch, the interface is horrible, and there's negligible documentation (unless you translate the Dutch doc, maybe):)
Well, technically I'm sure there are ogame universes (instances) with 2200 players, but a lot of those are inactive or in vacation mode, and the CPU work in the game is infinitesimally complex compared to Eve from the sounds of it. I'd be interested to find out how many simultaneously acting users their servers can handle. Ogame doesn't, however, dilate time.
e.g. fiat currency, the role bitcoin pragmatically plays in the black market, freedom to define our own currency, traceability vis a vis refunds...that sort of thing.
Well, the RIAA et al. have been doing their best to change society in regards to public perception about music ownership and such; then it just becomes a question of our working definition of "drastic"...but I'm drifting towards pedanticosity here. I would agree with your point.
I made no claim whether or not it "can be stopped." I've been saying all along that I'm just not interested in using or supporting it personally. I think we had a misunderstanding.
Bitcoin can not be stopped.
Is this where I'm supposed to laugh?
Will bitcoin last? I have zero clue. But the amount of absolutes I see used by people describing bitcoin and how it works, makes my bullshit detector go off.
It appears to me that our thread ancestor wasn't really saying that, either.
Think about how endless permission messages on Vista lead to people blindly clicking "OK" all the time. Think about how parents were quickly trained by their kids to enter their PIN every time the iPad required it to play some game.
I'd say that's more of a user problem than an interface problem, really. If it throws up a popup in front of the user saying, "This site is attempting to steal your credit card info" and the popup is green with a giant smiley face, *that* would be an interface problem. Ignorant users is not a design problem. Making it hard for users to figure stuff out would be.
Security is not an Easy Button, for a number of reasons. Allowing all permissions in one chunk is the equivalent of signing your soul over in every EULA you ever encounter in a product in order to use it, but there's no reason it has to be. There could at least be a settings page that lets you granularize things (as you say).
Problematic for anything that doesn't host its own installer files, yes. Now a lot of OSS projects are on SourceForge, which tries to entrap you into downloading one of their other installers.

Metric calendar would be daft!
Yes, that was my point.
Fahrenheit has better granularity for describing temperature ranges IMO. A 10 degree difference in Fahrenheit is only ~5.5 degrees in Celsius.

How about you guys switch to the metric calendar for awhile and tell us how well that works out for you.
Metric is not the be-all, end-all. Temperature in colloquial use is easier in Fahrenheit.

I live in Finland

I came to the comment section to see how long it took somebody to mention this. DICE seems to have it out for Tesla.
Except that oxygen kind of literally *does* grow on trees...
We've had highs of -3 for almost 2 weeks of the last month in Wisconsin, too. But what really kills you is the wind chill :P

There's also this little thing we call "leading the target."
If you're going to all-cap a word, try to at least spell it correctly, mmkay?

"Absolutes are never right!!" :)
To explain further, some of those "shaky principles" I was referring to are societal and governmental ones as well, probably moreso than technical.

Remove permission to almost everything.
I checked mine and noted that the new permission had been added but never used.

I'm a CS major, know a bit about PKI, and took discrete math, for what it's worth.
When something is based on a foundation of a large number of somewhat shaky principles, it makes me suspicious. So call me a skeptic.
Same deal as gift cards: You've already paid them the real money, now you just have a voucher you can choose to redeem at a different date.
For sufficiently high levels of "probably bullshit," you don't have to *know.* You're being intentionally obtuse.
And if you don't have an X-Box One, you can run it in Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.
Thanks for explaining the joke. This is the max size for signed 32-bit int? (or rather, one over)
