If it takes 3 days for a bacteria to produce a datum, then surely 3 bacteria can produce the datum in a day. Add a million or so and you've got yourself a speedy little data retrieval device. It's nothing but an engineering problem.
because the people who oppose all gun regulation have a lobby (the NRA) telling them how to vote, they listen, they vote and above all they're single issuer voters.
You have that backwards. I know how I want the NRA to vote, they listen, and (mostly) lobby in my interest. As long as they do that I send them money (voluntarily, I might add). As for "single issue"? I don't know anyone who is a single issue voter. Then again, I don't hang out in churches, poetry readings, SJW meetings, nor white pride meetings.
Why not eliminate 247 white house staffing positions? The country saves money, the public doesn't notice anything different, we're good, right?
Oops, I forgot the #1 rule of cutting government spending. You don't cut the waste where it's painless, you cut the meat where it hurts like hell. Then the politicians say "See! they don't like it when we cut spending!".
Don't forget how to properly differentiate:
- Worrisome Threat To Our Technological Edge: the Chinese/Indians reached in and took the secret sauce
- Shortage Of Qualified Engineers: we brought in people from China/India on short-term visas, taught them the secret sauce recipe, and forced them to return home.
- US Companies Must Remain Competitive: we outsourced the secret sauce to China/India to boost our quarterly results.
Probably as a test. Sure, they landed on their feet. But I'm there there is a wealth of telemetry telling them what went right, what went wrong, and what almost went wrong.
Every smartphone I've owned has had an email address whereby I could email something to that address and the body shows up as a message in my phone. Handy for sending both web and street addresses. Outside of the current Game of the Month (GoM)(tm) it's probably the feature I use most on my droid.
I use a droid, but from what I've read Apple updates their phones pretty regularly. I'm sure Apple has a team of smart folks going over this code with a fine toothed comb, and any issues found will be patched soonish.
Now had a similar chunk 'o 'droid code ended up on github..........
My son is a Fireman and 10 years ago decided he wanted to drive the truck. He had to be able to drive to any address in the city without using a map or navigation app. He spent a lot of time staring at the big map mounted on the wall.
I've been paying attention to the news since the late 70's, when the Iran Hostage Situation was going on, and I was a teenager with a 4 to midnight job that let me listen to the radio at work. I listened to TV news instead of the "music" on the FM band. (others got to smoke at their desks at the time, and for coffee/lunch breaks we went into Charlie's van and smoked some of the best weed you could buy at the time). I had this job when Ted Koppel started his Nightline show, and I listened to him every night.
Even stoned me at 11 PM, after having been up since 6 AM for that 7 AM class, knew the news was heavily biased towards the left wing/liberal/progressive/whatever.
Don't believe me? Watch an abortion story, it's clear the network wants abortion to be legal. Watch a gun story, it's clear that not only does the network want to outlaw guns, they can't be bothered to learn the difference between a Ruger 10/22 and an AK-47. Watch a tax/budget cut story, it's clear they want the government to have more money.
Now the right has figured out how to get their message to more of their peeps (albeit a much smaller pond to fish in), and the lefties are going nuts.
Note I did not mention my party preference, abortion position, gun control position, nor tax/spending position. The mainstream media has been biased towards "progressive" causes for at least 40 years, now folks on the pointy end are squealing like stuck pigs.
This whole fake news thing is new and I don't know how to deal with it. Except I don't have a single social media account, I devote at least 12 brain cells to every story I read, and I assume Trump and his sycophants are lying through their teeth when they open their mouths.
Today, Superb Owl Sunday, my U-Verse went out about 12:30 PM PST. Game start is 3:30. I spent an hour rebooting things and googling (yeah, I verified my internet was working then used it). Finally the att website said U-Verse was down in my area and hold my panties for a bit. TV came back about 2:30, hour before the game starts.
That 30 second black screen looked exactly like my TV 3-4 hours earlier. I had visions of rebooting everything (a good 5-10 minute deal) to missing the rest of the game.
I don't play GTAO so I may be blowing smoke. But why can't a player select multiple games they want to play, then when the server can fill a game it puts the player game-match on hold and starts the game.
Came here to say this. With modern CGI it shouldn't be too hard to Do It Right (tm). Be best as a miniseries, like The Expanse, but I'll settle for a movie.
AFAIK there isn't a movie or miniseries adaptation in the works. My insurance company says I have 15-20 years left until the arcturial tables decide times up, so get going Netflix!
Perl came out a couple years before Tcl. At various points of my career I've been pretty good in both, but never really took to Tcl. Dunno why, it just never jelled for me.
Perl of course was awesome. Provided you never had to look at someone else's line noise, errr, script.
For years we've been bombarded by press releases that say video games cause violent behaviour, followed by studies that say "nuh uh" So what changed? Did someone actually posit video games cause violent behaviour, then run a study that disproved the hypothesis?

This. It actually sounds like something I'd read on the Onion.

A low capacity, low power, handgun is perfectly sufficient for self-defence.
Yeah, that's why cops carry low power Glock .40s that can only hold 15+1 rounds.
A better plan is to do gradual upgrades on a schedule.
Yep, cuz when you're managing 1,000+ systems it's much easier to deal with 5-10 different configurations than it is for just 1.
but I enjoy eating fine foods and drinking good beer.
Dafuq did I just read? English as a second language, or modern college student?

Wonder how they taste?
Or 100 dead ospreys on your beach.
Can't they just rotate their engines vertical and climb over them? Jeez, talk about a solved problem.

I'm so sick of cheating assholes in my online games, about time some of these assholes get tossed in the pokey a while.
Any Javascript framework with decent garbage collection will know to bury itself 6 feet under, cuz javascript is by definition garbage.
Sent a DNA sample to ancestry.com for my family tree, they sent back an envelope of seeds with a note "start over".
