Right, the 68000 was 32-bit internal, 16-bit to the bus, if I recall from my Atari ST. One even had a choice of operating systems and programming languages - you could boot an OS off floppy, bypassing the ROM OS. The 68k offered a fairly congenial environment for lots of stuff.
Yup. Haven't even owned a TV set for five years, haven't watched broadcast or cable since '05. Only time I see an operating set is at the local, which during the day usually has music playing. I still watch a few shows via Hulu and networks' sites, and admit to currently considering NetFlix or HuluPlus for the occasional entertainment fix. Other stuff I get from Vimeo, Vodo, etc.
If freedom means "your right to swing your arm ends where my nose begins," then I suggest responsibility means that if you swing your arm at my nose then you may suffer a mischief - or to paraphrase from your next sentence, in a world of shared space, freedom entails a balance.
Perhaps I'm in a small minority but I prefer not having to frequently re-boot my system and I prefer having access to it which is why all the games I play do so in their own windows (for some odd reason I've never gotten around to using multiple desktops.)
With a bolt-action or rolling-block single-shot, no. (Although at the range I've seen a few do quite well with bolt-action and five-round mags.)
With a semi-auto (one trigger pull, one shot), close. Factor in magazine capacity and reload time. In a crowded room, "aiming" at a compact group of people is pretty much gonna guarantee a hit, no?
By a "couple of minutes" do you mean 120 seconds? How fast can you click your mouse?
You seem to have conveniently left out the shotgun and pistol.

Maybe not, but since when is an "education ticket" a real-world necessity for the knowledge and skill to do anything?

"In some States, restaurants can participate in SNAP as a meal service that serves special populations (e.g., elderly, homeless or disabled persons), and the restaurant has been approved to participate in this program. At this time, Michigan and California are the only States that participate in this initiative, with a couple of other States in pilot phase. Participating restaurants must offer meals only to these three groups of program recipients and offer them at concessional prices. Other SNAP recipients cannot use their EBT cards in these restaurants. USDA works with States to authorize restaurants participating in these special program where they exist. Whether or not States offer these special programs is totally up to individual States, not USDA."
Otherwise, hot foods are not eligible. Cold prepared items in retail packaging are allowed under normal rules.
If this research is done and shows what Stevens thinks it might, I'd be open to developers applying it if they were candid about doing so. My fear would be if it works and could be applied in advertising, political rhetoric, and incorporated into television news and shows.
I was mostly referring to the forums one runs across, say for an OS, a widget, or a game. Many posts start with "Help!" Some will add "can't start" or somesuch. There might be hundreds of these scattered about in various 'threads'.
In 'olden' days the sysops (as they were called) would sort them where they appropriately went, often after asking - by email or private forum message - or by automated message - to have the poster re-phrase the header. They'd also simply move stuff and merge or close topics wherein the posts already fit existing topic areas. It greatly reduced clutter, inane and otherwise, helped people get to where they needed to go, whilst showing them how things were done.
Enter the Web: I recall going to a Windows 95 forum on Microsoft; in just one subject area there were hundreds, possibly thousands, of posts, roughly one-third spam, and too many of the rest... so vaguely headed that one hadn't a clue as to content without reading them.
When 'the Web' happened, seems to me no company wanted to in any fashion compensate people to do what the sysops did, and what I still think is needful in many forums.
I wasn't thinking much in terms of/. for instance; each news item here is a separate 'topic' that people sort themselves out by reading, commenting, moderating, or skipping and going on to another story, and posters do a bit of additional sorting by using the subject/header line.
Real moderators are one the things I missed the most going from GEnie, Delphi, CompuServe to "the Web." People could choose a handle to use in the forums, while the company knew your real name for billing and access control.
Posts were sorted by topic and thread, people were admonished, counseled, or banned for misuse. 'Twas fairly civilized, and sorely missed.
What I wrote (or though I wrote) was that it's fine to _say_ that there's no distinction - unless one intends to do something in the real world, in which case the distinction is crucial.
I've done enough pads, slabs, driveways, walls and a few domes to understand the difference; nothing lately, though.
Last project worked on was a 55' monocoque ketch-rigged cruising boat, flush deck, center cockpit, 38'4'' LWL done in ferro-cement (it's been called that since Moses was a pup, but it uses mixed-grade fines as aggregate, often with fly-ash added, and back forty years ago often used now-deprecated Type II or IV Portland from the American schedule. With a two-week steam cure @140F works pretty well, btw.)
Yeah, jack up the rates, cut services, introduce new restrictions, close out existing "loopholes". It's getting way past slim pickens', and I don't think guerrilla mesh grid is gonna fly. Not sure I want to live long enough to see how bad it gets, on the off chance things'll get better.
Good thinking. Thanks. I get by easily with Net10 just now - half of friends and relatives are already dead, the rest of us communicate mostly by email. But if I can get my Social Security crap straightened out, I wouldn't mind having a tad more portable connectivity as there are times it'd come in handy.
Look at a manual typewriter. (I learned to type on them. One of the classroom machines was made in 1899.) The slash was around a long time before the backslash.
Unless you're going to build something out of concrete, no, there's no distinction. Otherwise one suits the cement to the application, say when building a boat for salt-water cruising.
If memory serves, wasn't cryptochrome mentioned in the article last week about the cell in the sea trout's nose that apparently helps it navigate by using Earth's magnetic field? And a fellow provided two links to journal articles wherein the same protein featured in some not-well-understood fashion having to do with birds using geomagnetic nav?
If so, strikes me as one very interesting protein.
Don't know what links you clicked, but if you start with a link in the post, go to end of article, click to http://red.planetarena.org/
then click the download button, take your pick of sites (of which Desura is one choice). It's easier to do than to write how to do it.
I'm downloading the tarball now, and was not asked or required to install anything to do so. Alien Arena (didn't check version) is also available via the Ubuntu Software Center; can be installed from community-supported applications in Crossover as well.
When you find someone living on the street who can can and brew, lemme know. I've lived on the street, and it's a pitiful, tough existence, especially in the winter. Also, FYI, foraging is quite distinct from dumpster diving, as well.
