Can't do, pretty sure blue is already reserved for the standby/power indicator (mandated encoding seems to be: standby: blindingly bright blue, power on: even more blindingly bright blue)
So you can only be owned while your computer is on, congratulations. Not that it changes much -- while the computer is "off" (aka S5), the RAM isn't refreshed and the non-SB power rails are down, so pretty much all the ME can do at that point is pinging home, mining BTC or turning on the machine.
Okay; I was suspecting you had done this intentionally to create a false premise that would evade a careless reader to build your next argument upon, which reads:
The matter/anti-matter ratio in each side is now 210,000/290.000, which annihilates, leaving 80,000 matter particles and 420,000*MC^2 of energy. On each side.
Emphasis mine. Clearly you would have 80000 antimatter and some energy on one side.
BTW (I'm not an expert either), but my favorite idea of an infinite/cyclic universe is that when entropy is literally at 0, something weird happens that starts a new cycle. It's probably crackpot talk, but suppose the universe is completely devoid of any objects (subatomic particles distributed uniformly), so it looks the same in every direction (provided it weren't pitch black). You could almost argue there is no space anymore. You can certainly argue there is no time anymore, because with no objects there are no velocities and nothing to even apply the concept "time" to. I'd like to believe that in such a state, time and space actually cease to exist, and this event by whatever means, initiates a new big bang -- or maybe time does continue to exist, and it only takes 9001 zillion years until the right fluctuation comes by (after all, if a probability of something is > 0, no matter how small, given infinite time it will happen)
If you find a way to reverse entropy, yes. Unfortunately, we won't.
But I guess there is a very slim chance for a Big Crunch (that's what they call it) to happen, much like there's a (comparably huge) chance that the shartds of the coffee mug you shattered today will, by chance due to quantum fluctuations, jump out of the trash can, put themselves together mid air and land on a table like new. Possibly filled with coffee.
Even though you'd expect equal amounts of matter and antimatter to go to both positions, it's statistically unlikely. Referring to the coin analogy, you might get 210,000 matter and 290,000 antimatter on one position, and 290,000 antimatter and 210,000 matter in the other. Both sides have 500,000 "coins", but with slightly different proportions, according to statistical chance.
So in total you'd have 580000 antimatter and 420000 matter. Where does this imbalance come from?
Email over Internet is exactly as expensive as the Internet connection over which it runs.
That would only be true if all you ever did on the Internet was emailing, making that the sole reason for you to get said internet connection. I'm getting tired of your bullshit arguments.
I'm under the impression that more cellular subscribers in the United States currently subscribe to unmetered SMS than to unmetered data.
SMS is a billion-dollar business (that's mostly because it's essentially free for the carrier). It doesn't matter whether or not it's metered, since you're paying for it implicitly. Oh and "unmetered SMS" is something you usually pay extra for.
Just because a mail service such as Gmail has someone competent doesn't mean that the service's users have a way to contact this competent person.
My point was that the competent person will likely reduce the likelihood of you needing to contact anybody because they're doing it right in the first place.
I don't feel like continuing this discussion, it seems pointless. Feel free to believe SMS is as free and decentral therefore resilient as Email is (never mind the reliability, but you conveniently ignored that) while I rest myself knowing that it's not. At all.
Email over cellular isn't free if it causes the data subscriber to hit his plan's cap. Overages tend to cost $10/mo or more.
Your Internet connection being expensive af doesn't make Email non-free. You cannot possibly not see that your argument is flawed.
I thought one already had to pay for SMS in order to get 2-factor authentication on popular websites. Google and Twitter, for example, won't let a user use TOTP as a second factor unless the user first sets up SMS. And nowadays, the next step up from pay-per-minute cellular tends to be a plan with more minutes and texts than the average subscriber knows what to do with.
I'm not sure what kind of point you're trying to make, but it certainly doesn't sound like "SMS is free".
But good luck convincing a major email provider to check log files for you.
Fortunately, the bigger the mail hoster the higher the chance they have someone competent somewhere. The smaller the mail hoster, the more likely that someone actually reads mail for postmaster.
Nor is a data plan, which email requires. You need either cellular data through a cellular carrier or home data through a home ISP. Some cellular plans in the United States have unmetered talk and text but metered or no data.
You need either an ISP or a mobile data plan to access the internet, and it's not free, sure. Then, email is free and sms costs extra money (you don't get "free text", you pay for it monthly)
Unless a filter on the recipient's server has blackholed the message on "almost certainly spam, phish, or malware" grounds rather than bouncing it or routing it to the recipient's spam folder.
I specifically addressed broken and misconfigured systems. And "blackholing" doesn't mean there's no trace in the log files.
Or unless it has sat in queues or greylists on various intermediate MTAs for a total of several minutes.
Okay fair point, you can't rely on the mail to arrive immediately. But you probably wouldn't start annoying the recipient by asking them whether they received your email yet, within the first couple minutes of sending it. [That said, of course an email can sit in queues for days. It's a good thing that servers retry, and some MTAs support sending pre-delivery failure warnings]

Thank you grammar nazi. What would we do without you.
That was actually a spelling nazi, please don't mistake those for true grammar nazis.
That said, you forgot a fucking comma. How hard can it be?
I never look at the source code (but I'm sure that all of you do - LOL!).
I often look at FOSS projects' source code, especially when I feel the need to change something.
Do you really think there are no programmers, like, at all?

Oh, when I saw BMW recalling 1 million cars, I was sure it was going to be because their turn signals didn't work.
Hilarious until here.
Because, you know, BMW drivers never freaking use their turn signals.
Ruined it completely by explaining a joke that didn't need explaining.

Switched to it the other week, works well for me.
...and you found that out how exactly?
Thanks for insightfully repeating what TFS already said.
And it really doesn't matter whether it's doing math wrong, or whether it's doing software wrong.
But does systemd-calcd compute the right result when you IPC it the math term via dbus?
Okay, but throwing and missing is so not god-ly

Feel free to suggest a way to use the service that you call "free and decentral" without incurring additional monthly data use.
