The "10" in windows 10 is not the version number, it's the marketing name. Their version number is something different which may or may not begin with 10, but at least doesn't bounce up and down and outside of the domain randomly
This would be a better argument if not for the plethora of distributions and the constancy of change on the Linux [actually: GNU] side of things.
FTFY. Your argument might be true for the unix clone(s), but the real unices (and that doesn't mean "Trademark UNIX" but "source code ancestry") do not welcome change just for sake of changing something. Quite the opposite.
I'd venture a guess that light-based things don't get hot as easily thanks to a lack of resistive heating, which also is the dominant source of losses.
Of course, this won't be free of losses either, but they're probably smaller.
Did I say it would? Nope. If I wanted to invalidate your argument I'd have pointed out that you normally don't get to double-colon away more than two or three components of the address, thanks to the universally recommended and implemented/64 split, so even "short" ip6 addresses are still significantly longer than ip4 ones..
Since fingerprint authorization is deployed in the name of security, I think it's reasonable to assume that those doors aren't as easy to punch a hole into; while obtaining a finger only requires a pair of pliers.
Except that it is NOT like that. I have heard of it zero, nada, zilch, times.
FTFY
Kidnapping and mutilation are extremely serious crimes.
No shit?
It is unlikely that any sane person is going to risk that
Well no shit, sherlock. It turns out that criminals usually don't belong to the "sane" kind of people. Good grief. Please re-read your comments before actually submitting and pay close attention to whether what you're going to say makes any sense at all. Because this assertion about what sane people are not going to do is, apart from being completely obvious, utterly irrelevant to the question what insane people might do.
Seriously.
to gain access to your iPhone
What does an iPhone have to do with anything?
Do you also refuse to wear Nikes, because someone might cut your feet off to steal them?
Stop. Please. You're not making sense and this doesn't follow at all.
Many modern fingerprint scanners have pulse detection, so a severed finger wouldn't work.
Oh okay, that makes it much better. At least you will know that your missing finger(s) didn't gain the criminals access to whatever they tried to access.
You're probably assuming it goes more or less like this: 1. Criminal wants to access fingerprint-based facility 2. Criminal finds out the fingerprint scanner model 3. Criminal reads the manual/specification of the scanner 4. Criminal realizes it won't work with a cut-off finger 5. Criminal is like "damn, no dice."
When really it's more like: 1. Criminal wants to access fingerprint-based facility 2. Criminal waits for someone who has access 3. Criminal cuts off one of two of their fingers 4. Criminal tries to get access using those fingers 5. Access is denied 6. Criminal dumps the worthless fingers somewhere

Yep, and it works well.
BTW, Jun has updated the image now that 7.0 is de-facto released (announcement still missing)
I'm not just laughing at you're comment
Your not?

new features does not need breaking changes
But sometimes/often they do, and in the situation described by AC this case is assumed. What exactly is your point?
actually has meaning, a larger number is newer.
How innovative. Care to point me at some version numbering schemes that do not have this property?
with continuous release.
Ain't no rockstar brogrammer got time for releng, right?
Our software version is whatever the Git hash is.
You're saying this as if that was something to be proud of, rather than a demonstration of laziness...
This is for a large computational science library that's in use by hundreds of researchers around the globe.
Thanks for the warning.
Done.
Done what exactly? I mean, apart from turning a version number into a meaningless number

Also, signal speed might be a bit faster.
"He yelled up the basement stairs,

I POSTED IT AGAIN!"
So in order not to waste time, you suggest wasting even more time by installing twice? Uh oh.
It's actually newfs(8)

0000::0000::0000::0000::0000::0000::0000::0000
You can only have one double colon in there... As per the very rule you're educating us about.
To whoever modded this funny, I wasn't joking...
Actually, camel-case is the correct usage.
No.
The term was coined by an old gaming magazine called GamePro
Yes.
and that's how they wrote it.
No.
Wouldn't you think it's sensible to verify your claims before uttering them as factoids?
But hey, two "informative" upmods already, way to go.

I'd venture a guess that that time is (way) negative.
Just to avoid ambiguity, of course the transformers are part of the PHY, not part of the cable.
Normally there's a transformer on either end of the cable. Whatever they fed "2 seconds of current" through, it wasn't that. WTF.
Protip: You wouldn't camel-case "protip". It only makes you look like a JavaProgrammer....Same goes for child.
