So true. If this takes off, I can see it as a way to achieve microtransactions, but if a few billion people suddenly start using it to send 1p to each other every time they read a newspaper article or whatnot, then I can see that blockchain becoming as large as all the computer storage in the entire world in short order.
It has to be trimmed in order to be practical, and I'm not sure how practical it would be without the blockchain. I wouldn't worry too much about the transaction speed, visa and mastercard happily handle a lot of transactions so this can be handled too (even if they need a better system than the current one).
people new to torrenting and need a client might look at old links (there are many on the internet) and go and install the very pretty looking uTorrent, and of course they'll want the latest version.
Frankly, I ditched it when they started getting shitty with the adware, I moved to qbitorrent which doesn't look too dissimilar from uTorrent and all is good now.
Ah, but the principle is that the lagoon is filled by the moon (spinning those turbines as it floods in) and then they put down gates to keep the water in, releasing it when the tide has turned. The tides are every 6 hours, so you get a lot of generation during that time - it may not be continuous 24/7 but you get it between 4pm and 10pm, so we would get a lot during the evening when the sun has set and solar is no longer producing. They say generation will be 14 hours a day,
Sure, we still need storage though - efficient storage would fix all our energy problems! I think if we could pump water uphill during peak generation times, it would store a lot of energy. I vote to re-use all the old gas meters we have kicking around for the task!
I do think they could practice on paralysed people first - after all, if they can't reconnect severed spinal cord nerves in someone whose spinal cord is roughly still in place, what hope do they have for merging 2 different spinal cords?
Scaling will matter when you have a 4K display, and half your dialogs appear a quarter of the size you're used to. Take one of your dialogs and think how small that is. More pixels means better looking dialogs, and most of the time you still want them to be the same physical size.
Ah but that was then. I imagine these are more vector graphics than bitmaps. When you get your new 4k monitor, you'll understand why they have to change.
Not necessarily - Wilko Johnson, a famous guitarist,was diagnosed with terminal and apparently inoperable, pancreatic cancer and decided to basically go out with a show - he refused chemo and organised a farewell tour.. and then a doctor got in touch to say he could cure it, and he now is. Which is good news, apart from the farewell tour not being a farewell any more.
I agree, I tweaked a few settings on my work FF (as work laptop is 4GB) and it shows 245MB private bytes used with 6 tabs open and doesn't show nay signs of slowness compared to the default 'cache up loads of stuff' settings.
I think the most important is the sessionhistory stuff as that can multiply how much back button pages are stored, per tab!
not if its a walled garden that all the browsers (and W3C) specify and support. Then its a club that you can join if you like.... or go back to sitting on the steps outside whining at passersby, who don't really care.
I think you can generally blame Google for this, and I think one day they will wall off their part (in a Microsoft-eque de-facto standard) and then we'll be really unhappy with the internet.
I imagine its all kinds of stuff. I clicked the sad button when an upgrade made the pop-out hamburger menu thing instantly close itself. Turns out it was privacy badger plugin, but FF still got 'sad' feedback from me.
They also got valid 'sad' feedback from me too though., when an upgrade added the search box to the 'new tab' screen, all the thumbnails got quite a lot smaller, I complained about that and they did, fair play to them, make the thumbnails bigger in subsequent versions.
The Linux distros would have done a lot better if they were codenamed after an animal, without the stupid adjective. Lucid Lynx - crap name. Lynx - acceptable name suitable to interest PHBs.
Its not so much the name but the sense that people who are coming up with these names are finding it amusing or humorous and so it comes across as unprofessional. Anybody who isn't already deeply into Linux and open source will look at such a name and think its a toy or joke, not something to bet the business on. This is why Microsoft sells Windows, if Linux wants to make inroads they have to appear professional first.
Its like putting your CV up for a job, if its full of schoolboy humour, jokes and nonsense, then you're never going to be invited to interview, no matter how good your qualifications, enthusiasm and intelligence are.
Is there a reliable and efficient process init and monitor server in the Kernel yet? I think that's what people would really be more interested in getting.
Unfortunately music video producers are useless at science, he falls through and keeps going! Not only that, the video is much less than 42 minutes long.
For example: The Double.parseDouble method in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in Oracle Java SE and Java for Business 6 Update 23 and earlier, 5.0 Update 27 and earlier, and 1.4.2_29 and earlier, as used in OpenJDK, Apache, JBossweb, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted string that triggers an infinite loop of estimations during conversion to a double-precision binary floating-point number, as demonstrated using 2.2250738585072012e-308.
or an oldie that you'll appreciate given your criticism of C/C++:-)
Integer overflow in the embedded ICC profile image parser in Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) before 1.5.0_11-b03 and 1.6.x before 1.6.0_01-b06, and Sun Java Runtime Environment in JDK and JRE 6, JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 10 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.2_14 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.3.1_20 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (JVM crash) via a crafted JPEG or BMP file that triggers a buffer overflow.
Simple fact: *nothing* is as secure as you think, that's why you have to design your architecture with layers in mind. This applies to Java just as much as any other platform.
I doubt its to make profit, lower costs so more people can benefit from justice... but that's hardly a bad thing.
I imagine it'll be an online way to submit forms and evidences by both parties (in a back-and-forth manner) which will be ruled upon when all the bits are uploaded.
The small claims court works pretty well, and it perhaps the model for the rest of the judiciary, but then the lawyers wouldn't be able to stretch out the case with bullshit and legalities to collect fees for longer.
I agree, but I think the reason some people do it is to do with some politicized ideology (usually left-wing) where established norms are broken down for entirely unjustified and selfish reasons.
Here in the UK we see the effects of this kind of new-think in the horrendous sex scandal in Rotherham, where its more important to be 'on message' than it is to deal with things. I know we can rewrite such sentences to be gender-neutral but again, this is allowing 'them' to affect our behaviour and way of thinking.
So I don't think this is pendulum swinging, but "political correctness", or attempted mind-control by people who want us to be afraid of what we think - for fear of being attacked for not conforming to their new reality. Pendulum swinging is where we have all-women shortlists or special girls-only STEM education programmes, reasonable to some extent I suppose as such are well-intentioned.
I may have put all that in too-conspiracy-theorist terms though, shows how difficult it is to discuss these things.
and hopefully they will be able to teach English to these kids, and Bill and Melinda too.
As my (female) English teacher used to say "He embraces she", as in the masculine form refers to both sexes, similar to how we refer to ourselves as mankind, not womankind.
As yes, I know its some stupid politically correct bastardisation of he language to use feminine pronouns like this for some sort of awareness brainwashing similar to New Think, but that only serves to demonstrate a sense of exclusion of boys in such writing.

creating code that doesn't need to be refactored is the key to maintainable code.
C++ is a language that is very good for generic programming. It doesn't really meet Alan Kay's definition of OO
To be fair, there aren't very many that do!
Did they come to that conclusion from looking at their own tax returns or Amazon's?

It is blue and black, but if you up the lighting, and/or display it against a white background the black lace part looks golden.
Some programmes on TV over here (including the excellent Last Leg - see it on C4 player) had it on the show, it really is blue and black.
thanks.,

Addenbrookes hospital in Cambridge, UK. Give them a call, you never know.
I agree, I tweaked a few settings on my work FF (as work laptop is 4GB) and it shows 245MB private bytes used with 6 tabs open and doesn't show nay signs of slowness compared to the default 'cache up loads of stuff' settings.
I think the most important is the sessionhistory stuff as that can multiply how much back button pages are stored, per tab!
browser.cache.memory.enable;false
browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers; 2
browser.sessionstore.max_serialize_back;5
browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo;5
browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo;2
I think those are the only settings that I've changed WRT memory. Maybe they could do a pre-defined setting set that optimises FF for low-memory PCs.
not if its a walled garden that all the browsers (and W3C) specify and support. Then its a club that you can join if you like.... or go back to sitting on the steps outside whining at passersby, who don't really care.
I think you can generally blame Google for this, and I think one day they will wall off their part (in a Microsoft-eque de-facto standard) and then we'll be really unhappy with the internet.
what exactly is the negative feedback about?
I imagine its all kinds of stuff. I clicked the sad button when an upgrade made the pop-out hamburger menu thing instantly close itself. Turns out it was privacy badger plugin, but FF still got 'sad' feedback from me.

Well Toyota did release the MR2 in France....
Reminds me of this Muse video
Unfortunately music video producers are useless at science, he falls through and keeps going! Not only that, the video is much less than 42 minutes long.
And on server-side, it's as secure as anything. Probably more secure, as you get none of the memory issues or buffer overflow issues
Seriously? Have you looked at the CVEs for Java severside anytime recently?

dismiss the case with no ruling... because no one was deemed at fault
I just wonder what outcome you expected given those two statements?
I agree, but I think the reason some people do it is to do with some politicized ideology (usually left-wing) where established norms are broken down for entirely unjustified and selfish reasons.

Not at all, someone has to maintain the legacy systems that pay for the cool, new rewrites.
And keep updating the legacy system when the cool, new rewrite gets scrapped for being way over budget and way under features.
