I've been wrapping commands for PuTTY and using PoshSSH. A native implementation would be sweet. I wonder how big a hassle it will be to convert my putty stuff for it.
Not me? Come to think of it, wasn't the exportation of encryption restricted under munitions export rules? The government may have inadvertently defined it in a way that places it under the 2nd amendment.
Ah, but mankind's future would no longer be dependent upon procreation. In other words, a reason that will go away. The emotional reasons are already tempered by socioeconomic conditions, everything from social welfare programs to population density.
More important is this: All human activity takes place in the context of mortality. Remove that, and everything changes. Just consider for a moment how many aspects of human behavior are contingent on the fact that we get old and die? How many concepts, behaviors, institutions, etc., are secondary effects of those aspects?
Don't underestimate the depth of the shock such a discovery would have. It would change the context of all human activity on the most fundamental level.
Socio-Economic development reduces birth rates and delays the age at which couples have children. If you have all the time in the world, and no practical need for children, why bother? Instead of pushing it back until you're in your late 30's, why not wait until you're 300?
You don't need offspring to care for you in your old age, you don't need their labor, you don't need to ensure your bloodline, so there's no pressure.
Is it then possible age reversal could reverse population growth?
Most interesting is that in a developed nation, two children. In a developing nation, five. It's unusual for one person to do both, but the norm in general. The more developed a nation, the lower it's birthrates.
Which leads to the question: If mortality wasn't an issue, would people have any children? Economic development removes the need for their labor on the family farm, low infant mortality removes the need to 'shotgun' one's progeny to ensure some survive to adulthood, old age/retirement systems remove the need to have children to take care of you in your twilight. Might functional immortality remove the pressure to leave a genetic 'legacy', eliminating the last reason to have children?
How about this? Give it to anyone who wants it, for 'free', on the condition that they suit up and move offworld.
Or, we could wait and see how it actually affects birth rates. It's quite possible they would crash hard if mortality were no longer a serious concern.
The day I knew was when I brought home my first ever sound card, and there was no support for it (or any IIRC). I left my dad a message at his office that he was coming home to a DOS machine. He wasn't happy.
Which, when combined with the lack of support for sound/game cards, is why I wiped it from my family computer. Dad was not happy about that.
Oh, and extenders like DOS/4GW didn't work either. Dad was under the false impression that our computer's primary purpose was something other than video games. Poor guy.
before. There was that whole Boston Marathon issue not long ago.
But I don't see where they get off arresting someone for driving without a license when they weren't driving. Perhaps that's why his car was "abandoned".
In 1996-7 I was working at Electronics Boutique. Our POS machines were Win95 based, but so locked down that the only program it ran was the POS stuff. No Word, no browser, no nuthin.
I wonder when it was that people forgot such basic security principles.
It's those damn UFOs that show up and start shooting randomly. Not only do they break larger asteroids down to smaller, harder to hit, harder to avoid chunks; it's far too easy to get so wrapped up in trying to shoot them down that you get smashed by the asteroids.
And don't even get me started on the little ones! Those f'ers aim!

doesn't really make sense, so I'm okay with that bit.

give skeleton keys to the government.
I think I'm reasonably mature now. Just turned 38.
Or is it?

Oh, well that makes me feel better. Thanks!
But I'm not a developer, I'm a jack-of-all-trades in a small IT department for a rather large Real Estate company.
is for Windows or Office, Visual Studio Community. Plus, I'm not that good so I rely heavily on intellisense.
Did you sudo that? You could be about to lose your changes!!
