Wow, careful there Linus. Forgot all about the Copy On Write bug that you fixed in the Linux kernel in 2005, but which you then unfixed, declared "theoretical" and which was then ignored for over a decade until it hit the fan in 2016?
This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once (badly) by me eleven years ago [] but that was then undone due to problems on s390 [W]hat used a purely theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger.
So you went from a digital watch, which is a pretty neat idea, to a mechanical watch?
Isn't that like a downgrade?
From a strict technological standpoint: yes. But having a small mechanical machine on your wrist that harvests energy from your movements to keep time is just so much more fun than something electronic. And I still consider it a better timepiece than a smart watch because the time is always visible.
Yeah - and you don't really need the exact time. Ever. Because when you have a mechanical watch, the whole world will wait for you because you are so special.
Apple's share of the smart watch market fell precipitously from 70% a few years go to 17% today, and still falling fast.
But Apple's sales are up in a market that Apple created. Oh, and that market includes $20 fitness bands from China. Like the ones that boost Xiaaomi's market share. Still aren't feeling dumb? That's because you are sooooo dumb.
And Apple, which once owned 100% of the smart watch category, now has a mere 17% of the segment and looks likely to shrink further.
And again you prove to be a complete and utter idiot, who can't even remember babbling endlessly about how the Apple Watch came out over a year after the Samsung Galaxy Gear, which was much better anyway. A truly tragic and hilariously funny case of brain damage on your side. And the size of your brain is the only thing shrinking.
While it's not a live satellite feed, obviously, it's usually good enough for getting a feel for your actual destination.
So-called alternatives to Street View are sorely lacking... sometimes even completely missing out on large sections of roads in even very major cities, especially the side roads, but sometimes even many blocks of a so-called main road in that area as well.
So what you are saying is that satellite view - when from Google - is good enough as a replacement for Street View - but not when it it comes from another Map service.
OpenStreetMap is not a serious competitor to Google Maps. Nobody is, last I checked.
Three words:
Terrestrial virtual presence.
Knowing what a place actually looks like from the ground is often just as useful as knowing where it is on a map. Otherwise, regardless of what other mapping system a person is using, they are just going to go check on Google Maps for its Street View anyways... and at that point, one might as well just do everything right there.
Yeah, that's fine and dandy - when it is even available and not completely out of date.
Now - where did that sea level rise come from? Natural or man-made processes (as claimed in the title of the article)? Think long and hard before you answer...
What's most funny is that the biggest factor isn't sea-level rise, or thermal expansion, or even subsidence. Want to know why the Miami flooding was so bad the past few years? Corrupt local government not keeping the storm drains cleaned out. Parking lot at work used to flood up to 2 or 3 feet deep on a single day of heavy rain.
So how come Miami also floods on sunny days, no rain, no storm? Just the KingTide.
The ironic thing about your statement is, that those who scream "CLIMATE DENIER!" the loudest tend to be the same ones who deny the dust bowl was the hottest time we ever had,
That's exactly right - and contrast it to "The IT Crowd", which seems to be beloved by geeks/nerds, because it seems to laugh WITH us (and at management)
Funny, because Trenneman is almost exactly like Howard, Moss is like Raj with a hint of Sheldon, and Jen is like Penny. But that's okay, because it is making fun of completely overblown caricatures of management, topped by the completely psychotic Reynholm.
It's always a pleasure to see whataboutism deployed for its original purpose, distracting from the failures of socialism.
You know as much about whataboutism as about Socialism as about just about anything you can't stop talking about - if you knew how to do an image search the Dunning-Kruger-effect, you'd find your face.
And this is a prime example of the Apple mentality right here.
Pointing our that your argument is totally bogus? Yeah, Apple users have to do that a lot, but it's totally due to the idiots they have to argue with. And his "you can't link to apps on the App Store" shit is as stupid as it gets.
Slashdot Mirror
...I'm sure all of Trump's detractors will agree that he has done the right thing and it's about time.
Won't they?
He did? How exactly? There are already laws against that! Why do you think the Mueller probe is on?

If you look at an old interview of Trump, you see a man far more coherent:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
"After we destroyed the statues, we had appraisals done, and they weren't worth very much" - Oh, Donny.
Alternative link for Canadians and Brits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
And if thats TLDW for you, at least watch from 14:54 to see how Trump got his Trade with China expert.

Apple cultists are so special
Dumb people doubling down on their stupidity are so "special". Do go on, even the other Apple Haters are laughing their heads off over your stupidity.
And Apple, which once owned 100% of the smart watch category, now has a mere 17% of the segment and looks likely to shrink further.
And again you prove to be a complete and utter idiot, who can't even remember babbling endlessly about how the Apple Watch came out over a year after the Samsung Galaxy Gear, which was much better anyway.

The real news is, Xiaomi came out of nowhere and pulled up within 2% of Apple.
They come out of China, and have been selling Smartwatches for years. Which comes to the surprise only of a complete idiot.
Coca-Cola Remains Best-Selling Soft Drink With 180 Billion Beverages Last Quarter
This isn't news. Pretending otherwise insults us both.
Well, when the usual headline was "Coca-Cola is a complete failure", then yes, it would be news. Pretending otherwise only insults yourself.
Ya with the special extended jobs character set.
It's called Unicode, it's a standard and supported by all websites that matter.
Hey, don*t blame me for you being stupid, and for me having to point it out to you, because you are obviously too stupid to notice.
While it's not a live satellite feed, obviously, it's usually good enough for getting a feel for your actual destination.

since the mid 90s
PS: cherry picking duly noted.
Take a look at the four figures. If you cannot spot a trend down since the mid 90s - you're either completely blind or incompetent.
That coming from the dude who keeps seeing downward trends in the fucking temperature records. Get your eyesight checked, you blind moonbat.

Yeah, that's fine and dandy - when it is even available and not completely out of date.
Yes, it is. At least since 1990.
So where is "the trend"? There is no single mention of a trend on that page.
Not to mention that total accumulated cyclone energy is on a decided downtrend, historically.
No, it isn't.

Who is "we"?
Because the highest mountain is only 160 ft above sea level ?
*squint*
Because Hollywood people know shit about geography.
As opposed to religious people?
Oooh, I forgot it also makes fun of the "normal" people who don't know how to turn on a computer!
