Even if I grant your couple of [citation needed] deaths, I wasn't talking about typical low-level friction (and your definition of any death of any soldier anywhere as a "war" is just plain stupid). I specifically said "WWIII", which is well known by everyone, apparently except you, to mean a major, probably nuclear, war amongst superpowers.
We are not now, and have never been, fighting WWIII. Even the Cold War, which had plenty of dead soldiers on all sides, was not WWIII.
The people giving advice on Korea have been fucking it up for 60-ish years, and REALLY fucking it up for 25 resulting in a viable nuclear program. So I wouldn't listen to them either.
Well, at least they haven't started WWIII over the issue up until now.
Maybe without all those advisers, Trump will be able to change that.
How can they conclude that these glacier measurements are changing because of rising temperatures, when it's just as likely that it's due to natural periodic fluctuations in the melting point temperature of ice, or else due to natural expansion and contraction of all the rocks forming the island?
They made a movie a long time ago that explored what could happen if the AI controlling the US missiles took the initiative to directly talk to the AI controlling the Russian missiles. (Hint: it didn't turn out well for those pesky humans.)
I'm going to be generous and—rather than ask for a citation I know doesn't exist—assume that you were trying to be funny.
He may be alluding to the first transatlantic cable (1850s), where they didn't fully understand electromagnetic signal propagation, and they damaged the cable by overdriving it with high voltage in an attempt to improve reception. Before it completely failed, the bandwidth became so low that it took a whole day to send a single short message.
Any individual bit sent was much shorter, of course, but the signal-to-noise ratio was so bad that it took a long time to decipher each bit. So in practical terms, it wasn't really anywhere close to the speed of light.
Isn't capitalism grand! You stubble and you failed!
Capitalism doesn't apply here; Intel is too big to fail.
If it ever stumbled so bad that it was put at risk of being bought up by some Chinese company, the US government would step in and kibosh that plan in a heartbeat, using a taxpayer-funded bailout if necessary.
There's nothing like seeing it directly with your eyes.
True, but many if not most airplane windows are so scratched up and abraded that you can't really make out much of what's out there anyway. A good video image could be an improvement, especially if they let you choose the direction of view and zoom in.
Crucially, the findings suggest that a rapid decline in fossil fuel demand is no longer dependent on stronger policies and actions from governments around the world.
This dangerous trend can and will be stopped: We will use a combination of tariffs, executive orders and obscure WWII-era federal statutes to nationalize the energy sector and stamp out this "change" nonsense, ensuring that fossil fuel jobs in key voting districts will endure for decades to come!
These days, only people with ASIC rigs living next to a hydroelectric power station have any chance of mining an Ivy League-class degree. The rest of us with GPU cards and PCs have little hope of scratching out much more than an associate's degree from the local community college.
When two heavyweight objects like Emacs and systemd merge in this manner, we should be able to detect the resulting gravitational waves. Expecting to see results soon from LIGO.
I openly admit that I voted for Trump because I didn't want to see the blatant corruption get into office.
I don't understand what is wrong with you people. This country has usually been run by corrupt politicians for almost 250 years, and things usually worked out.
What we haven't done until now is elect obvious mentally unstable megalomaniac sociopaths (who are also corrupt, BTW); that was left for third world countries to deal with. Why you could even begin to think that this was preferable to run-of-the-mill corruption is beyond me.
Not so true. It needs to reboot after kernel updates and a few other obscure cases. That's more like once every 2 or 3 weeks.
But more importantly, with Linux, it's just a normal reboot. With WIndows, they put you in a special update purgatory for some unpredictable amount of time both before and after the reboot, possibly well over an hour: "Windows is doing updates XX% done. Do not turn off your PC".
It's frigging 2018, and they've never figured out how to fix this despite pocketing countless $Billions peddling this OS. WTF?
This problem is almost fixed: Without the albatross of net neutrality hanging on their shoulders, the ISPs have been freed up to focus like a laser on customer satisfaction. In a few short months, your ISP will be pampering you like royalty!
Spoiler alert: Most of the cast gets away on a re-floated pirate ship, buoyed by air pumped in from Captain Nemo's submarine. Sadly, the captain himself meets his demise, still manning the air pumps as his submarine is destroyed by the volcanic eruption.
I can't remember the last time that I actually typed in an entire word on my phone that wasn't a proper name. Instead, I always use a mixture of: swiping, predictive words above the keyboard, or voice dictation, all of which insert properly spelled words anyway. I'm not sure that a broken spell checker would ever make a difference to me.
Serious developers use the switches and LEDs that are right there on the front panel. Why would you pay for all that hardware if you didn't intend to use it?

Simply redefining words to mean anything you want is not a valid way to make a point.
When North Korean re-joins with the south, taking away a huge potential problem for much of the world - who will you *thank*?
Kenny Rogers had a #1 hit in 1978 with a song that could provide you with some valuable and much needed advice.

Good job!
You found two. Now you only need a few thousand more.
OK then, it sounds like you can provide the stack of peer-reviewed papers that Pruitt is being directed to cough up. Links?

According to my definition of a rocky planet, Pluto needs:
- a round shape
- a crust
- a hot core or a previously hot core
Pluto passes all three requirements, therefore it's a planet.
Questions?
Yes: So you're saying that the earth's moon is also a planet?

Ubuntu wants to update 1-2 times a week
True enough.
, and always wants to reboot after.
Not so true. It needs to reboot after kernel updates and a few other obscure cases. That's more like once every 2 or 3 weeks.
But more importantly, with Linux, it's just a normal reboot. With WIndows, they put you in a special update purgatory for some unpredictable amount of time both before and after the reboot, possibly well over an hour: "Windows is doing updates XX% done. Do not turn off your PC".

On a serious note: do you really want a scripting language "executing potentially dangerous operations"?
You mean like:
/bin/sh
#!
rm -rf /
Okay, I get it, no throwaway items. But what about q-tips?
Are we supposed to reuse them? Or will they start making them of bamboo?
Genuine Q-tips are made with paper shafts, not plastic.
weed killer != pesticide. Weed killer is designed to kill plants with a preference hopefully for weeds. Pesticide is designed to kill bugs.
Sorry, you're wrong. From dictionary.com:
pesticide
noun
a chemical preparation for destroying plant, fungal, or animal pests.
The word you wanted was insecticide.

too.
It blows up real good!
Spoiler alert: Most of the cast gets away on a re-floated pirate ship, buoyed by air pumped in from Captain Nemo's submarine. Sadly, the captain himself meets his demise, still manning the air pumps as his submarine is destroyed by the volcanic eruption.
So after the latest patches for speculative execution vulnerabilities, you'll end up with performance about the same as you used to have.
