Wrong - you're completely free to use the non-forked version. Forks are just that - forks. The original, under the original license, still continues to exist.
And it should be the developer's choice as to what they feel is a reasonable compromise - not the user. The user is always free - completely free - to vote with their feet / dollars. If they make something that's closed source that people feel is worth the price, how has anyone's freedom been compromised?
The four laptops losing their previous recommended status are the Microsoft Surface Laptop (128GB and 256GB versions) and Microsoft Surface Book (128GB and 512GB versions). Microsoft is relatively new to the hardware business, and this is the first year CR had enough data to estimate predicted reliability for the company’s laptops.
Microsoft’s estimated breakage rate for its laptops and tablets was higher than most other brands’. The differences were statistically significant, which is why Microsoft doesn’t meet CR’s standards for recommended products. The surveys are conducted annually.
You said "for most purposes you don't need Saturn V levels of thrust." And yet, we got along fine for centuries without any ballistic rockets whatsoever. For most purposes, you don't need rockets, and for most purposes, you don't need artificial satellites. But if you're going to have them, why not stick with the tried and true tech that worked properly on every launch? It's not like we don't still have copies of the original plans on microfiche.
You don't need the source to crete a patch. Just a disassembler and a hex code editor. And patience. Usually lots of patience. But once you find the right place to insert a few NOPs...
No data leaves my devices without my explicit and informed consent.
I hope you don't really believe that. Also, it should read "but we do not sell or share your personally identifiable statistics yet." And the whole point of big data for marketing companies is to turn that "non-identifiable statistics" into identifiable statistics.
If you want to get into that, for most purposes you don't need a rocket. And certainly having both the Saturn 1 and V handy would have made building the space station both quicker and less constrained by weight (as well as being able to lift much larger components into space in one piece). Think of it - a fully functional, manned space station with just one launch, and 5 more to get to where it is today, instead of the first crew in the ISS taking up residence in 2000. This could easily have been done in the mid-70s. The shuttle could only deliver 1/5 the weight to orbit on it's best days - and less if the cargo was constrained by needing to fit into the shuttle bay rather than by weight..
If you're going to start pointing fingers at traitors, take a look at a few past presidents. It's not like all those wars were necessary to the country as a whole, just to special interests.
So her lifespan is probably longer than most women (since most aren't on HRT), and definitely longer than if she had stayed a man. Between the two, she's probably gained a decade - and a decade that will be of the same or better quality than a man 20 years younger because of the reduction of risk of stroke, heart attack, hip fractures, better muscle tone, better, more youthful skin appearance, reduced risk of melanomas, etc.
Finally - a simple pill to extend life span - and it's cheap. Who needs expensive beauty cremes that falsely claim to reduce wrinkles when you can get the real thing? Too bad it's not for non-transsexual XY dudes (or female-to-male transsexuals), just genetic and transsexual women need apply. Guys are stuck with just getting older and pruney, and dying younger. But hey, it's your funeral.
If Oracle wants to kill it off, just give it to some organization that requires all future contributions to be licensed under the GPL without a classpath exception. Say goodbye to development of commercial Java software like the original Minecraft.
The description kind of rubs it in that US rocket capabilities are seriously lacking compared to 50 years ago. "generating 860,000 pounds of thrust"? The Saturn V generated 6.5 million (1967) to 7.8 million (Apollo 15 - 1971).
No, I expect the speech recognition to recognize the word "hotel", and when it doesn't recognize the word "Lagavegur," to offer a list of options and locations, starting with the closest hotel that sounds like it begins with the sound "la".. His mistake wouldn't have happened with a voice recognition system.
Wom't work, A pathological fear of disobedience extends far beyond the immediate subject of their fear. Better to find people who are going to die of terminal disease anyway. Give their kids $1 million if they succeed in their mission. That should motivate them a bit.
Before we go that far, almost everyone here needs to get rid of the memories of tubgirl and goatse.cx. And the h - o - s - t - s - - f - i - l - e guy. How about that first?
Push buttons are so 20th century. What happened to just speaking "take me to the store?" We can talk to so many of our cheap gadgets, why can't we do so in a very expensive one?
No more stupid than the folks who solved serialization back in the 60s using 0x1c, 0x1d, ox1e, and 0x1f to store multiple databases each with their own tables in a single file. And certainly not stupid enough to throw out a solution that was simple and worked for a piece of shit just because it's trendy.
Arbitrary data serialization was solved back before the PC was invented. See the following ASCII control codes
0x1c - FS - File separator The file separator FS is an interesting control code, as it gives us insight in the way that computer technology was organized in the sixties. We are now used to random access media like RAM and magnetic disks, but when the ASCII standard was defined, most data was serial. I am not only talking about serial communications, but also about serial storage like punch cards, paper tape and magnetic tapes. In such a situation it is clearly efficient to have a single control code to signal the separation of two files. The FS was defined for this purpose.
0x1d - GS - Group separator Data storage was one of the main reasons for some control codes to get in the ASCII definition. Databases are most of the time setup with tables, containing records. All records in one table have the same type, but records of different tables can be different. The group separator GS is defined to separate tables in a serial data storage system. Note that the word table wasn't used at that moment and the ASCII people called it a group.
0x1e - RS - Record separator Within a group (or table) the records are separated with RS or record separator.
0x1f - US - Unit separator The smallest data items to be stored in a database are called units in the ASCII definition. We would call them field now. The unit separator separates these fields in a serial data storage environment.
If any of these control characters appear in your data, escape them as you serialize the data, the same as in c. It's not that complicated, and it works well with multiple databases, each with their own collection of tables, and each individual table having its own set of records, and each record having its own set of fields.
Then just send them as one big binary blob with a list of offsets, sizes, and file names to the beginning of each separate file as a virtual header using a tab between each offset, size, and file name, followed by a cr. Be a hell of a lot more compact, and extraction of an individual file is as simple as an lseek to the offset, read the size and filename and read(size) number of bytes. Modify as needed, and you can store ANYTHING pretty much in its original form. XML is not needed. Same as emojis. The world would be a better place if neither existed.
Go look at the ascii table. You have 4 control characters that are used expressly for schemes to transmitting data that can be composed of fields of variable length (FS - 0x1c - the File Separator, GS - 0x0d - the group separator, RS -0x1e the record separator, and US - 0x1f - the unit separator. You can construct tables constructed of variable or fixed length units ended with US (today we'd all them fields). Each row of fields would be ended with an RS - the record separator. A table or collection of rows would be ended with GS - the group separator. And you can stuff multiple "tables" into one "file", delimited with the FS.
There's no reason why multiple "files" can't be stored in a single physical file, so you could have multiple databases, each with multiple tables, that you can write to a single stream when you want to serialize, and read from a single stream when you want to unserialize.
You can also adopt a "standard" that makes the first row of every table the field names, and the second row the data types.
Or whatever else you want. This has been around since 7-bit ASCII and it worked just fine. Or you could just store a bunch of text files (such as email) linearly, separated by whichever control character you wanted. It's the same situation as xml - you still have to define your data format - but there's a lot less tag soup.
Also, if you use fixed-width units or fields, it's trivial to do a bsearch to find an individual row in a "table" if it's sorted on that field. Unlike Microsoft's "binary xml."
No, what happened was cultural change that allowed different ideas to propagate. It isn't working in the US because the American culture is dysfunctional, a culture where for vast numbers of people tradition carries more weight than reality. Has nothing to do with specialized schooling or tax exemptions or "parental rights" - other countries have all three and yet Americans are known the world over to be the suckers for snake oil.

The ship is considered a war grave and protected by various country-specific laws. Unfortunately, "scavengers ain't got no respect."

Nope. Estrogen increases muscle mass and tone, even without exercise. The effects are enhanced with exercise, and can be quite striking. Also increases lifespan..
So her lifespan is probably longer than most women (since most aren't on HRT), and definitely longer than if she had stayed a man. Between the two, she's probably gained a decade - and a decade that will be of the same or better quality than a man 20 years younger because of the reduction of risk of stroke, heart attack, hip fractures, better muscle tone, better, more youthful skin appearance, reduced risk of melanomas, etc.

How is this "progress?"
No, I expect the speech recognition to recognize the word "hotel", and when it doesn't recognize the word "Lagavegur," to offer a list of options and locations, starting with the closest hotel that sounds like it begins with the sound "la"..

This problem was solved in the 60s. See my comments here and here.

Depends on the problem to be solved. There's no such thing as a one size fits all solution, unless it's "one size fits all - badly"
