I'll still use vim under cygwin for most of what I do, with Notepad++ in a few key spots. But it'll be nice to have some extra functionality out there by default on machines that I haven't been allowed to put anything on.
Blockchain uses computer code to record every step of a transaction and delivery in a permanent digital ledger, providing transparency
Strange - I've been familiar with how blockchain technology works since 2012, and that doesn't sound like blockchain technology to me. Maybe they mean that they have developed some sort of custom enhancement? Couldn't they just record all this in their own database? Being light on specifics it's hard to see how blockchain technology is helping them at all here, unless it's to raise their stock price by throwing around the latest technology buzzwords without knowing what they mean.
Links would be given to individuals to access information to which they alone had been granted the legal right to access. No such right had been bestowed on the accused who circumvented the "security,"
The law should never treat security by obscurity as "security." Punishing somebody because somebody else was stupid is beyond wrong.
For a little more than the price of two Apple pencil styluses, I can get two Amazon Fire tablets, which would be so much more useful for me and my family.
Can we please not randomly replace phrases with TLAs, or at least if we do, can we please not use TLAs that have well-known already used meanings? How would it be if we abbreviated something new to "HIV"?
It wasn't a Bitcoin transaction. It's basically a Bitcoin bank/exchange. A bunch of people deposit, they have an account with the exchange that has a certain balance, they can exchange with other users on the exchange and then withdraw.
I never understood why US restaurants gave straws with glasses or cups. If it's not clean enough to drink from, you shouldn't be drinking from it. If it's clean, you don't need a straw.
Basically you're just a meddling judgmental busybody.
I'm sure. Much like the alleged "social contract" everybody is a part of that gives the government the right to do whatever it wants to us and to the rest of the world in our name.
I'm a lot more content with the alleged agreement over my $20 phone than that one.
I bought a Verizon prepaid phone last year and it had a sticker that said it was locked to Verizon for a year "to justify the low subsidized cost of the phone" or something like that. Is this expanding from prepaid phones to all of their phones, or was this already true for all of their phones?
I think I've actually demonstrated that I have the hang of it pretty well, to tell you the truth, and I'm a good data point against the idea that caffeine reduces fertility.
I never had 3. Well, only for about 9 minutes or so, and then his twin was born.
And then I had 4, and what the heck, why not keep going at that point?
Back to the original topic some of my favorite memories a few years back were me and the six oldest dogpiling onto the couch Saturday mornings to watch cartoons I'd selected and downloaded. I still run us a playlist on Saturday mornings but the oldest kids are too big for us to fit on one couch together any more, which is a bit sad.
the smallest time unit which is LARGER than a nanosecond... For comparison, a nanosecond is 1/1,000,000,000 of a second, making a Flick roughly 1.41723356 nanoseconds long
I'm confused - why is a flick 1.41723356 ns and not 1.3 ns or 1.41723354 ns? Does this have to do with time being quantized and Planck time? I thought planck time was on a scale much smaller than nanoseconds, but I'm possibly remembering wrong.
I don't believe in the government trying to punish people for abortion
Then you're not pro-life.
I believe a fetus is an unborn human being and abortion is murder in most or all circumstances.
And I believe the appropriate way to handle crime is to force the perpetrator to make restitution to the victim or, in the case of murder, the victim's heirs.
And in this case the perpetrator is the heir, so what are you going to do?
Besides, I can't imagine anything worse to do to a person than to kill their child. The crime is its own punishment. No other is necessary.
you would rather just see paupers begging street side, the masses of old poor dying from malnutrition and exposure, education only for those who can "afford"
No, I sincerely think the government is the biggest causer of all those problems and I want to follow the pareto principle to help those people.
I'm pro-life and anti-government. I don't believe in the government trying to punish people for abortion, and I don't believe in the government stealing from some people to give to others.

Not if they are the only people mining their chain.

I keep looking at this thinking that they should call it the Windows 2018-04-10 update.

Me, too. It is absolutely ridiculous that solar noon in my area is after 1:30 P.M.
That said, staying on Daylight time would still be an improvement over what we have today.

Most drinks are refrigerated anyway -- putting ice in them is wasteful anyway and dilutes the taste.
Waste is when you do something with your property that you don't like - not when somebody else does something with their property that you don't like.

There's no contract with prepaid phones.

Why not keep going? Over-population for one. Buy congratulations on being part of the problem that will give your kids' generation a shitty life.

I got some good anger management therapy several years back. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.
I'm a father of 8 and have gotten a lot of good use out of Plex. I also use VLC with playlists a lot.

Force from who, the government? This is the usual double-think that right-libertarians find themselves falling into.
No, it's just that you haven't investigated the issue enough to find out where libertarians think the force should come from.
