DOSbox itself states that you should never use it for non-gaming DOS applications. It can go wrong at any random time for any nondeterministic reason. This example from the official forums tells you why. DOSbox is for games, just use it for games. "We do not care one iota about your database app" is a direct quote from a developer.
Cheap energy encourages wasteful usage. Americans don't care what it costs to power their 50 inch TVs, they'll pollute the environment if that's what it takes. Energy should be expensive, that's what it takes to make people use less. Cheap energy is a problem, not a solution.
Well that's great for your side, as an America-hating liberal, the sooner America falls apart the better. You don't want a repairman in office, you want a demolition expert. Moreover ISIS isn't even that anti-American. They're more anti-Shiite than anything. Education: it's what you lack in your spittle-flecked invective.
Did we suddenly enter Bizarro World? Where is the place where the Left, of all people, suddenly becomes pro-Constitution? It's like conservatives suddenly falling in love with Karl Marx, it doesn't make any sense at all. The First Amendment has to go because the only people who use its defense are racists. The Second needs to go as well, obviously, we see this every day. The Fourth and the Fifth as well, these just help racists keep their positions. Sadly, I am not making any of this up nor exaggerating. The US Constitution is invalid because black people didn't write it. Enemies of the country indeed. The hatred is all on the Left.
This is founded on a false premise: that these eight measurements must be identical for humans to look alike. This is false. I have seen people who look alike, it's weird. Moreover I don't think any of them have identical spaces between eyes, etc.
What I don't get is how educated scientists can come up with such wrongheaded premises to start with. These people are smart, how do they keep on doing this? What happened to the Republic of Rationalia?
Who the hell are you to decide what's right and wrong for Turkey? That's nobody's business but the Turks. They'll decide for themselves what they want to have, and if Islam is what they want then that's what they get. Erdogan was elected democratically.
You're actually supporting a military coup over a democratic leader. Your intellectual process divided by zero at some point and now you're generating nonsensical conclusions.
I had one accidentally once and it didn't taste anything like meat. Besides, being a vegetarian is all about being more evolved than other humans and telling us off for being cruel monsters. It is very satisfying. If you're going to be a veggie then why even eat fake meat? It takes away from your moral superiority.
Someone is currently in prison for insulting him. I don't call that a figurehead. Put the king to death and establish a republic, join the 20th century for God's sake.
The US space program is essentially a gigantic playtoy for white males. It inspires jingoism, nationalism, white supremacy, and other negative outcomes. The African-American community does not benefit in any way from money wasted on the space program. Spending on social programs is never wasted as it goes directly to the people who need it most. Mondale was right. Black lives matter.
Today I learned that the Netherlands still has a King. WTF? How do they act all smug and superior to everyone, and they still have a 19th century concept that was the contemporary of Jim Crow?
The hilarious part is that feminism, part and parcel of the Far Left, created this rape accusation monster to be let loose on conservatives. Just like The Modern Prometheus it turned on its creators. Central to the rape accusation epidemic is that women's words must never be questioned and that men are always wrong, no matter what. Even if proven innocent later (not found "not guilty", innocent is something completely different) a mere accusation is enough to destroy lives. The Left can hardly complain about its hero Assange being taken down by the very methods it pioneered.
They tried having two systems, the workers wouldn't use them correctly because it was too much of a pain in the ass for them. Then, the managers bitched because they had to use a separate system to view the production statistics. Nobody liked it and the IT department was forced to comply. Cheering was heard as the second air-gapped systems were eliminated and the executives celebrated the cost-cutting with a round of bonuses for virtuous behavior.
I recently quit using Firefox after 2-3 years using it full time as my primary browser. Why? It wasn't because of this Rust or whatever. It was because Firefox was slow as hell and the plugins were spotty and would stop working for no reason. Firefox was intended as a bare-bones browser, if you want extra functionality then use plugins. Fine, I get it. But when FF constantly changes, it breaks the plugins and they stop working.
I use FF for real, when I need plugins to work then I need them to work, right then. No futzing around or filing bug reports on the developer's page. Or waiting a month or two for a new version to come out. Fuck that noise. After that happened a few times, I still kept Firefox because I don't like changing things for no reason. After it kept happening, I started looking for alternatives. After a plugin that I really need stopped working on my Firefox (but apparently nobody else's) that was the last straw. Buh-bye Firefox.
I'm using Vivaldi now and it's surprising that I haven't had any plugin issues or web page incompatibilities. Perhaps because it's just a re-skin of Chrome. Anyway, I'm finished with Firefox for this lifetime. It's still installed on my machine but I won't be installing it on the next box I buy. Enjoy your descent into irrelevance and boutique browser status. Although I suspect Slashdot will continue to cover every brain fart that comes out of Mozilla even after Firefox goes below 1% market share.
Top-posting WAS wrong. Do you seriously not understand that different eras have different standards?
The only reason top-posting is accepted today is because Microsoft Outlook defaulted to top-posting on replies, because someone at Microsoft had never heard of Usenet. So many of Microsoft's mistakes had been done before and MS just repeated them. Plus they added many of their own...auto-executing email attachments WTF. I remember when the idea you could get a virus by email was laughable.
Confirmation bias. How often do you see stories in the mainstream media that paint the Republicans in a good light? After only seeing negative stories for a few decades, you come around to a biased point of view. It's like how nobody reports the virtuous deeds of Muslims, but you slice one clitoris off and the whole world freaks out. Likewise with African-Americans, the only media reports about them are when they commit crimes. This sort of thing works, sadly.
Count yourself lucky you are not exposed to the vast toxic cultural wasteland that is American TV shows. You should send Netflix a cheque of gratitude, just for saving your country from having to watch the horrid white supremacy-supporting bullshit the US media turns out.
Better yet, forbid layoffs. This ensures jobs will always be available and in no way will ever backfire. Then, since the corrupt corporate executives will always try to get around your laws, replace them with pro-government supporters. This will ensure the company will continue prosperity well into the future and will not at all result in your country turning into Venezuela. Nope, never happen.
Well, that was one stupid biologist then. Bats don't eat what's around their nest. They form a swarm and fly dozens of miles away and then start eating. After the night is done, they fly back and go to sleep during the day. In fact, I question if that biologist knew anything about bats at all. This smells like a made-up story to sell the false line "DURR RURAL PEOPLE R STUPID". What does "rot them out" mean, anyway? Shove rotting lettuce down the bat cave or something? I think the stupidity is all on the other side of the fence.
One thing I do not miss (besides being woken up by the pager) is having my knowledge obsoleted and being forced to learn new things. Oh, but you're supposed to never stop learning, stay young, blah blah blah. Bullshit, that's a bunch of pro-corporate propaganda. Now, I learn something...it sticks. 5 years later, I still know the thing. In fact, after 5 years I'm probably quite good at it. I will stay quite good at it until it changes (slowly or not at all) or I die. Sure, new laws and regulations come along every so often and they must be mastered, but it is nothing like IT. I like this way much better than becoming an expert and then having to start all over at square 1.
Consensual!?! Are you mad?! There can not be a "consensual" relationship between a boss and a woman serving under him. ESPECIALLY when that boss is as high as you can go, the President of the United States. The woman feels intimidated and can't say no to a man like that for fear of punishment. It's a textbook case of rape. Lewinsky would have been fired had she refused Clinton's sexual advances. The only reason he wasn't charged with rape is because he's a Democrat. Any Republican would be charged with the same, because that's precisely what it is - rape.
My theory: journalists are too stupid to report foreign affairs properly. We already saw how they were led around by the nose by Obama's staff for years, and reported government-approved narratives instead of facts. They are just deeply ignorant people who have no business being in the jobs they're in. Sad but true.
You're against racism...and you hate people based on race. Grandpa, it's time for your medication, then time for bed. You're confused, and you're shouting incoherently and bothering the nice people again.
If Hillary Clinton owned this company instead of Elizabeth Holmes, would there have been any penalty? How can we say the regulatory system works when it gets applied differently according to how powerful you are? CMS is US government bureaucracy for sure. Subject to all the same political forces as the FBI.
What we have here is a textbook case of Psychological Projection. So, America is a "prison-police-industrial complex"? Then grab your rifles and overthrow it! LOL yeah right you ain't gonna do that and you know it. You hate the Americans with rifles. PS you people hate the Constitution as well, why are you criticizing the officers who failed to enforce it? Black people didn't write it so the entire document is invalid. Chewbacca defense.
