Imagine a world where pigs not only fly, but miraculously slice themselves into bacon before landing in the frying pan without a drop of oil splashing anywhere!
No robots ain't patching my servers, not nohow, no siree!
Blacks in large numbers simply cannot be peaceful and civil, not anyplace in the world.
However, there is a slight lack of data behind this assertion. The murder rate per thousand in West Africa (which has almost exclusively black people) is similar to Northern Europe (excluding where certain militant Islamist groups are on the rampage in both regions).
The murder rate in both North and South America is roughly ten times higher.
As many others have observed before me: Guns don't kill people: Americans kill people.
The only way Google can make a browser that won't run on XP or Vista is to do something stupid and/or deliberately break something so that it doesn't work.
That is their normal practice.
Is there a reason other than megalomania why Google should want to force users to one option or another?
Cell towers are mostly owned by independents, who provide a service to all carriers from the same tower
You can buy handsets on Ebay or from Carphone whorehouse and use them on any network you like by changing the SIM card.
The carriers are the same bunch of scum in all European countries anyway.
The European regulator may be better than the UK one, but that is mostly because:
1) The UK regulator is so useless, even a dead shrimp would be more effective.
2) The fact that there even is a regulator is evidence that the legal system doesn't work.
Sure peripheral vision may not allow you to tell a bird from a bat, but...
Experienced, competent drivers rely on peripheral vision to accurately (within about 5km/h) gauge their speed, avoiding the need to look at the speedometer.
Remove peripheral vision and you can expect a lot of speeding tickets.
The ones that had a child mortality rate around 50%
I would not dispute this.
and lived to, maybe, their mid thirties.
Not true - they lived far longer than the generations that lived after the wide spread use of coal fires and tobacco.
Rumours of life being "nasty, brutish and short" were not based on facts/hunter gatherer lifestyle. They were much influenced by poor interpretation of the evidence.
So WTF is the word for the ?????'s that invented auto-maximising? I mean, seriously, you are comparing two documents, side by side (or cutting and pasting) - then one of them touches the edge of the screen, and BANG you have only one!
There has to be NO possible use case for this feature other than to make the user select an alternative UI!
We dont want 3 different interfaces. We want ONE THAT WORKS.
"Responsive" may work on a screen somewhere, but it sure is not a Samsung one, or a Cyanogen one - I have tables and phones.
I dont think there is much wrong with LXDE, I find Mate is quite to my taste - but my BT modem interface is crap with both (and Gnome 3/Unity - but I find them painful anyway).
I had a blog that Google made me convert to "responsive" but I was then unable to read it myself, so I abandoned it.
If you don't know how to adjust resolution settings in your phone, then hand in your nerd card now
Same if you can't actually tell the difference when using VR.
However, if you cant tell the difference when not using your normal glasses and not doing VR, this is probably a big win.
FTFY. Only OpenBSD supports Sparc64 on modern Sparc64 - ie with T-series processors. And even that does not support the hardware crypto kit (cos Oracle wont let it).
Oracle need to think again FAST! OpenBSD on the new hardware could be a world beater for serving secure websites (something the world actually needs AND wants). However, they are currently engaged in supporting it in the Ellison traditional manner - with multiple stabs in the back!
World domination right on schedule
More like world domination has gone of the rails
OpenBSD is the only OS apart from Solaris to support Sun/Oracle Logical Domains (LDOMs), and the OpenBSD support is extremely limited - for example I/O is restricted to the primary Domain - as there is no way to create an "I/O" domain in OpenBSD.
If there is going to be new silicon and no new Solaris, then presumably Oracle will have to release some of their hardware documentation - and possibly fund some OSS developers!
Currently, FreeBSD and Linux no longer support hosting LDOMs at all, and support as a guest O/S is very limited.
Disclaimer: I have used OpenBSD on Sparc64 since the Sparc64 architecture has existed, while consistently hating Oracle's guts.

No, thought not.

Not often you hear "Oracle" and "effectively" in the same sentence!
For all else, PostgreSQl is a better choice.
Corn in the UK means "grain" - ie rye, barley, wheat. Maize does not grow here.
I would not dispute this.

Sometimes kerning can go too far. One pixel is not a very big hamming distance!
Because if I don't Ryanair will charge me £50 to print it at the checkin desk!
Are those GBP or Angstrom units? WTF?

But its way more fun to take a chain saw to a pile of LTO tapes!
Or you could use tape. You can recover what you want, and its cheap.

I have often wondered why people drink something that publicly admits to being a load of bull!
You obviously have not tried our 3D printed turnips!
I would, but it does not appear to be supported on any OS that I use.

Mod parent +1: relevant
Bear in mind that, prior to 1940, "the computor" was, in fact, a person!
Especially when the Germans were doing it in 1941 with much bigger drones!
