One single Chinese microblogger with a tin foil hat advances crackpot theory and actual Chinese official can't be bothered to even talk about, and it makes front page of Slashdot?
It's also a signal that she'll not obstruct Brexit, despite her own personal feelings on the issue. I wish us Americans had politicians half as honorable (honourable?).
Oh geez, come off your high horse. I knew who David Duke was, but purely as a matter of trivia. His service in the house was without note; his run for president brief. His impact on national politics was virtually nil, save for his contribution to the narrative that the GOP is full of racists. Today he likes speaking at Iranian symposiums on the evils of the dirty Joooos; but no one even knows about that because it doesn't fucking matter.
Consoles used to be the budget alternative to PC gaming. Nowadays, the cost/performance ratio is not in console's favor. And consoles are only getting more expensive, while current and last gen PC prices remain pretty steady.
Blizzard doesn't ban on a 75% probability. They watch accounts over a long period of time. If one account is in that 75% probability, day after day after day, then they become reasonably certain of cheating and place them in the next batch of mass bans. At least, that's how they have explained they do it in WoW after players complain they don't ban fast enough (which is automatically, by some player's standards). Blizzard does care about not reflexively banning anyone and everyone.
This post was actually written in Standard Chinese, but due to Slashdot's lack of Unicode support and simple freak chance, it came out looking just like Portuguese instead.
Context. He isn't just "old people," he's making a comment about how a pervasive new technology is nowhere on his radar, and is therefore worthless. And yes, such a grognard cannot comprehend anything new or innovative. The smartest devs I know are 20+ years older than I am. This guy is not one of them.
He's making shit up. Also, if he was in the industry before Microsoft existed, then he's getting on near retirement age, and has checked out of industry innovation, anyway.
"Simple C" is only still used in very restricted embedded devices.
That's not a small userbase. That's a frikkin' yuuuuge userbase. In fact, this alone probably puts in on top. Your car is programmed in C. Your HVAC is programmed in C. Your gas pumps are programmed in C.
Also, let's not forget that the computer your typing on? Its kernel is written in C. Regardless of your OS is or what its supporting libraries are written in (C++ for Windows, Objective-C for MacOS, and Linux uses you-can-guess). The kernel is in C.
C is simply not productive enough for a programmer when you have more productive languages available.
Productive as in features by amount of lines of code and speed how you implement those features.
If we count productivity in the size of the compiled binaries, something embedded systems and device drivers care about, then C is the most productive solution.
Deeply conflicted individual, drank alcohol. Couldn't recite prayers. Not Muslim to speak of.
Don't discount the power of guilt and shame as catalysts for religious fundamentalism. Such a person may feel the compulsion to go to extremes to achieve the spiritual righteousness that their own weak flesh could not give them. What those extremes look like depend on what the person believes their religion's doctrines to be.

Shit, guys, lemme tell you 'bout some CHEMTRAILS!
His latest GIF novel (as the term suggests, a novel constructed with animated GIFs) was also mostly saved to the blog.
And nothing of value was lost.

You have to understand; to an American, the concept of a leader voluntarily submitting to the will of the people is completely alien.
Something about heads and free rent. Or, as Snape said in response to Dumbledore's "After all these years?": "Always."

Pretty sure you're the one who just whooshed.
More importantly, you can override a filibuster. A supermajority can rule without compromise or deals with the minority.

And what it does not include, as TFS says, is email.
It's "could not", not "did not do".
"Full access" does not include reading or sending email. Period.

That "song" you sell it for is retirement in Tahiti. I envy entrepreneurs who receive the opportunity to have their work stolen thus.
"But he adds that Silicon Valley is good for for scaling that opportunity."
Somehow, before the age of cellphones, we did ok. I don't know how, but we survived.

By "so many" you mean... 1?

Do you know what SMS is?
And that sentence was meted out how many times in the last hundred years?
It's also illegal to chain an alligator to a fire hydrant in Chicago.

Those whopping numbers show one thing: how desperate capitalism is.
