  1. but the point is can they even make a weapon capable of being dropped from any plane they own? I don't believe they are yet

    freezing Unity because no one is working on it is not neutral in regards to security or stability updates. it's dead, stick a fork in it

  3. oh? NK has a deployable nuclear weapon? or do they have very primitive low-yield devices that can only work from a stationery test bed on the ground?

  4. also they're both steaming piles of shit. so yes, the confusion is understandable. making them and/or using them is what is unforgivable

    wanna bet? face reality, you'll be running 16.04 and Unity won't get any attention for Unity patches or security holes because Canonical won't give a rats ass about it

  6. you missed the whole Unity fiasco, just a wee six years of that as default

  7. being serious thing time, the extra length of 8.27 Ã-- 11.69 might be problematic in flexible binders which have rather tight dimensions, or what would happen if wanting to make copies from that to "standard" U.S. 8.5x11"

  8. nothing corrupt about it, that is vote to use money to help city infrastructure, where most the taxpayers/citizens live.

    $45M for all the rural areas in the state is far too little to do anything useful anyway, cities already have foundation in place for networking

    google is an extremely narcissistic company that does much evil, including anti competitive practices and repeatedly fined for various privacy violations and even violating privacy of underage students gathering and sharing information gleaned with chromebooks.

    but that's the point, a company like Chobani with $750M yearly revenue is small fry next to the big corporations of the world. Humble leaders are found in some of the small fry companies...so what?

    except we have fossil fuel reserves sufficient for about 1000 years (mostly coal, which can be broken into any desired length hydrocarbon: gasoline, diesel, nat gas, kerosene, bunker oil for cargo ships, etc.)

    Tesla makes expense toys for the well to do.

    smarter countries will have cheap electric cars and be recharging them with mix of fossil and nuclear power. smart long term solution would be arrays of solar panels and storage, U.S. too dumb to lead like that.

  14. MINT teams listens to end users though for design; Ubuntu regularly tries to cram some random brainfart up the end user's ass

    but the real Ohm's law of 1827 is for wires of metal (and even included temperature term!). For newly discovered metal alloys it's pretty damn good. Are there metals that don't obey Ohm's law? I'm looking that one up.

  17. Linux MINT == Ubuntu minus the suck desktop plus your choice of MATE or Cinnamon

  18. and also there is MATE for for those that liked GNOME before it went off on a weird tangent of being mental masturbation for developers rather than doing what users wanted or needed.

    we close blinds and then curtains over those for all the windows when leaving in summer for hours to "keep the cool in".

    you bring up another thing that simplifies life, instead of carpet that traps dirt and crud, hardwood floors are so much superior. we've nothing but that and tile (for kitchen and bathrooms).

  20. the are good GUI's, MATE or Cinnamon

    forget GNOME3, the devs left what users wanted or needed or liked in the dust. does anyone even use that crap any more?

  21. Re:The Important question is on No, We Probably Don't Live in a Computer Simulation, Says Physicist (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    no, much science is observational, categorical or descriptive without scientific method.

    As example, the Chinese counted and kept records of sunspots. We find that information useful today. No "scientific method" in sight when that was done, and even now that is done without scientific method (not by experiment)

    The foundations of modern science are in math, by the way, and those things invented without scientific method. Yet math is considered a science.

    We make AI constructs, let them under "machine learning", then interact with them. There is example of how your narrow minded thinking may not be valid even if our universe is simulation and creator interacts with it.

    nah, just have stinky little half watt LED night light so you can see and find the light switch.

    I like thermostat with programmable temps for each 4 hour part of normal day, high tech late 1980s shit there! when leaving home override and turn the heat down (similar argument for AC). I've found in less than 20 minutes home can be heated up again when returning so really the hype of remote control is just coolness wankery.

    for extended leave a couple lights on random timers

    really, why come home from IT job to complicated ball of IT gee-whizzery....no thanks
