Enough! Its already got a spec probably more complicated that the space shuttle , just let us get on with using it instead of throwing in ever more useless features that only ever seem to get used in job interview questions!
.... but unless they have the worlds top obfuscating coders working there (quite possible) , how long do you think it would be until someone spots the suspect code especially in something as well trodden as the Linux kernel or GNU utilities? I would guess not too long.
The parent said he wanted secure boot to be able to decide what boots on his machine. My point was you don't need secure boot to be able to do that. He's obviously drunk the MS kool aid. You however should learn to read.
Err , proxys hide the location YOU'RE coming from , they don't hide their OWN location you flipping idiot.. The parent made a valid point - what is special about the IP addresses they're going to use that makes them "global"? And I suspect soon enough other sites will soon recognise them and flag them as NZ regardless.
They do more interesting things, not hacking together some noddy webpage. So the only people left to do it are the ones who self taught themselves javascript after working their way up from HTML typesetting. I doubt many off them even have a clue how a computer works - "What, like the processor totally doesn't work on documents?? Like woah man!" - because the closest they ever got to a CS course was passing by the comp sci centre on their way to their BA or liberal arts course.
"from *ANYWHERE* in the gym (~5000 sqft of open space)"
Wow, 5000 square ft. Thats... er 70 foot by 70 foot (assuming its one single room). BFD. Not much of an example to your students if you couldn't be bothered run your lazy ass across that in a few seconds.
"should a bad song start playing."
Perhaps you should choose better songs to start with.
"and more importantly safely, reach over and touch one button one my watch to skip a song"
Oddly enough you can do that with most music devices. Wierd huh?
I'm sure its a worthy project and no doubt based on very solid maths and engineering. However I'm also sure it'll be forgotten about this time next week. There are too many codecs fighting it out already - yet another one is just a bit more noise in the background. Sorry, but thats just the way it is.
Try to use apps on that tiny little screen? No thanks.
Have to connect it to a smartphone to do anything useful? Wtf??
I'm sorry, how much does it cost?? $150??
If you want a gimmick watch Casio will do you a nice one for about $30 but I have to warn you that the days of digital watches being cool ended in about 1980 so you won't be getting any Hipsters putting down their skinny lattes in shock and envy by buying a Pebble either.
Oh right, so now every liberals poster boy country - sweden - is an oppressive dictatorship is it? Funny how right-on liberal opinions can just do a 180 without even seeing the irony.
"it could certainly be argued that any paranoia he feels is justified."
No, it couldn't, not really. Not unless you're as paranoid as him. FWIW the UK is FAR more likely to extradite him to the USA than fluffy cuddly sweden. But they didn't.
Eventually the self aggrandising narcissist will find that all his teenage and early 20 something fanboys and conspiracy theorists have either grown up or found a new "messiah" with whom they vicariously stick it to the man. Then he'll just be a sad little man stuck in a building which he can't leave. A bit like prison really.
Ironically , by the time he does eventually leave he'll have probably spent more time in self imposed prison that he ever would have done in sweden for rape.
The age of consent in spain is 14, in the uk 16, in the USA 18 , so if there's a picture of a nude 15 or 17 year old in what country does it get to decided if its legal?
While this may be a laudable effort I have the sneaking feeling the USA once again will be pushing its legal system and morality onto the rest of the world.
"Give kids toys and they're happier for 5 minutes".
But I'm afraid that kids who have deep seating anxiety or other mental health issues need help thats a bit deeper than this well meaning but rather naive approach.
When a ship is deliberately sunk to create a reef ALL the volatiles and potentially toxic substances are removed. Basically all you are left with is iron and a few other metals which are enviromentally benign and are oxidised back to the minerals they came from in a few hundred years.. A shoe however is full of glues, polymers and other man made substances which could take literally millenia to decompose and poison the enviroment in the meantime.
And if anyone thinks I'm being unfair they should read up on the safety compromises chinese railways made in the rush to build high speed lines in record time.
have 2 running at the same time off a hypervisor but it seems a bit overkill for this class of device and potentially confusing for the user if they hit the "switch" button by mistake.

They just can't leave the damn language alone.

Well using that moronic logic, given the human rights record of Russia he certainly won't have it there either will he?

You already do - via these wonderful programs called Boot Loaders. You should read up about them sometime, you never know, you may even get a clue.

We managed it. Get yourself some new DBAs.
Well good luck getting MySQL or MariaDB to run 24/7 on a multi terrabyte database with 99.999% uptime including doing backups.

So you're admitting you're stupid? Fair enough.

With phone contracts you only get shafted metaphorically. In prison on the other hand...

Languages don't have "fun" features, they either have useful features or bloat.
Looks like yet another me-too language that's someones pet project that will be forgotten about this time tommorow.

There are rigorous inspections before they're sunk.
Not so much if you're somewhat older and you've seen the IT wheel turn more than a few times and come back to where it started.

... along with some postulated constraints and ask people to prove them? Whats so special about this one - does it have some mathematical relevance?
Wouldn't know. I'm not a yank. Why do other trolls like you assume everyone on here is american?
