    VI!!!!! Luxury, I code in Nano for 25 hours a day, in the snow, barefoot, eating coal if I get hungry and all while my computer is unplugged.
    If I'm lucky, I'll be beaten by my father at the same time which warms me up a bit.

    EMACS!! La-de-fucken-da rich boy!
    EMACS is dying, faster than Apple and M$.
    If you're not using Nano, you don't know how to code.

    If you're not writing machine code, you're a loser.
    Binary is taking it too far.

    Interestingly, VS becomes abandonware the same time Apple dies, which is the year of Linux on the desktop!

    The menu dots in Chrome are vertical, in MS's version they're horizontal!
    Nothing alike.

    Wow, and your work, local doctor, hospital, fire service, police service all work on those solar panels and propane tanks too?!
    Wow, what a forward thinking country you come from!

  9. Please convert miles to hogs heads so the metric community can understand.

  10. "The problem is when they become socialist countries with some capitalism mixed in, which is what the "Socialist Democrats" want."
    LOL! I just love Americans, you think your Democrats are left wing, they're more right wing than most right wing parties in other countries, it's just that the Republican's are extreme right-wing, making the Democrats look left wing in comparison. You don't even know what life would be like under a center party, let alone a left wing party.
    TLDR; You have no idea what you're talking about.

  11. Re:Because they want it to be better! on Microsoft Open-Sources Windows Calculator (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    Try pressing Ctrl+Alt+V instead of just Ctrl+V
    Then select "Unformatted text".
    Obviously depends on the program, but I do Ctrl+Alt+V dozens of time per day, to KEEP formatting, because by default (in office) I have changed my options to remove all formatting and just paste text by default.

    Go to an island country and look at the shit on the beaches. It isn't 80% fishing netting, it's plastic bottles, fag butts disposable plastic crap.
    Getting rid of that will make the beaches cleaner.
    Working on sorting out the fishing netting can be done in parallel, it isn't a do only one or the other situation.

  15. Ay? The RDC app's free. It's also the best I've come across on iOS.

    I love dark mode everywhere. Reduces my ocular migraines and eye strain substantially.
    One woman's fad is another man's godsend.

  17. Can anyone supply a link proving or disproving that self driving have a lower rate of death than human driven?

  18. All of these are shit, compared to the X6Delta way of sculpting the future in ways unforseen to achieve greatness!

  19. Just ran speedtest.net, got a 154ms ping to California.

  20. Most people are on Fiber (to the home) in NZ these days (or can get it). Certainly most schools are on fiber.
    If I ping my east coast US office over VPN from NZ I get just under 200ms response, so not too bad.
    Remote desktop is certainly fluid enough to be completely usable.

    ...Freedom of Speech. I am appalled by the NZed politicians if this is the way they want to treat travelers

    Mine is one family that will continue to travel to Australia, when I can, but I have now put NZed on my "Anti-democratic government" list

    LOL! So much stupidity in one small comment.
    Let me guess, you'll go live in Canada if America introduces universal healthcare? That's the level of intelligence you're expressing saying you'll go to Australia if NZ take your electronic devices.

    To say NZ is anti-democratic is even more moronic, being in 4th position in the world on the democracy index, listed as "full democracy" (Australia is 8th, United States 21st and classified as a "flawed democracy"):

    Finally, thank god you will never come to NZ (not that you ever would), we don't want moronic bigots like you.

    NZ is the least corrupt country in the world. I'd trust NZ border security more than an "anonymous coward" on slashdot.

    I've found both iOS and Android phones work when butt raping.
    Android phone are more flexible in how you use them, but are more likely to "fuck out" on you and ultimately provide a more chaffing experience.
    iOS phones just work, but there's less ways you can insert them.
