Dark chocolate is horribly bitter with a disgusting aftertaste that can only be washed away with bourbon.
I'm guessing you're also the kind of person who can only drink coffee that's loaded up with flavourings and sweeteners to make it not taste like coffee any more.
QNX has asynchronous messaging now, but of course, the point was always that the kernel's synchronous messages were just building blocks. QNX has supported POSIX message queues for as long as I can remember, and it has also told you (though, yes, the documentation was crap) how to roll your own if that didn't suit your needs.
And if you've never done E!, well, someone more eloquent has stated the numerous issues with it.
Ecstacy's had a bad rap The drug's OK but the music's crap Techno's made with computer cable Sampling machine and an old turntable Get a loop, then cut and paste her Buy a trip and lick the paper There's new school, old school, prep school too There's DJs that nobody knew But now they're known - for doing what? Ideas? Music? Melody? Nup. They don't sing, they're not able. They put a record on a turntable.

There's a reason why I phrased it as a question. I'm not sure if the Mongol Empire counts as a "country" and if any of the lands that it invaded counts as "Russia".
Free trade is great, but the TPP was mostly not about trade. It was about copyright.
Half right. The TPP was indeed mostly not about free trade, it was mostly about investment. The copyright/patent/ISDS/etc provisions that we talk most about here are bad, but they are really aspects of the same central theme of the TPP: protecting investments.
There's an insightful meme going around to the effect that this election is a choice between everything that's wrong about US government and everything that's wrong about US culture. Lest anyone accuse me of false equivalence, one corollary of this is that at least (and, quite possibly at most) Clinton won't make things worse.
To this generation, anything vaguely hinting of duty and authority is immediately branded fascist.
To this generation, the vast majority of institutions and people who have found themselves in positions of authority have shown themselves to be deeply corrupt and generally rotten to the core.
Anything remotely offensive is immediately branded racist whether race is actually involved at all (for example, being against Islamic extremism is frequently called "racist" despite the fact that Islam is a religion, not a race).
Congratulations, you can read an old dictionary. For the record, being against Islamic extremism isn't the problem and never has been. Everyone who isn't an Islamic extremist is against Islamic extremism.
The problem is that the sentiment is more typically expressed as being against Islam in general, and being against refugees (or non-refugee immigrants) trying to get away from Islamic extremism in particular. What would you call that if not "racism"?
We've raised an entire generation of hyper-sensitive, easily-offended, thin-skinned "citizens" who are utterly repelled at the concepts espoused in Heinlein's "Starship Troopers."
What the generation who grew up then doesn't seem to realise is that those "concepts espoused" were quite new at the time. The time between the start of World War 2 and when Starship Troopers was published is shorter than the time between the end of the Cold War and today. It was published just over a year before Eisenhower's speech warning of the military-industrial complex.
Traditional values typically aren't. Conservatives typically don't.
Believe it or not, there are places in the world where the legislative branch hasn't offloaded all of its constitutional responsibilities onto the executive branch and associated bureaucracy. It's a pretty sweet gig, admittedly, to sit back and complain about how things are while not actually taking responsibility for making things better. Strange as it may seem, there are countries left in the world where this is frowned upon.
When you're in Terminal, it'll be there right where your finger expects it to be.
...and mvim, and virtualbox, and Qt Creator, and the other dozen ways I might find myself in a vim editor... yes, all this is surmountable. My muscle memory is still going to need to be retrained for the fact that there is no tactile cue that the key was ever pressed.
It doesn't matter, anyway. There are enough competitors now that the MacBook Air is no longer the clear winner on power-to-weight ratio. My time with OS X was fun, but this too shall pass.

I was thinking Noir Infini, but sure.
It's simpler to eat dark chocolate like a civilised person.
Women should not go to dangerous places dressed provocatively either. In both cases blaming the victim is wrong.
"I didn't get what I paid for" is in no way morally equivalent to "someone assaulted me".
So... biomass, then?
What will naughty boys and girls get if not a lump of coal?
[...] awful design choices (synchronous messaging).

There is already an OS which is all of those things.
Sounds good! I have a shiny new 64-bit CPU and I would like to run this QNX on it please!
Oh, really? Never mind, then.
How do you refute a prediction about a future event without any evidence to confirm or deny?
Protip: One sure-fire way that I have found to effectively refute a prediction is to wait and observe it not coming to pass.

There was no Russia as we know it back then.
There's a reason why I phrased it as a question. I'm not sure if the Mongol Empire counts as a "country" and if any of the lands that it invaded counts as "Russia".
There was never a single country that *invaded* Russia that didn't regret it profoundly.
The Mongol Empire?

What other parts of the Constitution is it time to 'get rid of'???
Prohibition.
Ignore everyone who claims to have identified the one reason why Trump won.
Electoral college positions are inherently multi-seat constituencies. Why not go with the Hare-Clark (STV) system?
t's not so much newtons laws per se, but energy and momentum conservation laws which are a consequence of very fundamental symmetry laws.
1. The EM Can't Call It A Drive In Good Conscience Yet consumes energy.
2. Photons have momentum.
But yeah, it's still very hard to believe.
That's no way to talk about Hillary!

I don't know about you, but I enjoy news about complaints against Apple.

They sell USB-A to USB-C cables?
Yes, although they're not as cheap as B to C.
I know it was meant as a joke, but this isn't what "shill" means. Phil Schiller works for Apple in a senior position and doesn't pretend otherwise.
They'll need a cable one way or the other.
