There's some truth to it, even a completely idle system seems to delay writing. Try it yourself: mount a USB stick, and copy some stuff to it. The LED on the flash stick often doesn't even start blinking until you issue the command to eject, when it finally starts writing.
My friend, I hope this has been a valuable lesson for you. It should have been obvious several posts ago with all the ducking and weaving around sales vs market share that you're talking with an unrelenting Apple fanboy, but we're all only human, and in the heat of the moment it's easy to miss the signs.
Next time, I trust you'll spot the warning signs earlier and bow out before it's too late.
Actually, if the difference between life and death is 30 seconds, then a paramedic getting to you 30 seconds sooner will make all the difference. Take it from a paramedic.
and you'll see that the "park" gear is a dinky soft cast iron pawl.
So? Hook a rope up to that car and try to tow it, and you'll find that "dinky soft cast iron pawl" stands up to the challenge perfectly, and the wheels will skid. There's no point in engineering it any better.
Another example: dock color. This is such a dumb preference but I cannot imagine why they don't make it user customizable. I like dark colored dock backgrounds, they look better on the desktop backgrounds I choose. But Apple simply will not make them customizable.
Actually, you've got two choices, light and dark, which sounds like it might suit you. It's not in the Dock Control Panel, of course. It's in General.
I'd wondered if I should've clarified that in my post. In any event, it has been now. I'm really just responding to you because you're not an AC (I'll explain soon). Just looking to have conversation about it, not tell anyone off.
do you give more veracity to pretty people because you think a pretty person is smarter than an ugly person?
Not to the extent I can be aware of my own biases. Again, I chose to respond to you because you're not an AC. It's not because I think logging in lends veracity to your argument, it's just that engaging in conversation with a group of unknown number or reputation has proven to be very unrewarding in my experience. When I do make judgements like this, I like to at least be able to stand by them with reasons
I don't write people off just because they write 'M$'. You have your reasons when you do, and it doesn't really bother me. As another poster said, I have to admit considering the company's abusive behaviour it's to criticise them - and it is. I don't look down on people who think and say MS are shady.
All I'm saying is, coming from someone who used to write M$, and does no longer: as I've matured I've found it a lot easier to make my point heard when I don't decorate it with extra baggage that prompts your listeners to start making judgements about you.
Whether the judgements are sound or not, people will make them. Sometimes people you're genuinely trying to sell yourself too, no randoms on Slashdot. All things being equal, the post without the dollar sign embellishment will be better received, in my opinion.
Sounds like your people could determine if something is truth or a lie just by performing a find on it, for M$, and not even read it. That sounds to me like exceptional intelligence, you agree? The way to get to the absolute truth.
I don't have a "people" that all think like I do. I'll forgive your snark on the basis I think you've misunderstood me a little.
When you write it as 'M$' it tends to give the impression one of the big issues you have with them is they've made a lot of money, and that you make a point of expressing that whether or not it is necessary or relevant. It may be that you actually want to give that impression, in which case power to you.
You'll probably come across as juvenile, this may be right or wrong and again, this may be your intention.
Fact is, some people are going to switch off when they see you write "M$", or refer to their company by the stock symbol, as if that's a reasonable thing to do outside the context of actually investing in that stock.
When you're making an entirely valid and objective criticism of their company's behaviour / products (and I know you'll agree that's not difficult to do), you've nothing to gain by putting off a portion of readers by making them think you're a nutjob, even if you are.
Yeah, I can see whole city blocks of dev shops starting up and finding new ways stuff those files paths as long as possible.
Eventually, all files will have had every scrap of data and metadata pulled out, base64 encoded or similar and stuffed into the pathname. A 4GB movie file would simply become a ~6GB pathname. Actual files would be unnecessary, just directories and their names, lovely long make Microsoft money names!
Wow, you changed your mind quickly! You don't seem to think that wanting to do "very-descriptive-title-goes-over-260-chars.dat" is reasonable, it's more understandable with a short named file buried in subdirectories spelling out to more than than length?
You can't find out about trophies you don't already have, so...
You can only guess, so...
You poke around doing things trying to discover what the trophies are.
We can't control how well people wash their hands. Most of the people you see washing their hands in the bathroom are only doing so because you saw them there, and they're merely giving their hands a cursory splish splash, in effect merely providing the bacteria with a vehicle to travel the air.

I'm guessing you're defining "never" to mean "not in my 20 year life time"

The initial papers were published from Stanford, quite a few years ago (and so are hidden form the internet).

You have a mental illness. Get some help before you hurt someone or yourself.
BULLSHIT.

That would be... convenient

No, Stoned was a boot-sector virus.
Yes. You should google the name of your idea, you'd see that someone's already making it under exactly that name. Sorry, bub.
Removing your double negatives:
The OS does automatically run stuff unless you were paranoid enough to ramp up the security.
Which seems pretty crazy, since MM literally means 2000 in Roman Numerals.
short sf2rand(void) {
int x = (g.randSeed1 x *= 3;
x = x >> 8;
g.randSeed2 += x;
g.randSeed1 = x;
return g.randSeed2;
}
Nope, Bruce Schneier debunked this https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/03/choosing_secure_1.html
