  1. Re:Been able to do this for a decade on Linux Subsystem Files To Become Accessible via Windows File Explorer (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    There is nothing that WSL can do that I can not already do with VirtualBox and Putty with X forwarding.

    Really? Can your VirtualBox and putty with X forwarding prevent the overhead of having to run two separate operating systems in order to do a single task?

    WSL accomplishes the same thing that WINE has been trying to do (except, of course, Microsoft gets more assistance with its evil plans than WineHQ ever has).

    Because he wants to model it after a popular program.

    My parents used to live in Lake Hughes (job related). Lancaster had tons of empty houses. Although, this was around 2008, 2009, so maybe things are different now. I hated just how hot it was there, every time I visited my parents and had to go to Costco in Lancaster with them.

    Grant water rights to whoever holds the water.

    So, what stops East CA from building dams all over the place to stop West CA from continuing to have water that they have now? It's all ... unnecessary strife—the issues we have to deal with as a single state are dwarfed, nay, little-personed by the issues that are foreseeable if it's two sovereign states squabbling.

    California should be split up. Let the coast be one state, let everything east of it be another. That way, someone might see something from the state government other than higher taxes, more middle fingers from Sacramento, and more feel good laws. It is amazing how little that state does, with the highest tax rates in the US, be it the highest income tax, highest property tax, and highest salex tax.

    I foresee no problem, no problem at all with issues like water rights in that case. No sir-ee!

  10. The funny thing is, the companies themselves figured out that race-to-bottom price war is not good for themselves. I guess the public sector will need to repeat the learnin' of the private sector on their own.

    It doesn't have to be direct. Think more probabilistically. Maybe the burn will leave a scar. Maybe the scar will make it harder for the child to find a mate and leave an offspring. Evolution still might be in action.

    You call it "just because they made a phone call"; most sane people call it first degree murder (with the attendant mens rea requirement).

    You can debate if 20 years is enough punishment for a first-degree murder, but let's start with a correct premise.
