Speaking as someone with dinner plate sized hands, no you can't. Maybe, if you tap it as hard as you can with your finger a few thousand times you might eventually produce a hairline crack. But I doubt it.
I like how you glossed right over the worldwide refugee crisis. I guess you think the 2nd amendment and gated communities will suffice for your progeny.
So the live-binding the SQL-database is pretty significant, especially if it's easy.
Not to the majority of the user base who are using it to write letters to their grandkids or gin up a quick flyer, which is the whole point of this thread. The software in queston may or may not suck in specific ways, but to everybody who isn't a slashdotter, it's irrelevant.
Yeah, but we were talking in the context about making it to trial, which presupposes the US has their hands on him. The only thing better than killing a traitor is the big show trial beforehand.
But seriously, when modded minecraft takes 6+ gigs
Yawn. Firefox alone accounts for anywhere between 1-3 GB with all my tabs.
This is on an i7-5820k and Nvidia GTX 970 with 32GB ram - a PC that ranks 97% world wide in 3dmark.
The plural of anecdote is not data. For example, on my setup, an FX-8320 with 8GB RAM,a GTX760, and not an SSD in sight runs Minecraft just fine with a couple of mods.
Last but not least, while I understand popularity and ubiquity inspire varying levels of contempt (I'm certainly not innocent on the issue), I've never really understood technical arguments against games. Sure, you have your Arkham Knights, which provided insurmountable problems for a not-insignificant percentage of buyers and deserve a critical look at the code.
Then you've got Minecraft, played by literally hundreds of millions of people with little to no problems, including my 8 year old niece on her potato PC.
There are many things which could be improved in Minecraft. Whether it's going to gobble up 2GB of Ram versus 3 or 4 or 6 isn't that high up on the list.
you're making an absolute judgment on the entire society
Show me where I did that.
makes your arbitrarily determined authority
Again, stop making shit up. There is no authority, but there is such a category as developed countries, which the US belongs to, who all legislate openly such that you can track trends, political movements, ideological shifts, legislation and make comparisons.
And if you can find someone who's job is to track those very things and measure them against each other who will happily assert that the US looks leftist compared to most other developed countries, by all means, please do point him or her out of to me. That would be a rare and welcome treat.
i didn't notice the "arbitrary society {XYZ} is the authoritative definitive determinant of ideology in the world against which all are judged" icon floating above your head
Probably because that never happened, so don't be too hard on yourself.
what international standards? saudi arabia? malaysia?
If you bothered to read a little further, you would have caught the "developed countries" part. HTH.
those are just arbitrary points, not Magical Authoritative Determinators of Ideology, Anointed By God, which you apparently believe for some ignorant reason
Assumes facts not in evidence. Thanks for the bad faith.
the truth is, every society has some who resist change, and some who accelerate it. the center is determined by the center of that society, at that time. and this center is always moving. and it is the only logically valid measure of center, left, and right. for that given society. at that given time
Hence why, currently, and for a a while now at least, the US has been regarded as more conservative than most other developed countries. You're not refuting any points with this.
if you really reached for some magical bullshit measure of ideology globally, rather than society-by-society (the only valid measure), then the usa is actually a moderate middle-of-the-road country
And if you actually bothered to read what's got you frothing so much, you'd find that nothing like that has actually happened. Best of luck.

"Do you have any data for that claim?"
"Look, a cloud!"

Ewwww, you take public transportation. How un-American of you.
*backs away slowly, makes sign of the cross, calls DHS*
LOL, that's a drop in the bucket compared to what climate change will throwc up.
Best of luck to you, you'll need it.

"bit of land" = the displacement of hundreds of millions of people across the globe.
AKA your kids get to grow up in permanent refugee crisis world.
And you know what ? I am a fool to care about this, because I'll be dead before shit gets really real. Hope you leave your kids some money!
Shame.
News Flash: The Dems didn't need Trump to make that happen. Sure does help, though.
Regulatory Capture's a hell of a thing.

Which is fine, but if you're going to use such an edge case to make the claim that one suite of software is superior to the other, you're on thin ice.
Wait, you're equating a CEO resigning because he said something stupid and embarrassing to Genocide?
How can you afford an internet connection after you've spent all your money on really good drugs?
Lol, look at the nerd doubling down!
the oil industry is bashed
Except that wasn't was I was talking about. Nice job going OT.
the explanation I laid out is the only thing that's relevant
How wonderfully egotistical. I think I've found my new slashdot poster boy...
That's...beautiful. Enjoy your irrelevancy.
The problem with subsiding solar is that it causes the market to compete for subsidies instead of produceing a good product.
Funny, never once heard that complaint about oil, but renewables come along and all of a sudden it's all hand-wringing and embarrassed shrugs...
Yeah, but we were talking in the context about making it to trial, which presupposes the US has their hands on him. The only thing better than killing a traitor is the big show trial beforehand.
Yeah but all those people meant executed, not assassinated. They want to see him pronounced guilty then killed, not the other way around.

Wrong. Thanks for playing!
but they're certainly not designing lessons, teaching classes, or exploring subjects
Soooo, I'm guessing you've never put a lesson plan together then?
2005 called, it wants its complaint back.
You mean Hitler didn't waste time and energy on quack science and other assorted occult crap?
