Especially since 4chan now seems to have more censorship than ever and new clones have been appearing with less censorship. Seems to me that 4chan is already dying.
Either you have censorship on a site or you will have sites with questionable content that nobody really believes in. The trolls will find new forums and channels. Lately there's an app for mobile phones called Secret that has been used for questionable activities.
But in fact it do make a company less competitive - some shareholders take interest in the short term gains, not the long term. Buy a share, cut down on the expenses - company sees a short bump of improved profit, sell shares and make a profit for yourself while the company has been slowed down and left behind the leaders in the competing race of new technology.
Keep your important data on current mainstream storage. This is the only way to preserve it - copy data from old disks to new disks whenever you upgrade.
Of course at each upgrade you can also discard a lot of data that isn't necessary, but pictures and similar stuff shall be preserved. Data formats for images have been stable for the last decades. Even though some improvements have occurred a 25 year old jpg is still viewable.
However some document formats have to be upgraded to latest version since especially Microsoft have a tendency to "forget" their old versions. You may still lose some formatting, but the content of the documents is the important.
Others can grab the IPv4 addresses that Russia is using today. Of course - Russia can start using the rest of the IP addresses that the world uses too.
I agree - both do science, and they cooperate well on the science part, it's their ideals that differs and brings their petty bickering around - they don't agree upon if taking a humanitarian perspective of saving a life is the best way. Save one life - but what about the countless others?
"The needs of the many outweighs the needs of the one" - but that might not always be true, what if the one is the person with the key to the future?
Quite interesting. They are the main characters, but don't count out Scotty.
When you have all four personalities then you also have something that can be found in some successful companies. Kirk - the leader, emotional and active. Spock - the cool logic mediator. Bones - the humanistic perspective. Scotty - the fixer geek.
And of all emotions that have formed humanity curiosity is the most important. The questions of "Why" and "How" are more important for progress than hate and anger. Love is an important part of the progress too.
It feels like this is just one indication that the patent system is corrupt. How can you prevent that a patent isn't going through an application process without a flaw?
One way to weed out bad workers is to have a cross-examination of the patents. If there's a great deviation between the review results from the two reviewers (or three if you want to make it even safer) then it's an indication that one of the reviewers may not be doing his/her job. Of course - it's not a single patent that you can detect this on but a number of patents. So sometimes statistics is your friend - but it requires that the ones that review the statistics aren't corrupted.
If it's unlikely that life can appear I think it's even more unlikely that intelligent life can occur.
I once did put what I thought was plausible figures into the Drake equation and ended up with a value of about 0.8.
Mostly because I think that the chance of an intelligent civilization is low. I find it much more likely for life to appear and spread in a galaxy than for intelligent life to appear that is able to develop technology.
Well - considering the amount of helium literally wasted in balloons this is at least a decent use. But otherwise I agree. Next step would be hydrogen drives.
For buses on regular routes used for public transportation it's a viable alternative since they don't need to drag batteries around.
It's of course possible to have a smaller battery pack and a diesel engine as backup for cases when the overhead lines aren't available for one reason or another.
There are also extra-long buses used in public transportation systems.
Trams are also an alternative, but they have the disadvantage of holding up the line if there's a malfunction in one - or even multiple lines if the city traffic router have decided to make all lines intersect in a non-redundant manner.
And if I want some privacy and protection against password snoopers for some features that I want to control on my home server I'm also by default a suspect by that logic.
The internet seems to be a new playground for Big Brother... Make sure that the sheep are walking as the government want.
And isn't all this a good example of how Darwinism works? The survivors have proven that they can beat the disease and their genes will be more likely to spread causing the next outbreak of this strain in the future to be less serious.
Cruel - yes, but nature is cruel and doesn't have favorites.
Well - if FAA goes after those doing tornado research they are essentially just getting bad publicity. It seems to me that they essentially just try to shoot down every operation that is competing with the paperwork path of the FAA.
Better set up a new set of rules instead, since as long as you operate it for other than private use but use it in a way that doesn't invade privacy or on your own property then I don't see a problem with using a drone (which is a RC model anyway.)
Most likely a software bug. The amount of stupid bugs that exist in software due to pressed time constraints and attempt to save money is sometimes baffling.
Just look at some of the more successful companies - many of them have had a "skunk works" department where they could do the research and innovations in a less restricted area.
And a lot of creative people are also less socially competent, which means that they have a harder time to get funding.
Some degrees contains a lot of theory around algorithms but they miss the point of how do you code in a good way - produce code that's easy to maintain.
The bulk of the code written is essentially just bread and butter, check this, check that, merge strings, store data, retrieve data. Few have to concern themselves with indexing algorithms, best function to seek data - it's in the database API.
The "How to write quality code" chapter seems to have been lost (if it ever did exist) for many that are coming out fresh on the job market.
Employing someone with a degree in Computer Science can even mean that you employ a code jockey that re-invents functionality that already exists in a library - with the risk of new interesting bugs introduced.
Some archive apps like WinRAR can extract files from self-extracting EXE files. Also look around for other softwares that can do this.
In some cases a command line option will allow the EXE to be extracted but not installed - but you have to do some digging.
Of course - the above is provided that you have at least one Windows machine around.
Also check around on the Motherboard manufacturer site - sometimes they offer both an EXE and a ZIP archive, and if nothing else contact their support. If nobody pesters them about the problem then they don't care.
And finally - also look at Tyan and Supermicro for motherboard, even though their target is server motherboards they may have some suitable motherboards for you.

It has happened before, it will happen again.

Well - when they figure out that the income channels that the internet provides suddenly stops they will probably take action.
And you still forget Management by Confusion.

Which metadata do the NSA collect?
If you know that then you can "carpet bomb" them with useless metadata rendering the logging useless.

If you really want to mess up Cuba - drop the embargo and flood them with goods.

That depends on your isp, and what your purpose is.

Anyone coding in Regular Expressions knows that the whole language is extremely compact and is only built upon the understanding of strange features.
If any code is "Write Only" that must be the top contender.

Whatever rocks your boat and can allow the necessary tool to work.
