I doubt that. Most of these people are using XP because it was the last consumer Windows with a volume license key. Just because the patches have stopped doesn't mean they are going to throw away their operating system. You will likely find they are running a bunch of Dell P4 machines that others have thrown out
Like I said.... hardware overlay. You get a hardware surface of x/y dimensions at x/y coordinates that is rendered on top of what your OS renders. This is how DirectX works. Your windowing system will be aware of where it is at because the application indicated where the overlay should be and what its size is. When the window is moved, so is the overlay. This is also the reason hardware accelerated windowed games tend to have trouble with screen capturing such things (you get images with a black box)
Games don't (and shouldn't) need a windowing system at all. If it is full screen, then it takes over the display. If it isn't, it is a hardware overlay at the coordinates/dimensions the window claims to be placed at.
If you follow the money trail, you will likely find one of the decision makers on pushing this forward has a monetary interest in this whole scheme. Sort of like how the biggest opponents of drug legalization have shares or outright own prisons and drug testing facilities
Pandora is my only "radio" the same way Netflix is my only "TV programming". It has an app for all of my smart appliances and it does a really good job of figuring out what I want. I don't know what I would do without it.
Yeah, the fascination with lambdas makes my cranium throb. The garbage was bad enough in javascript, but now they are chucking them into every language. Screw defined functions! Let's just have partial functions jammed into the middle of other functions! Then we can copy and paste them all over the place and just change the one line/variable that needs changing to make it relevant to that block! Shit on proper code reuse and declaration! All we need is for every variable type to be a variant type on the back end and we are set!!!
Microsoft got rid of technet because of the unbelievable multitude of shady businesses selling the retail keys to actual willing buyers of MS products. MS lost actual willing paying customers. Even in the event that a seller was found and his account(s) canceled, MS didn't disable the sold keys for the buyers sake.
All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
SSI is a welfare payout. SSDI is insurance, which is not welfare. SSI comes from general tax revenue and is for people that have limited resources and income, which is the EXACT SAME as your local welfare program. You may have never paid into the system. You may be able to work a limited amount, or have another means to live (small income, dependent on another family member, etc). You have to be a resident of the united states (just like you have to be a resident of your local municipality to get welfare benefits from there). The benefits you receive are tied to how much you need to live. You may receive SSI for a work injury that has been deemed temporary, even for a time less than a year.
SSDI on the other hand requires that you have paid into the system for several years. Your benefits are proportional to how much you put into the system while working, regardless whether it is deemed enough to live or not, or even more than you need. Your disability is seen as potentially having no end and working at the time of approval is seen as "probably never". You are not required to stay in the united states or even stay a US citizen, because like I said, it is an insurance payout.
You may want to read Understanding Supplemental Security Income. It seems you, as well as most people have the wrong idea about what Social Security is and what one is actually entitled to
The point is that each individual bitcoin can be traced from the first work unit where it was "mined" and be followed to every transaction where it was used
This just isn't true. Person A sends me X bitcoins to a disposable receiving wallet. Person B sends me Y bitcoins to another disposable receiving wallet. When I spend (X+Y) * 0.7 bitcoins, the blockchain sees them "sent" from my main wallet, with no inherent connection to the disposable wallets. You can trace as far as main wallet->receiving wallet they were sent to, but no further. You had it correct in your first paragraph, but lost in in the second.

I don't see how this is a bad response. It sounds like talking to a lawyer

Local indie bands tend to suck. If they don't, they succeed like Tool has.
EXACTLY my point. Quality be damned
People prefer a $1 McDouble over a $15 premium burger. The public chose VHS over Betamax. "Good enough" is good enough.

Why would you do that? You increase the stack usage, risk a branch fault, and make nothing easier.

So to hide data from the likes of the NSA, you want me to use a system developed by the NSA? Brilliant!
All bitcoin gambling I know of sends the bitcoins back to the address that deposited them in the first place

I really can not understand how people continue to believe that everything should be connected to everything

Remember when Samsung, Elpida, Micron, Mosel, Infineon, Hynix, Vitelic and NEC were sued for a total of $263 million dollars for price fixing? It wasn't the first and it won't be the last.

The shadow profile stuff came out much longer than several weeks ago. Provided is a slashdot link to a story almost 2 years old:

Survivor benefits are for widows of retirees, or widows with children under 18. Absolutely not for widows of SSI recipients

But even after that, the next question is, what else does this mean?
It depends on the result
