Most operating systems designed to run on 64-bit hardware already use signed 64-bit time_t integers, effectively eliminating the Year 2038 problem in any software that has been developed to use the extended format. Using a signed 64-bit value introduces a new wraparound date that is over twenty times greater than the estimated age of the universe: approximately 292 billion years from now, at 15:30:08 on Sunday, 4 December 292,277,026,596. The ability to make computations on dates is limited by the fact that tm_year uses a signed 32 bit int value starting at 1900 for the year. This limits the year to a maximum of 2,147,485,547 (2,147,483,647 + 1900).[8] While this solves the problem for executing programs, it does not, however, solve the problem of storing date values within binary data files, many of which employ rigid storage formats.
I would also suggest that a government that needs to conduct drone surveillance is far more paranoid than I am. And one that performs drone assassination is less moral than I am.
If you disconnect your system from the internet it'll be even more secure.
I'm not worried about people making wired connections to my router.
iCloud is automatic, and real-time.
Still doesn't mean I want it.
Cron jobs are pretty useless for backing up a mobile device to a wired drive. No amount of cron-fu is going to make it connect the cable all by itself.
Of course, if the cable is already connected. . . I'm not usually out at 4:30 AM.
not much use for a usb port nowadays. I use the wireless portion to connect to the printer,
Yeah, because replacing my duplex, wired network, color laser printer is so much cheaper than getting a USB ethernet port. Also, not using wireless means I can shut off the wifi portion of my router, which is the best way to secure it.
icloud keeps the back-ups so no need to connect an external hard drive to manually back-up shit anymore
I can just keep backups on a USB drive, or use a USB optical drive for backups. And I'm pretty sure I could run a cron job if I wanted automated backups. Also, why do I want the cloud?

Working out everything out by hand in the lecture lets the students see how you work through the problem,
And you can't work out everything in a presentation?
How are students supposed to stay awake in class? Is most of your stock portfolio in energy-drink companies?
Shop floors and offices don't have outlets?

But at least he wasn't Granny Smith.
How is this short sighted and pandering? I'm not sure he would have approved of this.
Excuse me, am I a junior McVeigh?

I suppose that requesting evidence to support that claim would be aiding and abetting terrorists.
About bloody time!
No, there is a one-to-one relationship between even perfect numbers and Mersenne primes.
2^5-1=32-1=31, which is prime. Try 2^{11}-1 (using brackets because the exponent has more than one character).
Not until he uses prisoners at Auschwitz to develop software.

I believe it's trichinosis.
Actually, I would want it to run Microsoft Office (yeah, hate me). I have Windows on my hard drive, but I don't know what the Windows boot image is.
Good luck getting a glass of wine with your medium rare pork chop.
FTFY
Yeah, you feed them before you serve them. Who wants scrawny pigeons?
Yeah, it's all fun and games until someone gets stabbed in the shower.
What proportion of Windows and Mac users have Python and Perl interpreters? How easy is it to write cross-platform applications in C/C++?
And what other language(s) are present on Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX?
I assure you that my laptop is quite mobile.

Ssh? Would you do this over wireless (some people use Ultrabooks away from a wired connection)?

The person to whom I responded asked if I had my AR yet. I never said that there were no alternatives.
