Eventually the disenfranchised (it's not hyphenated, btw) youth will be the older generation(s) and the ones who go all crazy voting these days will not be around anymore.
Really, the problem with cattle isn't really methane release as it is the groundwater pollution, local ecological damage, and high water usage related to the mass rearing of cattle.
If you have more than one computer, don't use your high-end gaming PC to surf the Web, write code and other low-power tasks.
It's been a long time since a computer drew as much power as it could, regardless of load.
My powerhouse gaming/computing machine draws less than 50 watts while browsing the web, and when I'm actually using the thing for something serious, it can draw almost 600.
Re: bitcoins: yep. if you can't stand your computer to be idle, run something of actual use to humanity.
All 400 kittens don't need to pathfind in serial. Each kitten could run it's own pathfinding in it's own thread (or groups of kittens in serial, with the groups running in parallel).
There's also no excuse that can't all be handled in a different thread than the UI. No need for that to become sluggish, too, even if you kept the actual pathfinding to a single thread itself.
OK, this specific example's not so bad, but in general: I won't consider someone a bad programmer because the subject-specific process or such they devised isn't correct. Does the code do what they intended? That's the measure.
You can be a good programmer, but a terrible architect, designer, or cryptographer.
How would you feel if the postman was just supposed to check to see if it was still in your box, and take it if it was?
I'd be fine with that, provided a court was the one to decide it should be done.
Your gmail account is your mailbox, not your house. If you were to save the contents of that message somewhere else, that would be akin to bringing the letter inside from the mailbox.
I can't imagine Microsoft has to pay Microsoft for Microsoft products. Accounting may want them to move the money around, but that's stupid and pointless because it doesn't actually cost them money to give it to themselves.
True, but then again all those folks who's calls get dropped are now distracted by trying to figure out what's going on, or reconnect. Not everyone has a fancy voice-command system to help out with that.
Even if you ignore all that it's a false idea anyway. Unless you can stop him from having ever interacted with another human could you remove his influence on the gene pool. You don't need to reproduce (in any fashion) to influence the gene pool.
Extreme example: Hitler had a huge influence on the pool.

It's a pretty dirty and inefficient process.

5. Because everyone (for some hidden away more so than others) is a pyromaniac at heart, and FIRE!
If we didn't rear so many of them, the mess we're in might not be quite as bad as it is.
Or even this thought:
All 400 kittens don't need to pathfind in serial. Each kitten could run it's own pathfinding in it's own thread (or groups of kittens in serial, with the groups running in parallel).
You're assuming it's a single path-find that he wants to thread out.
It isn't. It's 100s to 1000s of path-finds that could all be run on their own.
There's also no excuse that can't all be handled in a different thread than the UI. No need for that to become sluggish, too, even if you kept the actual pathfinding to a single thread itself.

After letting .40 get all the large nasty bugs squished first...
The documents aren't critical. The infrastructure it refers to is.
War kills/maims a lot of people, yes... but as a species, it seems the majority of our technical innovation has been driven by conflict.
OpenSSL might be a bad example.

That's not how it works. Bad programmers are bad programmers - it doesn't matter what language they touch.

It's not vanishing, it's doing exactly what we don't want - dispersing into the biosphere.
Ah, derp - I didn't consider the resources involved, just licensing.
I don't suppose there's a way to get a feed for only the products you care about?

Me too! aaaaaaaaaa until the box was full :P
I never did figure out how that's so easy to remember... you wouldn't think it would be, but there it is 10+ years later.
... are you suggesting he's a cambion?
HAMs love a good fox hunt.

Your interacting with other members of the gene pool makes you a member, if not directly, because you influence the success of the other members.
Even if you're dead, you still have a lasting influence.
