Bolivia already produces 115 million chickens a year. The country is not first world by any measure, but people are not starving to death on the streets either.
While I agree with exposing the spying on US citizens, how does it benefit the American people to disclose that the US is spying on leaders like Angela Merkel?
In the sense that the American people is then informed on what the fuck their government is doing. Knowledge has this funny side effect of forcing responsibility: if you know your leaders are up to no good is up to you to demand solutions. Or not. But that ball is now in your court.
I did, actually. I even migrated legacy VMS code to x86-64 Linux back in the day, a mixture of C++ and Assembler, and it was never particularly hard. A chore, yes. But not hard, and the resulting binaries were no slogs either. Properly written executed 64 bits code can yield significant performance boosts, if only because the register space is twice as big as x86.
Keep in mind, we're talking about an IDE here. There are plenty of use cases, specially for large projects, that could have developers using more than 4GB of RAM at work.
I just can visualize a horde of crackpots using this data to fuel fringe theories, find messages from God and prove the existence of aliens.
That being said, this is awfully cool from CERN. The raw data will be really useful in academic environments, and the Linux visualization tools are great.
While these images are compelling, they should be considered art and not an accurate representation of radiation science, field technician Lucas Hixson said in an interview with Mashable. “It is a very, very cool art presentation,” Hixson, who measures radiation in various parts of the world, said. “I am less inspired about the public health aspect or the scientific usefulness."
Hixson added that he wouldn’t want government officials using this project to make any decisions about where people should live in these countries because the project simply doesn’t provide that kind of scientific data. Measuring radiation in the air and translating it to a dose of radiation in the human body is extremely complicated work that this project doesn’t take on directly.
“I would wait for better data before I began making any determinations about where I would or wouldn’t go, and where I would feel more or less safe,” Hixson said.
It also has a method such that when beings within one of the simulations start to figure out how the simulation works, it is immediately replaced with something more bizarre and inexplicable.
That's actually a quite decent explanation of quantum physics.

Yep. How does the damn thing turn anyway?
Roads? Where Rolls Royce is going they don't need roads.
Or designers, for that matter.
...thats one fucking ugly car right there.
You're not "social" enough, dude!
You don't need to overthrown a government to make it accountable. This is not Game of Thrones.

It should involve only minor code changes - if even. Even large software projects seldom require more than a new compiler flag.
A couple else suggested this, and i tend to agree: they're not doing it because they can't. My guess is that the VS codebase is a mess to begin with.
Whoa.
Came here to post the exact same thing. Looks nothing like the original.
Why do you call it GNU/Linux and not GNU/ZFS/Linux? The filesystem is a pretty darn important part of an operating system.
It is. That's why Linux supports about 30 of them out of the box.
I'm dead serious. Even if Apple plastered that "right" on a EULA i really doubt it'd be enforceable.
What exactly are you sorry for son?
Seriously. This is no different from some Russian malware encrypting your disk for a ransom.
After all, Apple is downloading his music from his machine and uploading it to Cupertino without permission.

Oh, a mobile OS! That is sure to end up well!
Seriously, i don't know what motivates Canonical to reinvent the package manager.
You probably didn't RTFA. Quote:

I'm not saying i agree. I'm saying this is their reasoning - they do see every user of a private server as a potential lost sale.

We'll eventually find out we really live in a simulation...
Interesting, i'll have to read a bit more about that. Thank you!
...when discussing gravitational or electromagnetic waves, isn't it?
