I don't know a single real person who keeps their keys in the same pocket they keep their phone.
I got my lesson literally the next day after buying my first smartphone. Since then, I've been careful but it still happens from time to time (no actual scratches, though, other than a deep gouge the first time).
Did pulling it out of my pants a few hundred times a month scratch it?
Try having your keys in that pocket. The reason for screen hardness is not scratching by cloth or by a booger-damp tissue but with the most notorious hard item often carried in pockets. And despite Wikipedia claiming iron having a hardness of 4, steel of 4.5, it is enough to scratch a typical smartphone screen. Thus, a sapphire screen would be a major win -- if it was true.
So they're rewarding NOW research from early 1970s. What's the point? The Nobel prize was designed to provide funds to the best scientists so they can continue research without wasting most of their time begging for sponsors(then)/grants(now). Instead, it degenerated into a list of "greatest minds of the last century who haven't still keeled over" that'd fit more in a random popsci colourful periodical.
That, and the Political Correctness ("Peace") prize.
Where do you even find ads appropriate for 4chan? As sleazy as all advertisers are, I still don't think you can find one for dickgirls with a yeast infection or similar fare.
Wine vs NT is same as Win98 vs NT -- all three are implementations of the win32 API, with different subtle incompatibilities. Do you remember the trouble when moving from 98 to XP? Wine is about on par with that. The 98->XP transition was done mostly by efforts of application programmers, trying to achieve full bug-to-bug compatibility in the implementation itself is a titanic work.
Windows doesn't have stable "real" syscalls -- you're supposed to use a shared lib interface that is rock stable (ABI-compatible down to 3.11+win32s, mostly API-compatible all the way back to Windows 1). The real syscalls are undocumented and change in incompatible ways even between minor updates of the OS.
Thus, win32/win64 on NT is no more or less "native" than Wine.
On the other hand, WSL implements compatibility at syscall level.
Don't worry, that build is not available anyway. Since 14915, all Windows 10 Insider Preview does is downloading updates over and over, rebooting for several hours long installation that requires you to log in in the middle then rolls back the update for another several hours. Judging by the Feedback Hub, same happens to many or possibly most people on insider builds. And working versions are expired since Oct 1st.
I for one don't let Windows anywhere outside a VM but those who made the mistake of using Win10 Preview for some real use are pretty fucked.
You got it wrong: the shitbags here are NSA, yet somehow they go unpunished. I have far less scorn for criminals who hurt criminals than for taxpayer-funded officers gone rogue.
Because this runoff would go to the oceans. Would that somehow be better? How?
Some of it will be released immediately by same processes as in reservoirs, but a good part will be sequestered, either semi-permanently or at least on the order of 100 years. On the other hand, in shallow water there is nowhere for the carbon to go but up.
Hmm? Yes, it exists, and it is deployed and battle-tested! BIND9 has it...
Nope, RFC 5074 provides a scheme for alternate validation in case the regular one fails. It considers a signature valid if it has a valid trust chain from either the root or a DLV anchor. What we want is requiring both or maybe only the DLV. In particular, the RFC wants you, with a SHOULD severity, to stop even asking the DLV when the regular root gave the result "secure".
Ie, what that RFC addresses is the case of the root or your TLD not yet being signed, where what we want is defense against a compromised root.
Also, support in BIND is not enough, you need to actually distribute anchor keys somehow. Any modern operating system already provides a transport to do so (security or misc updates, on Debian that's http://security.debian.org $STABLE/updates and http://$MIRROR/debian $STABLE-updates, respectively), but no system has a package for such keys.
DNSSEC can have additional trust anchors at any tree node, if you're afraid a rogue party (such as an US three letter agency) can mess with the root, you can distribute your signing key and say that only updates of your zone signed by that key are valid. A zone can have many signatures so key rollover isn't a problem even for never updated devices, although being secure vs fake clock attacks requires some carefulness.
If you're big enough (such as a TLD), there's no problem making operating systems distribute your key: even if they don't cooperate willingly, a law that says "all systems sold to govt agencies (or perhaps even everyone) must support this" can ensure timely distributions; channels to do so already exist (Windows updates, stable-updates in Debian, etc).
A scheme for distributing such trust anchors doesn't exist yet only because no one bothered; something similar exists for tzdata and works well even if some government genius decides to change time zone rules in a whole week of advance.
Blocking won't work, but fines will hit Facebook where it hurts. They conduct business in India, have infrastructure and offices there so there's plenty of property on the line if Facebook tried to decline to pay. If you're the second most populous country in the world (almost tied for the first place), ignoring you is not a good idea. Perhaps the average customer in India is nowhere as rich as in the western world, but that's no African hellhole either.
That very page you linked to says that for every type of gun, if it's allowed to own at all, you need a license. The table I linked to further says that, unlike most of Europe, such a license can be denied at a whim of an official, and in practice usually gets denied. Handgun licenses in particular are denied unless you prove a specific threat to life.
And even if you do own a license, you can't keep the gun in a place where it could actually be useful but only unloaded in a locked safe.
In a first-past-the-post system, if there's a big gap towards the 3rd candidate, voting for him instead of a lesser evil is a wasted vote. All you do is send a message that'll be ignored by most, it's for all practical purposes an "abstain" vote.
SJWs are a very specific group of indoctrinated individuals, rather than "every clinton supporter" (that are in majority just people that don't want to vote for trump, as most trump supporters are just people that don't want to vote for hillary).
True, this election most Americans are trying to find a way to vote against what they perceive as bigger evil. And let's face it, between the two real candidates there's no lesser evil.
It a the backlash against the SJWs and PC Nazis. If it's a free country, then they have a right to be a bigot and racist
But nowadays it's SJWs who are the racist bigots. For Clinton voters, racism is good if it's against whites or asians.
(I'm not claiming Trump voters are not racist -- they are -- but it's mostly not them who call everyone "bigot" without even being aware of hypocrisy.)
What player worth still using does not handle AAC directly?
What player worth still worth using does handle AAC directly? All I've tried recently don't.
But there's no reason to use AAC anymore. It's barely better than MP3, and proprietary to boot. In blind listening tests, OPUS at 96kbps fares better than AAC at 160kbps or MP3 at 320kbps.
If you're really paranoid, you can encode OPUS at 128kbps, for real-world equipment and regular ears 96kbps is more than enough.
As if we had a network of store-and-forward servers that can disperse email-like messages over the world, scalable as every server serves only local clients. Such messages could then be archived or expired based on a configurable policy. It might be less usable during a September, but since the Eternal one has ended, we can somehow wait these five days:p

Just like that quote "American aggressor interferes with Soviet Union's internal matters on the whole world.".

Ukraine armed? How come? Unless you mean those "military surplus" stores that sell new unmarked Russian uniforms, heavy weaponry and tanks.
When was the last time one of us was invaded?
Georgia? Ukraine/Crimea? Ukraine/Donetsk? These are no middleeastern hellholes, both are civilized countries, Ukraine even bordering the EU.

Yeah, but "don't buy HP printers" has been good advice for at least 20 years.
