So go buy a real phone, and for the price difference you can buy a lot of SD cards. Or, alternatively, you can backup that stuff to wherever you backup stuff from your regular computer (you do have backups, don't you?).
btrfs has a real RAID 1 mode for a single disk, although to prevent accidental use it's named differently: "DUP". Every block is stored in two different places on the disk, with obvious results for data safety and performance. In fact, it's the default for metadata on hdd (but not ssd as those tend to die in ways that loses the entire disk rather than just some sectors).
Nope, in a recent study of guns used in attacks on police officers, out of 160 cases only one involved a legally purchased gun (ie, with background checks and all the paperwork). All the rest were either sold on the street or stolen.
He was fired for endangering his colleagues and innocent bystanders. If you risk your own life to make a live arrest of an armed and dangerous perp who's clearly not going to submit, that's your decision, but he could easily have caused the deaths of others. And it wasn't the only offense he was fired for -- this was his third strike.
I'd say confining a cat to four walls is animal abuse. Cats are intelligent creatures, and sitting caged with nothing to do but a rubber toy and a minute of petting per day would make them dull. You don't want a member of the Master Race^WSpecies to have the wits of a factory farm cow, do you? And fences mean dogs are confined in, coyotes are confined out while cats consider the fences to be mere decoration.
And the proper term for "small-animal-murder-machine" is "natural predator". Sure, a suburban ecosystem is not exactly natural or even self-sustaining, but with humans sitting on 80% of land area, that's the new norm.
Ban guns, and an organized criminal will have them anyway, while Tyrone in the US needing a fix or Seba in Poland needing the next flask will use a knife. Ban knives and he will use a baseball bat. Ban baseball and he'll use a brick. You'll be dead or in hospital just the same, your phone and wallet in his pocket and your girl raped. With guns, you would be able to defend yourself, but where brawn matters you're no match for an angry steroid user with no sense of self-preservation.
Well, my kitteh brought a live mouse to my (mouse-free) house and set it free, without incapacitating first.
On the other hand, once he kept, over the course of two days, bringing a lot of tiny mice and one big. Family reunion in the belly of a Master Race predator:)
Nope, you'd need a totally controlled path until user's nerves. So until we get those implants, the analog hole will exist. And even then, if you have the technology to inject signal into the nerves, you can read it.
No, being poor is also only a correlation. It's mostly about a specific culture. Compare the behaviour of on-lookers during WTC vs hurricane Catrina: in the former ordinary people (not just firefighters) did a lot to help victims, in the latter you had mass looting often to the point of killing victims.
An anti-intellectual anti-work culture makes people poor. A culture that glorifies aggressive violence (rather than just violence to defend yourself or your neighbours) will also have a lot of crime. In this case, it is the same culture.
Compare gypsies with indic people -- they share the same race, their genetic makeup hasn't changed noticeably during several hundred years since they migrated. Yet the former have a vicious xenophobic culture that strongly forbids any cooperation with outsiders, encouraging crime rather than work; they have unemployment rates "only" around 90% only because statistics go by ethnicity rather than culture and thus include those who shed Romanipen and chose to conform to civilization. On the other hand, a regular indic person is kind and honest, and their superior genetical intelligence means that when exposed to the Western culture they tend to displace whites as top scientists/etc.
It's not persecution that's the cause, either. Let's take at another outsider group that lived in Europe and were even more persecuted than gypsies: the Jews. They have taken 22% of Nobel prizes despite being only 0.2% of world population. And other middle-eastern peoples, of almost identical genetic makeup? I see no stats on those, so let's take all of Islam; besides middle east this includes lots of indic peoples who are also genetically smarter than whites. And what we get? Only _four_ Nobel prizes (counting scientific fields only), out of a population of a couple billions. But wait, are even those four muslims? I've found data on two: one is lapsed, the other one belongs to a group that's declared non-muslim by the constitution of the country that guy comes from, for preferring peaceful means over murdering infidels.
For those of us who don't want proprietary crap when it can be avoided, there's redshift which provides all the functionality.
It has a version with clicky-clicky GUI, but it's better to avoid extra clutter by using the bare version. You need to give it your long:lat on the command line: " and put it in your system's startup ("redshift -l 53:18"), it then stays out of your way.
Depends on the editor. I for one use jstar where, if indent mode is on (default for C/etc files), pressing backspace gets me back one level of indentation, even guessing the right thing if the file uses something non-standard.
No idea about more widespread editors, but it's not so hard to handle spaces conveniently.
Many places use Cobol, and even more use Windows, too. That people use either doesn't mean Java is the right tool for the job. Any job (maintaining existing code notwithstanding).
Need it OS independent? Use Java.
Contrary to what Oracle's marketing dept says, in the real world even C is more portable.
User interfaces (GUI, WEB you name it) it's great.
I have no experience with Java on a web server, but after trying to use a few GUI programs in Java, sorry, no. It's a major pain in the ass to deploy: every single program needs a specific version of Java with specific configuration oddities, and even then there's no guarantee of success. And if you manage to start the program, expect crashes, ages-long startup, insane memory use, frequent pauses or outright lockups.
It's OK for data processing, but you will need lots of compute resources compared to the same thing in C++.
In other words, it's not OK. I'd understand if it was faster to write in Java than C++ -- after all, we don't use assembly for most tasks despite it being faster -- but you make your compute task being slower for no gain.
Don't like the "hard work" involved in memory management, Use Java and restart often.
Say what? If I wanted required restarts, I'd use Windows. Sorry but "reboot/restart often" is. not. acceptable., period.
It's hard to leak any memory in Perl or Python, and it's a rare thing in C++ unless you're a doofus.
It's about time Google did something about those full screen popups which pop up every time you go to some webpage
You mean, like that shit from consent.google.com with the parent page whitened out with blocked scroll even if the consent thingy is prevented by a request policy?

That's not there in any iPhone or iPad

Is "downgrade" the proper word for switching to something better (like Windows 10 to Windows 7, or Gnome 3 to Gnome 2/MATE)?

If you can't put ram backwards, you're not strong enough.
You misspelled "hutzpah".
Organized crime gets their guns legally.

Horses are good eating too
Too bad in a lot of countries superstitious bastards banned their slaughter.

I didn't. You don't even see the damn deer get shot. Just the kid inexplicably meeting his dad.
Seriously... some venison would be nice for tomorrow's dinner, I think.
Try getting a gun yourself.
Nope, the moment you get rid of humans the tasty refuse rats thrive on in cities stops coming.

Better solution: forbid the same company to be a connectivity provider and a content seller.

If every single implementation of a concept suffers the same set of flaws, perhaps that concept isn't that good in the first place?
Yeah, but if USA and India had the majority of contestants, the bias is in their favour, and they went bad nevertheless.
On the other hand, I'm ashamed at my country that we scored best in such a piece of poo as Java. Well, at least that's not PHP...
Then don't use your real longitude but shift it by 15 degrees per every hour of time offset.
