Well, yea, it was practically impossible to find DDR2 in any size larger than 2GB for desktop systems and laptops, which made any machine running DDR2 effectively garbage for upgrading to modernish-standards since a huge chunk of them only ever shipped with two memory slots on the motherboard.
Both of those coming straight out of Universities. The first link is almost TWENTY FUCKING YEARS OLD.
I mean, it literally takes two seconds to type this shit into Google and find dozens of cited reports, and there are probably HUNDREDS more, many of them done by REAL RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS.
"Except nobody has ever died from glyphosate. The company tries to kill negative press about "glyphosate causing cancer" because it's bullshit that has been debunked again and again."
Glyphosate does cause cancer - just not by itself since it is generally unavailable for our bodies to properly absorb. Once you add in the other surfactants (all of these chemicals by themselves are generally relatively non-toxic and non-carcinogenic) toxicity jumps anywhere from 2 to 3 orders of magnitude, because they make the glyphosate much more readily bioavailable.
"Stupid thing is that simply adding extra copies of genes already in wheat you can boost yields by between 15-20% in a greenhouse (obviously not tested in a field yet)"
We've already had this tech - it's called Colchicine and we've used it for DECADES on many various crops, from watermelon to cannabis.
This is why you rip off Charter in a different way - double connections for the price of one.
Because their techs are too stupid, go one month with the low-tier internet + phone package. They give you a crappy large modem. Next month, just upgrade the internet to maximum speed. They'll have to send another tech to your place 'because that old phone modem can't handle the speed of the full connection,' so they install another modem JUST FOR THE INTERNET. It has no phone plugs on it. You'd expect a new phone modem.
Well, you still the have phone service - so they never bother with deprovisioning your phone modem. It's still hooked up.
But guess what? That phone modem DOES handle their maximum speed. Now you're sitting here with two IP addresses, and two (back then) 100mbit/20mbit lines for the price of one + phone service.
"64bit Windows XP and Windows versions prior to XP are not supported."
Okay, This malware is known to work on Windows 2K3 Server - this should work on 64-bit XP by extension since it's almost-entirely the exact same codebase and kernel and driver model.
This malware works on Windows XP 32-bit, which means that likely Windows 2000 is equally vulnerable as XP uses the Win2K Kernel and codebase (in fact they were both affected by almost all the exact same attacks. Anyone remember BLASTER?)
Half of the performance issue is 100% your fucking fault for being incompetent at enforcing updates, so you work on that first before you go pointing the blame elsewhere, assholes.
Flupirtine isn't an option because of bad liver function caused by my accident. Thanks for reminding me that existed, though, I should try recommending that to my mother and her doctor, since she has good liver function, doesn't drink, and uses Kratom instead of other opiates to control a lot of back and neck pain. A dose of that once every couple of weeks when she has a flare-up that kratom doesn't control should not be detrimental.
Simply put, we'd need our technology to advance by 3 orders of magnitude more than it already is to keep pace with the exponential influx of data that builds up as you have to keep sending data to ALL the decentralized peers, and that gets worse as more and more peers participate in the 'database.' The infrastructure alone that's required to support that kind of growth simply doesn't exist and can't be built out, which is why everything moved right back to having centralized locations.
What's old is new, and people still refuse to learn from history.
"A good way to tell who is clueless and who isn't is to see whether they're claiming solar panels use rare earth metals. (They don't.)"
Yttrium-substitituted TiO2 anodes are developed and in use. Try again when you actually have worked in a modern and up to date semiconductor fabrication facility, n00b.
Plenty of businesses operate in the red for years starting at inception, and then get into the black. Tesla is doing literally no differently than most other successful companies.
" the more they have to spend to support existing vehicles on the road"
Uhhh, nope. Plenty of places like fast food joints and gas stations are putting in electrical charging stations for EVs, on their own dime.
The McDonald's down the street from me has a PV covered parking structure, with four EV chargers. Hell, the entire building is almost entirely solar-powered, the only thing that isn't are the gas-based deep fryers.
"You pass a drug screening by not doing drugs for a few weeks."
That doesn't work for those of us who require medical cannabis for pain management. Let's see you attempt going one week in my condition without it, let alone three.
Can't take opiates because of allergies.
Can't have 'caine'-class painkillers because they cause heart arrhythmia in me.
Prior research into sea cone snail venom toxins had to stop because the species that produced the compound of interest was endangered.
If you think naproxen/ibuprofen/aceteminophen/aspirin even stands a chance against chronic neurological post-operative pain, you're deluded.
"Storage isn't getting larger/cheaper at that rate any more. Sounds like someone needs to fix the "you need the entire history of the world's financial transactions" problem next."
Won't happen, can't happen. Idiots still haven't learned the problems experienced in the 70s regarding permissionless distributed databases. Rather, people aren't teaching them because they (foolishly) ignored mathematical proofs, then actual demonstration.
It simply cannot scale with technology and human transactions.
And it's repeating that history as evidenced by this fork (which STILL isn't good enough, the short-sighted idiots.)
You've apparently not downloaded and used the application and evaluated its full set of features (not all are advertised) either on mobile or desktop. Otherwise, you'd realize just how wrong you are on almost every single point.
"there are far more online retailers than there are online marketplaces that allow independent parties to list their goods with minimal effort and investment"
This is patently bullshit and I can spy about 3,000 apps (not including websites, JUST apps) for this exact fucking purpose...
Helps that I know how to search in multiple languages. Do you?

"We paid, they built, and now we've grown our usage"
Uhh, they did not deliver. minimum household speed was to be 25 mbit, MINIMUM by now. We've still got DSL packages that don't even come close.
And you rarely can get close to that on current wireless cellular networks.
They bilked us and did all kinds of legal trickery to make it legal.
"very very few DDR2 machines"
Well, yea, it was practically impossible to find DDR2 in any size larger than 2GB for desktop systems and laptops, which made any machine running DDR2 effectively garbage for upgrading to modernish-standards since a huge chunk of them only ever shipped with two memory slots on the motherboard.
"Which is not a thing that violates antitrust law."
But could actually violate Magnusson-Moss anti-tying provisions.
"I buy it because it's a shortcut to confirming that a food product is all-natural."
You've been mislead by marketing bullshit and you'd better go re-read the entirety of the USDA certification for Organic status.
Because plenty of non natural things are allowed.
No evidence? Do you even subscribe to scientific journals or just even use Google Scholar?

We paid for that giving out hundreds of billions in tax breaks over the years.
Uhh, yea, those same companies subject to the 1996 TC act are almost always also the owners of the wireless carriers, once you folow the money.
So we already paid. They need to own up and provide.

Really? Both of my white neighbors work at Amazon.
"And again, it really isn't hard to beat the enzyme pre-employment tests. It just takes a couple of weeks of having some self-control"
Or just grab a bottle (Canadian version) of Urine Luck and you can pass immediately (they don't watch you when you piss in the cup.)

You must be a really cruddy coder to not be able to take advantage of what's called 'base instruction set.'
It's like you've never really made embedded hardware before.
No they're not, they're RISC cores implementing part of the x86 architecture and additional featuresets.
x86 !=RISC
