    How do I know I can trust the auditor. It's not that different from trusting Lastpass at some point

  3. Like you have been told in the other subthread, even if you did audit Keepass this does not help you at all unless you only use selfcompiled binaries. (And did you audit the compiler too?)

    keepass with cloud solutions is the same thing the file itself is encrypted and depending on what cloud service you use it can be too to different degrees so why switch? keepass is used and imported by many programs and all platform that ive seen.

    You don't have to switch but I sure as hell am not going to explain a keepass solution to my mum.

    My car has "climate" controls; not "weather" controls.

    A car has neither and the designers chose a metaphor. It's irrelevant

    changes. If I wanted always summer I'd go to the Venezula, or if I wanted always winter I'd go to Canada. I like - I WANT - the climate to change! If God had wanted it any other way it would not happen!

    You want the weather to change.

    Someone else mentioned "autonomous" mining equipment and I asked for a link, but got none so far. I suppose the existing equipment does what you say (drill if you tell it where to) but is far from autonomous and needs to be maintained by humans. Well I'm no expert but it does seem far fetched on Mars

    So what are the technical hurdles that would need to be overcome for there to be actual mining with robots? Doing some quick googling I see that Komatsu and CAT and a few others offer fully autonomous mining solutions. Are those just bullshit and don't work as advertised?

    Link to these full solutions please? On Komatsu website I only find autonomous components.

    Otherwise: maintenance, sheer mass to get to Mars?

    Hint: Replace the words "mining robot" with "mining RPV".

    Realistically, we're not talking autonomous mining robot, we're talking remote controlled mining equipment. Sort of like what we use on Earth, but with a longer delay between command and response.(...)

    Hint: The delay is completely impractical

    Wow that's stupid

  14. I'd assume that a text formatted cell shouldn't be doing that, yet it was.

    I see, then my first reply was premature, because I had not seen it doing this all my life. I tried it today with Excel 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016. In no instance did it do what your wrote, i.e., remove the comma in a text-formatted box, and the default autocorrect rules don't have any rule that looks like they would do this, either. So I guess maybe you experienced a bug that has been fixed, your had some weird custom autocorrect rule enabled, or it may have had something to do with unusual region settings (which of course affect how Excel treats dot, comma, and semicolon - and over time I saw a bunch of bugs which only happen for some region settings).

  15. That's not autocorrect, that's cell format. Learn to use/change it, it's Excel 101
    (And autocorrect can be turned off as well)

  16. RTFS, this has nothing to do with secure boot.

    There actually was a French version of that series which seemingly got lost in the mists of time. Only one fragment exists.

    French TV was a co-producer and some scenes were re-shot with french actors according to Wikipedia:

  19. Yeah, and *describing* how this works does not make cultural hegemony a "Communist theory to manipulate the thoughts" as the AC wrote to who I replied.

  20. I can't understand half of what he is saying, but from what I do I fail to see what this has to do with making the observation that a powerful ruling class can shape the norms of what is culturally acceptable or how the fact that Facebook necessarily does fit this observation makes them communist.

  21. Indeed communist: Cultural hegemony is a Communist theory to manipulate the thoughts, culture and morality of the multi cultural society in order to make the parties (in this case it's Facebook) the only accepted world view among the public.

    Having one single thing in common with certain theories held by certain communists definitely does not make one a communist. That's like saying Facebook is like my mum because she, too, has an internet connection.

    Besides, you are misunderstanding the concept of cultural hegemony in Marxist and post-Marxist theory. It's mainly an observation of how things in fact work in society, which you could have known by skimming the first paragraph of your link. That some theorists also recognized that it may be turned around as a weapon was inevitable. Either notion is not particularly limited to communism and in time would have been recognized by any number of people of different political leanings, it just happens that Marx was quick to see it as with quite many other properties of modern capitalist societies.

  22. Communist, really?
