The point of stereo is better, more realistic sound reproduction. Of course, this always means there is a 'sweet spot' in the listening room, but that's sorta the point.
Whales of that magnitude pay for features I can't afford for the devs to create, and I get to play them, too. And avoid the whale in-game, of course, because they paid to win. But it's perfectly fine that they've done so. I never, ever, frequent the leaderboards in MMOS that I play. I'm there for fun, not because I'm an expert at twitch-reflex motion.
Poster children are generally illustrations of affliction, meant to inspire sympathy (and then a charitable donation.) I don't know that I have ever seen a 'poster child' where the illustrated child was an unafflicted example of virtue.
I thought that was why the 18th birthday was such a big deal. Then, when I turned 18 (in 1977) nothing different happened. I guess my nerdiness is an incurable ailment.
Maybe the airplanes should combine their waste streams so that all 'waste' is combined. Then the plastic forks will be merged in with the blue ice.' Nobody on the ground who has to deal with the fallen 'blue ice' is going to worry about a little plastic.
I bought a carton of incandescent light bulbs when the 'ban' was about to go into effect and thought I was 'covered' for awhile since compact florescent bulbs are repulsive* and burn out so soon.
But before I had even used a few of my stash of incandecents, the price of led bulbs dropped radically. Now they sell common sizes in the local thrift store at regular intervals for $1, a subsidised price because the electric utilities subsidize them by donating them to the stores.
The led bulbs draw far less current, which is good, but even better, they generate much less heat. So in the middle of the summer you're not heating the inside of your house to light it. I can see switching from incandescent to LED with the seasons so the heat side effect is taken advantage of in cold climates.
(* I can't ever, for any reason see a purpose to use CFL lamps though. If you take one apart, it isn't just the mercury vapor in the tubes. They have a circuit board with big dry electrolytic capacitors in the plastic base. That's just a filthy thing to put in a disposible and claim is 'greener' than a glass bulb with a bit of tungsten.)
I am sure almost nobody is alive to remember. Certainly not 'mainframes' which at the time did not exist.
However, what IBM did sell was a punched card system. Data was stored in 80 row fields on punched cards. There were machines for human operators to punch data on cards, machines to sort cards into bins by field, and machines to put a deck of card in to print out fields on the cards. The 'programming' was figuring out which fields on the cards to sort by, or print, etc. and was accomplished using jumper wire panels.
Punched card decks were the repository of data at the time.
And none of it could ever, under any circumstances, become public knowledge? Nobody could ever reveal anything that would allow third party bootloaders to work? Yes, there truly was 'One Apple Way.'
The IBM PC had a large ROM, too. The original had an entire BASIC interpreter in ROM, similar to what a Commodore or an Apple II had.
But the commented assembly langauge source code for the BIOS (but not the BASIC interpreter) was published for generations of IBM PC versions, at least up to the PC-AT, That was called an 'open architecture.' Apple didn't have one on the Mac. At all. You couldn't even open up the case without special tools designed to be proprietary.
Bitcoin at this point could fail on a whim, and it would be a few news articles for a week or two before it was forgotten. Not so with fiat currency as it currently exists.
That's a big difference, and it's part of the definition of what a 'currency' actually is that makes it so.
But as to your science fiction fantasies, the movie has been made, everybody enjoyed it, but it's science fiction.
It's actually an honor and privledge to be a Party member. I'm sure they have indoctrination classes for the masses, but cadre on track to become full members are not slackers.
Actually, it sounds like you had poor teachers if all they did in lecture is read from the book. If they had been good teachers who engaged their students in a learning dialect, maybe you wouldn't have had those 70 scores.
Are you gasping for air, as you flip around in the bottom of that boat? You shouldn't have struck on that fishing plug. Anybody could have told you there was a hook. Granted, you've been hooked by a master, so you didn't really stand a chance.
Autodesk bought Eagle, and now you have to pay by the month, no matter what, unless you hold an old license. It's been good for the KiCad project, though. I feel bad for the old-line Eagle devs.
Is it an article for inside your organisation? You can gurantee there is a NDA somewhere Oracle will spring on you if you relate your experience in the trade press. They are true professionals.
Yeah, it'd sure be nicer if the Democrats had won in '16 so the IRS could be the nasty mofos we all remember fondly. There are probably whole layers in the IRS org sweating bullets that their corner of the swamp will be next to be drained. The statute of limitations hasn't passed for those Obama glory years.
Still, the people who voted Dem in '16 should be eager to help the IRS take their money, for nostalgia's sake.

The thing about these boxes that is fake is the 'pay' part. That's about the limit of the deception.

Aluminum beer cans are coated inside with plastic. You are drinking from an essentially plastic container.

Only on Slashdot would we encounter somebody who is, or knows, an actual straw nerd. I mean this comment as a compliment, btw.

Yes. It's always about oppression of the 'boner.'

My grandparents didn't have indoor plumbing until about 1960. This was Minnesota.

There's no reason to be redundant.

Sounds like life in the West, except arbitrary bosses and landlords make the determination.

It also isn't one weird dude with a box truck full of strange motherboards that only have display adaptors.

Talk to a shrink about that Stockholm Syndrome. Get yourself free, man.

Wrong topic. This isn't about a company formed by a nerd like Bill Gates that grew out of control. Ellison was an evil bastard from d 1.
