  1. Re: older generations already had a term for this on New Book Describes 'Bluffing' Programmers in Silicon Valley (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The PIC10F200 has 16 bytes of RAM and 256 bytes of program memory.

    It makes up for this by being totally stand-alone with a built-in clock, costing about fifteen cents in volume and coming in a 6 pin package the size of a grain of rice.

    That was in 2008. Get with the times. Those years are over.

    If Hillary was President, right now we would at this point be looking at three or maybe a low four digit casualty count in the ground war in Syria. (The globalist neo-con/libs really really really want that natural gas pipeline across Syria. There's some fuming going on behind closed doors)

    It's not 'our' fucking business to prevent peace from breaking out in Korea. It's for the Korean people to decide.

    I can't believe it's even necessary to have to say this.

  5. I live out on a county highway. There is some light pollution from a neighbor who has a floodlight by his garage, but there is mostly pure dark when I step outside at night. And coyotes howling in the distance sometimes. And occasionally the local owl hoots.

    Their new 'island' is a few heavy seastorms away from being a reef again. The sea is very unforgiving, and time is on it's side.

    Seoul is his own people. The civil war is to wind down. Koreans killing Koreans is the old way.

    All the armchair generals here, and all over the US when it comes to Korea, fail to acknowledge that it is a Korean issue for Koreans to resolve.

    One of the really big breakthroughs is Kim's willingness to negotige with the South Korean president directly. For many, many years the North Korea refused to acknowledge the South Korean government as anything more than a US controlled puppet. The NK side for years always referred to south Korea with a lower case 's'.

    This is the time for Koreans on both sides of the line on the map to make change, if they can. One thing I have been disappointed about is the lack of attention to how the people in the north are reacting.

    Get a Samsung Galaxy J3. They are under $200 and capable. I have seen variants for under $100. It's the 'second world' Samsung Galaxy, targeted for places like India, but available everywhere.

    Most of us want an Android phone.

    Your fantasies otherwise might amuse you, but they're just fantasies.

    Our phones suck. I mean really, really suck. There's no way I'm going to spend big money on them. At least, not until they get "normal" for the overall PC industry.

    The sad truth, though, is that the PC industry is getting to be more like the phone industry. Not the reverse.

    Long distance highways should be for passenger travel. Long haul truck drivers should get jobs on the railroad.

  12. Bacteria don't have a sense of aesthetics to find anything 'tasty.'

  13. Hunters are to blame for the replacement of indigenous species with hunter-preferred species. The white-tail deer is an example. A species like the rat that hovers around human population centers They have taken over in areas where there were previously other species*. Because 'da hunter' wants them. Then the white-tail deer become overpopulated and wipe out the native trees and plant species. So 'da hunter' comes back on the scene to be noble and all that shit and 'rescue nature.'

    (*in the boundary waters in Northern Minnesota, there used to be Caribou. Now there are white-tailed deer.)

  14. The Mosaic team ran off to California to get rich.

  15. Mosaic is in pkgsrc and I can build a modern binary with a single make command.

  16. If YouTube wants to be less interesting, it's their perogative to do so. My seven year old nephew watches a lot of it. It's safer for him to do so now. Also, YouTube is becoming something he will outgrow in a few years. Much the same way Facebook is where your aunt can keep up with what you're doing.

    A phone with real updates that work, from a company that stands behind it could kill Android and take the market share that Apple doesn't want (the part that won't pay a premium for the chic-boutique, namely, 'the rest of us'.)

    Apple has for decades defined themselves by 'owning' the top 'slice' of the market, and don't want the rest of us. If Microsoft can solve the Android security problem, with the Upgrade infrastructure they have built on Windows 10, they could own the market again.

    Probably not gonna happen, but interesting to ponder.

    It allows the customer, and any cracker who can get that deep into the hardware, to break the irreversible fuse. Not necessarily a good thing to have lurking, by default, in every copy of the hardware. There should be an additional non-reversible fuse option, that disables all the other irreversible fuses.

  22. All new games released from this point will probably patch your Switch for you.
