Plenty of adult-oriented comic books out there. And I'm not talking about porn.
Comics that are on the New York Time's Best Seller's list include Sandman, Maus, Watchman, and The Dark Knight Returns.
More recently, I particularly like The Human Target, The Nice House On The Lake, and Something Is Killing The Children.
Sandman is the best of them. It's literature in comic book form.
There were also shells created for that time period that extended the capabilities of DOS. I had 4DOS, which allowed long filenames before NTFS was a thing (I think).
Can't he just stake his properties to cover his obligations? Or put up those properties as collaterals for a loan?
LOL.
Texas power problems are a purely Texas problem. They could follow the rules of the rest of the country and b part of the national grid. But they chose to cut corners and keep things cheap and privatize the profits with absurd surge pricing of electricity. Then complain that solar and wind power don't work in the cold (when they work find in much worse conditions in Canada and Antarctica). But they get what they pay/vote for.
I'm not interested in this at present, but...
Imagine taking this on trips instead of the Macbook Air you have now. Same storage space. Similar apps. But with large virtual screens and no need for a physical keyboard or mouse.
I'm not buying a first generation. But a year or two from now, I could see this cannibalize Macbook sales.
Houses are on larger plots now than they were in the 1960s.
Housing construction is apparently the one part of the economy that hasn't gotten more efficient in the last 50 years. Part of that is larger land costs. Part of that is that there are very few large housing construction companies (most employ 100 people). Part of that is the government (and private businesses) haven't priorotized pre-built fab houses. Probably a lot of other reasons as well.
Very true.
All you have to do is look at the buildings in Turkey. They had a recent earthquake. All the buildings that were built to the standard of the EU remained upright and intact. All the buildings that were built to the much more relaxed (corrupt/incomplete) Turkish standards lay in rubble. And we're talking about buildings right next to each other on a street.
Regulations are what keep businesses honest and safe. Because by the time the public finds out there's a problem, it is often too late.
Imagine a restaurant that bought a cow with a slow prion disease and kills everyone who ate the affected tissues.
Is that why the per capita murder rate is lower than many Republican state, including Texas?
Them saying "We're revoking our management product" is most likely because their lawyers said their 'all care, no responsibility' management offering actually makes them legally responsible is a very clear display that their product is inherently insecure.
And if the vendor isn't willing to take the risk, no properly educated and informed customer ever would.
This tells me that the company is done. They don't want to take the risk that their product creates, and no customer would have the capability to take on that risk.
Love my System76 Meerkats. I got two of them (many years ago) as over-powered systems to hook up to my TVs. Before Fire Sticks and Raspberry Pis were viable options.
A nice bonus was that they have built-in IR receivers.
Would certainly buy again.
I like MacOS. I freaking love my current Linux distro.
Mac hardware just works with MacOS. But Apple won't support my 12 year old laptop which is still going strong. So I installed a Linux distro on it.
I want the same opportunity on my M1 MacAir.
Keep going, Asahi people!
Except that reusing something is considered a subset of recycling.
If you were told that a bottle is being recycled and found out that it is being cleaned and reused as-is, wouldn't you consider that a perfect form of recycling it? After all, you are using 100% of the components of the bottle with minimal energy added to the system to clean it, versus the much higher energy to melt the bottle and reform it.
Agree 1000%. The danger of ChatGPT is that the answers it gives sounds right and (to some) have the appearance of authority because it was generated by a computer.
Certainly creatively focused jobs can be downsized a bit.
Need a slogan for a new food or car? Ask ChatGPT for 10 slogans and then brainstorm with those options as a starting point.
We'll still need creative people. But less of them and they can use their time more effectively.
And it's not just the color. Pantone apparently contains the definition of how the color looks in different lighting conditions and also at different angles.
At first I was disgusted that Pantone "owning" a color is even a thing. But what they own is the formulae of how a certain color will look like on certain substances and in certain lighting conditions at certain angles. *That* takes a lot of trial and error and experimentation, which is why there is no adequate open source replacement for it. They put the money down to do it, so they get the formulas they created.
A failure will not appear until a unit has passed final inspection.
