Try it with your octopus.

I'm pretty sure that any parents with young children know how this works. :-)

There are some apps that are Windows/Adroid only. In order to run them side-by-side, you need some form of virtualization. Blue Stacks, Andyroid, etc...

The trick though, is that the Android VMs for Windows require a CPU and BIOS that support virtualization. Which means to pull this off, you explicitly need to know what processor (and BIOS) is in your phone or tablet.

IT MEANS?

FAG RABBI!!

Now he gonna carve your putz, right after he KISSES THE BROWN SPIDER!

Strainers are like baskets - I aren't they all receptacles with leaks?

Actually I know shit all about "Docker" and haven't bothered to understand "application virtualization" or how it differs from "server virtualization". Let's not get to docker as a specific app virt with defined constraints and capabilities.

Hey! Let me add this piece of non-information, related to my opening statement: "colander".

Reply weeks late? Stop living in the past!

The "reactor" includes the entire system, boiler, turbines, chillers, etc... The "reactor core" is effectively the nuclear element of it. You could replace the core with a coal fired furnace and the rest of the reactor would still function largely the same (although you probably wouldn't need the triple redundant cooling systems).

Seeing as how the conversation here revolves around the nuclear aspect of the reactor, I think it's fair to say that replacing the reactor core would count ;)

Not sure if there is actually "data" for such an argument.

The USS Enterprise (1962-2012) was the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the US Navy.
1962 - refueling
1964 - refueling/upgrades
1968 - refueling
1970 - refueling/new reactor cores (10 year fuel cycles)
1980 - refueling/upgrades
1990 - refueling/upgrades

Those are just the obvious ones. There are a ton of other redacted service reports where the nuclear systems were likely refined. But this ship was not refueled only once at half it's life. It did receive new reactors less than 10 year in. And while there aren't any specific notes about other reactor replacements/upgrades, with how much of the service record isn't available to the public, it's quite possible there were other replacements as well.

Regardless of Quinn's behavior, the social reaction is the issue. I give two shits who Quinn sleeps with. But when I see the vomitus mass of vitriol spewed over any and all women in the gaming industry, I take offence.

It doesn't matter what Quinn did, she doesn't deserve death/violence/rape threats. Nobody does.

Even if she did lack journalistic integrity, it isn't a free pass for assholes to dox and harass her, nor any other women.

Let that sink in.

Skyrim's actually really popular with women. Partly because it's so fun to play

Fixed that for you. Being "open-ended and exploratory" does not make it more enjoyable for women it makes it more enjoyable for anyone who enjoys open-ended or exploratory games. Just as hardcore games are no more enjoyable for men than they are for women. Hell, my wife has ascended, how many guys do you know that have pulled that off? Women are just as capable of being hardcore gamers as men are. Unfortunately the culture of hardcore gamers has largely shunned women trying to make it in the scene, so it's no big surprise that there are less women. And while your post is a lot better than reading the rape and violence threats, you are still propagating some of the same old stereo types that were trying to break down. -Rick

Comparing Internet service in the US to other nations is mostly pointless.
 
Do you get how amusing that is, given the context?

Contextualize the observation you make, with the homo-erotic Bowie lyric in the sig. Now? Go meta, pea-brain.

I do not agree that this is a good use of public resources, part of which are mine. That's the point of having a discussion about it.

If she wants to hire a private investigator out of her own pocket, that's all well and good.

That's the thing about a democracy... it's not based on principles, it's based on unity. If you can't convince the vast number of people who agree with me, you have no right to use our tax money to finance your investigation.

I remember when SnapChat first hit the scene, thinking that such a service shouldn't exist, that it's inherently malignant in nature. Seeing these people get burned by its failure makes me happy, and I have no interest in working extra hours so I can fund a team of people to shore up what was a bad idea in the first place.

Perhaps, if you hope to see your vision of how things ought to be realized, you should stop making authoritative statements and start providing compelling arguments that take my demographics interests into account.

Old joke about a forced water "landing", said in heavy German accent, ends like this: Pilot: "Those passengers that can swim, make your way to the life rafts. Those passengers that cannot swim, thank you for flying Lufthansa airlines."

Competition brings out the least in people.

If you measure yourself against the world, you'll always have room to improve.

If you measure yourself against other men, if you're the best, you'll never reach your potential.

And, because your peers have motivation to celebrate your failures, rather than your successes, you'll actually be fighting those who should be benefiting from your achievements.

On a personal level... dealing with competitive people is too tiresome to bear. Nothing they have to offer is worth dealing with their ego driven crap.

And, you can see the idiocy in their posts here. ISPs in the states are the most "free market" in the world, and they are also among the worst. The countries that treat ISPs as critical infrastructure like roads are the ones with the fastest infrastructure, but the "free market ra ra ra" crowd are still convinced that the way to improve the situation is to move further away from what is working better elsewhere.

Now, this isn't an academic debate. When you can look around, see that other people are getting better results, and you ignore that, that is just plain stupid.
