Let's get turbo encabulated!
No idea on the men-vs-women thing.
But it seems absolutely crazy for the DRMed media sales industry to remind people that their media could Just Work and be normal, instead of requiring specific proprietary players (a different one for each media source). They shouldn't even mention piracy, because that just plants the seed that people could instead have standard format files, where things are much more convenient than the awkward situation with DRMed media.
If we want people to just accept that things are shitty and must always remain shitty, then it's probably best to not encourage people to think about the topic at all. Shhhh! Don't bring it up, and pretend that the idea of a convenient media library, where users have the choice to use whatever player software that they want on whatever device that they want, simply doesn't exist at all.
This still doesnâ(TM)t seem right. It should not be the burden of the accused to deal with the false accusation. Lots of stupid nonsense takes 5 minutesâ¦and guess what? More and more of everyoneâ(TM)s day should not be taken up by stupid nonsense. The point may be strengthened by pointing out that driving is a privilege requiring various responsibilities, not a right, but that still seems weak.
You know, posting to Slashdot is a privilege too, not a right. So please put that iPhone away
The Dutch way: Never pay more than you have to!
Indeed.
May we have one lemonade with 3 straws?
No idea why all these morons thing AI is somehow an "entity". It clearly is not.
And even if it was sentient, it was clearly working for the airline. So the airline should assume responsibility for its bad advice, the same way they would (should) if one of their live agents gave bad advice.
I almost ejected from my toilet because my ass made a seal and the internal air pressure built up.
Looks like this was not so much due to there being beans on the burrito, but more about its overall size, and the size of all the burritos before it: a lean person's ass makes no seal with a standard bowl.
That and "do you always shit with the seat up?" or the "beans" would simply have vented through the gap between seat and bowl.
We still have the meteor or 'falling star' that is supposed to hit the earth and take out a third of the land of the planet and turn a third of the waters to wormwood.
Has already happened: falling star = nuclear fallout
I lost a lot of weight after reading "The Hackers Diet" He was a real help to me.
This reminds me of how in the 1980s, things like FPUs and MMUs were separate chips. Do you want an 80387 with your 80386? Do you want a 68851 with your 68020? But then the newer CPUs just came with that stuff.
Even if 90% of the machines sold over the next few years never use it (think of how many 80386 chips were running MS-DOS as a "fast 8086" and never went into protected mode), it's nice that on the software side you'll eventually be able to expect it. In 1988 you couldn't assume floating point was fast for everyone, but by 1998 you could.
"....how the hell do I stop him?"
Stop fetching resources from his servers. He can't track you, if you stop giving him the data to do it.
little-endian, please
Endianness is irrelevant for character (one-byte) data.
Even though some republiturds wish he was...
1 + 1 = 3, for large values of 1.
