black boxes are almost always recovered
Except when planes crash?
Seems the 9/11 planes' were lost too. http://911research.wtc7.net/pl...

they'd remove the blacklist completely --- and all the driver vendors would quickly fix the bugs (if there even are any).
As it is, no-one fixes the drivers because there aren't that many test cases showing the hypothetical bugs. And a good way to get those test cases would be with a frequently used app like Chromium.
By keeping the blacklist, it means those bugs they think are there will likely never be found and fixed.
But if you're in public, assume you're taped. Chances are you already are, and you just don't realize it.
This guy does an incredible performance art piece based on that idea. He walks around with a really obvious camera taking videos of people's reactions to him recording them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... Funny how with google glass - that'll be everyone.
Try to get the attention of the guys running the simulation (through prayer, sacrifice, whatever).
If it works - and they enter their debuggers to communicate back - then yup - probably a simulation.
It probably just works for a while, though, since their management will probably enact policies not to flood the worlds too often.
Why'd someone mod this as troll?
I use it; and it works great.
Still no alternative gives virtual screen bigger than real screen (scroll when mouse hits edge). Or windows occupying more than one desktop (e.g. top left part in "1", bottom right in "4").
FVWM2 does both: your world consists of multiple disjoint virtual desktops (windows can be present in multiples of them) each of which is larger than the screen. In the latter case, you can also stick windows so that they pan around with you.
But in a way that feels broken compared to TVTWM. With FVWM2 it seems you need to choose which corner of the window in that example you want to see. With TVTWM you can move the view so it's centered on that window spanning multiple desktops.
"Still no alternative gives virtual screen bigger than real screen (scroll when mouse hits edge)."
Kinda. tvtwm had it integrated nicely and cleanly so it was easy to scroll to where you want. Using X itself I get too many unintentional scrolls.
My guess is no, afterall, it's Wayland! If a feature isn't used by a majority of gamers and movie watchers it shouldn't be there. Right?
Not sure if I want to laugh or cry.
I wonder what the fines or penalties will be for NON-functioning car responders?
Probably similar to any other missing safety feature - like a broken break light, or a torn seat belt.
So are you saying that BSD gets less contributions because of its licence and that GPL'ed software gets more?
BSD historically got more total (including proprietary) contributions - but fewer contributions that were shared back.
Recall when every server vendor had their own proprietary fork of BSD (SunOS4, etc) and kept all. A lot of the top software talent was employed by those companies - making proprietary unshared contributions to BSD.
Worked fine for BSD for a while. But as the companies started keeping more and more to themselves, GPL'd alternatives (linux) passed the BSDs as the corporate sponsors died off or lost interest.
For a lot of people I think Facebook accounts really are transient ephemeral things more like colds.
Whenever when some damn website or game makes me have a Facebook account to sign up -- I make a new account with a throwaway username / password / email that I never care to remember -- and never use it again. That's why I think a lot of those "facebook has X users" or "Y% of users have abandoned facebook" are totally bogus. For just my accounts, sure I've abandoned 90% of them. But that doesn't make it fair to extrapolate that 90% of facebook accounts get abandoned. Just that some people don't want a permanent Facebook account.
TL/DR: I do get facebook accounts very much like I get mild colds. A get a new one a couple times a year; it doesn't last for more than a couple days; and they're merely mildly annoying.
