That's a shame, I wonder if they fixed it by Warp - I ran that on off-the-shelf components back in 1995 and it was awesome. It could run Windows in a Window no problem, even games would run fine.

I was sad when it died, it was a number of years before I saw another OS handle running an OS within an OS as gracefully as Warp.

Our service may automatically delete a piece of data you upload

That implies block-level dedupe, it'll be looking at chunks, doesn't matter if the files themselves are encrypted or not.

He's describing deduplication; an established technology - widely used at file system level and in enterprise storage/backup products - and in which hash collisions are a known risk which is mitigated in various ways.

"TL;DR: the data's probably deduplicated."

I've thought about this quite a lot. We would likely not have been able to get a meaningful foothold on this planet had the dinosaurs not been wiped out.

As we explore space, we may find life isn't particularly unusual, but it might also be the case that the dominant forms of life tend to trend towards those of the "big angry reptile" variety.

A valid point, with one caveat: everybody can perceive frame rates faster than 30.

I can't watch the video right now, but I can point out that the militia mentioned in the constitution isn't defined as simply a bunch of civilians with guns - it's defined as being both well regulated and necessary for the security of the state.

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

It's not about overthrowing the government, dumbass, it's about defending it.

They're also not routinely used to commit massacres.

1,344,130,000 in 2011.

Pretty big number... so big we can round down - dropping the equivalent of the entire population of the United States - and nobody bats an eye.

I have a feeling you're wrong - funerals are for the living, not the dead.

Were you forced to endure them spewing their hate at a service for one of your deceased loved ones, you may find these opinions change.

There's noting on any rival mobile platform which is remotely competitive with Garageband or iMovie on iOS.

Maps was a huge mistake, but to say they're incapable of making competitive apps is selling them short.

That argument is specifically about guns, not bombs.

Take everyone who agrees with the statement "civilians should be allowed to carry concealed handguns on planes," then replace the word 'handguns' with 'explosives' and see how support plummets.

That's a shame, between making music, editing video and photos, web browsing, social networking, media streaming, writing and gaming, I seem to get a lot of use out of mine.

So how long do you think it will be before people like me realise they suck, roughly? There's a lot of people going to be in for a big disappointment on that day.
