The stock exchange is a zero-sum game, at least in the short term. Contrary to popular views, no profits of the company being sold, nor even dividents granted to shareholders, inject any money into stock exchange -- they change only the perceived valuation of shares, and the only new money comes from the Ponzi effect.

And in a zero-sum game, if someone is skimming, everyone else loses.

I'd expect the most populist countries to start banning real meat no later than 10-20 years after fake meat is introduced.

So eat your meat while you still can.

Not in the US, where they abuse procedural rules to make horse meat effectively illegal.

If your UPS dies, a suspended machine is screwed just the same. There's rather little point in suspending a server: even ones that are off outside business hours are better off hibernating rather than suspending.

Then what about massive subsidies for coal and oil industries?

Let me know when every single power plant, every car is required to collect its waste and deposit it for storage. Only then you can call it equal.

To do that, the attacker would also need to be able to intercept mail sent towards the real person. You can sign a key without using mail, but that's not what is done during usual keysigning, and asking an innocent person to do so would raise a suspicion. Yeah, intercepting mail is possible if you're resourceful enough, especially without DANE, but that's quite a hoop to jump through. This usually implies an organization, and with that resources, it's simpler for the attacker to find a bunch of shadier people to sign that fake key.

And in this case, the fake key has zero signatures whatsoever. If it had any, they would either be a blob of also-fake unconnected keys, or someone proving his guilt this way.

How come? Both old-style threading and old libc are entirely user-space, and work just fine on new kernels. Linus is pretty adamant about not breaking userspace, even ancient syscalls.

Stuff that doesn't work is limited to eg. 2.2 ipchains (replaced by iptables in 2.4), devfs and the like.

Like all proper planets (ie, Pluto and the ilk excluded), Jupiter consists of a ball of rock and some atmosphere. It just happens that Jupiter's atmosphere is extreme, consisting of 86-96% of the planet's mass. Yet, being gas, you can't tell where it starts and ends.

Saying that these stars touch each other is like saying Jupiter's diameter is comes at some random point within its atmosphere. Both include a large amount of very sparse gas, with boundaries being fuzzy.

Problems that were staged by Putin's own special forces. Litvinenko is a hero of Snowden's calibre, yet somehow data he brought up isn't widely known.

And even more, even if Janukovych were the ruling president, he would not have the right to request foreign troops, as that prerogative belongs only to the Supreme Council. But hey, Russia never cared much about validity of their excuses for invasion. And remember: they used the very same excuse on 1939-09-17 when invading Poland.

No, otherwise they wouldn't go on massive slaughter-fests. An animal PETA gets its hands on has an 84% chance of getting murdered within 24 hours.

Full stop. Your conditional clause is unnecessary and wrong here. As much as we need IPv6, the TLD diarrhoea should never have been allowed to happen.
