"Even if there were good reasons to use DST...However, there are no good reasons"

Sez you. As I get older and my night vision gets worse, I appreciate more and more having another hour of daylight in the evening. But I don't appreciate having my mornings in the dark. Keeping sunrise more or less at the same time over the course of a year requires Daylight Saving Time.

Didn't that get abandoned six years ago?

Unless it dies first, it will eventually become impossible to mine Bitcoin at all. There's a built-in ceiling of 21 million, after which mining operations will not yield any Bitcoins at all (actually, because of the way the Bitcoin algorithms round, production of Bitcoin should come to a complete halt when there is just short of 21 million).

They have one use: They can make you look like you're located somewhere else. This is particularly useful when you want to access something that will block you if you use a local IP address. Granted, this is a rather overcomplicated way to get a proxy address, but it's the easiest way to do it for a lot of people.

And there's nothing as temporary as a permanent solution. There's no better way than spending man-years to ensure the extensibility and modularity of a project to guarantee that it will all be discarded in a few years.

Finally, a text editor for the Wizarding World. Harry Potter will be elated.

...do you play chess *without* using your mind?

Yep. Because a 4% unemployment rate is the same thing as a 25% unemployment rate.

"Sheer, absolute boredom!"

But its not inferring anything. Its just saying "Somethings supposed to be there but we have no fucking idea what!"

That is most certainly inferring something. You are inferring that something is supposed to be there. It's a pretty well-grounded inference, but it's still an inference, not an observation.

He's in for a long, hard term.

Nah, man, Dick Grayson. Everybody loves Batman!

"Kim Davis was a pretty good example of this sort of thing happing on a scale that gained nationwide media attention. Being told you can't get married once it's the law of the land is something the news picks up on."

I can't come up with any evidence that Oregon's drug legalization was sabotaged. So, here, have this entirely unrelated incident in a completely different state!

The question is: does it need to talk to Microsoft's servers to run, like Office 365? If it does, then "no support"="no software". The article makes it fairly clear that the "consumer" version doesn't, but I can't figure out if this "LTSC" crap does.

You can already emulate the whole z architecture on a Linux PC: http://www.hercules-390.org./ It puts almost zero load on the PC, so, yeah, if you were insane enough you could probably do it in a browser.
