It also requires specific OS support.
So do USB Mass Storage, and FAT32, or if you want more than 64GB to work with Windows 7 and later, ExtFS.
And unlike ExtFS, MTP support is standard on any modern platform in common use.
All he does is pushing corporate interests with the money he "earned" exploiting a monopoly.
Before he got into health issues, I'd agree - mostly he invested in pushing developing countries towards using Windows PCs for education. But more recently he's investing a lot into healthcare issues that are important to the developing world, and without his money, unprofitable for the drug cartels to research.
Fortunately I got mine issued in those last couple of months before they went RFID, but my wife's renewal is RFID-equipped so we had to get a faraday cage sleeve for it. Mine will expire soon enough that I'll probably also have to get a faraday cage sleeve soon.
You do realise that the information on the RFID chip in your passport is the same information that is in the passport, encrypted, and to decrypt it, you need the passport number and name, so you're going to need to have seen the inside of the passport already?
I blame human nature.
Is it though? Or are some humans allowing their nature to be influenced a little too much by Fox News?
I expect the predominant use pattern for editors (in a console) is to be fired up to quickly to edit a file, save and exit, e.g. to commit files in source control. Longer term activity has moved out to the desktop and editors / IDEs running there - the likes of Eclipse, Notepad++, Sublime Text, Gedit etc.
And since that was an issue with Emacs around 20 years ago, emacsclient exists, to load the file into an already running instance of Emacs, but otherwise act as a console editor is expected to (hanging around until the edit is finished). But on any modern machine, Emacs starts pretty much instantly with a warm cache, and in a couple of seconds at most with a cold cache, so starting Emacs for a quick edit really isn't the issue you think it is any more.
Or if you work on projects with different coding styles, use a
((nil . ((tab-width . 4)
(c-line-comment-starter . "// ")))
(c-mode . ((c-file-style . "bsd")
(c-basic-offset . 4))))
PS: where's the help link that tells you what "allowed HTML tags" are for Slashdot comments? I'm sure there used to be one, and I'm sure you used to be able to format code properly.
