I think this is because in the olden days having CRLF meant being able to dump a raw text file to a printing device. Unix had a tty driver that could handle adding the missing CR. CP/M and DOS didn't have any such thing. That doesn't mean I haven't spent 20+ years being annoyed by CRLF though.

Arrr matey, it doesn't remain to be seen if the music can be pirated, if an audio track can be heard it can be copied.

It might be very valuable for treatment if the condition didn't come as a mystery and a surprise. It also raises the question of testing in the early stages of fetal development and abortion being used by "carrier" couples to select for lower risk children. I honestly have no idea of what the ethical choices are there but I would lean towards multiple tries if it meant bringing a child to term that doesn't have such a high probability of suffering in its future.

we're generally more willing to believe a tragedy was accidental and not the result of systemic problems between the police and a particular community when it was accidental and not the result of systemic problems between the police and a particular community.

Young and old we all hate fast internet connections the way seals hate fish.

That's the first thing I thought of. Finally something people can use for Gene Wolfe cosplay ;)

probably a net increase in arable land for canada and siberia as northern growing seasons lengthen, might lose some fox pelt resources when the tiles flip to green though.

Maybe Ramadan style fasting has benefits as well, perhaps even unrelated to spirituality but the study was about " periods of no food for two to four days at a time over the course of six months ", not sunup to sundown for a month.

they might not be in favor of shipping oil by rail either, but that's what's happening because of them.

It is a trade off, lead lined suits to visit the grave but the flowers you leave last so much longer!

Legal drugs aren't made in jungles or unsanitary conditions regardless of any intoxicating property. This is actually one of the arguments for legalizing recreational drugs, e.g. people buying weed in Colorado are far less likely to buy weed that has been sprayed with toxic chemicals like pesticides.

10 billion specialty business applications beg to differ. Mission critical visual basic will keep Microsoft relevant for years to come.

back in the early 80's I worked at U-Haul and we had hitches that strapped on to car bumpers, the trailer lights were handled by attaching wires to the car's rear lights.

Today's cars are better in many ways but they don't have bumpers you can pull a trailer with.

The econobox type cars I use for commuting now can't pull trailers at all.

you don't need a dog but you do need dog crap.

In Canada mortgage interest isn't tax deductible so there is more incentive to pay down the principle. It isn't buying homes from cash on hand but it is a little different from the American environment.

If I was an American I might still have a mortgage because it would have made relatively more sense to invest money other ways than it would to pay down my mortgage.

As a Canadian paying down my mortgage had a relatively low ROI but it was risk free and I wasn't giving up any tax exemptions. Canada doesn't allow people to walk away from mortgages and only lose the house either, so that part of the risk equation is different.
