Don't forget... They didn't build the A-10 and decide to put the GAU-8 in it - they took the GAU-8 and gave it wings. It's hard to beat that kind of focused purpose.

Does this mean there's some sort of hardware ID magic that happens when you use an OEM copy, or is this saying you must have an OEM copy for the tool to work?

Shame you can't make an image of MS' activation servers, too, because that's the problem.

The kind of car I drive doesn't even "shift."

Well, so it has engaged, engaged-reverse, and disengaged. Doesn't count.

What is "heel-toe?"

I'd prefer they shipped uBlock Origin instead, far lighter and works just as well.

No, DICE. I will not watch your videos. I don't care how long (or short) they are.

I think eventually, yes. Just as we are not able to sense the vast majority of EM radiation, we mapped the spectrum and can sense most of it - and all we started with was detection of radiative heat and visual light.

I do think it would have taken much longer to arrive at the understandings we currently hold, but I don't think being able to see visible light was critical to arrive where we are. We would come up with ways to communicate and think about information with the senses we had.

We would still be able to sense radiative heat, so I don't think not having vision would be enough to blind us (heh) to the presence of light (as light is just a different wavelength of electromagnetic radiation).

Why would they scrape messages they create?

That's a lot of unecessary text... but this had me rofl: "the first person to ask for an RSS feed gets a free black hole in their junk"

How does one take a selfie of someone else? A self portrait is, by definition, a portrait you take of yourself.

Rotate the graph in your mind 90-degrees counter-clockwise.

I'm pretty sure you understood what was said, and are choosing to act otherwise.

Tell me... how's that sucrose crystal diet working out for you?

The problem with AMD drivers (at least when I last tried) is they work great for some cards, and others hardly do anything beyond instigate kernel panics.
