The reason why it's so think may be because its folding radius is actually much bigger than they want to make it seem. So when it folds in, it actually takes which a bit of space inside the device.

Net PC was not from Sun. I should I know, I worked for them during that era. What they had was JavaStation, which was a neat idea but ahead of its time. That concept is now realised by the Chromebook. Net PC was a Compaq thing, if I recall correctly. However, Wikipedia tells me it was Oracle, so perhaps the Compaq device was called something else.

Would a flat earther believe in relativity though? If simple geometry eludes them, what would they do when being faced with a Lorentz transformation?

It's highly likely that they already have your phone number. Most Facebook users happily share their address book with them, and as long as any of them has your phone number, they will trivially link it to you.

That is actually an interesting question. Is it possible for a US court to force an individual to break the law in a foreign country? I'd hope the answer is no, but this is the US we're talking about some you never know.

I have a similar story. One of our major customers were hosting their entire email infrastructure on a single Sun server (it wasn't even a particularly powerful one, it was a 4 CPU machine if I remember correctly).

They then decided to hire a new IT manager from Microsoft and the first thing he did was to decide to move it all to MS Exchange. They needed 50 machines to handle the same load. With all machined having a hot spare, they ended up with 100 machines to replace one.

Sure there is: Wikipedia

That said, places like Google and Facebook already make it very hard to access their services even withouth client certificates. Have you tried just doing a google search via Tor lately?

I think a better way to think about it is that the available money in a system represents (or should represent) the total amount of value that exists in a given system. The "value" can be somewhat difficult to define, since it includes everything that humans would consider "valuable". Of course, this can change such as when aluminium went from being more valuable than gold to being a disposable commodity. It also includes intangibles such as the consulting services I'm doing for a local business.

In other words, the total amount of a currency is the market cap for the country or region where that currency is used.

The problem with bitcoin's fixed amount of coins is that the total share of the economy represented by one coin is fixed at one 21-millionth. Simple maths tells us that if this ratio is fixed, then the value of a single coin needs to follow the total value of the system. This means that an economy based on bitcoin will be in a state of perpetual deflation as long as the economy grows.

Thinking about what a society looks like if you have constant deflation is left as an exercise to the reader.

The software stated going down the drain before the hardware did. The height of OSX was around 10.5 or maybe 10.6. The height of hardware was around 2011.

If you really want Photoshop, then the best solution for you is probably to get a good Linux laptop, and then have a VM with Windows 7 dedicated to Photoshop. Once Win7 is out of support, you can just remove all network connectivity to the VM and stick with the last version.

Or, you could perhaps use Windows 10 in a VM. If all you use it for is Photoshop, then perhaps it could be bearable?

I've read the sentence you quoted multiple times, and I still can't see anything wrong with it. Perhaps you are unaware of the expression "jumping through hoops"?

In Singapore, most of electric power comes from fossil fuel plants, so electric cars are much less environmentally friendly compared to places which use more renewables or nuclear.

They have that in a few places in Singapore and it's not a very nice view: https://www.google.com.sg/maps...

I think there is a reason why they're not doing more of it.

I live in Singapore and I own a car.

You can go and buy a car and drive away with it immediately. The resellers buy the licenses (COE) and include it with the car when you buy it.

This makes the cars incredibly expensive, of course, but as long as you have the money it's not a problem. If you want to see just how crazy expensive cars here are, take a look at the main web site for buying cars: http://www.sgcarmart.com/main/...

Unicode support is completely broken on XP, and having to work around that to get decent text rendering must be a nightmare.
