What do you think will happen if climate change leads to less fresh water being available, or arable land starts shrinking? While bad in itself, you don't think events such as those will lead to war?
Even if the human race can cope well with potential climate change, you will still get wars. So the worst case scenario is both problems due to climate change and wars.
So by combating potential climate change we might be able to prevent drought/famine and war at the same time.
stifling competition
Don't you mean buying the competition?
And sea level rise has been going on for 12,000 years since the last ice age
Weird, here in Scandinavia it's the land that have risen since the last ice-age. Because you know, 3000 meter thick ice weighs quite a lot and pressed the land down, and the land is now (still) rebounding.
I wonder how hard it would be for all the older games that run in DOSbox?
Doesn't many old DOS-era games from gog.com come with DOSBox? Shouldn't be too hard to move from one DOSBox installation to another?
You're supposed to have both "Developers who do Ops" and "Ops guys who develop" in one team to do "DevOps"
Si the idea is to take good (hopefully) programmers and make then into mediocre (at best) operation guys, and take the operation guys and make them into mediocre (at best) developers?
Somehow that doesn't really sound like a good idea to me. Wouldn't it be better if you have good developers doing development, and good operation guys doing operation stuff?
I don't know about operations, but we all seen what happens when mediocre developers are let loose on a code-base.
The biggest news from that panel was, IMO, that Chris Roberts said that Star Citizen will be coming to Linux.
Didn't they do some experiment like that in Russia or something? Locked some people into a confined space for several months, without any real contact with the world outside. Or was it only on the planning stage? I don't remember.
It seems to be more and more common these days: One group demanding their right to free speech, and then use that free speech to demand that another group should not be allowed free speech.
Who knows -- by 9.x maybe it'll even be as usable as 7 again.
Well it will seem pretty innovative when they release version 9.5, but the big mainstay will be version 9.8 second edition.
Never heard of Ren'Py before. Its scripting language kind of reminds me of Inform 7.
When they mention "gas" in the summary, I don't think they mean "gasoline" but natural gas.
You're calling the Poetic Edda Anglo-Saxon? Also, there was only one poetic Edda, the other Edda was the Prose Edda, which wasn't Anglo-Saxon either.
It didn't go so well the last time we went there.
I'm sure the hundreds of thousands of seamen from the Philippines will like this news.
Happiness is a hard disk.
