Dumbest take ever. Xbox runs Windows. Xbox games are sold for Windows. Xbox can not be separated from Windows, period.

This legal system is a shit joke.

It's designed to fail under the weight of its own bullshit.

Microsoft will never appreciate your mod abuse, clown

Well-loved? How many people were using it? Follow the chain of links and you'll see they never actually say.

I long ago lost track of the number of times I've needed to use the command line to fix something on Windows. You weren't doing anything very complicated if you never did.

That doesn't seem to be in the Debian repository. (I don't have my Algol documentation anymore anyway, but once upon a time...)

But I meant Algol-60, which was the only version that was ever widely used.

Well, when I went looking for an Algol compiler, I didn't find it. But perhaps I just needed to look outside the repositories.

What about "Don't write your stuff while wearing a plaid shirt."?
If the rules can't be enforced honestly, they shouldn't be present. And rules against AI can't be enforced honestly unless you hold the contest in a sealed room with no remote access.

The problem is that the context of the pre-2020 works will become continuously more dated. I can't stand most Victorian fiction, even Sherlock Holmes is weak outside of the short stories. Historical fiction really needs to be written from a viewpoint assuming the current context...which means it becomes dated. And this also works, though less powerfully, in the realm of fantasy.

IIUC, the human variant of that gene (FOX P2) is NOT shared with other extant species. But it also seems true that there were lots of other changes associated with it.

Saying it "gave us our next-level language abilities", but it does seem necessary for them. I really doubt that it is sufficient. (But we could insert one into a Chimpanzee or Bonobo to check.)

Most of those people can't do shit. They will need people around them. If society really collapses then they're just more mouths to feed and those other people will kick them out of the doors of their bunkers if they're lucky. Too bad most of those people aren't smart enough to figure this out.

It might well wind up being nobody. There will be signal-hunting drones.

Thanks for tracking that down. To me that's the real news here. Reactor vessels are not the only application for this technology.

It's a dessert topping and a floor wax. This was an unusual feature of UNIX, but since then it's become the norm, albeit with everyone else inheriting it from there. You can write MS-DOS scripts with complex independent logic, you just don't want to.

I don't know that I've learned it "properly" to this day, but I can thank The UNIX Programming Environment for making me basically capable. (I believe that my paper copy is a later edition than this...)
