William Shatner is a classically trained Shakespearean actor who appeared in festivals and on Broadway prior to switching from stage to television. His TOS enunciation and emphasis is due mostly to his experience with radio performances (which were over the top verbally) combined with directors on TOS constantly telling him to increase the astonishment. And in reality, wasn't anywhere near as pervasive or dramatic as the pop culture version that pokes fun at Kirk.

If you want to but hookers, you better try the darkside of Facebook I'm vanilla baby

but what would be nice is a verision of wine or crossover that actually played the games on the wine list. Directx implementations ontop of opengl or vulkan aren't actually complicated so why complicate it more than it's worth, that's stay on staff for you, never bother to finish what they have started and always want to start another one. clean clear cut, what was the renaissance of pc gaminging on linux under wine, directx 8, 9 , 10 or 11

being disabled i've had to rely upon 1000s of miles of shakes pony, but this is coming to an end and I'm looking at getting myself a motor vehicle.
What first I must consider is the gas milage, because with a nice enough motor vehicle you can get anyone to drive. I'm not looking at 3 charge points per day followed by fireworks in the bedroom or anything like that but really the must is the car must stay on the road. that being said my mum has lost two wing mirrors and I remember the time someone crashed into me and i lost my revering indicator, jealousy no doubt, so with all these jealous drivers armed with guns are those exterior censors going to keep you out of the gutter, and we all know about censorship. I would say yes and know, unless your prize hobby is driving a milk float.

Managed code has shown us that we should not be cared of the null hypothesis, and good precompiler should be able to check for thing like dealocs b being set to null, and memory allocation pairs without then need of Microsoft's interference. but where is this taking us infinite loops are also something a precompier can warn about, there's no excuse for sloppy code, i would expect that the deverlopers are missing all the computer warns and just skipping over them, oh why is my code pretty colours, all in all shoddy management company deservers to go under.

Or maybe the employer could restore from backups. They do have backups, right?

Ascension hospitals' computers were taken down by ransomware a few months ago, and as far as I know, they didn't pay. Their computers were down for over a month though. Doctors, nurses, etc. had to work off of paper records. On the other hand, United Healthcare paid a $22 million ransom. They're an insurance company though, not a hospital.

That was 12 years ago. A 12 year out of date critique of a web technology that has had ongoing language updates and two entire rewrites in that interval should be viewed with some suspicion. Also, are you really just citing the title of the article and none of the content?

I'm not even defending PHP here, just questioning lazy kneejerk, "but it sucked once, so now I hate it forever" thinking.

I'll disagree a little bit: we have heavy lift rockets bringing mass to orbit at a greater rate than any time in history and new larger and more efficient rockets on the cusp of being brought to use, with next generations planned for the future. Space launch technology -- the actual raw launching of mass to orbit, where it can be useful -- has advanced. And mass to orbit means more fuel -- if we really wanted to get something out there faster.

And that's where our statements arrive at the same conclusion: there's little need to do anything but super efficient deep space probes. While I can quibble with your implied assertion about newer technology not making a difference in ability, in a practical sense given our funding of deep space research, the big tech upgrade has been to data collection devices and communication. We'll have to have way cheaper lift capability before extra fuel to cut time off a project makes any kind of sense. But it is now at least plausible as an option.

(Also, this appears to be the only thread that isn't making Trek or Aliens jokes)

Oh, that's all, is it.

Yep, you're right 1 hour max /s.

Browsers are the most insecure attack surface of any aspect of modern computers. Apple's s/w is built using standard engineering decision-making - can we rely on X being there ? Why yes we can, so we can delegate this function to that system framework which we've tested is all secure.

Except that all breaks down when someone installs a 3rd party browser. Now the security model of the system depends on the security model of the installed browser, and that's just not acceptable. It may be the user's fault that they installed but you can guarantee that Apple will be holding the can at the end of any argument over why their nudes are now all over the internet.

Good question. Seeing as how the government doesn't send apology letters to everyone whose data they "accidentally" hoovered up and potentially abused in any number of inventive and worrying ways, how are they to know what harm they may have suffered as a result?

Regardless, they've all been harmed statutorily as there was no probable cause for any warrant to issue for their data. The Constitution doesn't have a "no harm, no foul" clause.

I saw an interesting post a few years ago whose thesis was that Starbucks isn't a coffee company; it's a poorly-regulated bank, masquerading as a gift card company, which happens to own some coffee shops on the side. Someone broke down all of the company's public reports to demonstrate that the vast majority of their income derives from investing the money customers pre-load onto gift cards (whether they ever spend it, or not). The amount of cash that Starbucks holds "on deposit" through gift cards rivals the assets of some of the larger banks. I wish I could find the post again.

I'm fine with the dieresis in "Universal Coõrdinated Time"; the small caps for Arpanet and other agencies is weird, but OK; however, "three hundred and seventy-two days of twenty-three and a half hours each" was annoying to read.

But TIL that David Mills is blind :(

You have to be the one who decides which piece to move, and where to move it to. You can't have someone else help you decide. You can't have a computer help you decide (and computers are so much better at chess than humans these days).
