This legal system is a shit joke.
It's designed to fail under the weight of its own bullshit.
Have you listened to the way people talk? I wouldn't want to listen to it either.
Microsoft will never appreciate your mod abuse, clown
"Mozilla shut down the well-loved read-it-later Pocket app last year,
Well-loved? How many people were using it? Follow the chain of links and you'll see they never actually say.
One of the hardest parts when switching to Linux was learning to use the command line and shellscripts instead of relying on "power tools" for everything.
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.

I'm not a doomsday prepper but, from what I hear, a lot of the ultra wealthy ARE prepping. It makes no sense not to do some prep when one has that much wealth. It's just another bet to hedge.
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.
If WWIII takes out much of the internet and data centers, it doesn't matter what the cost was to get this up there - whomever controls it would have a huge upper hand.
It might well wind up being nobody. There will be signal-hunting drones.
They've literally spent half a century exporting our essential production to China to save a few bucks
I think you mean, "so the middle men can pocket the savings".
Thanks for tracking that down. To me that's the real news here. Reactor vessels are not the only application for this technology.
In my exerience, the share of programmers that (a) understand that shell is a programming language and not some weird command prompt
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.
and (b) take the time and invest the effort required to learn it properly is surprisingly small.
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...)
Silicon Carbide is difficult to work with due to the high temperatures required, so if they have a 3d printing process that is effective at producing the kind of quality needed for a reactor vessel, that's what's really interesting here. Or... whose tech are they using?
I have a ":w! saves" mug
I have to ask: did you literally never use a computer lab at all in the DOS era?
Not "logging into DOS" - logging into your account. I literally said "mimicked the DOS prompt, including common commands", e.g., you're at the DOS prompt. When you want to login, you ran LOGIN.EXE, which "mounted" your network account. I believe it was Novell NetWare-based.
