The memory is, unfortunately. I would buy one, but there is no $100 option to add 8GB of more ram and 8GB alone isnt enough for a few years.

Stargate SG1 had a great setup for cheap production of an episodic planet-of-the-week show but that's hardly unique.

The Stargate isn't what made the show special, it was the self-aware humour and the charismatic cast. And the original cast is too damn old now, so you'd be rolling the dice with a remake.

In my opinion, it's better to build a new setting than try to reinvent the old one. At least that way you don't have baggage to worry about.

If Trump backed candidates win then Europe is going to have to do something but if they lose even if it's Republicans winning Europe will see that as a signal that they can back down.

The basic question is will America return to some semblance of sanity with the economy crashing and gas prices skyrocketing or will they just keep doubling down on more Trump. There have been several primary elections where Trump backed candidates won though. So it's not looking good. The basic problem is American voters either are obsessed with voting Republican even when it hurts them economically and a lot of Americans aren't allowed to vote because we do heavy duty voters suppression.

So the country is really going off the deep end here.

The thing is Europe can't really ignore a mentally unstable United States because we still have this massive military. I know it looks like we got our asses kicked in Iran but the only reason Trump had the back down even a little is that a draft and boots on the ground is still a bridge just a little bit too far.

All it takes to change that is one middle-sized terrorist attack and the American public will freak the fuck out and send their kids off to die in the desert again. Hell the last time when 9/11 hit we didn't even have to do a draft because so many people signed up. Now mind you Iran is a much bigger country and taking Greenland is a bigger deal so yeah we would need a draft, but you can get away with pretty much anything when people think that they are under attack

Obviously, the list of people killed issued by Russia will not contain the people that they don't want to admit to and will contain people who it suits them to include. Women are currently serving in the Russian armed services and 19, just after completing mandatory education and before they could have a settled life is approximately the most likely age that they would join. Releasing a list of women only is not a sign of innocence. It is a sign of Russian manipulation.

Instead of allowing quick access to the scene, we know that Russia staged the scene for two days. That is standard procedure in Russia where a mililtary target has been hit and means that almost certainly all of those killed were actually the members of the military targeted. Having said that, it is always possible that civilians were killed, we should not in any way accept that civilian deaths in this conflict are anyone's responsibility other than Russia which could stop this war immediately by withdrawing all Russians from the territory that Russia has stolen from Ukraine from 1919 onward, paying reparations for the damage they have done and injuries they have caused since that time and handing over Russia's weapons and diplomatic privileges to Ukraine.

They did not "withstood AI-driven exploit research". They had fewer bugs than most projects, and they've had to put up with an enormous amount of slop reports, but neither are anything approaching no bugs.

The curl programmers are probably the best C programmers out there at the moment, if I had to do something in C, I'd get them to do it, but I'd still rather avoid C, because even they will end up with bugs in their code. C requires programmers be superhuman.

Knowing what people get paid here (Europe) and what other benefits people get, I do not see your argument. Maybe you have no clue what you are talking about?

Yes. Evangelicals and other Christian fanatics are really no better than Muslim fanatics, they are just better organized and more sneaky. All fanatics are bad. Period. All fanatics are loud and try to rule the world. And all fanatics try to force others to think their way. They are the one group in the human race (besides the Billionaires these days) that must be carefully controlled and limited and, if needed, suppressed. Because if that does not happen, then everything goes to shit.

Also refer to "The Paradox of Tolerance" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance), which essentially says that the one group you must never tolerate are those that promote intolerance.

Yep, I see that happening every day and I am scared! Well, if there were any truth to this deranged claim. There is not.

At this time, the new rules put in place after the Schrems II ruling still allow that. But they might not do so for much longer. Putting any EU citizen's personal data into O365 may already be technically illegal now.

The EU is not "flexing" at all. That is just the deranged framing the US media puts on things. This has been quietly going on for quite some time, it just became more public and urgent as the US regime leader turns more and more insane.

Indeed. But the crap MS does stops now. I have no idea how they could be so incredibly stupid to block the ICC accounts or, recently, leak the names of Swedish Government Regulators to the US Congress. Yes, they are required to do this by law (just a "maybe" for the first case), but it seems MS has not fought back one bit and they did not really oppose the Cloud Act when they could have when either.

It is now exceptionally clear to any government and most companies on the planet that US companies like Microsoft can disable your MS-based IT when the US administration wants them to do so for arbitrary reasons or personal vengeance but the regime leader and can also steal all your data in there and hand it to the US administration. That completely removes any longer-term future for this tech outside of the US.

Oh, they will collect. The US earns a lot of money processing data for EU companies. After the Schrems II ruling this is dependent on the EU being able to enforce its laws in the US whenever data of EU citizens gets processed.

You are an idiot. The GDPR applies to Clearview because it stole data from EU citizens that were in the EU at that time.

That is really insightless nonsense. I have done GDPR audits for companies as small as 5 people working there. It takes one person with a working brain a few days to figure this out. That is, unless you plan to steal your customer's data and use every loophole available. Then it gets really tricky. And that is why the billionaires complain and useful idiots believe this nonsense.

That is some fine FUD you have there. For example, the only time the GDPR gets tricky is when you plan to abuse and circumvent it. You should not believe the propaganda the billionaires put out. It rots your brain.
