It obviously would have nothing to do with any [rapid] cognitive declines caused by receiving weird experimental injections; to suggest otherwise would be silly.

So most houses have fatter wired than they usually use. But comes the day they do use the capacity, and...what happens? Plus, you now have to maintain hardware distributed over zillions of different structures. Plus, you have to build those structures. I can't see how this can possibly be cheaper or more practical.

My programming brother has worked a lot with both Z Series and POWER, and would tell you the advantages of one over the other is the $ for your particular situation. He would work with either (or both in one instance) and not notice enough difference, for comparable configurations, to drive the choice.

Don't get him started on VMWare though. He loves it right up to when something really unfortunate (*cough* updates) happens, and you didn't buy every.single.option... They can hold their hands out and say 'we told ya'.

Then again, he says all that about SAP also. He says nothing 'big' has ever saved him from disaster other than IBM. He's a little prejudiced, starting on PDP-11 but quickly making a living on S/3x, AS/400, and Z, now 'mystery cloud' platforms, as he calls them all.

Dang, I wish I could run ReactOS on a Raspberry...

Nope. I lack the skills to port it to ARM64

"flout the law"

They disregarded the rights of authors etc. to be compensated for their work. The Law just identified the transgressions.

You can be sure if I or you shared Meta's source code and built a site with it we would be pursued to the ends of the Earth.

Hypocrisy, and yes just one practitioner. Get caught, pay up.

I approach this the same way I approached the Martha Stewart insider trading scandal. It's not that she made a few bucks, or avoided losing some, but, but, some other schlub suffered the losses. She owed them. Prison time was just the State failing to also compensate the real victims.

Let Zuck pay a meaningful price. Or just go on...

Ah, that's right. Because I resent my cell provider, every interest group I have even a minimal interest in, some store I bought something from, oh, wait, I just browsed their site, every other whatever I've encountered on the Web, pushing me to load their app.

All so they can track my activity on their site more easily, track whatever else I do, where I've been, other sites/interests/exposure to anything else I've encountered.

Don't be so naive as to think the current Administration is unique in this. Past Administrations have done it. And there's no reason to believe they were any more ethical, competent, or secure. Unless you're of the sort that believes your heroes are without serious flaws, and the opposition is without redemption. You are to be pitied.

Disappointed I am. Surprised not am I.

PS - 5/4 is Dave Brubeck Day.

Democracy is for retards.

Government did this. All of this. Government regulated so much that only a rare few can afford to compete.

This is late stage statism. Retard voters are to blame.

Like you.

We can now study a real-life three body problem.

Assuming these observations are, in fact, accurate. It's a long ways away, after all,

"I mean for fuck sakes here in America we won't feed hungry children. We say it builds character."

You are a disgusting human being. Please go slander elsewhere.

I'm still keying in programs for HP calculators. The 12c has a Moon Lander script running, and I suck as a pilot. Still.

Look, I'm predisposed to be on the side of the farmers rather than Monsanto, but claiming "deep pockets" is the reason these lawsuits turned out the way they did is absurd. See Bowman v. Monsanto Co., 569 U.S. 278 (2013), and Monsanto Canada Inc v Schmeiser [2004] 1 S.C.R. 902, 2004 SCC 34 for the actual reasons for the lawsuits.

Further, Monsanto has explicitly declared that they will not engage in the behavior that you are saying is it issue here: "We do not exercise our patent rights where trace amounts of our patented seeds or traits are present in a farmer’s fields as a result of inadvertent means." They're certainly capable of going back on their promises, of course, but an innocent farmer would be able to use that statement in their defense... unless this was more than "pollen that came from a neighboring farm."

Monsanto is a shit company that does shit things. Shit on them (rightfully) for that, not the things that are made up or taken out of context.

Swiss Dual Income No Kids Robinson. :)

Presumably they simply disallow more immigration until they fall back below the cap. But, sure, let's go with the horrifically dystopian option that we have no evidence to support.

"it is common for liberals to do things like put up signs in their yards that say they stand with the homeless while simultaneously voting for zoning policies to defend their property value"

So much this. Where I live, the politians are pushing to house 200 illegal African and Middle Eastern immigrants in a town of around 1000 people. Let's be real: that will destroy the town.

Why not house them in the affluent suburbs where the politicians live? We all know that will never happen...

'this?'

By this, you mean /.? For at least a third of /. race is the preferred tool to attempt to discredit, demean, or dismiss your apparent adversaries.

I expected better from a 6-digit, but hey,
