OOW! This will go nicely with my illusion of choice.

They could have a unified codebase if they shifted to using Qt for everything. It can do GUI, system config, accelerated graphics, joysticks/gamepads, touchscreens, et cetera. If you want to improve compatibility then Qt is the obvious way to go. It also targets smartphones so if you want to make ports for that, it's an option.

Those are old news, friend. https://s.abcnews.com/images/P...

Not if they live in the water. You clearly underestimate what billions of years of evolution can produce.

In secure software distributions like Debian, each package...
* has the contents vetted and tested.
* is signed using a key that is associated with a physically verified person.
* may depends on other packages with the same requirements.

There have been no malicious packages in the Debian software distribution system which means there absolutely is a difference.

Hedge funds do NOTHING to contribute to society in any way, shape, or form. The fact that this parasitic operation is dying is a feel-good story, not an unfortunate tale.

Neither of these systems were designed to be secure software distribution systems, they were designed to be repositories for software development. Idiots decided, "hey, let's also build and distribute software using repositories meant for software development" and it went to shit as they should have expected. It bears repeating, these are not secure software distribution systems. Everyone needs to get a grip and stop pretending that they are and thus stop using them as such.

I'm not about to listen Big Hexagon about evolutionary geometry. Sounds like they already have you on their payroll!

Nobody in the entire thread could be arsed to actually read the blog post but not far in they tell you...

IIRC the accident statistics on Tesla and Google auto-driving vehicles show that they're safer than an average newly minted 16 year-old driver, and we've (almost) all been that person at one time.

Ad when has any member of this Sadministration bothered to comply with the Constitution, the law, or an executive order? They do whatever they feel will please the Orangutan in Chief so that he can direct some of the graft their way.

Their airfoil design was what got the aviation industry under way, no one else had worked out an actual functional design yet. Otto Lelienthal for example was killed when his glider stalled because of poor airfoil configuration. IIRC they also worked out the mechanics of a wind tunnel trying to figure out the correct shape.

Pretty much everyone ignored the Wright brothers' patents at the time, if they hadn't the worldwide aviation industry would have have been stunted for decades.

Aircraft just have an obvious beginning that pretty much everyone is aware of, feel free to pick your own example.

Wow, I can't decide. Either you're remarkably ignorant about the Middle East in general and Iranian society in particular, or you're an Usrael troll. Congratulations!

China learned almost a thousand years ago that attempting to conquer and occupy foreign territory against the wishes of its populace was unsustainable, while trade links and mutual interests could last centuries. Unfortunately the US does not have the history to have learned that, nor the ability to learn from other cultures.
