Dumbest take ever. Xbox runs Windows. Xbox games are sold for Windows. Xbox can not be separated from Windows, period.

This legal system is a shit joke.

It's designed to fail under the weight of its own bullshit.

Microsoft will never appreciate your mod abuse, clown

Well-loved? How many people were using it? Follow the chain of links and you'll see they never actually say.

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.

Actually, the people who forget that seem to be in the business of marketing and press releases. QC has been the apocalypse that would turn the world on it's head breaking crypto left and right in the next 2 years for at least 10 years now. It still can't do prime factorization better or faster than a sixth grader with a pencil and paper. And the sixth grader won't charge as much.

Perhaps it will be useful one day, but not today. It may well take 100 years. Remember about 3 years ago when the size of quantum computers was going to double overnight? And how it went radio silent shortly after? The problem with QC isn't that it will never get here at all, it's the damned hype machine that promised it would be here now.

It's the same hype machine that told us we would be using crypto currency for all of our everyday transactions by now. The same hype machine that claims AI will replace everyone next year.

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.

It might well wind up being nobody. There will be signal-hunting drones.

Thanks for tracking that down. To me that's the real news here. Reactor vessels are not the only application for this technology.

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.

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?

That's not how this works. There are a few ways to send an image to the bare display, but HDMI isn't one of them. If you actually look up the item list from TFS you will see that.

You didn't expect them to actually explain how you could manufacture an e-ink panel starting with sand and some chemicals in your kitchen, did you?

It's not a lie. The unemployment rate is crap. Both parties like to use it to lie about how good things are when they are in charge, which is why most of them don't want to kill that goose.

It's destroying the planet. Sustainability is job #1. SMH here.

No, it literally is not an ad hominem in absolutely any sense whatsoever, period. If you think otherwise, you may or may not be stupid, but you're definitely ignorant. I could have phrased it some other way, if I were trying to be dishonest, but that is not what I do. I'm not here to be nice about shit ideas which ennoble or enrich shit people, nor to coddle their enablers.

Ad hominem means insult from a person. It is an argument that an argument is false because a certain person made it. It literally does not matter whether an insult is involved, although it can be. The fact that you're issued moderation points for a site like Slashdot when you're so eager to be so fundamentally wrong about what something means is utterly pathetic. This is exactly why moderation should be public, so people can know whether it means anything, or it was executed by someone who has no fucking idea what they're on about. This is also why moderation is and always has been fundamentally broken on Slashdot. Posting and moderating in the same discussion isn't allowed, but the people who are most qualified to moderate are also the people who are most qualified to comment.

I also note that you failed to understand the part about comments whose sole purpose is to insult and enrage, with your comical focus on insult when that is not even the core of what ad hominem even is. It's especially amusing that you quoted that section in light of your inability to understand either thing.

Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time.

lolololol etc ad infinitum.
