Off topic-ish: There was a trick you could use on the Atari ST to display more than the allowed number of colours - you reloaded the palette data on each horizontal interrupt. Could this have been used on the C64 also?
A dangerous line of thinking.... If someone were to take prescription meds that's legal in the country they bought and took them, why should they be extradited to a country that happen to not agree on the legality of those meds?
My understanding was that Iraq was less about real foreign policy and more about his dad's "unfinished business", hence all the nonsense surrounding legitimacy of invasion.
Just this morning I was thinking about how automated cars would eventually evolve to automated buses. Then, over time, all public transport becomes automated. We end up being minuscule parts of a large transportation machine, a bit like electrons flowing through the internet...
Question for my American cousins: In your opinion, what percentage of fellow Americans see themselves as part of the global community? I've read a few comments on HN on many different topics along the lines of "but that wouldnt work in the states because we are different". I'm genuinely curious how disconnected from the rest of the planet people feel/are. Thanks in advance.
We have a system like this and for us it means borrowing a car is a PITA: You only get a permit for a vehicle registered in your name. So when we borrow a car, we are not allowed to park it outside our own house.
For me, the "learning curve" of Go was very small and that's the kicker. You can get up to speed quickly and get a 'feel' for the language quickly. It's been a great learning experience and I recommend it thoroughly.
Call me old school, but I remember when this was called infidelity. Ah...how the times are changing... (I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing mind)
I know someone who smacks their lips loudly when eating. Although noises in general don't irritate me as per the article, this person's eating noise riles me. Like another commentor, i think it's just a manners thing.
Feel for you. I've been in very similar positions. Just today I had an interview with a very well known company and the interviewer sounded like he couldnt really care. Ive 20+ years pro experience and over that time, if you are a good problem solver, you end up getting a whole bunch of experience in different things. Problem i've found is everyone is looking for specialists that fit into a narrow box. I really don't, and i'd guess most people with any length of experience don't either. Perhaps startups are your best bet?
Installed ElementaryOS for a friend who essentially just needed a browser. He absolutely loves it and i'd consider it should i find the need to switch.
I so wish that were true. I experience crashes on a regular basis when eating such food. There is no way i can go more than 4-6 hours without eating, apart from sleeping. My crashes come quick and once almost lead to a blackout. I don't experience this eating high fat/protein food.
