Unrelated to your unrelated story: I do a lot of work for a tech company that makes pawn shop management software. On the checkout screen, there is a field into which you can enter the amount someone is paying by credit card. I had a shop not too long ago whose staff was inputting people's...

Maybe don't quote me on this, but my inclination would be to believe that any time you virtualize one operating system within another (Let's consider macOS, Windows, and the various Linux OSes to be the three different ones that would not play nicely together, with other peripheral OSs...

I am not familiar enough with the various subscription strata of Windows, but I know some of them have a built-in virtualization platform called Hyper-V.

They call them hyper clones or something to that effect, no? Miyota or Seiko movements, or sometimes better.

Arguably the greatest English novel ever written, James Joyce's Ulysses, was also based on The Odyssey.

Those are all boreal forests; fires are part of the maintenance and ought not be prevented. This is why most are being observed, not fought.

Then under what circumstances precisely are we expected to need to use one of these things?! :)

The one thing that sucks about this being "a single .jpg" is that, being an image, none of your information can be selected as text and copied/pasted. The only thing that sucks more is trying to craft a half-decent email signature!

I am still skeptical about these horseless carriages and those odd flying machines. Electric ice boxes?! PFFFFT.

1) They are strongly encouraged to do this. This is the central crux of the Attention Economy where engagement rules. People engage most strongly with their sense of self, and opinions are expressions of that. 2) People feel better about themselves when they put others down. Most opinions...

Sounds like a mutually agreed upon contract to me.

Filling in on drums in this band would probably be akin to filling in on lead guitar for a reformed Van Halen. This is quite literally the most fearsome seat in all of rock music. The fact that she had to do this with as much skepticism as she's faced since coming on board makes how well she did...

The first Ubuntu (which has always been under Canonical's oversight) was in 2004 (4.10). I picked up the next release 5.04 and have been using it in some capacity since; although my server network and personal workstations and personal computers at home are all Debian Stable. Mark Shuttleworth...

Somewhere on the other side of the world there are people doubled over laughing at this, high-fiving their team. EVERYONE thinks *they're* the ones who see through the propaganda and the manipulation; the others are the stupid ones falling for "it", whatever "it" is.

I thought there was an old John Wayne quote; something to the effect of "I know money can't buy happiness; but I'd rather cry in a Mercedes".

I always do when I can; and if possible I try to make sure someone is watching me when I do it; preferably kids: I'd like to normalize the idea. Sometimes I organize neighbourhood cleanups, too, which are supported by our local Neighbourhood Watch program. Same deal: I make sure we'll all in...

Tracking or no tracking, I would expect that any self-respecting criminal would choose an older vehicle anyhow, like an early '70s Charger, for example. Who wants to be a criminal in a Honda Accord? Are we rolling up to our gangland meeting in our Prius?!

AI's reach is about as sophisticated now as a "horseless carriage" and its associated manufacturing was 100 years ago. More and more and more and more will be built to accommodate more and more and more demand. This is just the tiny tip of the iceberg; it's still awkward and cumbersome and...

There were a few expose pieces up here north of the border on this garbage; now at least the CBC is no longer playing along: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/cbc-kars4kids-ads-pulled-9.7204937
