Hardly ridiculous. You say that as if members of US government agencies didn't plot terror attacks on Americans (Operation Northwood), steal the medical records of American whistleblowers (Ellsberg), had to be prevented from assassinat

So if it's not such a huge barrier for a foreign programmer to program in an English-centric computer programming language, surely the same can be said about non-Arabic speakers who might want, or have to deal with this language?

The surreals are actually a problem in this context. As far as I'm aware, nobody's yet come up with a satisfying integral calculus that works in the surreal numbers generally. Maybe you have to leave those gaps unfilled.

Wouldn't married graduates be disproportionately likely to initially meet each other as students?

I'd like to see whether there's a correlation here between gender imbalance in the particular subject and the marriage rate. I suspect theology is a heavily male-dominated subject, since a large number of the associated careers ar

It's not as if there aren't meme-heavy right-wing subreddits who do something similar. r/the_donald was all over the front page for a long while, and has a notoriously strict moderation policy. It's just that the right w

And if you need a tour guide to the Quake 3 source code (among others), Fabien Sangard's blog will walk you through his favourite bits. http://fabiensanglard.net/quake3/index.php

Not so much the themes but the game interface. SS1's interface predates a lot of modern FPS idioms, so it feels very clunky and difficult to use compared to more modern games. Thematically, it fights right in with the Bioshock/Pre

If it looks like you're the suspect, then don't talk and get a lawyer. Otherwise, you should probably avoid doing anything that makes you a suspect, including demanding a lawyer prematurely.

Uh, the TV licence covers people who watch live TV broadcasts in the UK (including watching the internet simulcast of said broadcasts and using the BBC's iPlayer catchup service). If your household isn't doing any of that, you don

Of course the multitool is the single point of failure. If the chef isn't careful, that one great knife can be the vector that means ALL the customers get salmonella, not just the ones who ordered the chicken!

But bees and ants have genetically determined reasons for their social structures - their genetic makeup is more strongly shared between siblings than offspring so it's in their rational self-interest to be sterile themselves and to fa

Sure, no arguments with the crediting; I was using 'BartleMUDs' as a shorthand term to specify about 3 games (MUD, MIST, LAND) that were based on the same codebase at Essex University, without reference to who actually did what.

Well it's not just that; at the time, the Bartle MUDs were the only games like it in existence, and so anyone (who happened to have the relevant network access, of course) who wanted to play a multiplayer online game played Bartle&#x27

As well as Minix, which is intended as just such a teaching aid and comes with a textbook, there's the Lions book, which is a complete annotated source listing of an early Unix, and which was passed around as nerd Samizdat for a while,

Those detailed simulations are out there, though. The rather expensive-to-make military flight simulation games are getting rarer, but Falcon 4.0, ILM Sturmovik and DCS did, or do, have sizeable niche followings. Fairly detailed car racing

Not to mention that Proudhon predated Marx, so if there is an imitation (and there isn't), it goes the other way.

The sticking point is not so much free market - mutualists are considered anarchists by other anarchists - but other, major, aspects of capitalism, mainly private ownership of the means of production and the use of waged labour, where owner

In academia, you don't have to. Make the prototype, write the paper, present it at the conference, job done. It's some engineer's job to do it properly in an actual production setting.

Check the dates. If you were trying to assess claims of an extraordinary and unprecedented mechanised genocide by Nazi Germany in 1943 or early 1944, when it wasn't obvious what was actually going on, and when all people had to go on w

There's a couple of exceptions, but in general, Omar is far less inclined to use swearwords than other characters and even expresses a dislike for that language.

But the panopticon also stares right back at you. Your political enemies can also use it to google you up, find what you're up to, and night-of-the-long-knives you first. You've already blown it by writing this post, so it's

Trouble is, this guy is a random citizen who doesn't know much about how the law works, and so it hasn't clicked who the correct plaintiff would be for his case. He'd probably get told who the right parties to lodge a complai

It's also interesting how many of these guidelines have malware-related rationales, though.
