There are many methods to calculate an integer square root, out there on the inter-waves, dating back as far as the 60's and 70's. Intricate bit-manipulation is thrive. But is it necessary [there is code with which I came to this

Limiting the acquisition of knowledge to people with sufficient economic means is immoral, because it means that more than half the worlds population has no means to move forward, even if they are motivated and intelligent.

Yes, it's a rip-off, I'm trying to state the facts, that does not mean I agree with it nor that I adhere to it.

I fully agree with you on all points except: "still a crime btw". 'pirating' on this small scale without a direct financial benefit [money coming towards you] is a violation of the copyright act(s) and you would end up i

Discussing the dis-appearance of the dinosaurs (let's say some 6'000 years (minus 6 days) ago) could be a cool discussion. Another one is of course the return of that badly dressed hippie. For about 2'000 years, excuses have

xpdf seems to have started to respect the not-copyable-flags, while in days yonder, it didn't. So now, even something like a manual of some command-line tools or a text book on C++ or Rust, you still have to re-type the text (wtf). Tim

It's a Windows-thing, since W7, IIRC. It's ok now, but it has been buggy for years, and yes, who eats xps-files, so better it is, but it's not more useful.

I just learned something useful! There might be more crud in BSD, better avoid. The fact they only now remove gcc-4.2 as the base of their system has told me more than enough, thanks, but no thanks.

I agree with you that Google or Facebook should be allowed to do what they want. The problem we face is that these companies run major (the dominant) communication channels, that's (IMHO) where the problem lies [it shouldn't be li

For a long time I ran Windows XP x64, which was basically Windows Server 2003 x64 without the server components, that worked great (and server grade patches, becoz they just send the server updates). It was free as well, as they we're

I don't see that happening. The T&S'ers engage in group-think, just look at how Trump attracts voters while being an absolute prick in every respect.
