idk why you think "nation states" are any better at corporate governance than poster examples of bad like f/ex Boeing. Or Facebook. Or Microsoft. Or Enron for that matter. I assure you, in "nation states", that is i

Did you ditch nginx for the same reason?

I remember the time when I did not need any fancy frameworks, webfonts, tons of JS and effin cdns to present my thoughts to the world. This time is now. Your bickering about how to more efficienty bloat a page is... pitiful.

Doesn't matter. They're instututionally incapable to rising back to the art of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", so it's all water under the bridge.

Radioactivity has nothing to do with it. Was solved in Mi-6/Mi-8/Mi-26 blades without it.

What's the point though? If you got the stuff it's better run in UAE. If you have none I don't trust you and therefore think the Amiga name is misleading. To gain trust here show some code running in UAE. There is no point in

At this point we must have a drink to that.

But serioslly when IPOs were not a sad joke? In early 1990s? But I think never.

Well, IF. If you have enough skill you can a do stoppie in a turn, turn around and shoot off the way you came from. But this is bordering on stunt riding, not something to be relied on for day-to-day riding where you have to have enough mar

I just adjust the brake handle light switch so that lights go up before there is any brake force applied, so that you can float it just by feel. Idk, this is what 90s japanese bikes did right from the factory. Then train that "drop th

What he names "fishtailing" is what is known as "highside" in motorbike circles. When the rear wheel loses grip, it and the entire frame except the front fork moves sideways. When the rear wheel inevitably retains grip,

That's a lowside. Turn very gently if weather invites ice (or wet autumn leaves which are about as creepy as ice), never use front brakes. Locking and then suddenly reacquiring grip on the rear wheel causes highsides on motorbikes, it&

> Who will get the bailouts instead is the pension funds and other investment vehicles It's the same thing in the end. Bailouts don't come from outer space, we all pay for delusions of few.

^^ The truth, the truth! Second level is that their target market is top management that are also incapable of anything except "the immediate surface appearance".

Well yes. I for one won't sign up for an odd one-off job for a stranger because it more often than not ends up in a quagmire of unfulfilled miscommunicated expectations. It's not fraud per se, it's just.. a wrong approach. Jo

I thought we were talking about how eLoran is cheap enough. But if you are about jamming, well. Either discontinue AIS/ADS-B or directed VHF jammers are not that conspicious. Not even a PESA, 60s tech.

Sufficiently pure dichloromethane is also fun stuff. It just eats through most any gloves, plastics, whatever. Even PET, and only polyethylene is somewhat resistant. LD50 about 2mg/kg oral. By oral it's meant that well.. if you so

Even a 160m guy-wire tower is cheap. 40m.. my friend installed 32m one just to have better internets, not exactly out of pocket cash, but nothing compared to say swapping a car.

What your phone shows to app land is entirely different thing. I'm talking about the backbone.

Who cared, we were 15 at the time. Besides you worry too much. Entire cities were wired with cat5 hanged off steel cable between 9 to 15 story buildings in early 2000s, before fiber. Nothing burned down.

IIRC crossovers are pre-2000, yes. "Fast Ethernet" or 100Base-T adapters usually could talk over straight link. edit: as for length, it depends. you won't get a gigabit over 150m of crap cat3, but you will get a link, even if

I remember we played warcraft 2 over ~15m of cat3 cable stretched outside between two flats on 6th floor. Those were the times, lol.

I wonder is there a market for portable EMP guns to disable crap like that? I mean, it's pretty trivial to make one out of shocker, some foil and a ditched microwave oven and it will kill most any electronics on sight.

Okay. It is a small font within a small column which wastes like 60+% space of a screen, and I use tabs, eh? Tabs are not windows, I will not resize my browser just because of one single tab. This is a horizontal 24" 1920x1200, not a f

xubuntu, 2x iiyama IVM610F those are 24" 1920x1200, firefox latest. For some reason when I open hn it's readable. When I open your site it's.. not.
