It's kind of how stupid people think the law works. "The cop misspelled my last name on the ticket your honor, so I don't have to pay it, checkmate!"

lol fuck this guy, the name and branding are awesome dude

I'm sorry, but this is horseshit. Snow Leopard is beloved by the Mac user base for a reason. It was legitimately faster and more stable than any prior release.

It really was a bit weird, games that got ported to Mac almost always had higher-quality graphics. The X-Wing port looked incredible compared to the PC version, and so did TIE Figh…

You jerks always got the best games lol. But I always lorded over my PC friends that they didn't know what they were missing with Marathon.

Yeah it was seriously like mining for gold back then. I remember being at a Best Buy and just happening to stumble upon Duke Nukem 3D for Mac OS a week or so before its official re…

It was either that or someone made a last-minute decision to pull support, and they just forgot to stop building that slice. In fact, I'd be willing to believe they did some initia…

There are limits to the lies they can tell, IIRC. They are limited to lies which would not harm an innocent person. So if an officer says "We have your fingerprints on the murder w…

I remember when TIE Fighter finally came out for the Mac, I just begged my parents to order it from Mac Warehouse or whichever catalogue it was in. I didn't read the system require…

1. Wealth tax happens on assets > 100M 2. Wealth > 100M flees jurisdictions where it could be taxes 3. No receipts on wealth tax 4. Wealth tax boosters need something to brag about…

Nothing. This is just FUD.

I don't think I've ever had a problem with this. The big problem I've had with cut/copy/paste has been with Windows and software inspired by it, which is that copying without selec…

I don't know everything there is to know about passkeys or anything, but my reaction to most of these comments is "You're passing yourself off as someone who has relevant opinions …

Yeah I have a similar list. Mine also includes "journey". As soon as a word gets adopted by MBAs to abstract away the real world, it gets added to my list. They're words that proje…

The less physicist code exists in the world the better.

Sure, I guess. But I think people reading this thread are drawing a line between "Copying the publicly-visible IP" and "Inducing employees to walk out with trade secrets in hand." …

> I've never relied on sugar free foods, and I consume plenty of natural sugars and easily cut weight on a regular basis. I'm guessing you're talking about fruits. In which case, y…

I was thinking a classical linker that e.g. combined sections together after already laying out subsequent sections. That would basically be an memmove. It doesn't necessarily have…

Because Apple didn't sue Samsung over IP theft. They sued them over copyright infringement.

I promise you that someone in SF making $50k/month can comfortably afford a very nice house.

Yeah that is definitely 1000% wrong. A compiler can do its job with totally abstract data structures. If anything would need to do unsafe stuff in memory, it would probably be a li…

The 1A jurisprudence, to my understanding, basically results in the courts virtually never finding that the government has a legitimate, competing interest in limiting political sp…

Sorry, no. Just because you've never done it doesn't mean that no one ever will. Beyond the archival benefits, I've found plenty of bugs by going back through my "wip" commits and …

Have you ever tried to configure ACLs? They're a pain in the ass. Not everyone wants to be a sysadmin.

Holy shit this is a great idea. I get the complaints about the arts, but colleges have enjoyed essentially unlimited patience for larding up their programs with extra fees, bullshi…
