Yes, it does.


And yet, that comment is upvoted and your comment is downvoted.

Maybe I don't want to become a part of this community after all.

edit: then again, every single comment of yours appears to be dead?

edit2: what's with the lack of transparency?


Oh man, I miss BeOS. It was one of the two OS's I'd bought back in the day. The other was OpenBSD 3 iirc I have the CD around here somewhere, too.


I loved the BeOS icons. Spent a lot of time forcing Windows NT 4 to look like it.


This is why amazes me. At my home we blow through on average 25 GB a day in gaming, streaming video, other downloads etc. limits like these are terrible. 80 a month? Wtf?!


25 GB a day? Are you streaming 4K?


I live alone and use 50-100 gb/day on days I’m home all day, so 25gb/day isn’t that much.

I cut cable TV years ago and exclusively stream. I like having the TV on for background noise when home, even though I’m usually not actively watching it the whole time, and you’d be surprised how fast one can chew through data usage. I usually use around 1.5TB a month when you factor in offsite backups.


I doubt the "what we eat" part but not the energy and transportation aspects of it.

We could, in 20 years from the time the efforts were legislated in, phase out most petrol vehicles in exchange for electric and go to nuclear, solar, and hydroelectric for our power needs.

It would work, too.


The "what we eat" is tied into the energy and transportation aspects of it. Even ignoring the methane issues of industrially raised (beef) cattle, American agriculture / supermarket culture is hugely (over?) dependent on a world with dirt cheap energy and transportation. That isn't likely to change in the transition to electric vehicles and greener energy sources to the electric grid, but there is still a risk to existing grocery supply chains if the margins shift due to industrial transportation and energy costs.


I hadn't realized it was even maintained still this decade, or the preceding one. It's latest version is 1.2.1 and released on November 14, 2014... Not exactly up-to-date by some standards but I'm glad it's still around.


it's just a service

you can run your own easily

just connect to roots


I do this but instead of passwords like `NGIyNzgwMTEyNDczYTIyNjEwYWRhYWZh` I'd use `BatteryHorseStaple33` to the question: Where were you born.

I've never had it blow up in my face with any rep, and I make sure to keep the passwords in an offline (never touches any network) laptop.


Comparing a simple compression algorithm to extensive law research is extremely disingenuous and shows a lack of awareness of what it takes to actually BE competent as a lawyer.


I dislike them all, except for someone else's comment above about comment reply notifications - which doesn't even have to be active, just a number next to your username at the top when reloading a page.


Having Google on your resumé used to be a big deal but it's becoming a kind of liability in some circles.
