Also GPT partitions have little use when using mdraid/dm-crypt/lvm2 (or zfs) stack. IIRC Windows have similar features with dynamic partitions, so I don't see any reason to use bios partitioning for anything beyond boot (and MBR is enough for it, even without extended partitions).
>buy used CD's
If artists receive nothing from such trades, why not just pirate (assuming you do not care about physical disc)?
Biometrics also cannot be used to produce cryptographic keys, meaning that all depend on that last conditional jump not being circumvented.
Regulations & compatibility.
>why cyrrilic characters or umlauts cause issues in your scripts...
Any text format can be broken by broken character encoding. I saw plenty of XML being used without any charset declarations. And JSON is in same position as CSV.
Problem is not CSV, it's Excel. It's hard to blame format, when application is insane enough to use locale settings to determine file parsing
I am all for text-only, structured web; but gopher transfer protocol is broken mess (which is an achievement considering simplicity of it's purpose).
Because search warrant is removal of privacy rights, which is something only court should be allowed do.
>but can verify the transactions to the drug site themselves
Once you start selectively give out user data, you are basically giving out warrants yourself and acting as a judge.
>As a result, you do not need to install any dedicated book reading/management apps on your phone
"fearless concurrency" is meaningless marketing, "zero-cost abstractions" is valid term
Main difference is not robustness. It's that CD are digital and can be copied perfectly.
>a half decent website
And what is wrong with current site?
>ugly
Matter of taste. I personally find it much more comfortable than gmail ui - less clutter and much faster
>spam filter
Works on server, used MUA does not affect it
>Why can't you just click a button and be done
Dump 150 table database, both schema and data. Except two tables, for which you need only schema. Then compress, encrypt & email.
With CLI I can spend 10 minutes looking up documentation, shove command into shell, start it and go to lunch. If I need to something like that again, I can Ctrl-R it, tune and launch again in couple minutes.
But maybe there is a button I can just click?

>many users won't know the real internet
Many users have no need for 'real internet'.
>completely fuck it up
No. 'Real internet' is still there, it's not getting absolutely smaller, only relatively to 'rubber doll' one
The most nauseating image in that episode was how memory recording turned into total destruction of privacy. Police reading your thoughts is bad; society expecting people to expose their memories and demanding conformity not in behavior, but in internal state, is a nightmare
>cloud services
If service is required for work - it should on corporate network.
Well, if you have to store arbitrary, opaque JS object in XML document, it is much better way than JSON in CDATA
Russia also doubled amount of DST related problems by first making DST shift permanent, then canceling it after couple of years.
>that a 24 hour clock is just an abstract definition
Growing up at almost same latitude (Murmansk oblast), I can confirm that effect
There is FUSE on OSX, but Dropbox said it was not performant enough for them
That data is already centralized and interlinked. There is no 'slack' (ambiguity and leeway) as far as government is concerned.
I am not arguing for using government-issued IDs for non-government services (as in original post), and consider enforcement of such use a direct attack on citizen freedom, but only for having single ID for use in state-person relations.
Government will identify citizens anyway. It's not choice between ID and no ID, but between simple ID and ad-hoc scheme (Name/Surname/Birthdate/Residence composite, or issuing separate id for each institution).
While IDs do have negative consequences, I see zero downside in replacing VATIN, passport number (linked list of "previous document" in worst case, down to birth certificate), army id number, employment record book number and "$surname $name $patronymic, born $birth_date at $birth_place, registered $registration_place" official title with single citizen ID.
4chan is quite "web2.0" for a board. BBS'es on 2ch.net could be better example, with their borer="1" tables, wall-of-text navigation, CGI scripts and adorable brick background
>coliving experiments in big cities, targeting young adults
I think layman translation of this marketing bullshit is "barrack"

No, I am not, I was talking purely from morality standpoint.
>If you encourage someone to commit adultery, you are morally culpable
Apparently we just happen to have different views. For me, adultery encouragement is unsympathetic act, but does not fit criteria for being amoral.
