"Simulation." - You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Hahaha - I just used GRC's Never10 tool to stop the constant annoying pestering to upgrade to Windows 10. Now, I'm not so sure anymore.

MacBook Pro, mid-2009, 17" 8GB. Original 100GB SSD + 120GB SSD in slot on the side. Replaced the battery a few months ago. Still runs great. I think the DVD drive died from lack of use (and dust).

Am I the only one who thought this had something to do with fantasy games?

I put avocados and goat cheese on home-made pizza. Absolutely delicious although they turn brown, which can be off-putting.

How does performance compare to 0mq?
fbomb | 10 years ago | on: Why the possibility of Trump becoming the Republican nominee is a terrible thing
It's not really that terrible. If he became the republican nominee, all it would accomplish would be to hand the election over to the democrats on a silver platter.
fbomb | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's the hardest problem you've ever solved?
I found a rather elegant solution for the halting problem. I would share it here but it won't fit in the margins.

I could go for some Chicken Pennsylvania right about now.

Damn! I got a little excited when I read it as HeathKit!
fbomb | 12 years ago | on: Poll: how many productive hours do you have in a day?
A lot more since I learned to avoid getting sucked into internet discussions. Aaaw... Damn it!

No. Actually it's C++. A very different language.
fbomb | 12 years ago | on: F-35 C++ coding standard [pdf]
I stopped reading after the very first rule: Any one function (or method) will contain no more than 200 logical source lines of code. Seriously?

14 days too late.

The BFG is still a better weapon.

Why do they all look like the astronauts made the suits themselves out of duct tape?
fbomb | 12 years ago | on: Pronunciation errors that made the English language
I always thought that meant "stop doing what you're doing" (cease) and "don't do it again afterwards" (desist).
fbomb | 12 years ago | on: GNewSense is a fully-free Linux distro
When you name a product, you should always say it out loud to several people so that you realize it when it sounds like "nuisance."
