Nobody does like I did on this forum, surely not.

There are many methods to calculate an integer square root, out there on the inter-waves, dating back as far as the 60's and 70's. Intricate bit-manipulation is thrive. But is it necessary [there is code with which I came to this disillusioning conclusion]?

Also trying with Google after duckduckgo is faster than the other way around.

And with the '!g'-bang you can still have privacy and use google.

The only thing not on the web-site is how antennas work, even in theory.

Going voting is crucial.

Limiting the acquisition of knowledge to people with sufficient economic means is immoral, because it means that more than half the worlds population has no means to move forward, even if they are motivated and intelligent.

Yes, it's a rip-off, I'm trying to state the facts, that does not mean I agree with it nor that I adhere to it.

I fully agree with you on all points except: "still a crime btw". 'pirating' on this small scale without a direct financial benefit [money coming towards you] is a violation of the copyright act(s) and you would end up in civil court.

I live in Spain, country where I pay a compensation copyright tax for every ...

I don't know specifically about Spain, but this 'copyright tax' [that was introduced in most, if not all European countries, probably a directive] was for you to legally be able to create copies on your devices of legally acquired contents.

The interpretation you have been giving it, is mentally satisfying, but not legally tenable

There seems to be contents on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=manouche . I leave it for you as home-work to ddgo the solution from there.

Actually no, not everywhere, in places sea-levels are about to drop: https://www.zmescience.com/ecology/climate/sea-level-drop-sc...

Discussing the dis-appearance of the dinosaurs (let's say some 6'000 years (minus 6 days) ago) could be a cool discussion. Another one is of course the return of that badly dressed hippie. For about 2'000 years, excuses have been/to be made up to explain why he didn't turn up yet, but it can be every day now, make sure to hail the lord. Anyway, if we could ever use a helping hand, then it would be now, but the bugger is not on Facebook it seems. Haile Selassie was a better bet, but alas, not enough likes [like this post won't get many, wdic].

xpdf seems to have started to respect the not-copyable-flags, while in days yonder, it didn't. So now, even something like a manual of some command-line tools or a text book on C++ or Rust, you still have to re-type the text (wtf). Time to remove and search for something better, something that does not need a 0.5GB update every 3 days (on Windows). (yes, exaggerating slightly)

It's a Windows-thing, since W7, IIRC. It's ok now, but it has been buggy for years, and yes, who eats xps-files, so better it is, but it's not more useful.

I just learned something useful! There might be more crud in BSD, better avoid. The fact they only now remove gcc-4.2 as the base of their system has told me more than enough, thanks, but no thanks.

It would help if regedit had some confirmation dialog as opposed to the current 'direct' editing. An undo function [possibly persistent] wouldn't go amiss either.

From what I understand, the blocks are just "marked" as being deleted, the TRIM command erases/wipes the content. Windows does this [TRIM], in default setup, once a month.

Any specific online-places too look?

I cal it evolving repetition ...

In EDM you would use the word 'progressive' [house|trance].

I agree with you that Google or Facebook should be allowed to do what they want. The problem we face is that these companies run major (the dominant) communication channels, that's (IMHO) where the problem lies [it shouldn't be like that, but heck, we cannot trust our governments better than G or FB].

For a long time I ran Windows XP x64, which was basically Windows Server 2003 x64 without the server components, that worked great (and server grade patches, becoz they just send the server updates). It was free as well, as they we're testing the ground for x64 OS'es.

I don't see that happening. The T&S'ers engage in group-think, just look at how Trump attracts voters while being an absolute prick in every respect.

Speak up! Protest! Vote differently! ... and stop dumbing down by tapping and sliding.

Sound is not discrete either, it does not seem to be a problem on computers, though.

DGSE is not your opponent, they use rubber-hose decryption, works every time.

Yes, but already now they say it's 100 Euros, so they'll just keep on saying that.

Look inside your washing-machine, and you'll see there are no std-parts. To make this problem 'go away' for the industry is to charge high prices.

The result is obvious, spare parts will be available for ten years, but at crazy prices.

You hit the nail on the head. AI is nowadays defined as a very sophisticated form of curve fitting [thanks to TensorFlow a.o.], that's what training ANN's comes down to. There is clearly a lack of intelligence, f.e. the [main] method used to beat Lee Sedol was MCTS (with the help of some ANN's).

Nah, they just want to have sex with you.
