You could even mail it to somebody and when they open the mail, BAM. Or it could be included in the glue of business reply mail. Or wiped on your doorknob.

People who deface art in museums should have their citizenship stripped and be banished for life, at a bare minimum. The JUST STOP OIL billionaire woman's a heavy investor in the Chinese lithium sector.

Boeing's on military welfare, like many companies. It has no need to actually produce civilian planes or make profits any more. So why not bump off whistleblowers? Anyway the era of air travel for the masses is coming to a close if you look at all the different plans being hatched to roll up environmental fees into flying which are designed to be unaffordable for ordinary people.

No, not at all. Nothing with the system integration Hypercard had on the Mac and IIgs. It's pretty shitty that they took Hypercard and BASIC from the people. But we wouldn't have all these trillion dollar software companies these days if the user-developer had remained the core of computing.

Your same uncle who survived Sandy Hook and 911?

I see bots still posting this comment on every platform when optical media comes up. Disc rot is extremely rare and only happens with discs which had manufacturing defects. I have HUNDREDS of Laserdiscs and HUNDREDS more CDs. The only ones which rotted is Alien, which had a known manufacturing defect.

This even extends to "hate" that people unrelated to you, who have a vaguely similar skin tone committed. Or surely must have.

Intel's dropping x86, and moving all to amd64 with UEFI, that's just as bad.

>RISC-V OEM extensions will ensure that never takes off like people expect.

Just like ARM has failed in the market for this exact reason too. Intel ships thousands of CPUs for every ARM shipped, right?

Intel's getting destroyed on all fronts, let's not kid ourselves here. Plus foreign governments don't want the NSA-mandated hardware backdoors now that everybody knows they exist. Intel's OK I guess if you work for the government and need a computer with such a "feature" so the glowboys can keep tabs on you.
