What the damn Hell are you on about? What do you mean you can't download software outside of repositories? It's exactly the same process as on Windows or Mac: go to the website of the software you want, find the download page, and click on the download link for your OS. You'll either get an installer that works automagically, or a zip or tar file that contains an executable that you just extract and run. In the latter case you'll also generally get a README file that tells you exactly what else, if anything, you need to do to run the program. Unless, of course, you can't read. In which case I can't help you.

I don't see what the big deal is. Why bother with a useless one-shot weapon when you can build a Sten submachine gun instead? For history, the Sten was invented in World War II when the British suddenly needed to produce a shitload of weapons in a very short period of time. With no time to train gunsmiths or retool factories, they designed a submachine gun that could be built by a machinist of average skill using ordinary tools. Meaning you could build one of these in your garage if you wanted to. Guess how many people do? Not that many, as it turns out.

Did they though? I don't know what their terms originally were, but I guarantee they had a clause stating they could require verification at any time for any reason, and keep the customer's assets until they comply. This is why you're supposed to scroll all the way to bottom before clicking "agree".

a) is in the CheckBlockHeader() function (was CheckBlock() in older versions).
b) is in the AcceptBlockHeader() function (AcceptBlock() in older versions).
Both are defined in main.cpp.

I think I'll hold off selling until the February time-travel phase.

Weighted average $494.53 for me, with the lowest being $317.32. It seems I've improved since the last time this question was asked.

Why? I smell an X-Y Problem.

Better, though still borderline. It at least makes your meaning clear.

And don't get me wrong, it's not about length at all. Quality, not quantity. A single word can be meaningful (and an entire essay meaningless), and there's much to be said for brevity, it's just that if the word is "agree", "+1", or something along those lines, it simply isn't.

For a post to be substantial, it has to contribute to a discussion in a meaningful way. It contributes nothing to merely say you agree or disagree with a post; everybody already knows that a given post will be agreed with by some people and disagreed with by others, so saying so doesn't provide any new information. It is more meaningful to say why you agree or disagree with a post, or how it relates to your own situation or experiences.

Here's another post I would consider insubstantial:
I'm sure everyone with a sense of humour can see for themselves exactly how funny or unfunny this guy is. You saying so contributes nothing to the conversation. His funny comment is not even directed at you or involves you in any way.

And another:
This isn't even an actual response to the topic. Literally nobody needs or wants to read it. If you want to be notified of new responses to a thread, click the watch button at the page. I'm actually surprised this post wasn't deleted on sight.

I've also noticed that most of your posts, while not completely insubstantial, don't have much substance. You might want to try elaborating on your opinions more.

As long as there's no radiation, I call BS. The energy from nuclear reactions - any nuclear reactions - is carried by high-energy particles and/or gamma ray photons. The absorption of these radiations by the reactor assembly creates heat, which is used to generate electricity. But these guys are claiming to produce heat without any radiation. If there's no radiation, where's the heat coming from? This is not explained.

What do you mean, prototypes? Fuel cell technology is pretty mature, the problem is that hydrogen isn't a useful fuel, on account of not naturally existing in a free state. Hydrogen fuel must be manufactured, either by electrolysis of water (which consumes more electricity that you get by burning the hydrogen) or by decomposition of natural gas (which produces more greenhouse gases than simply burning the natural gas as fuel directly). This makes hydrogen a useful fuel only in specific applications where other fuels are unsuitable, such as space travel.

No it doesn't. Please stop trying to learn about quantum mechanics from blog posts.

WTF am I reading?
No, it's remarkable since it shows that two separate measurements disagree by such an insane margin that both are likely wrong. Neither are presented with any error bars.

The actual mechanism of the alleged transmutation is never explained either. Wake me up when there's some peer-reviewed data, please.

First of all, no, police don't normally receive much training in marksmanship, and very few are actually professional shooters. Secondly, and more importantly, the targets at the shooting range don't shoot back. That does make a bit of a difference.

Um, no. It's not safe for any citizen that comes in proximity of the police to pull out a gun and start firing in their direction. So don't do that.

I'm not a cop, just someone with more experience with firearms than just watching movies and playing video games.

Anyone who thinks 17 rounds is excessive has clearly been watching too many movies and has no idea of how gunfighting actually works in reality. In a gunfight, you keep shooting until your opponent is dead or unconscious, or they drop their weapon, surrender, or escape, or you run out of ammo. The latter outcome is one of the most common, as people usually do not instantly drop dead when shot. A single gunshot wound is rarely fatal, and even a fatal wound rarely kills quickly. It almost always takes multiple shots to quickly incapacitate someone, often a surprisingly large number to someone who's never seen an actual gunfight. This is one of the main reasons the police switched from revolvers to semiautomatics: revolvers may be simpler to use, but the people who say "6 shots is enough to kill anything" just plain don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

If what's good for the goose is good for the gander, does that mean you're bisexual?

Reading comprehension fail. They merely propose calling using XBT to refer to µBTC. There is no hard fork, nor are they creating coins out of thin air to give to themselves or anyone else (neither of which they actually have the power to do in the first place).

True. This particular dead cat clearly has the elasticity of a Super Ball.
