If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Quote: “I imagine they might exist in massive ships … having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach.”
This sounds strangely familiar for some reason. I'm not sure what to say except perhaps: "'Merika Elephant YEAH!"
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The government law enforcement agency may have officially announced that it will no longer pursue Apple through the legal system for the company’s assistance in unlocking an iPhone 5c, but it’s also now being reported that the FBI has agreed to assist in the unlocking of an iPhone and iPod involved in an ongoing homicide case in Arkansas. I'm shocked. Shocked.

What now Apple assisted?
I knew it.

The rumour is that this company[^] cracked it for the FBI.

Yeah, sorry about that - it was the first article I found mentioning them, and my computer is muted most of the time so I didn't notice.

Can't you configure your browser? With Firefox, I set in
about:config
image.animation_mode=none
media.autoplay.enabled=false
and a proxy.pac script which sends many requests of ads-pages to 127.0.0.1

The Build Tools are the same C++ tools that you get with Visual Studio 2015 but they come in a scriptable standalone installer that only lays down the tools you need to build C++ projects. For those who don't feel like buying a VS license for your build server

An app to make the period of events and calendar months (IIRC this got hard coded to show only 1 mo in 2013) shown in Outlook's ToDo bar user configurable instead of being hard coded, or even an option for 'as many calendar events as there is room for'? Not wanting the regression from up to 30 days of notice about upcoming events on my main outlook view to only 7 days worth and the resultant big chunk of empty screen is the main reason I'm still using Office 2010 despite owning a 2013 license and being able to get a 2016 one for only $10 (via an employee discount program).

Scientists have found that people who constantly get bothered by grammatical errors online have "less agreeable" personalities than those who just let them slide. There you go: sceince proves it!

The SCO Group's attempt to extract billions from IBM for code allegedly written into the Linux kernel's codebase is still meandering through the legal system—13 years after the now-bankrupt company filed the IP infringement suit against Big Blue.

Still got a way to go to catch up with Jennens vs Jennens - a probate case that began in 1798, and was finally abandoned in 1915 when the legal fees had exhausted the estate of funds.
