More accurately, "Direct3d 12 support".

So they've been working on wine since 1994. Here we are, almost 25 years later, and they STILL struggle to get anything meaningful to run on it. By "meaningful", I'm not talking about games. Even before they (Microslop) switched the interface to WPF, Visual Studio wasn't running successfully on Wine. Today, more than 10 years after WPF hit the streets, you still can't run a WPF app in Wine (that I'm aware of).
Sorry, but I'm tired of waiting...

Security researchers across the globe united in a project dedicated to sharing URLs used in malicious campaigns managed to take down close to 100,000 websites actively engaged in malware distribution. "Say we can, say we will. Not just another drop in the ocean "

For the sake of all that is OCD, that should have been 256 researchers.

255 - indexed by zero...

Mmm. Except they aren't given a serial #, they're counted. Therefore 'zero-index' as a concept here is broken.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like birthdays, you mean.
OK, so you can tell your girlfriend/wife that she's a year older than she says, but I'm sticking to the convention.

I do.
We've actually laughed about that. She's not so insecure as to dispute the truth...
My cards always wish her well for turning X years old, not for having her Nth birthday.
Unconventional? Sure. That's about how strange most people seem to us, too.

Ha!
(TMI? follows)
The first time I encountered the trope that emerged from that poem was in Penthouse or Playboy or similar as a cartoon and a teenager. In retrospect, it was probably a reasonably accurate portrayal of the poem's subject.
Unfortunately however, Gunga Din's water vessel was a large gourd, which, owing to the angle appeared to be a rather substantial piece of male machinery. Hence Gunga appears to have the old fella out filling someone's cup/bowl. "You're a better man than I, Gunga Din" 
Perhaps today'll be the first time I read it from start to finish. Cheers!

I want to work for these people. Seriously.
Doing something to prevent scum abusing users of the internet is an extremely worthy task, so kudos to all who do so.

Malware distributors say thankyou for providing a list of hosting providers who're slow enough in responding to abuse complaints that keeping their networks running will be trivial. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

Wow, just wow.
Lost count of the number of times I read sunshine in the comments section. Admittedly, it was part of every comment's title, but still.. Rather refreshing to see what appears to an unmoderated comments section on a non-invisible website. That was fun, thanks.

This will make a huge difference to my lifestyle.
(And, with luck, it will make a large difference to people's choice of web browser; I'm sick of sites that are designed only to work for google on google's browser)

A new working paper from the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the so-called central bank for central banks, concludes that Bitcoin is limited as a payment method because of the method, called proof of work, that it uses to secure its distributed ledger. I guess it's time to tie bitcoin to the gold standard?

Markie has "severe" lack of interest in something that is almost the exclusive demesne of drug-dealers and people who rank getting money for nothing above the lives of children.

Most criminals prefer dollars. We should ban the dollar in Europe, to fight crime and terrorism.

Yes, because JP Morgan are such wonderful, caring people.
I heard (from pals I worked with in the financial sector) that JP Morgan and Bloomberg are becoming interested in starting their own cryptocurrencies, so that they'll have control over them, the same way they have control over half the world's digital money.
IMO, the only thing that separates them from the drug dealers is that they don't sell drugs. Their behaviour is often just as criminal, and hurts just as many people.

It's just to show that there's a broader consumer-base than "criminals"; those still prefer dollars.

Sure.
As soon as use by the criminal element pushed up the "value" of the things by incredible percentages, "decent" people thought it was OK to capitalise on the misery they were causing.
Cryptocurrencies would still be a nerdy thing, like Asgardia, if it hadn't been picked up by drug dealers and other criminals as a way to hide their blood money.
Slavery used to be a great investment opportunity, too. Profit doesn't make bad things good.

Again, most criminals don't use BC, but dollars. We should ban the US dollar on the European continent for that reason.
