Just because you have OS install media and hardware does not mean the hardware functions. In fact, old hardware often fails MEMTST.

Like when someone sends you a 500MB Excel file and M365 (32bit) on your 64bit work computer (where all your other apps are 64bit) won't open it and IT doesn't want to upgrade M365 because some add-ins they haven't made a list of won't work if they do?

Sometimes I just can't excel...

Do you expect the orange to read past your first sentence?

Not that unusual, really. Regardless of whether you agree with that law or not, it prohibits certain devices completely. Whether you choose to comply via some collection process or use some other method of disposing of or rendering the device non-functional is up to you.

Laws that disadvantage certain people always suck for them. And not all laws are obeyed.

FWIW I have always been ambivalent on this topic, but the increasing frequency of mis-use of such weapons is starting to become quite troubling for me.

I have no "proof of reality" to offer you (Plato had similar thoughts with his "shadows in a cave" analogy), but in all cases I have heard of pursuing these hypotheticals too far simply feeds neuroses rather than uncovering the Illuminati. The current US paroxysms of conservative conspiracy theories are IMO the product of failing to rein in such unproductive thought... do you really want to go down this road?

Your 26th century bit reminds me of the Continuum tv series. Entertaining story, but not likely to be worth building your reality on.

But don't do this on the fly... do it before you compile your program and use a lookup table at runtime.

I wasn't aware that ABC was the government. They may be acting like Trump's personal toadies, but I am pretty sure they are a private organization.

Vasectomy is like inflation... when it is zero the value we assume is described doesn't go up or down.

Odd...

Edit /etc/default/grub to include a timeout so the grub menu will be displayed before the default OS is run.

In my view, the choice is about whether you are better off with her or alone, including the financial implications of divorce.

While there may be "other fish in the sea", that is a poor basis for deciding whether a marriage is worth saving, and it will likely bite you in the divorce if it comes up.

Keep in mind that you will have to reconstruct your relationships with your family and friends along the way... which will likely be easier if at first you don't have a new partner.

Good luck!
