I've been developing software for likely longer than you've been alive.

That article you posted makes a supposition; that the developer is just misreading existing code to be poor when it's actually really good--which is absolutely not the case with Windows...

It's the only possible solution. The issue with Windows version to version is they merge shit into the base without worrying about how it affects the codebase as a whole. That's why we have 2-3 different ways to access different menus.

It depends. Some trackers will automatically add newly announced torrents. Some won't. In either case, adding them directly to the tracker is quicker.

Is there a list of super-seeding complaint clients? I can't seem to find one. Hell, I can't even check to see if my client supports it.

Cold storage is $2 per TB/mo. Could easily be crowdfunded. $410/yr to keep it around.

inalienable rights

Well, firstly the Constitution references unalienable rights, not inalienable. Secondly there are only three rights which are considered unalienable according to the Constitution; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The idea of unalienable rights is such that they're not given to us by law--they're given to us by God and cannot be taken away. Therefore any person, be they US Citizen or not, if they're in this country they're also protected by these rights. So detaining someone specifically because they don't have the right paperwork can be interpreted as denying someone their unalienable right to liberty. There are dozens of examples you can come up with, and not everyone will agree with them and that's pretty much the point.

The founding fathers specifically chose verbiage which was as broad as possible to limit the power of the Government and ensure that as long as you could make a convicting argument for it, then you could claim that just about anything is an infringement against your rights, which starts a discourse, and leads to new laws to either protect or curtail certain things.

So I actually just joined this community a few days ago to get some ideas. I live in a very old home, about 140-150 years old. It's been a really great house, but it has its quarks.

I initially came here to get some ideas for home improvements. So I guess I'll just ask. What are some extremely easy upgrades that you recommend someone with an old house make? They can be a little expensive, it doesn't matter.

Reread my post. You didn't do a good enough job the first time.

Piracy isn’t theft though.

Why would you reply without reading my entire post? Like why? What do you get out of it?
