If left alone, the paper reverts to its original state in five days.
I can think of a lot of corrupt politicians and businessmen that would love that feature.
Then again, the solution is probably refrigeration. So I think the carbon emission benefits of re-usable paper will be outweighed by the refrigeration.

Not entirely sure the re-use will offset the environmental costs of increased chemical production.
Scratch that - I'm pretty sure they won't, and the result will probably not be recycleable after those 80 uses.
Did Trump invest in this one?'

Microsoft hosts the Windows source in a monstrous 300GB Git repository | Ars Technica[^]
Quote: Git, the open source distributed version control system created by Linus Torvalds to handle Linux's decentralized development model, is being used for a rather surprising project: Windows.
Quote: Microsoft has been working to enhance Git to improve the way it handles vast repositories. Central to this effort is a new project released (in part) as open source Git Virtual File system (GVFS). The premise of GVFS is straightforward enough: rather than fetching all the data at once, only a bare skeleton of the repository needs to be populated up front.
Quote: Microsoft describes the GVFS driver as the "moral equivalent of the FUSE driver in Linux." If it truly is the moral equivalent of FUSE, it suggests that Windows will at last get the same kind of extensibility and scope for user mode file systems that Unix users have enjoyed for many years.

"If it truly is the moral equivalent of FUSE, it suggests that Windows will at last get the same kind of extensibility and scope for user mode file systems that Unix users have enjoyed for many years."
Whether they will expose that flexibility to 3rd parties is another question again.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Why don't they have isUserALuser(), or a LART class, for that matter?
class Luser: public User
{
public:
int clueLevel() const { return 0; }
private:
};
class LART
{
public:
LART(Luser&);
LART(LART const&) = delete;
LART& operator=(LART const&) = delete;
void ApplyToLuser(int level);
private:
Luser& luser;
}
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

isUserAMonkey(): Returns "true" if the user interface is currently being messed with by a monkey.
So:
public bool isUserAMonkey() {
return true;
} ?

It’s Safer Internet Day 2017, and Microsoft is challenging people around the world to embrace “digital civility” and to treat each other with respect and dignity online. "I love you, you love me. We're a happy family."
Avoiding the obvious joke (for once) of "Yeah, you (*&$#(*&$(#*&ers"

Aw..... So $%^&'in cute.
|

"Results show people experienced these top five risks online:
1. Unwanted contact"
Makes the civility bar pretty damn high.
|
|
|
|
|
While embracing digital civility and treating each other with respect and dignity online are noble goals, they have very little to deal with a safer internet. That is unless one associates things like malware and virii with being uncivil and rude to others online. It's kind of a reach for me but, then, that's microsoft for you.

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?

We're just as close as we can be
And just because we really care
Whatever we get, we share!
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?

Because the CLR is a managed environment there are several components within the runtime that need to be initialised before any of your code can be executed. This post will take a look at the EE (Execution Engine) start-up routine and examine the initialisation process in detail. Save for the next time you hear, "Why is it taking so long?"
So, dealing with your code is the *69*th step? :side eye:

I was mainly thinking about the earlier post about healthiest hours in the week, though I did think about the movie, but figured that reference was too obscure. I also wondered if the number should be 42.

I think the book may be slightly better known than the film(s) or television adaptions.
