Seems to me all the uni should have to do is appeal, and point out that there is already a legal remedy that exempts publishers of copyright non-dramatic media from having to comply with the act,

It seems to me that the ADA was a reason, but not the primary one. The real reason being they didn't want others using their work in unanticipated "free" ways. Sadly Berkley is not the place that it once was.

Yeah. And the ISS was in part paid by me, so I want a ticket on the next ride there to inspect my property!

Neogaf isn't a hive mind? Or will you claim that *insert thing isn't a source* like you usually do? Feel free to hit your favorite search engine and use "neogaf" "ban".

Meanwhile, as Vice President of one of the oldest mineralogical societies in California, I've secured their entire network exactly as I described and ran a full-out attempt to get any ad to display on our computers.

ZERO ADS DISPLAYED.

I just block the largest ad networks off the bat by wildcard IP and it's fucking done in my router. ZERO ADS TOUCH ME.

Apparently, you're not smart enough to figure out that the ad companies paid for static IPs for easy configuration, in whole blocks. Just block the entire fucking range.

Code line reduction by four fucking orders of magnitude.

I wouldn't be so sure about creativity and insight either. Check out this sketch, colored by an AI neural network based on just a few squiggled hints. You can hardly argue that coloring isn't creative, and that's an AI that exists right now -- the tech is only improving as time goes on.

That doesn't look too impressive - a better bucket-fill basically. The shading is random, after all, not based on depth and lighting.

And as for creative reasoning, I saw this recently. It's an AI neural network that can color images based on a few hand-drawn squiggles of hints. Okay, so coloring isn't reasoning, but it's creative and that thing does a better job at it than I could. And it exists now and you can play with it yourself over here.

What's their motivation? They're happier teaching American kids feminist dance theory. If there's no political pressure from industry to fix the education system it won't happen. Industry has no motivation to pressure politicians because they're fine, they can get their workers from other countries on the cheap.

the mozilla team keeps adding stuff to it that normal browsers dont need in order to surf websites, why didnt they fork it off and make a separete browser for phones & tablets, there is a boatload of stuff in the x86 PC browser that i dont need, plus when they screwed up the menus & addressbar & tool bar that was the last straw, i dont want to relearn the interface every time someone gets a wild hair to rearrange everything, fuck em, i use chromium mostly, and occasionally Palemoon (fork of the old good firefox) for some websites that are simple, and keeping an eye on Vivaldi which looks fairly decent. this pic is what firefox is now, it is not a sleek slender fox anymore, it has become a fat bloated old dog http://i.imgur.com/F0qAJrC.jpg

I'm still waiting for something that a host file can do that a firewall cannot. Fact is, there isn't anything and you can not answer. You keep going on and on about how a firewall can't handle millions of entries, yet they can. They do. I'm not sure how much RAM you think firewalls have these days, but it's probably more than is in most PCs. Hell even my home router can handle them. Don't believe me? Take a look: https://imgur.com/a/EFVRn Those lists look familiar? They should, I took them from your own INI file. All those loaded, and still over 87% RAM free. Must be magic. Or, you know, the people the wrote the firmware has some idea of what they were doing. And just like with your host files, if any client on my network does a lookup for any of the domains on those lists, they will get back 0.0.0.0. All while making no changes to the client devices. I don't need to worry about pushing out host files, don't need to worry about allowing an executable to run with elevation, don't need to worry about malware tampering with the hostfile entries. Every single device behind that firewall is protected, including those where the host file can't be accessed such as smart phones, tablets, gaming consoles, TV's, and IP cameras. And no, there are no backdoors in the firmware. It's not the stock crap from the manufacturer. It's also fully open source so I can (and have) verify this for myself.

And that's just what is possible with a home device. Enterprise level I can block no only hostnames, but specific URLs, use deep packet inspection to stop malware that is being served by hosts not on your list (you know it's easy to REGISTER a domain name as well, right?), rewrite web traffic to remove potential scripting threats and report them for review by the admins, and even use machine learning to detect aberrant traffic patterns and stop them, providing protection from unknown exploits. Like to see a host file do any of that.

But lets go back and look at plugins. You know all that memory you complained about them using? Your solution, by your own admission, does the same thing. Only you hide it by offloading it to the OS, which has to cache your giant hosts files in RAM. So while your app may not use as much, you are being deceitful by not counting the RAM used by the OS to cache the host files. Also your solution can't block page elements. A browser plugin can block ads sourced by the same CDN as the site they are on, your host files cannot without also breaking the website itself. They can not only block ads from outside CDNs, they can remove the formatting around them, cleaning up the presented webpage in addition to blocking the ads. Hrm. Seems I found something else host scan't do huh?

page 120 which I quoted above says very clearly that the complainant made up the threat themselves.

Yeah no it doesn't. It's empty, ya plonker.

Here's a picture of the PDF in Okular on page 120:

It's going to be very difficult in the future to make claims about the guilt of gamergate when the FBI report says that the complainants made up the threats themselves (yeah, on page 120).

Actually according to the text you quoted from some other page (or just made up, who knows, since you can't seem to be able to provide a source), it doesn't say she made up the threat. It said it was falsely attributed to a group of her enemies. That means it didn't come from the group of people she said it came from. That further means it came from someone else, the who being not specified and certainly not given as her.

The FBI agent then notes that for the sake of everyone's lives the claims need to be investigated. In other words, he's taking the claim of the threat seriously but notes the threat has been attributed to the wrong people.

Seriously dude if you're going to make shit up, you should at least make up shit that supports your point, not that says the exact opposite.

Funnily enough that actually makes me think you haven't made it up. It could well be somewhere other than page 120, because surely no one could be that dim.

Actually, I think they'd mostly be happier with Toyota Camry healthcare at Toyota Camry prices instead of the Chevy Nova healthcare at Bentley Mulsanne prices they're paying now.

Not sure what you don't understand, but do these look like IP addresses to you? https://imgur.com/a/44AnF

You can block hosts at the firewall, you are not limited to just IP's. I think it's you that needs to take a refresher in compsci and networking. Your understanding seems to be a few decades out of date.

Ironic really, since the USA is more like Brave New World than Nineteen Eighty Four

True. Whereas Britain, where the story essentially takes place, actually is becoming exactly like 1984 every day.

Ironic really, since the USA is more like Brave New World than Nineteen Eighty Four

Ugh, Brave New World was such a tedious chore to read.

Ironic really, since the USA is more like Brave New World than Nineteen Eighty Four

And in many ways closer to Jules Verne's Paris in the Twentieth Century.

It was spot-on with people's absorption with their smartphones and tablets. And living in "micro-spaces". And the demise of literature in libraries. And technology-worship.

I'm sure you think you were making some kind of cogent point there. However, speaking in baby talk to try and mock someone else just makes you look retarded. I have no idea what you are trying to say, nor do I care to.

This comes to mind: http://i.imgur.com/n8umjWj.png

Like this?

Nobody rushing the stage shouting "You are the greatest monster in human history!" while blasting away?

You are assuming the wrong side has time travel.

Tesla have some cool tech and all, but your above statement is not true.

Their model s P90 motor I believe is nominally a 7000 rpm motor. After this it goes into field weakening, where it starts to drop torque as speed increases. Power is kept somewhat up there as power=speed*torque, where the increased speed accounts for some of the lost torque. But acceleration is only affected by torque at a constant gear. See this old chart of how the old Roadster compares to a Camaro using variable gears

Even if you don`t care about top speed, you could in theory achieve slightly higher efficiency with variable gears

It might be a stupid story, but not for the reasons you point out, if you look at the world GDP trend and current distribution it's clear that we're converging. The 1970s when there was a grand canyon between the extremely rich "first world" and the extremely poor "third world" isn't coming back. For sure, right now that machine might fall in the gap where it's worthwhile in the US and not worth it in India. But it's a factor of 10:1 in GDP today and getting less, India's GDP grows by 5-9% and the US by 2-4% per year. Sure there's still expensive and cheap labor, but that they will work for next to nothing is becoming a thing of the past.

And to be honest, one order of magnitude is not much when you talk about automation. Cheaper CPU/GPU/RAM, better/cheaper sensors, downpaid software, mature design and economics of scale often means that if version one works for the US, version two will operate at double the speed at half the purchase/maintenance cost and the whole first world will buy. And when version three rolls around doubling speed and halving cost again even India is in trouble. I think you're either stuck before version one where it's not practically feasible at all or it'll zip past and become something computers/robots do instead of people.

Hasbro seems to have succeeded in persuading news sites to write just the kind of headlines they wanted, lamenting the "replacement" of the "iconic" top hat and dog with hash symbols and emojis. This is just another silly rebranding of the same old game, just like the countless other editions.

You might be interested in a long Imgur post entitled How to Win at Monopoly and Lose All Your Friends. It says that Monopoly was actually based on a game that was intentionally designed to be unfair and irritating in order to make a political point about the evils of capitalism, which is why many people play with house rules that make it more friendly but also drag it out into a tedious game of chance.

So that's what you need to do to get Apple to fix your bug. A couple years I found a bug in their version of sqlite3, it stopped accepting international characters (chinese, japanese, specifically). I tried to submit a bug via their bug reporting console, and I got this error message. So I sent an email to the address listed there, explaining the situation, and I got a response,
"Please report that through our bug console." The console was still broken.

It's a good deal because the customer will have to buy another one after 3 or 4 years due to burn in or the blue wearing out. It's a great deal for the vendor.

(Continues to lament that we can't have both true black and a display technology that won't burn in or wear out quickly).

I had to check the date because that ceased to be an issue a couple of years ago. My LG OLED gets around 70-80hrs a week of use due to me working nights and the wife working days and its now almost 2 years old with no sign of burn in and the blue is still where it should be, maybe because I had my TV calibrated which resulted in blue being reduced by between 8% and 10% from 20 IRE to 100 IRE. It went from this to this after calibration.

First off, I'm a liberal. Voted for Hillary, although my heart belonged to Bernie. I'm not afraid of Trump, though, so I'm apparently not a very good liberal.

Haha you sure aren't! You sound exactly like a centipede (member of the alt-right). Why would someone who is socially about 16 lightyears to the right of anyone with a D beside their name have any interest in Hillary or Bernie? Maybe you're fiscally liberal, but there's some conflict between being fiscally liberal and socially conservative, which is why it's a vanishingly rare combination.

You know what, returning this one.

Considering that Hillary Clinton is extremely hard right, more right wing (but less authoritarian) than Trump, yeah, I guess I'm just a bad liberal for being upset that the Dems put forth a Neo-Conservative candidate in defiance of their base.

If I was following my political views, I'd have voted Jill Stein. Every Liberal would have. Since it's quite clear the DNC has lost the benefit of the doubt -- the "Russian Hackers" conspiracy theory has proven this without a doubt -- I think I will next time.

That's the horrific thing that has to be scaring the DNC. They used to have a "Youth Wall" -- they could assume people under around 30 would support them no matter what. That may no longer be true -- and it may be why they were trying to hobble the growing New Right movement online by claiming outrageously stupid things like "Pepe's a white nationalist!"

Remember, Hillary was openly calling for war with Russia (via no-fly zones in Syria). Trump got the GOP -- the GOP -- to give a standing ovation to the idea of protecting LGBT rights. But somehow he's Literally Hitler (tm) and going to set LGBT rights 30 years. Why? Because that's easier than admitting the Democrats have a problem.

Oh do please tell us, all you Wikileaks supporters, just how wonderful an organization it is, as it begins the process of trying to fuck over hundreds of thousands of people whose only crime was verifying their account.

Sure. Let me just start this with something important.

The article is false. Wikileaks does not wish to dox anyone. They wish to create a database of influence. Politician X votes a certain way, you can check and see he was paid off by Corporation Y. Journalist A working for Publication B is owned by Corporation C, which has connections to X, Y, Z, W.

For example, here's a list of reporters who were outed as colluding with the Hillary Clinton campaign via the email leaks.

http://imgur.com/a/oO3FS

Here's a second, more exhaustive list: https://i.redd.it/ol970kkt2nyx...

And Breitbart has more details: http://www.breitbart.com/wikil...

(Remember kids, the Genetic Fallacy -- "Herp Derp BREITBART FAKE NEWS" -- means your argument is invalid and I win!)

So. How many of those reporters had disclaimers mentioning that they were actively working with HRC's campaign on their articles talking about HRC, Bernie, or Trump?

Basically, Wikileaks is talking about taking the GamerGate corruption and conflict of interest database, http://deepfreeze.it/ , and port the idea to the mainstream.

Now, having put the above information forward -- the example of the kind of collusion and influence that Wikileaks is wanting to create a map of, can you see why the people at CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News would be a liiiitle upset that someone might want to make a database following their biases, conflicts of interest, nepotism, and the like?

I mean, after all Trump is a Racist, Bigot, Homophobe, but the four Chicago assholes torturing a guy with mental deficiencies is ... a non-story.

What? It was on both NBC and CBS national news broadcasts last night. I'm positive without even looking that it was on FOX News. At this moment, it's the prominent top story on CNN ("Hate Crime Charges. 4 charged for Facebook Live torture of special-needs teen"), the #2 story on NBCNews.com ("Teens in Facebook Torture Video Face Hate Crime Charges") and above the fold on CBSNews.com ("Hate crime charges in attack live-streamed on Facebook. Four black suspects are in custody in the attack on a mentally disabled white teen from suburban Chicago"). If this is your idea of a non-story, you should take your blinders off.

Enough said
