Slashdot Mirror

Do you think people aren't seeing that you are just cutting and pasting, without ever responding to anything I write?

Is the joke on me, are you only pretending to be retarded?

Don't like what they say?

They have flat out said that DOXXING is acceptable, that it's only a matter of wrong targets, not methods.

Hell, ZQ has retweeted doxxes of Wiki editors, including trans minors.

And claimed that he and Milo, are part of some professional doxxing organization, despite in reality they had never spoken prior to GG.

So, what should be changed about the DualShock? My answer is in this image.

Just throw classic shell on it, 8.1 is way better than 7. XP was great in it's day - as windows goes - It's day was just stretched a bit longer than it should have because Vista.

Not quite. Win8 (and by extension) Windows 10, still has problems where previously unified interfaces for controlling system behavior have been split between Metro/Modern apps and traditional windows.

One example: in Win7 I click the network icon in the notifications area and a small window pops up with the connections; I can then right-click a connection and select Status for information on what IP/DNS is currently assigned or Properties to get to its security information.

Clicking the network icon on Win10 does the same thing as Win8: giant Metro panel covering a large portion of the screen, most of it wasted in "Airplane Mode" that I have no use for, and right-clicking the connection only has options that are more at home in a cellphone than in a desktop OS: estimated data usage, metered connection, forget this network. Clicking "View Connection Settings" opens another Metro-style "PC Settings" window that is designed for touch, so OS standards like right-clicking don't work.

http://i.imgur.com/8Csqe77.png

In short, it's still trying to integrate two different UI designs, and it still doesn't work. It's not as terrible as Win8 at it, but it's still in plenty of places to be annoying. It's also very inconsistent in what gets a Metro panel and what doesn't.

You don't trust the Android that came with the device, and you don't trust the tools for your to get root access so you can change that.
Maybe this is the tablet you should be looking for.

/we did not get over Beta.

It's kind of fascinating to read all the comment flow on posts like these (which Slashdot has had a number of in the last few days)... Where the argument between the commenters eventually boils down to two sides:

1. There is a non-zero chance of badthing happening, and badthing is terrible, so it is my personal choice to give up freedomthing in order to reduce or remove the chance of badthing happening.
2. While badthing can happen, and is indeed terrible when it does, the chances are low enough and I find the benefits gained from freedomthing to be worth the risk, and it is my personal decision to continue doing freedomthing.

The meta discussion then becomes

3. I think person 1 and person 2 should be able to make their own choices
4. I think person 2 is irresponsible and should be forced to relinquish freedomthing because badthing

It's interesting but regardless of the issues it does seem like people who make choices based on their fears, seem to do so again and again. I'm not sure what would be required for person 2 to convince person 1 it is "Okay" and to embrace the freedom and forget the fear... Maybe a better understanding of risk analysis? I was lucky to have reasoning parents, who allowed me to take reasonable risk in search of the rewards of freedom, and taught me through example on how to judge those balances... but it wasn't until joining the Navy and being introduced to one of the few pieces of remarkably sane bureaucracy that they have -- The risk matrix http://imgur.com/kboHrxK

Basic concept here is:
1. Every risk is given a category based on two factors:
    a. What are the chances of something going wrong
    b. What is the severity of the thing that goes wrong
2. Once the the category is determined, then it is weighed against the value of the reward...

Basically, if the risk isn't worth the reward... Either mitigate the risk until it is within the reward value, or don't do it.

The case here, is Improbable chance of catastrophic result... Category 12... or medium risk. Medium risks are taken often, you mitigate whenever possible (short distance, they were together, familiar territory) and the reward here is children that are more independent and strong.

The world would be a worse place if people weren't allowed to make these kinds of choices for themselves...
But the world would be a better place if people were better able to find ways to understand and cope with their fear. All too often we are manipulated by it.

Just the warning here what can happen http://i.imgur.com/1HTsarr.jpg

The Newer/Older buttons on the front page shrank, so the background style doesn't cover all of the text.

Feed in past climate data and see if your climate model can predict the past or the present accurately.

While I agree with most of your post, what you describe here is not science. That approach turns science on its head. The scientific method begins with a reasoned hypothesis, followed by a prediction based on the hypothesis, and an experiment to prove or disprove this prediction. Climate "science" on the other hand does exactly what you describe here. It looks at past data and attempts to fit it to a hypothesis. That's not science at all. That's little more than a statistical model. These guys believe they have their answer and are trying to fit all observations to it.

The most non-science part of Climate "science" is the regular refrain that "There's a consensus, therefore, anthropogenic global warming is proven." If anyone so much as expresses doubt about this form of proof, that person is attacked. I believe this sums up my opinion of that succinctly.

It is /. and the EFF who are too, uh, "lazy" (yeah that's the ticket) to investigate the actual harassment. Once again, a Slashdot article makes reference to Gamergate in the context of harassment, but all the victims mentioned just happen to be on the anti-GG side. I'm beginning to have doubts that this is an honest mistake.

Much like a creative decision making meeting at SyFy, any stupid idea will be made.

Why leave it to the papers? Why leave it to the (cowardly according to American opinion) French?

EVERYONE should put one of Charlie Hebdo's caricature onto one's homepage.

This one seems to be fitting especially if you are a Jew (Texts reads in my miserable translation "You shall not critizise us").

Another nice one reads again miserably translated "Darling, I 'm just downstairs for 5 Minutes to search for that Journal" (not sure that actually is from Charlie Hebdo but it came up on google).

If you want others, especially if you are a Muslim and consider the above not annoying enough, there are more examples although lacking translation.

Some Charlie Hebdo cartoons with translation.
That would be great if magazines worldwide could support Charlie Hebdo and the free world by publishing some of these cartoons (with a better translation ;-)

1. "Mahomet is overwhelmed by fundamentalists" Balloon:"It's hard to be loved by jerks"

2. "Charia Hebdo" Balloon:"100 lashes if you do not LOL [Lit.: die loughing]"

3. "Coran is crap..." "It's not bullet proof"

...

So I'm not the only one who read that as the basis for a bad made-for-SyFy movie.

Plucky protagonist: Oh no, the Starivore is coming to eat our sun!

Glasses wearing scientist: Yes Plucky, and there's nothing we can do about it!

Ribbon laden general: We'll nuke it!

Plucky protagonist: But the nuclear detonation would only make it stronger.

Glasses wearing scientist: You have a point there Plucky, I'm glad you figured that out before we made a terrible mistake.

Ribbon laden general: Too late, the missiles have already launched, there's nothing we can do.

Glasses wearing scientist: There's only one thing we can do, stop it with a black hole!

[all somewhat technical people viewing it]: shit, I should have known better than to watch more SyFy channel crap.

Shit, I really shouldn't have said anything. Now they'll really make that movie. Right after Sharkgle.

I bought it. Lesson 1 was, "here's how you light up an LED! Connect the LED, a resistor, and the power source!"

So I think, great! I've got this. Okay, what's next? Lesson 2, "build this IR transmitter that communicates with your personal computer" ... fffffffffffffffffuuuu~

(not exactly that, been a while so I don't recall the specifics, but it was about that bad. It's the art instruction equivalent of this.)

And I first thought they were talking about some defensive lipstick girls can wear in discos or dance clubs when predators like these approach them: http://imgur.com/gallery/NxLYc... , such as you can find here, https://www.stargazer-products... Now the question is how to make it activate and glow at will in the dark in the disco, such as indium-tin-oxide conductive coating and a small battery hidden inside a hearing-aid-like device behind the ear, and possibly a remote control switch in your pocket.

PS. On another note perhaps it's not a good idea to carve up the Moon into space stations, because so much of terrestrial life has adapted to tides, nocturnal vision, or even the lunar cycles such as women's and other mammal's periods. Possibly it could be turned into a ring orbiting around itself and going around as if the center of gravity of the moon has been maintained, while also providing artificial gravity outward due to spinning and easy life. Most likely some of the Moon will be used to put up like 1% Earth total surface area shades around the Lagrange point between the Sun and the Earth, or even a massive Fresnel lens later if we have mini ice-ages on us again, but the gravitational and light effects of the Moon are depended on by so much of terrestrial life, such as cats hunting at night that it's not worth messing with it. However Mars is a different question, and it may disappear way before the Moon does, and whether it should ever disappear is what I'm talking about here. So the Muslims should probably be safe keeping the new Moon on their flags and top of their mosques and minarets. And all this goes to show that everything I say on here has to be taken with a grain of salt, or two.

Jamie goes to replace the battery in a Dodge Stratus they purchased and has to take one of the wheels off in order to access it

Not quite that bad, but I have an older Chevy Lumina and in order to replace the battery you have to

- remove a front-end crossbar, the bolts of which have about a 50% chance of being welded to the chassis with rust
- remove the windshield washer reservoir, which involves removing the pump that's attached at the bottom of the container (without spilling too much fluid on the battery)
- remove a bracket from overtop the batter which is connected to the chassis under the air filter housing, requiring at least a 10-inch wrench extender (12" is better)
- remove another bracket that holds the battery in place, also fixed with a bolt located 10 inches down a tiny hole.
- wrestle the battery out past the main fuse/distribution box, which it barely fits past without breaking it
- repeat the process in reverse with new battery

Here's a picture. It's a nightmare.

It's so bad I found several sites online describing the process and mocking the designers of the vehicle. I understand that space is at a premium under the hood, but FFS, this is just bad.

Do you need that? Seems very specific. I was generally referring to those groups that are opposed to the likes of 4chan and 8chan. I guess I can use google to find some harassment by anti-gamergaters if you really want it.

Milo Yiannopoulos receives a dead animal,
Threatening phone calls
One person claims to have been fired, and another had someone complain to their boss
Threats against a gamergater's family

Quite honestly I find the whole thing depressing. #Gamergate has a lot of people talking about corruption in the games industry, but way too many of its members fixated on loud, pointless people. Anti-gamergate has this bizarre conspiracy theory that somehow 4chan, 8chan, and a large number of female and ethnic minority gamers, journalists and even a few outspoken feminists are working together in the cause of "misogyny", for its own sake.

People with a political agenda have grabbed both sides of the debate and made it about unrelated political issues.

Most likely candidate is a dust spot on the near element of the lens that got knocked off when you turned the camera off. You can get all sorts of interesting optical effects when something is that badly out of focus.

It is/was a crappy fixed focus 2.0 megapixel camera in a phone, sealed lens/camera unit with no moving parts, so I doubt it is dust on the rear element, but can't rule it out completely.
I can't remember what the effective DOF was for the beastie, so whatever is captured could be closer to the lens than it appears.
The camera on the phone wasn't really intended to take anything other than snaps.
Dug out the original, have a look here, spot the bogey..

Before reading TFA or TFS, I suggest Chrome users install the BitBeans extension.

Enh. TFA seems long on speculation. I can see Microsoft doing this in an effort to (a) create a browser that is performant on portable hardware, (where their competition clearly beats them) and (b) try to (eventually) dump the millstone of decades of backwards compatibility, which is, in general, a good thing. [1] But just because it's a logical move is not proof in and of itself that Microsoft is actually doing it.

But I wonder how different, and especially how "lightweight" this hypothetical browser can be if it's using the same rendering engine? Wouldn't it just be IE with a different skin?

[1] apropos of nothing: Over Christmas break, at my daughter's request, I installed an old Windows 95 game on her Windows 7 PC, and it worked! I was deeply impressed. And a little appalled.

"We now live in two Americas. One—now the minority—functions in a print-based, literate world that can cope with complexity and can separate illusion from truth. The other—the majority—is retreating from a reality-based world into one of false certainty and magic. To this majority—which crosses social class lines, though the poor are overwhelmingly affected—presidential debate and political rhetoric is pitched at a sixth-grade reading level. In this “other America,” serious film and theater, as well as newspapers and books, are being pushed to the margins of society.

In the tradition of Christopher Lasch’s The Culture of Narcissism and Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death, Pulitzer Prize-winner Chris Hedges navigates this culture—attending WWF contests, the Adult Video News Awards in Las Vegas, and Ivy League graduation ceremonies—to expose an age of terrifying decline and heightened self-delusion."
