but *supposedly* not because of caving to corporate interests but for showing "police brutality" and "assault and/or battery"

Good point. At that point, everyone had wasted a lot of time and could taste getting home. OP pointed out that this wasn't an overbooking situation where they would have done this. It appears they sat everyone, then some employees showed up and THEN someone at the terminal decided (possibly going by united guidelines which are possibly in violation of law and common sense) to boot off someone already seated.

It's been pointed out that this is why United is trying to pretend the doctor was being disruptive, because they pretty clearly broke the rules.

I don't know COBOL, but I do like this joke (which has been floating around much longer than this Reddit post): https://www.reddit.com/r/Progr...

"it'll mean closed-source graphics drivers will have to support 2 display servers, and they may not want to do that"

Okay. That's sort of true, but one of the big things was that Canonical from word start seemed hostile to the Wayland community. Now that's not saying a lot because as we all know a lot of communities in the FOSS world are pretty hostile by nature. So I'm not saying that justifies the hate that went down, but it play a big role.

Here's a link from the Ask Ubuntu site and the first comment under the accepted answer pretty much sums up the frustration that a lot of folks had.

This still doesn't answer what advantages mir offers, it just answers why Wayland was not chozen

Canonical blows at PR, if they were trying actively trying to woo people to their argument, they were doing an incredibly bad jobs at it. Now I get, they're developers and they don't need to be disturbed with BS like, "Hey! Why you doing this thing Canonical? Why you no just use Wayland?" etc. However, Canonical could have easily stepped in and really done some outreach to help people get behind their brand, which they sort of did; I know Jono Bacon did a whole lot of outreach and he was pretty damn amazing at it. I personally don't think Ubuntu was the same when he left but that's seriously just me, I think. However, the point was that Canonical constantly wasn't always forthcoming about their plans and it really got heated as the infamous "Not Invented Here" argument really took them like a California wildfire. NIH basically took everything that they were working on and twisted it into a conspiracy theory of how this was all a splintering of pure bred Linux (for whatever that means).

You take that crazy NIH mentality and add it a touch of salt from people thinking that Canonical was "M$" in disguise, or they were some young upstarts (ha! I made myself laugh with upstart) that didn't understand the philosophy of Unix, there were a few more crazy notions out there but I think those two covered a lot but I digress. You take all that fervor and combine it with Canonical's lack of touching base and at times actively retreating from addressing this and it basically was a fire no one was putting out.

Now I'll say that initially Canonical did try to stick the olive branch out there, but they got a first degree burn and basically said never again (ish, but mostly just never really said anything outside their circle so it was mostly a "well we're just not going to talk to them anymore"), only later to see themselves on the spit over some coals. I don't think Canonical did anything wrong per se but FOSS seems to be a different world of thinking of software purity. That purity comes in about a billion different flavors but they range from RMS grade "open source or nothing" to RedHat grade "we are the community work with us or become an outsider." I think Canonical just simply pissed off enough of those groups to finally reach a tipping point where it became mainstream to piss on Ubuntu.

I will say this, the different communities in the FOSS world are highly ideological and that's helped them to a point, but we are reaching the top of the curve where that helps and moving into the part where it begins to start hurting. At some point these multitude of little tribes and what not are just going to have to let go of the notion of "pure bred" Linux and realize the world is changing. Things like Wayland, systemd, GNOME3, and so on are things that exist and be it that they conform to what that group thinks is good or not, they'll just have to accept the world the way it is or get busy on the alternative. However, a lot of folks seem to be content with either purify with fire or apathetically stating, "get thicker ski

Games like "Mega Man Legacy Collection" use emulators.

"After digging around the engine in a disassembler, yup, there's a NES emulator in here. (The classes that "hold" the games are even called bs::nes::MegaMan which implements a bs::nes::NESSystem class too :P)"

Fucking hell, linking to a blog that "tracks and mocks the white male rage" isn't exactly providing reliable citations. You've effectively posted "here is a racist sexist site that tells you why the people it's racist and sexist towards are awful".

It did however include a link to https://www.reddit.com/r/MGTOW... which I'll happily agree contains people that are every bit as bad as rabid feminists, and will condemn just as much.

if you look at post histories on Reddit you can see people getting radicalized as post after post about how awful women are slowly changes them from "I had a bad experience" to "bitches are crazy".

Again, parallels to feminism - except the radicalisation there occurs in universities these days.

Luckily most people get on well with all sexes and genders, and in my circle of friends we only want to murder people that use selfie-sticks.

Actually, there are laws in several cities and states banning sleeping IN vehicles but ON them may be perfectly legal. Reddit has a sub on van living.

Why the love on maths, physics make much more sense, whilst yes there is maths involved the formulas all tie in together much better. Maths formulas if you can remember them are a real hassle, physics if you have the basics you can construct the more complex ones. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskPh...

It is very interesting to see this kind of comment (I'm assuming you are not trolling or a paid user). If you check on what happened on Reddit against the Trump supporters and on censoring good part of what was being discovered on the Wikileaks files you will see a very different narrative.

I'm not American (Brazilian), but for various reasons that are irrelevant here I was against Hillary in your elections (remember that the US does interfere in every country, eg. your president decides if we get to keep the president we elect - we didn't). Also irrelevant, but I had preferred candidates in Ds, Rs and Greens.

Boards were having rules changed to ban posts by Trump supporters and users. Posts that were mere reproductions of what was being discovered in WL dumps were being prevented from getting to front page, etc. At a point the banning and the censorship of facts (I'm talking WL, not "alternative facts" or bogus intelligence reports) was so serious that there was a lot of talk about where people should go to do the collective work of going through the data and publishing the discoveries without censorship.
Before the election I used to browse Reddit for news. By the end of the election I had completely lost my faith in Reddit as a place to look for information, they are as good as Imgur right now. Fun for memes, interesting for the occasional research post, but will hide the serious stuff.

There was one day when FP didn't have any of the news in every major newspaper in the world, including the Hillary supporting ones like NYT and WP.

I think that those conspiracy theories that are propagated by more than the usual crackpots may be a result of people realizing just how much fake news, biased news and "opinion pieces" there are in the mainstream media.
They overshoot the goal and now see fake news everywhere even when in some cases there are none.

In fairness, a good many conspiracies have turned out not to be crackpot ramblings, but real conspiracies. /r/conspiracy has a nice list of confirmed conspiracies. You don't need to go through that whole list to understand why the country and it's controlled media are not trusted. I'll give one extremely concrete example of why the majority of young adults learn that the prevailing narrative in this country is complete, made up, biased bullshit: marijuana. Truth is not available for most of these occurrences. As a "conspiracy theorist," I don't look at the crazies who cling to alternative media like gospel any different than the "normal people" who cling to the mainstream narrative as gospel. It's the same phenomenon either way. The whole population has been gaslit for generations. We literally cannot find up from down.

Virtually everyone I've suggested or installed Linux Mint (including my young students and Mom) were very happy with with Linux Mint (or haven't called to complain so I assume that is a thumb's up, hence the word "virtual"). It's updates are easy/peasy. If you need to install anything not already in the Linux Mint repository, any Ubuntu compatible package should work in Linux Mint including Steam (A gaming purchase/DRM platform I avoid on principle of being anti-DRM). With lots of games (especially though (I hate to say) Steam), office apps, and Netflix being compatible on modern Chrome/Firefox browsers. There is no reason I can imagine you will ever need to go back to M$ (dirty) Windows. You may want to do a little checking into adding new repositories you trust if there are any apps you need and want regular updates for that are not part of the Linux Mint repository.

I always thought that Costco's Kirkland Signature was a rebrand of someone elses stuff. Kirkland Signature Vodka is a rebrand of Grey Goose (or a near-perfect match, according to a few vodka pros I've talked to). They may have their own food production facilities, dog food facilities, clothing manufacturing shops, stills and breweries, print shops, and hardware manufacturing factories (for assorted desks, garage stuff, tools, etc...) but I sincerely doubt it. An old reddit thread agrees, kinda.

If it's a rebrand, then Costco isn't really responsible for the manufacturing part, only the advertising and sale. Oracle didn't sue Samsung over Android (though I'm sure they tried or would have), they sued the source - Google. The fact that Costco is standing up for their supplier is interesting.

Chrome OS is not a full OS. It is a "lightweight OS designed primarily for web-based computing within a browser window."

A few months ago I got a game that, unfortunately, depended on PulseAudio. I'd been PA-free for years because of problems with it in the past, but I figured it's been long enough that I could give it another chance. As it turns out, this was a terrible idea. You see, I wear headphones. Fairly good ones, with a pretty good volume range. Using them, setting the system volume to around 20-30% of maximum gives a normal, comfortable volume level. I've used them like this for about a decade now with no trouble. At least I did, until I installed Pulse Audio.

You see, PA has a horrible misfeature it calls "flat-volumes". When flat-volumes is enabled, PA-using applications can indirectly change the system-wide volume setting; if the app tries to set its own volume higher than the system volume, PA dutifully increases the system volume along with it. What makes this even worse is, the first time you open an application that uses PulseAudio, it defaults to -- you guessed it -- 100%.

Unfortunately, I had no idea that this "feature" existed until too late. So, after I installed PulseAudio, I started my audio player -- with headphones off, just in case -- and tweaked the various volume knobs to get things comfortable. System volume looked good, and I thought I was set. Then, later, another PA-using application started at 100% while I was listening to music, and it blasted my ears, because suddenly it was at 100% volume when 20% is the safe, comfortable level.

Now I enjoy some minor hearing damage and a constant ringing in my ears. Thanks, Lennart.

Oh, and this absolutely insane default is a known problem. Many distros have started disabling it by default by changing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf, but it's not universal because the PA upstream still thinks flat-volumes is a good default because they think that if 100% is too loud then it's a problem with your soundcard, speakers, etc. and not their fault. (I tried to find the "it's not our fault, your shit is wrong" justification page again to provide a link, but I don't remember what search terms I used to find it before, unfortunately.)

It's not just me, either: here's another story about it from the fedora mailing list, and here's a different one from Reddit. There are even more stories about it online if you search. The only difference with me is I actually suffered some real damage from it.

So, I'd have to say my experience with Pulse Audio has been fairly negative, because my attempt to "skip the whining and bitching, get with the times and install it already" literally caused me physical harm because the know-it-all devs would rather have an unsafe default than admit they did something dumb. People joke about ALSA defaulting to mute, but at least it never blasted my ears.

Unfortunately, as I note in a comment there several days ago, not all the lectures seem to have made it...

After reading up, I'm getting the feeling that the home run THROBBING BONER victory condition is to cannibalise what they perceive as Bitcoin's inherent scalability limit.

I suspect this premonition/pretense/pretext is the money-bag money-shot behind the scenes.

The Appcoin Revolution: Interview with Mike "Buttercup" Vine of LBRY:

CT: Do you see a possibility where (intentionally or not) your appcoin becomes an altcoin, and competes with Bitcoin as a currency?

MV: Yes, any appcoin has the potential to overtake Bitcoin. In the commodity world, it's hard to find something that can compete with gold as money because of gold's unique physical properties and distinctiveness [money-bug blather redacted]. There is a strong argument that you do want to have a resource that is used primarily as money. LBRY Credits are not designed to outcompete Bitcoin in that role.

However, if Bitcoin adoption levels off and LBRY apps are used by billions of people, then cryptocurrency speculators and users may decide that they feel more comfortable holding and using an asset that has a more widely-demanded end use.

But surely that's only a stretch goal. The next level down is harder to pinpoint.

Bitcoin will still be a payment option on the LBRY app, but it won't power the network. Fortunately, services like ShapeShift.io will make it easy to convert LBRY Credits to Bitcoin and back.

Sounds easy.

Shapeshift.io has been hacked

Oops. Now the claim from ss.io is that they had fully effectively firewalled user assets and that this is not the hack you're looking for. Okay, sure.

The boundary to the real economy is no small matter. I could be earning LBRY Ponzi credits tomorrow. Oh, yes, they are a Ponzi credit (on the production side) until you have a valid plan to get them back out again (and a lot can happen between here and there). As things stand, appears that the main road out exits through the Fire Swamp known as Bitcoin. Nobody ever gets burned or sandbagged or ROUSed to death en route there. Sign me up.

I do kind of like this new era of kinder, gentler, reduced friction, liberal-values, neoliberal Ponzi schemes (we'll not discuss the environmental Death Star of sweaty appcoin minting minions.)

But ... bottom line, end of the vine, to get out, there has to be an equal and opposite demand to get in. Well, that's 90% of the iceberg here, and the sticky end of the wicket, too.

Norway like Denmark has extremely high taxes on cars... In Denmark you pay for the car 3 times, once to the manufacturer, twice in taxes :) hehe

The effect:
1) Fewer cars on the road, less traffic, pollution, etc...
2) Fewer cars imported (good for balance sheets),
3) Many old cars on the road (bad for the environment, safety)

Because the taxes are so high it simply prices anything put the cheapest cars out of the market for most people. This doesn't just affect the rich, albeit they are the primary beneficiaries.

The Oxford dictionary definition of storm wave-base implies that storms affect the seabed only to a depth of up to 40m, but two other sources say submarines can be impacted to a depth of roughly 100m rather than 50, at least for hurricane-strength storms. So since this project plans to operate at depths of 100 to 700m so they should be safe.

it was the practice for private citizens to own cannon.

Citation? Because that sure sounds like a load of Grump to me. Cannon were not something the "average citizen" could afford to buy with a lifetime of earnings.

Let me explain to you how quotation marks work, son. You put them around things which are actually quotations, not things you imagined people said. In the meantime, google is your friend. Learn to internet.

the second amendment was specifically intended to keep military weapons in the hands of civilians.

I never said it wasn't at the time.

Ha! "wasn't at the time" — guess what? That intent never changed, and it's still a good idea.

But these days a military weapon is a AIM 120 or a nuclear weapon, which is illegal as hell for you to own.

Nobody has any business actually using nuclear weapons, so that is a stupid argument we're all tired of hearing. And I am not happy that the baby-killing industry is sitting on so many missiles, rockets, and bombs, either.

And if you are jutnob enough to think you can have a stand up fight with LEO/government and win,

That was the whole point of the second amendment. To keep the arms in the hands of the citizens, so that the government couldn't have a fight with the citizenry, because the military was the citizenry.

and I don't care if your beer buddies come over to help you out, the Army will have more, and bigger weapons. Yeah, being armed isn't going to help you at all in that case.

This really isn't about overthrow of the government in times of peace. It's more about things like resisting being rounded up into concentration camps in time of war, if you happen to be one of the unpopular kids. Why don't you go talk to your local enlisted and ask them how they would like to go street to street and door to door in their own country hunting down people who haven't done anything wrong, who oh by the way are also going to be shooting at them, rigging up IEDs, etc.

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". Sites like ceddit/go1dfish.me do a good job of covering the deletion of things. Subs like /r/subredditcancer show individual case-by-case examples. You can now claim that these show nothing, and there are no problems like you usually do.

Although I don't play CS:GO, I have heard it has a major cheating problem. The worst part about this is that it doesn't only occur on random online servers, this occurs at major tournaments with prize pools of thousands.

As the hacker mentions, Valve makes some major cash from CS:GO, being one of their most popular games. They should be doing a lot more to prevent it.

So how is this different from say cycling?

Yes. Exactly. I just spent 4 hours the other day making a table that is mixed with dynamic controls and an amalgamation of ASP.NET and jQuery pixel fucking perfect when it came to borders for the control because it had to match the look of the old classic website to 'preserve the user experience.' What if I told you the user isn't going to notice that a button is 2 pixels higher up on this page when viewed in Internet Explorer 9? I could have spent the day doing something that adds value to the product, not fiddling with tiny quirks no user is going to notice anyway.

Don't be so sure...

$user complains that she can't open her email.

$me: we did copy over all your settings and your password hasn't changed. Can you show me?

$user: I used to click there, points to blank area on Desktop where Outlook icon used to be.

$me: try moving your pointer up half an inch and clicking there (pointing to Outlook icon).

$user: uhh OK I guess, I don't think i'll be able to get used to this new system

Video at 720p takes about 2 Mbps (source), or 2 Mbps * 60 s/minute * 1 GB/8000 Mbit = 0.015 GB/minute. Data transfer out of AWS costs 9 cents per GB plus tax (source). If a 10-minute (0.15 GB) video goes viral (which used to be called getting Slashdotted) and gets 10,000 views, that could result in a big AWS bill: 0.15 GB/view * 10,000 views * $0.09/GB = $135. Is the average person expected to afford that without running his own ads?
