Here some sentiments about systemd were put to word and tune:

The only difference is that the high capital investors got a contract that lets them put the dev's balls in a vice and squeeze until they pop if the devs fuck them.

The fans... the people that just wanted the game to get made and didn't even want a profit had no such contract.

My point is that instead of respecting the fans and honoring their commitments... they fucked them because they could.

Which gets back to what I said about kickstarter and indiGoGo etc... their contracts need to be changed such that projects deliver on the promise, declare a failure, or refund the money.

Crowd funding doesn't work if you don't treat your backers like your boss. Simply fucking someone because you can is at best unethical. At worst...

All I can say is, if you're going to show up at his front door or make rape threats, you do so at your own peril.

The sad thing about it is that requiring people to pay for streams of YouTube music would mean a lot of people would not be exposed to a lot of music that they'd otherwise learn about through a video.

For example, here's a terrific video of Sarah Vaughan singling "September in the Rain" with her incredibly hot backing trio from a live at Mr Kelly's recording. I might not have gone so far deep into Vaughan's catalog, nor would I have developed such a love of jazz vocalists if not for this video.

If someone hadn't sent me a link to a video of Bad Plus playing a few years ago, I might never have heard of them. Today, they're maybe my favorite jazz group (and drummer Dave King is the best of the best).

I've spent money buying all of the above artists after being exposed through videos. How much is that worth as opposed to me never having heard them at all?

Also, and in no particular order:

This lost video from the Mills Brothers (dig the crazy dancing):

Or this one of Anita O'Day knocking it out of park at the Newport Jazz Festival, 1958 (From the amazing documentary Jazz on a Summer's Day)

http://youtu.be/rRleR-e8_t8?t=...

Or Iggy and the Stooges from 1970:

http://youtu.be/_SD-uF8uisA (Though, to be fair, I had this album when it came out in 1970, when a 13 year-old Pope Ratzo hitchhiked to Cleveland to see Iggy at the Agora Ballroom where the concert ended with him covered in peanut butter and blood and the entire audience with permanent hearing loss. I'm pretty sure I ate human flesh that night. Anway, all that aside, there's almost certainly some neuroatypical kid out there somewhere whose life will be transformed by stumbling upon this cut on YouTube and who will go on to become the Leader of the Free World.)

And I certainly would never have bought an album of Yo Yo Ma and Chris Thile if I hadn't heard this luminous cut first on YouTube.

http://youtu.be/y0aTqsl-vfU

Which eventually leads to a lament.

GamerGate was never about journalism. Never.

It started when some guy made a blog post accusing his ex-girlfriend of infidelity. From there the myth that she slept with a journalist to get a favourable review was fabricated to justify harassing her and anyone taking her side. It was a complete lie, the alleged article never existed. GamerGaters just repeated it over and over and over again until it because a meme.

Then they noticed that Anita Sarkeesian was making some videos that dared to criticise video games. A new target for them, and once again the lies came thick and fast. They called her a scam artist, claimed she spent Kickstarter money on shoes, sent herself death and rape threats... At the same time as people quite clearly were sending her death and rape threats, and producing Flash games where you could punch her in the face, and cartoons of her, and generally building up the legend. The journalism angle was largely forgotten, but eventually they tried to include her in it for... Well, it's not clear really, maybe saying things they didn't like which was a clear indication of bad journalism and poor research or something.

Finally Brianna Wu speaks up about her on-going experiences, and the tide of rage turns against her too. She isn't a journalist, just an occasional blogger and tweeter, so GamerGate had to attack the news sites writing articles about what happened to her. Even those sites were incorporated into the conspiracy theories. They are all run by feminazis and SJWs according to GamerGate. Again, it's not really clear what that has to do with standards in journalism... Maybe they never heard of an opinion piece?

Quote:

A Scout in the Boy Scouts of America, Hahn conducted his experiments in secret in a backyard shed at his mother's house in Commerce Township, Michigan. While his reactor never reached critical mass, Hahn attracted the attention of local police when he was stopped on another matter and they found material in his vehicle that troubled them and he warned that it was radioactive. His mother's property was cleaned up by the Environmental Protection Agency ten months later as a Superfund cleanup site. Hahn attained Eagle Scout rank shortly after his lab was dismantled

How do you consider this even an argument? Why do I have to provide them with something? There's a huge userbase that doesn't want this change. Whether it's huge in numbers, or huge in brain-power I can't tell you, but a lot of smart people don't like this change. You can read all about it on the internets, hear about it on the IRCs, or and see elaborate discourse on the place we don't talk about, due to Rule #1 of this place we don't talk about, as well as other venues and forums.
I'm sure you can find some examples around.
To come back to your question, and not be rude to you by replying to it with mine, they should do what the userbase needs, because that's what these projects (and certain news sites, by the way) used to be about, and the reason these communities thrived.

I think marriage is not the core issue here, but biotech and medical research is. Such as rhesus monkey head transplant http://youtu.be/NJE7IRK7k7Y or even http://youtu.be/K_T8OuYIfhM keeping a dog head alive without its body. Sick sick stuff. It's like in medical and biotech science anything goes, in the name of scientific knowledge and aid to survive. I guess if you and your friend were in a car accident, and one has the head totally smashed but the body alive, the other has the head intact but the body totally smashed, you might be able to combine the two and keep one organism alive that way, and if you asked that new "person" if he wanted to stay alive like that, he'd probably say yes. Still, sick sick sick.

Explain this then: http://youtu.be/FjQr3lRACPI

Try the second part, it explains this aspect in detail and shows the advertising: http://youtu.be/5i_RPr9DwMA?li...

Sure, the game penalizes you for killing non-targets, but only in terms of losing some points. The game is advertised as allowing you to kill hot women and pose their bodies, and sure enough the game allows you to do that if you want to. You don't have to play to win if you just want to do that. You could blame the individuals who do it for their decision, but the game is advertised as offering that feature.

I'd also point out that people doing that sort of thing are unlikely to post video of their actions to YouTube.

Anita's point is entirely accurate. The game mechanics give you the tools to treat murdered characters that way. The room with the strippers offers you plenty of ways to sneak up on them, and ways to hide their bodies. Note that this point is not made in isolation about Hitman only. Other games have mechanics that objectify female characters.

For example, in Watchdogs there are side missions where you see a woman being harassed in the street. You can intervene, but if you wait too long she is murdered. There is no option to call an EMT, she has no real character and serves no purpose other than to make the game world a bit more "gritty". She is effectively an object. Similarly in many games prostitutes serve the same basic function as things like vending machines and medkits (restoring health). Those game mechanics were designed in.

While true, your examples are not really indicative of any "evolutionary rule", and other than the polar bear example (which has like 2-3 anecdotes behind it) they are not large mammals and not primates. The fact is many species absolutely do NOT kill/eat their own.

Just gonna leave this here for you. Be sure to pay close attention to the last minute or so.

actually, upright citizens brigade. 4 min video here. kith is good too!

Lots of gamers resent feminism capturing their press

When did it become "their" press? If someone chooses to start a website that covers games, it belongs to him. Just because you happen to like his site and read it all the time does not mean that you have an proprietary right to decide what points of view are expressed there.

The gamers, who just want to escape reality, feel like their corporate-owned journalism industry should cater to them if they expect to remain profitable.

Maybe the people who run the corporate-owned journalism would rather not be associated with you. I play a lot of games and enjoy them. I follow the gaming press. And I really don't want to be associated with rapey adolescent scumbags. My guess is that rapey adolescent scumbags are not as lucrative a demographic as women who actually might have jobs and disposable income of their own instead of their parents.

They aren't entitled to the eyeballs that they sell to advertisers.

Maybe they don't care about your eyeballs. Of course you could go ahead and start your own Women Hater's Club Gaming Website and try to attract your own advertisers. Good luck with that.

Of course, that's all I wanted to do before I was struck by lightning, so clearly the effects were very subtle. I no longer wanted to play JRPGs, text based adventures or 2D platformers.

Glad to see so much interest on Slashdot for our sunflower. I'd like to address a few misunderstandings and share with you how YOU can test one of our systems in your home town. 1. The standard commercial system will be available in 2017 for both heat and electricity, the water desalination will come later. 2. This presentation explains the science behind the sunflower and how it can also provide cooling: http://www.zurich.ibm.com/pdf/... By means of a thermally driven sorption chiller, cool air can also be produced. A sorption chiller is a device that converts heat into cooling via a thermal cycle applied to a liquid or solid sorption material. Adsorption chillers, with solid silica gel adsorbers and with water as a working fluid, can replace compression chillers, which place a burden on electrical grids in hot climates and contain working fluids that are harmful to the ozone layer. Although absorption (liquid sorption) systems are already available for combination with the HCPVT system, they provide less cooling output compared to low-temperature driving heat for the adsorption (solid sorption) systems under development at IBM. The systems can also be customized with a transparent back for urban installations. 3. This presentation highlights the regions and the commercial applications: http://www.zurich.ibm.com/pdf/... 4. Here is a YouTube video showing the prototype in Biasca, Switzerland http://youtu.be/JVB9_3IKIAE 5. The news was announced at a TED conference in San Francisco on Tuesday. You can watch the presentation here: http://fora.tv/2014/09/23/Solv...
