If you REALLY need some bleeding-edge feature that CentOS / Redhat doesn't have, the trade-off might be worth it
This is what the EPEL repo is for. This way you're able to keep a stable foundation while having access to newer packages that RHEL/CentOS wouldn't otherwise have.
Additionally, Raspberry Pi's and Kodi support CEC as well (works out of the box with Open/LibreElec). Gone are the days of having to setup your own IR/radio receiver and having to get lirc working.
It's true. In addition to the full version of Quake, you could also get full versions of Doom, Doom II, Heretic, and I think even Hexen. I exploited the shit out of that.
(Though I've read somewhere that Id *DID* make the same blunder with the shareware CD of Quake1. There was only a simple registration procedure that was supposed to unlock the full commercial game with extra episodes out of the shareware CD, the same way here the full Yakuza6 can apparently be unlocked out of free 36GB demo).
You read correct. The Quake I shareware CD not only contained the full version of Quake, but also full versions of the entire id FPS library at the time (Doom, Doom II, Heretic, and I think even Hexen), all made available for free by using a little utility called 'qcrack'. Man, discovering that was like discovering plutonium for 14 year old me.
Although I don't 100% completely disagree, I'd say it depends entirely on the location you're in. I went to public school and got a decent education out of it, enough to prepare me for college. My wife, on the other hand, went to school out in bumfuck America and the lack of quality education she received is pretty obvious.
What I really want to see, though it'll never happen: the FCC partially taking Wifi "channel 14" from Globalstar via eminent domain, then making it legal for Americans to use... but ONLY indoors, with limited power (say, 10mW output, 50mW EIRP) and no channel bonding allowed, so we can have ONE GODDAMN 802.11n channel that neighbors in dense urban areas can't fuck up and ruin(*).
What's wrong with using either 802.11ac, or 802.11n on the 5 GHz spectrum? The signal barely penetrates a person's house as it is now, and most normal people aren't setting up AP's outside.
If nVidia really wanted to do something about this, couldn't they just release a line of gaming cards that only supports the popular gaming API's (OpenGL, Direc3D, Vulkan) and not CUDA and OpenCL, or do games make use of CUDA and OpenCL nowadays for other things like physics processing offloading?
Although nearly all American cattle finish their growth in the feedlot, eating mostly grain that is not the whole story [beefrunner.com]. The cows are slaughtered at about 10.5 months, after having spent 7 months eating forage (alfalfa, hay) and the 3.5 months eating high energy feeds based on grain.
After which, they "graduate" from Bovine University!

But he knew what the job was going in so I don't feel bad about it.
I'm not too sure about that.
Nothing, you just apply for an extension and it's typically granted.
Once upon a time a comment like this would have garnered some points, but it's not 2006 anymore. systemd won, get over it.
Can confirm. Bought a mouse of theirs years ago, total piece of shit. Damn thing completely stopped working after a few months.
'nuff said.

I'm sorry, the card says Moops!
Kind of like on Slashdot, where if you utter anything but a Trump slur, and are immediately called a Russian troll.
You spelled Reddit wrong.

More and more I'm seeing topics on Reddit with shit like this in the comments:

Yeah, that's a great thread. At least we don't have that here.
Mfg Response: Fine, we just won't offer warranties at all then.
Because they don't care. This is just a song-and-dance to their constituents to look like give a shit.
What can I say? Illegal voting is the only way Republicans can win in Texas.
Obviously you've never been to rural Texas before.

Reminds me of the glory days of the Quake I demo CD & qcrack. Man, what a goldmine that was.

They hire the "disadvantaged" people.
Having worked with some of the governments "security experts", I can confidently confirm this.

1. Mirrors don't cost $0.50. A side mirror assembly can cost over $100.
Shit, the driver's side mirror assembly for my old 2000 Honda Prelude cost me about $300 if I were to get it from the dealer...
From what I've heard, it's more the CEO's and other rich executives that want to live out there, so they make everyone follow them.
People do the same shit with stocks and all sorts of other shit.
You mean like Bernie Madoff? Yeah, that worked out real well for him.

It's almost as if people support over-reaching regulation when it benefits them, and not when it doesn't. Weird huh?
