It's actually more like saying, "buy a Bluetooth keyboard and it's practically identical to your desktop typing experience". If you're doing that much typing I can't imagine NOT having a dedicated keyboard.
I had to go look up what he was talking about by "EToy". It wanted to install a plugin. I didn't install it. He seems pretty bent out of shape about the whole thing. If you want something different, you're welcome to build it or pay to have someone else do it for you. All this whining gives me a headache.
You beat me to it, but as an atheist so long as you're not in my face, setting policy which affects me, or scaring my children, you can believe in a golden doorknob for all I care.
The evangelicals are highly offensive to anyone of a different religion, including atheists.
You seem to be well-balanced and tolerant. Many thanks for that.
You're glazing over a lot, and using cloning to try and get around some real limitations. When the host has to run antivirus (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd744830.aspx) you're losing resources than a non-Hyper-V solution. VMWare and RHEV are much better solutions for everyone except the hobbyist, with VMWare being the insanely expensive option.
Perhaps you missed the punks smirking on camera, or you missed the quote that they should've raped her because they were getting punished for it anyway. Or the regret that one had -- not for penetrating her digitally, or for trying to get her to give him oral sex when she was passed out -- but instead for filming it.
No regrets? Fine then, these kids deserve to be made into examples. For the betterment of our society.
And FWIW, here in Florida you can get put on a sex offenders list for public urination. The last time I checked with an offenders app, there were 75+ people in five miles -- including many within my community which requires a background check and approval to live here -- and I live in an upscale golf community. So no, while a pain, I don't think this is any big deal because they've watered down the definition enough that it seems lots of people have it. And obviously they are living their lives just fine.
Exactly. Our kids' futures are looking bleak if our society allows stuff like the rape to happen with little punishment, but goes balls deep on this guy who only got email addresses from a public API. No skill required.
But that girl will likely have to see these punks again and again and it's gonna be bad for her to deal with. They will be back, emboldened next time. And her friends that have seen this go down this way, they aren't going to bother reporting it next time.
I would trade all my good karma to substitute for them to have bad karma. Because we haven't punished them sufficiently, it lowers the threshold for future issues such as this.
On the other side, if you punish rape as severely as murder then they will just kill the girl afterward.
But this punishment? It's a travesty. One day it could be one of my daughters.
I'm sorry for your loss. And much appreciate your taking the time and effort to provide those helpful links.
The Thanksgiving through end of February period is rough for me also. Birthdays of estranged family, family holidays I now spend alone, etc. I hope you have a good relationship with others who can help you through it.
Perhaps you're right. I've done so much but also lost so much... I've lived a full life. I do not believe in an afterlife. It will be bittersweet to see this one go.
Since I've reached the end of the "first half", I wouldn't mind finding the right person to share the second half. I hope I don't have to be alone that whole time... and by "alone" I mean without a kindred soul. Finding someone to physically be with me is simple but other than the longest, my relationships have only lasted a few years each. Nothing makes you more lonely than being in bed beside someone who doesn't understand you, who has few common interests and thinks the things which interest you are "too complicated". It's a recurring theme in my life.
People not buying means the software companies blame piracy, or tablets, or some other silliness instead of solving the real issue. Many people such as myself have the disposable income and a long history of gaming, but we now hate the companies so much that it's lost its appeal. I will do something else with my money and time instead of dealing with modern gaming frustrations and the companies' shenanigans.
I would welcome the advance notice. I'd like to have a chance to get my affairs in order and do a few things before I'm unable.
I've no time for being depressed, that would come much later. Or perhaps not, if I lived everything to the best of my ability. I could perhaps be happy and at peace.
MS-DOS was fairly simple, and if you're teaching assembly, would seem to be a good starting point. I took assembly classes under MS-DOS (strangely enough after years of programming various systems) and I think it was very helpful to understand some of the concepts.
Granted, the audience for assembly is not what it used to be, and perhaps that's the "wtf" you're experiencing, but if you're teaching assembly, using MS-DOS isn't a horrible idea in and of itself.
I use Parallels every workday with XP, not Windows 7. I've done this since 2007. I have a 2007 MBP. My fans don't go on unless I use Flash or am compiling something.
If your fans are coming on, and your VM is idling, something's wrong. Could be that you've got more running in that VM that you are aware. Or you've substantially overallocated the memory to it. Or you have a small amount of total memory and don't have enough available to run a VM period.
In Japan it's a tiny geographical area, which greatly simplifies design and rollout. Not saying that having the government behind it isn't helpful, but you're talking about the equivalent of thousands of Japans just to cover the lower 48 states. The population density (many areas have too few people to justify broadband let alone FIOS speeds), climate, and terrain issues are all problematic. Regional offices for different providers also complicate matters. It's just not a good comparison.
That's one of the big reasons I got out of gaming. DRM causes so many problems and has so many limitations I don't have the time and patience to try and solve. Oh well I'm sure someone else will play along...

If you're so upset about it, build your own. Make it do exactly what you want. Whatever.
It's like buying a white BMW for your kid and them getting whiny because it's not red. Grow up and quit bitching already.
It's actually more like saying, "buy a Bluetooth keyboard and it's practically identical to your desktop typing experience". If you're doing that much typing I can't imagine NOT having a dedicated keyboard.
So don't buy one, and don't use one. Build your own or whatever. Really, we don't care.

Good point; I would be interested in seeing those results.

Hey! You there! You can't bring logic into this conversation!
You're glazing over a lot, and using cloning to try and get around some real limitations.

Thanks for posting that. I needed the laugh. The ads on that site are hilarious too!
The first link says it wasn't the wrong fuel. The second link says they speculate it's diesel. WTF people, can't you read?
Catchy. Needs a good bass line.
And see we're right back where we started. I disagree that these punishments were sufficient for their crimes.
I am puzzled by your "calm down remark" however. Perhaps you misread. At any rate, we're not getting anywhere in this conversation.
Perhaps you missed the punks smirking on camera, or you missed the quote that they should've raped her because they were getting punished for it anyway.

It should be criminal to charge that much for medicine. I pity the people who sell everything because they can't afford healthcare.

I suppose you've got him by the Wang.
