The only small issue is that innocent snowflakes often aren't prepared for the full ramifications of hearing everyone's honest opinions.
No, that's not the only problem you fucking uneducated retard. You forgot entirely about posterity and historical preservation of data. You can't store a news archive on 4chan. Not only are you an idiot, you're also a bad person, and now everyone here knows. How do you like that?
Without order, anarchy merely distills to warring feudal monarchies. There's no way to preserve freedom for all if by allowing all freedoms you neglect to protect the freedom of the meek from being stolen by the bold.
I like it! This is a great idea. The only real problem is that for kids these days to realize the usefulness of a given technology, you have to assign a flashy, buzzwordy brand name to it. Something easy to say and cute but slightly self-deprecating, that hearkens just tangentially to the features it provides, with a slight, almost subliminal flavor of the signs of the times... something like a cross between "Dropbox," "Trump," and "Napster." Any ideas?:-D
It cost a bundle but my hobby, and I'd go back to those days in a heart beat but it's over.
I feel ya, really I do. Remember when the concept of entire international networks of computers being disabled by a government-funded, self-propagating, polymorphic computer virus was nothing more than hyperbolic science-fiction absurdity? Remember when we used to think to ourselves: "Yea, but in real life who would be stupid enough to hook software that insecure to an open public network?"
Oh, for the return of simpler times. We understood the technology so very well, but we understood people almost not at all.
Everything about your chain of logic here is sound except the last step; you fail basic conceptualization of the situation if you don't realize that manufacturing jobs only left for foreign shores because of removal of regulations that restricted off-shoring such work. Frankly this is such a fundamentally inaccurate view of reality that, considering the relative coherency of the rest of your argument, I'm left with only the conclusion that you're either a paid shill or just an remorselessly evil asshat. Mind you, I could still be wrong. There's no reason these two states of being have to be mutually exclusive.
The amusing thing is that it was originally intended to prevent exactly this type of abuse. What happened that (apparently) nobody honest was able to both foresee and prevent was that the manufacturers would find a way to gain implicit control over what the dealerships do and say anyway.
He still works there but AFAIK he is just responsible for features/performance of the UI toolkit stuff. I don't think OS-level security is really in his jurisdiction.
I tried it. It works (for some values of "works") but the question is wrong. I had Rage working in Wine on Linux *with* CUDA support using someone's special wine-cuda wrapper hack, and it worked amazingly well, for all of 2 weeks then never worked again. I won't bore you with the sad technical details but the take away is that the real question that should be asked here is "Can Linux run a GPU-Computing application written for Windows without Nvidia's permission?"
I guess you're right, I had not. That's a bummer. Hopefully at least they'll add cloud synchronization as a feature of their subscription network service, if nothing else.
I'm pretty sure you're allowed to back up your stuff to your own external drives, just like with the Wii-U. Original story submitter either doesn't know this, or is simply complaining that Nintendo doesn't provide on-by-default online cloud services that do it automatically over the internet for you, like say with Valve's Steam client.
(It should be noted though that even with this supposedly "life-saving" service in place, save games get lost or permanently corrupted all the time, due to poor 3rd party datacenter infrastructure.)
I guarantee you that it bricked because of a brownout or other such power fluctuation that caused the console to reboot while it was patching. This also happened to Wii-U users.

Most people also get a week or two of vacation around the winter holidays, but it's rare for it to be a paid vacation.
I only have the same one, over and over again...
News flash: most of them are actually re-posting the penises themselves.

Because charismatic narcissists make the best usurpers.
Tragic strategic weakness of free markets exposed: nobody wants to work on boring shit.

...
Well, you are wrong.
I just wanted to make sure everyone else was following along with this conversation.

Did any of those come with a pair of red&black ergonomic "Epyx" brand joysticks?
Flash and JQuery, man.
Congrats on posting what is probably the first and only "Read the rest of this comment..." message on /. that was actually worth reading.
I would like my Commodores back now, please. Which one of you has them?

... how did taxi companies drop the ball on this one?
I agree with you there. But I can only fix so many things at once, see?
Furthermore, such depictions of violence may actually be a safer - even necessary - outlet for such emotions.
