I didn't excuse anything. Whether people like it or not, he was certainly part of the Greatest Generation. I am often in awe of how cool some of these dudes were back then. This guy was a WWII vet that died, he gets his funeral. Let him have his moment of peace and in a few days or weeks or whatever, feel free to rip him apart.
It's just that a lot of comments come off as if people are pissing on him the moment he died. That's just fucking ridiculous.
The guy was a WWII pilot? Knowing that, I could care less about his politics and anything else he has done. The man bravely served his country, and for this he deserves some respect. While I'm not surprised, it is pretty appalling to read some of these responses. I would prefer to maintain the life of one single WWII pilot over the entire collection of everyday assholes found in this thread.
A couple years ago, I had the idea for de-google. Don't like the results that come up when your name is searched?? For a fee, those results can be modified to hide embarrassing things (or whatever else). I thought it was a good idea, I'm still waiting to see it applied.
I wonder if I'm alone here. I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but at some point all these WWII shooters started coming out, and they all had similar names. I really have no idea what any of them are.
The sheer joy of playing Doom over a 14.4k on Kali (is my $20 lifetime subscription still valid???)
Back when all you had to do was set up control for mouse look and you would rule.
I have scored as an INTP and an ENTP. This seems accurate, as I have always been confused about how to identify myself as an introvert or an extrovert. I supposed I'm an inextrovert.
What about Moore's Law? Do they consider that in their equation? 35 years of computer time is only 17.5 years of computer time a couple years or so from now.
Defense in Depth. Buddy dog is just a layer. He's only really there to WARN you, and if he must, protect you by attacking so that you have enough time to make your escape... or to grab a vase or other living room-type of heavy object so you can make your Hollywood counter-attack.
Think progressively. If a large solar farm harvests thermal energy as well, we'll end up seeing these rights associated with property rights much like water and mineral rights are.
You won't be able to just set up a farm of your own, the land will first have to be designated with those rights and you won't be able to infringe on the thermal rights neighbors already have.
I went to the grocery store to buy some apples. I asked the clerk where the apples are, and he responded, "The gas station doesn't even have access to pumpkins!"
I think that is what distinguishes a Blackberry as a business phone. Only a large business with many wasted resources would want to develop for a Blackberry.
Where exactly do you draw the line of fraud? I think giving this First Amendment consideration is at least worth a moment. These media outlets are often expressing political views with their organizations, aren't they? You know for damn sure that if anyone tried to tell these "news" sources that they had to limit any aspect of what they presented to the public, the ACLU would be all over it claiming First Amendment.
Nobody is looking for censorship, it's just the NOISE! Think of a spam filter for news. The garbage people are bombarded with is astounding, I would think this to be undesirable.
Think of name yet? How about doshslat.com? dashslot.com is already taken, but not the other.
Fine print: By looking at this response you are in agreement that 50% of all revenues from doshslat.com will paid to me, in monthly sums of cash to be delivered at a location yet to be determined.
What, you thought that each of these announcements about laboratory successes would instantly result in a new product on the shelf of your local Wal-Mart?
Seeing as they expected someone else to go gather all the data proposed, I would say yes.
Another point to make is that of who owns the data in transmission. There are a lot of instances of ownership on the Internet. For one to say, "nobody owns the Internet" is just plain silly. Of course people own parts of it.
I'm against traffic shaping as much as the next/.er, but I don't think everything about the Internet is inherently public. Sure, transmission lines, repeaters, etc are placed in public easements acquired through eminent domain, but those lands' acquisition rights are separate from the transmission rights of bits.
So are you saying that the switches owned and operated by an ISP are public property?
Remember, the Internet isn't just a series of tubes, it's also a series of valves. Many of those valves are in fact privately owned. My personal computer is one of those valves, as I have the power to close the valve that provides the Internet with access to the information I make available through that valve.
The heart of the problem is all the grey areas. Packets have to travel through so many different properties, that declaring them public OR private is not effective. These properties are both public AND private.
I go fishing a lot. Sometimes the places I want to fish are restricted not because the land I want to fish is private, but because for me to access those lands I have to cross over private land. Unless granted specific rights to access, I cannot simply walk across private land (or use the privately built road) to get to the public land behind it. Of course, there are many places like this where the private land owner grants access rights across their private land so that I may fish there.
If the landowner decided they want to reduce traffic on their private road, they can declare, "Only 20 cars per day will be granted access." It's their road. They bought it, they paid for it, they built it, they maintain it. If you don't want to cross private lands so that you may access public lands, you have the option of finding another route that only crosses public lands. Of course, there may or may not be a road there, not the problem of the private land owner.

Had to learn TCPIP early on
Wasn't Doom IPX/SPX? I don't recall TCP/IP support.
I would like to find an old copy of SVGA Harrier. Most underrated game of all time. Combat flight sim with an RTS infused. Wow that game was hot.
I wonder if I'm alone here. I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but at some point all these WWII shooters started coming out, and they all had similar names. I really have no idea what any of them are.
so I taped a carefully aligned thread to my monitor.
I think that's pretty stupid. You obviously belong here.
Alternatively, Bob Dylan is still a badass, even though he sings as if it weren't so.

"No honey, it's a potato gun, not a bong."
"What do you need it for?"
"It's for protection. You want me to protect you, right?"
"How does it work?"
"You shove a potato in there and then some bolts and screws, and then fire it at the bad guy."
"What if the bad guy has a REAL gun?"
"Look honey, I made one for you too."

That headline would be unfortunate to read.

I imagine the customer order and shipping records could have provided similar data.
