Go lie on an elevated bed of nails. Then let someone fire a gun at at the nail heads beneath you.
When the material is so thin, instead of it spreading the force out to support your meatflesh, your meatflesh ends up supporting the material (by being sliced and diced). You need to carefully weave these materials in layers or apply some other layer to actually distribute the force before it gets to you. Both options make them heavier, thicker, and less flexible. Making the material thinner and stronger is WORSE for armor.
Fuck Israel. They're trying to censor the fact they they have turned into the Nazis. Go to Youtube now and look up what their soldiers are doing. Look at how Israel treats the "foreigners" (non-Jews) in Palestine.
What I don't like is the arbitrary, vague, and changing "definition" of a planet being used by people (who are not authorities on the matter) as a weapon. The most obvious example is it being rigidly enforced to change Pluto's status while simultaneously being conveniently ignored for other planets. Of course, Neil Tyson is a proponent of arbitrarily kicking Pluto out of the planet club and treating anyone who disagrees as an undoctrinated^w uneducated idiot, so the internet morons who consider themselves enlightened (because they have a "Stand Back, I'm Going to Try Science" t-shirt) fall in line and march against anyone who dares to question the arbitrary rules, their unequal enforcement, or their unsanctioned enforcers.
this is not about ad blocking, but about starting an important debate
No, it's about ad blocking. No one ever wants to "start a debate" or "have a conversation" or "open a dialog". Everyone saying those things simply wants to do their thing and ram it down your throat while getting tards to parrot their talking points in the guise of "debate", "conversation", or "dialog".
I'm 100% against ads and 100% for blocking them. I'm just sick of asshats using the phony debate/dialog/conversation bullshit to pretend they haven't already taken a hardline stance on a subject.
There hasn't been a Black Friday deal worth getting out of bed for since the late 1990s.
As soon as the media latched onto Black Friday as an "event" it started going downhill.
- Earlier hours
- Worse deals
- Fewer store exclusive deals
- Larger crowds (worse odds of getting a deal)
- Larger crowds (better odds of getting stabbed or trampled)
- Pervasiveness of deal sites facilitating hoarders and resellers
I've personally never found "Cyber Monday" to have anything worth getting, even in the 90s.
The proper way to shop is to know what you want and set up a deal alert on a forum like slickdeals (or even ask in the "find me a deal" forum). If by chance you want something, such as PlayStation 4, you'll likely find a deal on it. If you can wait til Black Friday, buy it a couple of weeks BEFORE Black Friday and then use the price protection feature on your credit card (Discover IT and some others cover Black Friday prices, while others don't). You get it earlier, you're guaranteed to get it, and you don't have to fight anyone for it.
If you're looking at Black Friday ads to see what good deals there are, my advice is to look at some pornography instead. You'll save money and you'll be happier. For the past 15 years the bulk of Black Friday "deals" have gone through each of these trends:
- Cheap and shitty digital photo frames that are cheap because the market collapsed
- Cheap and shitty standalone GPS units that are cheap because the market collapsed
- Cheap and shitty net books that are cheap because the market collapsed
- Cheap and shitty eReaders that are cheap because the market collapsed
- Cheap and shitty Windows RT tablets that are cheap because the market collapsed (or never existed)
The next thing will be cheap and shitty Android tablets that are cheap because the market collapsed. Yes, Black Friday is filled with cheap and shitty Android tablets already, but the market hasn't collapsed yet. These guys make up the next biggest portion of the deal space - cheap devices that are cheap because they're last year's model (or older) and they need to GTFO. From phones to tablets to GoPros to routers to whatever. A big chunk of the "deals" are wasted on shit that would have been sent back to the warehouse in a couple of months as unsellable. Do you really want that 18 month old video card or that "new" 802.11n wireless router? Sure it's a bit cheaper than the current model's MSRP, but if you can wait a week you can probably get a deal on the current model to split the difference in price. How about that printer? You just know that ink in the tiny starter cartridge is dried up and buying new ink will cost more than buying the current printer model.
The last major category of Black Friday "deals" are the turds. And boy do they polish these before they splash them all over your screen / newspaper inserts. These are the fucking stripped down, Black Friday versions of popular brands. I'm talking about Samsung TVs which aren't made by Samsung and for which you'll never find a review because the SKU is unique to Best Buy. These are the fucking off-brand pieces of shit you normally wouldn't touch with a 10 foot clown pole. I'm talking about 50" 720p Vizio TVs at Costco. These are the "shoot yourself in the foot" old models like the XBOX 360s that are guaranteed to RRoD when the latest model is only $50 more. These are the unsupported corpses that are barely functional in the modern world like old Rokus and DLNA boxes that can't handle 1080p or talk to your "smart" devices.
The next of the notable categories are smaller than the rest, but still deserve to be mentioned.
Trash. Near-literal fucking trash like fucking 4th world USB chargers, cases for phones nobody owns, U-Value DVD-R 16X (50-pk.), or an ancient plastic tub of red vines. These things are trash and pe
This "install your own root CA" trick is being used widely in corporate environments to allow proxies to snoop your HTTPS connections ; caused no end of trouble with clients using independent Firefox installs (Chrome uses the system certificate store, Firefox has it's own) navigating to our pages (with properly signed certificates) and being told they were a security risk.
Firefox told them it's an untrusted cert and a security risk because it's an untrusted cert and a security risk. What you are doing is bad, evil, and wrong. And it's technically illegal under the DMCA as well, because you're breaking encryption. No, an employee agreement that says you can monitor their computer use doesn't get you past the DMCA.
Fuck you and all the places that do this. If I were asked to implement such a thing at my job I'd raise all hell and strike.
2 video cards will take 32 of them, a high end SSD will take up 4, if you've got a wireless card, a sound card, or some other shit you're eating a couple more. And then you've got all the legacy SATA ports and whatnot that may eat up some of those lanes opportunistically.
40 is by no means future-proof. I'd like to see 48 or 64 for a pro/enthusiast rig,
Anyone who calls a phone or tablet a "general computing device" in an effort to lump them in with actual PCs is a fucking tool seeking to sell data and analysis to a bunch of MBAs.
Slashdot is notoriously against changes in UI/UX. Look at all the hate against almost *every* modern UI in all comments.
No, we're against shitty change - change for the sake of change, change that offers less functionality, change that seeks to be "mobile first" when I have an actual monitor in front of me, change that dumbs everything down, change that is inconsistent with what the program actually does, change that keeps changing every few days, change that removes information and slaps on the trend in button styles, fonts, or padding., change not based on actual user feedback, change based on user feedback about how strongly they associate the phrases "emergent design" or "socially conscious" with the brand instead of how the program actually works, etc.
If you're asking us to change shit and you mention "UX" then we know it's a shit change because we immediately know the type of person you are and the type of changes you want and how frequently you want them.
You're asking a liberal to use their brain. Good luck with that!
I know he's a liberal because he took a position, then googled it to find links that looked like they supported it yet didn't read anything at the links, then yelled at everyone for not having read those same things and unquestioningly believed them - to the point that they were "COMMON FUCKING SENSE" - like he did.
If I had to put my finger on it, I'd guess he's 16-22 years old and white. I'm also sure he has very little driving experience, because anyone with driving experience knows that simple velocity is almost never the primary cause of a collision. Hell, it's rarely even a major contributor.
The HDMI automotive spec includes power. For regular HDMI, I wonder if you could jam some extra electrons through it via power over ethernet. Find the dumbest device that pipes ethernet through HDMI and the dumbest device that does PoE and slap em together.
It wasn't corrected. A correction involves printing a retraction saying "WE FUCKED UP LOL". This is being swept under the rug as if it never happened.
I watched a bit of the news after the attacks (because the few shows I do watch were preempted by it). Every single channel kept parroting the same FUD about encryption and PlayStations.
0/0 does not equal 1, and anyone ever stating that it does needs to be shot in the fucking face.
Division by zero is undefined. It is not infinite - positive or negative. It is incalculable by the definition of the operation of division.
It is not a "formalism" to state anything other than the fact that it is undefined. It is not a formalism to state roots as positive values, either. Maybe I'm old, but I ALWAYS consider both positive and negative values unless I explicitly limit my domain. To do otherwise would be flat out fucking wrong.
Yes, which is why we use industrial solvents and paint thinners and shit to strip it out into a disgusting paste called tofu. Soy beans are one of the very few plant proteins that are a complete protein, so for vegetarians it's eat tofu, eat corn and beans together every day, or die.

Does it deal with the "person with an RPG or bomb vest" issue?
Hell, does it deal with the bird issue?
If it's so thin, it would slice through your hands if you ever tried to tie it off let alone hold onto it while you descend.

USB for keyboard and mouse is trash compared to PS/2.
With PS/2 you get full rollover support and you don't have to wait for the CPU to poll for shit.
I fucking knew it would be a BMW. LOOOOOOOL!
