On the other hand, this can be stratified even further between those that are ex-slaves and those that are not as well as those that have escaped from the ghetto entirely. You could even break this down in general between poor non-immigrants and poor immigrants.
I would not expect the trailer parks to do any better than the ghettos.
Economics is ultimately about the study of people and they are a difficult thing to study and understand. Computer science has unsuccessfully being trying to mathematically recreate them for a long time.
Economics also suffers a lot from politics and wishful thinking.
I've used my editor for 20 years and it's all muscle memory. I don't need to think or pay attention to it when I use it. This is an extreme example but a good model for how an effective UI works for a real person.
"Normal people" have trouble learning anything new. If you subject them to unnecessary UI churn, you're just going to lose them. It doesn't even matter what kind of UI it is.
In many ways, the "stable" nature of ancient but difficult interfaces are a superior alternative to user interfaces that have devolved into "fashion".
The Lemmings are just burying their heads up their collective asses. I used to maintain the bug database for a Windows game studio. There's PLENTY that can go wrong on a PC running Windows when it comes to gaming.
A PC is a messy random collection of spare parts. Hardware bits quite often don't play nice with each other. Particular games can be coded for a particular GPU vendor. There's all kinds of nonsense that could be going on.
This is why mundanes don't bother with PCs and just get consoles.
While the Lemming morons are saying nay, I'm going to be having fun with this.
This is just the thing to run on the overpowered Linux HTPC that I have attached to my projector in the home theater.
The degree of processing required to feed true herbivores is highly variable. Some of them can survive entirely on their own without any human intervention. Much of the American interior was once covered with them.
On the other hand, Humans are very poor at exploiting plant material. Most of what is grown to feed humans can't even be digested by a person. That's not even getting into the waste associated with plant production at all levels of the supply chain.
On the other hand, Pigs in particular are omnivores that put us to shame. They can eat all kinds of leftovers and industrial byproducts. They tolerate modern high density industrial farming much better than chickens or cows.
You're not nearly as smart as you think you are. You're just a smug clueless idiot with a political agenda.
It's not the simple issue that the liberals make it out to be. It's a more complex problem that they can't or won't solve. They refuse to acknowledge this failure. So they would rather just fixate on the symptoms.
Although they usually just ignore those symptoms.
Generally liberal busybodies don't care about poor people alive or dead most days.
The same goes for being killed in a garden variety "mass shooting". Hysterical liberal weenies in the suburbs are hilarious. They have zero chance of ever seeing a gun, never mind actually getting shot by one.
In a free society, I shouldn't have to worry about some willfully ignorant busybody telling my my business. Clearly Europeans love this idea. That is perhaps why so many of us left.
It's a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to actually live there and I'm glad there's an ocean separating us.
> No Christian wants to turn America into a theocracy. That's the tiredest strawman that ever walked. But they do want to live their lives without being told what they are supposed to believe...
That is total bullshit. Xians love meddling in other people's business. That's been a major part of the Republican party platform since the 80s. Evangelicals specifically view not being able to meddle and dominate public discourse as an attack and some form of oppression.
Just the "war against xmas" nonsense is an obvious manifestation of how they feel the world must pander to them.
You are confusing the Amish with Xians in general.
He's a moron. People were becoming radicalized long before the Internet came along. They even managed to become radicalized under previous historic tyrannical regimes. Deciding to embrace Nazi or pre-Soviet style tactics to suppress dissent and disolusionment isn't going to do squat.
The idiot should crack open a history book, or perhaps acknowledge that such things as books exist.
There's a big difference between people that are supposed to be legal scholars and some random nut bag. You should be able to expect more out of a professor than a random nut bag. The fact that you actually can't, is the really sad thing here.
Upward mobility is no myth. Some of us have experienced it firsthand.
Although it tends to be much more common with the newcomers. They tend to have less emotional baggage dragging them down and haven't been indoctrinated into the usual liberal excuses for not trying to fend for yourself.
THAT right there is why we should never shut out immigrants. They make up for the fat entitled slobs that blame everyone else for their own shortcomings.
??? Converting subtitles? Why shoot yourself in the foot like that and over complicate the problem? Just extract the image caption you want and remux it into the MKV. Not hard even with the command line tools.
The logic of sorting out main features for a film and episodes on a TV DVD is actually pretty trivial. Just look at the table of contents and see what the run lengths are.
You have no idea what you're talking about. You clearly have no clue how large the image files on a BD are and that's just the basic "yeah I've actually done this before" kind of info.
> WTF are you blabbering about!? I got a 49" 4K and I am sitting about 3+ meters (10 feet for muricans) away with no need to move closer. > WTF watches TV from less than 2 meters?
People stuck in small apartments in Europe where there may not be 10 whole feet from one wall to the other. [snicker]
If you really care about what you're watching and you're planning on watching it again, it really makes much more sense to just get the boxed set. Rip or not but you will still have it after it disappears from Netflix.
Plus you won't have to worry about the quality of the stream you're getting from Netflix or any other shenanigans they might pull with the original content.
You don't have to have the entire run of 200 series on your media server. So the HTPC option doesn't need to be too complicated. '-)
A 10% storage increase is not nearly enough to justify x265. It's a bleeding edge codec with little GPU hardware support and ungodly CPU decoding requirements.
Re-compressing BD kind of defeats the whole point of bothering with BD. Plus you magnify the aforementioned decode support issues.
They might also be able to employ different and better options on the transcoder. When I first started transcoding my own stuff I optimized for quality and total processing time. The files were meant for HTPC use and mobile video devices weren't terribly common yet. What I ended up with was something that early iDevices couldn't even handle (although Archos could).
They may simply be adjusting for more modern and more capable devices.

2% of the population is not "a lot".

Nonsense. You're just engaging in mindless fear mongering unsubstantiated by actual facts or mathematics.
I have already been the victim of much more severely limited probabilities so I am no longer impressed by either "terrorists" or "crazies with guns".
Not that I would have been impressed before. I can do the math.
No. Those were carefully edited videos Planned Parenthood employees being defrauded by people trying to discredit them.
Some of those videos weren't even that.
That's the reason that economics is a sham.

"High finance" is at best fraud obscured by math.

The problem with Windows is Windows.
It's a great ecosystem (driven by a monopoly only mindset) that has computing history's single biggest turd sitting right in the middle of it.
This is why most people would rather use ANY thing other than a general purpose desktop PC to do their gaming.
I already have two of those I use with Linux already.

With an average leech-share ratio of about 1, the average member of a BT swarm is no more of an "uploader" than they are a downloader.

What does that have to do with some clueless hack in the news media trying to tie space exploration to class warfare?
