bag of salt... so if they do that considering the wages your next iPhone will cost anywhere between 1500 and 3000 bucks ? well its a groupie thing anyway isnt it... seeing is believing, millions of jobs huh ?
in three factories ? thats REALLY big big BIG big big... 20 years ago when i was putting plastic boxes in cardboard boxes 8 hours a night at 90% of the wage (since the state sponsoring required they give me education (which meant putting said boxes in boxes for three days by day before it was by night) there was like... definitely less than 100 people there... now the factory's actually gone... theres just a storehouse which probably has about... ten people in it ?
seeing is believing, cook--san
if ethical was ethical there would be one ruleset that came with the laws of nature... good and evil don't exist anywhere but in the human mind as far as i know in theobservable universe until proven otherwise, sadly living in the backyard of the galaxy on a dusty old shelf in an abondoned trailer chances on this little planet are slim... something funny about ethics in war, in battle there is no law and the victor writes history... you can shoot a plane with anti aircraft and kill everyone in it, but its un ethical to shoot them when they're out of it even if they will still kill you when they get close enough.
If there was only one billion people the need for war would be about 1/7th or less than what it is now:p
all hail the army of twelve monkeys ! fuck greenpeace heh heh
im sure vonger is open to debate if you buy them by the dozen or more:p
pricewise i mean... doesnt get more unlocked than that with about a billion options to lock yourself out:p comes with openwrt installed, can be sown into a jacket on a duracell battery scanning for open networks as you walk the city... or simply as an mp3 player and i suppose a router too if you really have to
i think its mostly a beating stick for politics . I read the title before TFA (obviously) and i was like OMG what's nv-a and the rigthwing gonna do next ? i mean they got elected by blaming unemployment, telling the jobless they would give them jobs and take everything from them while pissing in their face cos they cause world hunger and aids and those suckers voted for them . I think a bit like Trump did it.
But its one of my favourite sociological bits i like to use to slap certain people around with a big trout. From the slimste mens ter wereld to the dustball department en hobbits like Nepomuk Onderdonk who saw it on tv i guess... people who dont that perpetuum mobile does not exist in the whole metaverse, hance you can live forever on grandma's money.
See... its somewhat hard to find actual numbers since they dont play in favour of demagogues and rhetoric but :
Belgium :
http://statbel.fgov.be/nl/stat...
(gods i love andromouse... apart from the flashlight it actually makes this phone useful)
lets keep it simple... official site, official numbers :
Bevolking op 01 januari 2017 2.294.639 6.932.352 2.095.097 11.322.088 (male+female) : leaving out all people under 18 and over 65 (supposedly not adding all that much to gdp barring a few exceptions) = 6.932.352 sapients, thats roughly 61% potentially employable citizens, lets not count the illegals stashed in basements doing shit for dirt , 61% roughly who are "potentially" employable
next one : http://statbel.fgov.be/nl/stat...
official site, official numbers :
because of the political structure in belgium this is already a mess since thats four of the five governments there and i see they left out the german bit (thats cos you never hear from them. They form governments after elections within the month and stuff... they dont really fit in here)
so counting only 18-64 yo -> amounts to roughly 7kk peoples (7.25 million) bottom of the page, this is where the foundation of the theory (which is not a theory but a statistic,.. (as not seen on tv, dustball)) gets interesting : 7.25 million potentials
of that we have :
4.5 kk "working" (= paying taxes wether they produce anything or not, they might be paying taxes on a wage thats paid from taxes (cf. the perpetuum mobile reference above)
2.3 kk "in-active" these are NOT counted as unemployed
and
the prize number : ZERO point 4kk, thats right 400.000 un-employed (meaning receiving benefits)
now before i euh get to the part where i have been saying unemployment around 6% is somewhat of a norm and its also the least of a governments spending concern compared to what they throw out the window trying to play big boys by sending boots to the russian border and air-support and boats and stuff to syria and whatnot... cost a lot MORE than those 400.000 lazy slobs who "simply dont wanna work cos they are worth nothing and no good" (and the cause of world hunger and aids...ofcourse)
Is that it... well actually...
If we were to count bureaucracy as a chunk of "employed" that actually gets paid by taxes... which means "produces nothing"/"adds nothing" to the gdp, or whatever variable you wanna stack that in... you get alarming numbers and the alarming number is NOT the 400.000
bureacucracy in belgium would be anyone working for the five administrations of the five governments (i can tell you thats a LOT for 11.000.000 sapients to pay for) and also the military and police who (face it) don't produce or add actual value "as such" (not saying its not necessary although the most number of cops per square meter in europe seem a bit over the top consideing theres virtually zero hard crime in belgium (but
im not sure if it would have been great but it sure as hell would have been less complicated
if you're white, six feet tall and blonde lol, (lets not forget who invented the eugenics program in the first place btw, give credit where its due but yea)
if it werent for americans the nazi party would have had a lack of funds
legal battle against underground hackers hm ? daddy warbucks versus the molotov... i somehow cant shake the feeling this will end bad... probably a pr nightmare but hey, if you just put a billion on top of that its easily covered. Its what you get for sucking NSA dick mate... no im not pro-russian, not anti-american, not global or -ist but outhere in the perimeter
there are no starts and geopolitics counts for very little to nothing... it really doesnt
ah yea spardon my double post on myself i just remembered something i read YEARS ago, this is not about drones okay but (lol)
https://www.wired.com/2009/04/...
good luck with the jam, dont forget the peanut butter
Owh, i can FEEL the love again, zee russians and chinese ? did the army take over slashdot since Trump got the drones now ? i kinda feel a shift... zee russians did not create al qaeda and zee chinese (as far as i know arent actually invading or bombing anywhere or anyone outside their borders so one could say mind your own business there ? unless you're edisonian mindset) but im too tired to be accused of anti american(-ism) i gte nauseous at the sound of -isms but face it guys.. your united loobies of the free world ? johnson ? bush ? bush ? trump ? you DO have a real grand talent for p.r. there, if you didnt have that army you would clearly be wiped off the continent by now cos you're so agreeable in world politics and north america would belong to the horses (well you wiped out the natives, right ? you fleeing eurotrash/chucklez... i LURV to ruffle me some patriot meth heads i cant help it, be they black or white ( i hear muslim is the new black is that right ? dont worry im not but baby jesus not my friend either.... rated off-topic and trump will gag you cos in soviet america wwe censor legallyhahah)
so... yea indeed, as far as i know i always hear about these superl33t russian and chinese hackers and you gonna put up a botnet AGAINST them ? Ah wait, microsoft, the guys with the operating system that got vetoed for government use for being swiss NSA-cheese by the german stasi... who cant fix its own memory leaks only by adding more until the pc crashes under the weight of the os is going to answer to the fancy bears ?)
pardon my sarcasm but you're kinda feeding it.... tons
you gonna deploy a botnet of killer drones with a usb-port ? wifi maybe ? lol
sorry, but LOL
o and
http://boingboing.net/2017/04/...https://arstechnica.com/tech-p...
i already read similar comments and indeed, why the fuck would you need to jam it if dennis the menace can use a slingshot ?
DUDE ??? your excess of money kills your creativity (wereas in my case lack of it drowns it in vitriol)
im NOT anti american, im anti idiot
hm , i was in dubio since i never touched it... i always thought it was a scripting language, not an actual programming language (which would make it too slow for certain types of applications unless you're the neo-k-lock guy solving it the microsoft way going o thats cool, for the next update all you need to do is ass 4gb of ram and its fine, it will only use three of that, you have plenty of room if you dont boot up edge or mediaplayer)
but its "somewhere in the middle?"
i tend to believe these people here most of the time so its like... after compilation 'somewhat' faster but not quite ? A language without brackets...? sounds like a hurdle to me but probably not that hard to get used to.I just wonder is there any difference in the programming since its all towards clasic von neumann / turing architecture ? statements conditions iterations jumps constants and variables... input/output
i read a lot about it on forums when i go looking for shell script solution like "use python" but personally i never ran into anything standard linux shell scripting couldnt handle (its not like im pro ofcourse, just hobbyist dabbler) which brings me back to : since the shell script comes with "the shell" (lol) isnt python actually slower ? maybe not noticeable on modern machines but as a matter of principle and program-beauty ?
Fact that theres still not one lingo to rule them all is illogical (since frankly if you look at it there can only be one system that is most efficient, the rest is a matter of taste, do you take your coffeer with sugar or cream ?) but no more surprising than every phone having its own charger, thats sales department and my-phone-is-bigger-than-yours boy thinking he's smart
if i ever find one reason to actually use it... maybe i'll try it.. i have a vocore too, it runs shell scripts lol... i suppose a raspberry pi does too so since you're already limited in memory i really dont see why using python would be a better (i didnt say easier) solution than trying to "hack" it with what you got. You can go a serious distance using nothing but standard commands really but i dont know enough about it, maybe python comes with directx libraries and you can wrtie the next battlifield in it and its not just scripting-for-automation
so i dont wanna elaborate (yes, this is me not elaborating) but i guess i never heard about "halfway-compiled" before so thanks slashdot:D... always good to have a synapse used before it goes into a state of decomposing
&&boo-hoo-hoo, poor hollywoodsters, all be living under a bridge now, no 13th ferrari this year... if netflix can do that someone is selling them the rights to, last time i checked they were legit so... if its not hollywood selling the rights then... ?!? is this an american thing ? the united lobbies of the free world cant resist selling the rights early so it loses them money while paying copyright trolls to chase people who wouldnt pay then threaten to put download mom in copyright guantanamo and watersurf her with microsoft edge on a machine with 2gb for hours every day?
... ?
those poor hollywoodsters.. i dont know if they understand theres very little sympathy to be had playing poor little rich kid up there ?
i thought netflix was for rich people too ? pay monthly and get 1000 shows of which theres five you wanna see ? (yea im slightly negative lately)
in a country that has oil fields?
in soviet hellgium if you have a business mowing lawns, you start earning for yourself in august, thats how much taxes... not counting the quartelies i suppose, you dont have to believe my love for the place, ASK someone who works shyte like that here
so 40% in a rich country doesnt seem that bad from where i stand
seems a bit after the fact compared to this
supersonic vs photon cannon:x... i still cant think of anything that could even get close if they set up a wall of those, no clue what the energy requirement would be but seeing as theres ALWAYS money for the military it shouldnt be that hard ? maybe fly over some coke from bolivia or colombia to finance it and Trump's your uncle, right:p (oops i did it again, im sorry guys but the dude is really pssing off more than he has hacked so far)
/nod
counterattack... if what you say from all i can see is mostly dating / adult sites and not general spam that tries to sell you everything from loans for free to that spray to get your hair back it might point at someone who's actually trying to discredit you or get you in trouble. Look around and think, take a step back . Dont take my words for advice, just food for thought. Did you get in a fight with one of your kids perhaps (less far fetched than you might think) or anyone consider adult by the norm who might be so petty as to resort to this. And just tell your wife okay ? Best strategy, lol. Tell her someone is doing this, complain about it "OMG , AGAIN would you just LOOK at this ? This is been going on for weeks now"
that way (if thats one of your concerns she wont have to find out cos she will already know) and think. If its only dating and pr0n spam, i think its likely someone is deliberately doing it OR (somthing parents have trouble with cos "my kid would never") your kid's maybe trying to euh...
get to the goodies... take a step back. Think it over, and mass mail back to every place sending you explaining and asking but use a separate mail address a lot of these things are written so they will send MORE the moment you react or the moment they get a sign of life from an address so use a separate throwaway one. You can get one-time mail addresses too but that wont do for this.
Grab a beer, take a step back, put on some sun-tzu audio cd in the back and think it over xD
good luck ( yea well, crisis management : in a crisis situation you negotiate first, any objectionable material might be better put out first, take control of the situation and all that, ask the white house lol
always nice to hear trumpian commentaries on the chinese... in the meantime they have jack ma, they have THE smart city, they quantum teleport shit to the moon and back, they , euh... well , i suppose someone needs to pass a law to regulate them and tell them how its done according to the first five amendments only used in hollywood movies. Who are you fooling but yourself here. The fucking states are in debt to those euh whatchu call them... 800 million peasants?
they lent you the money... you owe them, i suppose you can just default on it.. they on the rise. I wouldnt make so light of that simply cos uncle cold war ironjaw has lasers now
they get shit done, i dont think comparison to a 5000 year old culturue in a country where 1 billion people need checking instead of a few hundred mille rednecks and ghetto skanks who wont even take responsibility for the fact that THEY are responsible for the fucking islamic terrorstorm since afghanistan through fucking iraq applies. Now ill be waiting for the next guy to explain to me how george washington invented democracy... probably the arian nation too. If it wasnt for bush brussels and paris wouldnt have been blown up. So please, show some modesty, even if trump has drones
i think they would do good to make this the last season and finish in beauty before it stops being in the top ten most downloaded (lol) , b/c thats when they actually will see a loss and probably blame it more cos its downloaded less in the top 20-50 section, still not seeing how these "copyright partners" actuallyu cost more than they deliver ? i wouldnt spend a fucking dime on it, id advertise with it "THE #1 most downloaded show" now at half price ?
will it EVER get through that people who download would in most cases either not pay for it anyway if they had to or else simply cant afford to (the reasoning where if you can afford a phone you can afford subscriptions does not apply to us gutter snipes btw
if you want to be legalist about it : those companies are not law enforcement. The only way to see ips in a swarm is to be in it hence they break the law they try to enforce, thats a quick case but the united lobbies of the free world just dont fucking get it . Cost Expense = what does the lawyer team cost vs. how many of the downloads WOULD be sales if downloading was impossible ?
the artists get nothing, the company distributing gets nothing but the lawyer bill, the "copyright" TROLL gets the money... i think thats how it goes.
its a waste of time, its a waste of resources, the top ten on torrentfreak is ALWAYS the top ten most popular = top ten making money its free fucking advertising, GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THE SIXTIES and into the 2020s...
jeezes fucking christ... it must be a sapient thing, theres a bar here that hasnt turned profit in... in i think over 20 years, every new owner lasts between six months (i think the minimum term or maybe a year) and two years... i told the last one myself as she was cleaning out people who came there to drink... the spenders who like to get drunk, a bit rough round the edges but revenue in a gravelpit like rightwing naziville here. She all like O but i already have, we gonna turn this around to a good establishment, so in the end left with a few oldies who drink a coffee per hour... contra-productive measures.
she's gone... this place isnt very business friendly... meaning before i go off-topic, just like with that "we will make sure they pay US for the sales you didnt make (but no one says you would have in the first place) as a matter of principle you can pay us to tell them they can't do that cos its wrong even if the first rule of business would be to not spend money on pride unless it gets you more money back (where i come from such rules apply) yet even after 20 years that bar ALWAYS gets sold to the next guy or gal who rents it at exuberant prices, pays monthly, ends up earning less than they pay and have to file in the end ?
why is that ? why do these people keep fallng for the same moneypits ?
Ask yourself this : they swatted kim dotcom in new zealand, not like "asked for extradition" , SWATTED like his name was osama "the fly" bin dotcom... so...?
does american law apply outside the states ? where did IS come from ? where did al qaeda come from btw ? what happened to uploadson from the UK ? downloadmom in copyright guantanamo ?
does it ?
i think the question here is "how many drones does trump have"... how many drones does Angela have... and its lasers now, drones are passé i just read TFA
might i recommend the book "jeb and the bush crime family" on how america is about responsible for anything from sponsoring the nazi party to actually starting eugenics to... i dunno, using medellin to kill people then nicaragua then creating al qaeda to fight zee russians then IS to fight in the name of occupied kuwait then
... i think jurisdiction is a nice word but actually thats all it is
how many drones say your law operates outside your borders ? (people always think im anti american when i speak like this, but the facts speak louder, it WOULD be nice to see a united lobby of the free world leader who takes some responsibility for it, might build some trust)
but who needs trust when trump got drones right (i mean lasers...)
duh
EU can't enforce it so they're simply wasting money on commissions again ---summarized version
and then some... how long before the tek gets "leaked" ?
i cant find anything on the range in TFA but 0_o... this is hella-pressive... i can see this developing into a shield really if its possible to fire rapidly and they use amon tobin or jean michel jarre (still alive?) as a consultant in how to weave spheres with lasers... what the hell could get through at a dollar a shot ?
also who can stop this ? if it gets leaked, do you just need your girlfriends pocket lipstick mirror to reflect the photon cannon or does it require v2.0 of the tinfoil hat here, how vulnerable would it be to emp-attacks ?
i suppose thats classified, sir
ah... ofcourse, i cant help it...
thats some pretty amazing stuff, i also suppose geneva conventions forbid it from using against personnel ? you could fry them in a boat but not out of it, right?
mh.... nasty... the range dude, the range, if this fits on satellites ? and the range is....
then may your sandalwearing hippie in the sky help us all... this is gonna be the number one sought after to-be-stolen-fast tek i think, its pretty awesome thought but as stated above would be a lot cooler with wheeeeowzZZap sounds and red and green beams ofcourse
i stand impressed but also a bit what have you done now omg if this turns global.. and it will, i mean its not like you could keep the bomb for yourself could you
o theres a dude who hasnt paid his phonebill, heat him up just a little bit Satcom-five
thousand times now i talk to myself forgetting something after clicking yes im sure that was all i have to say... off-topic but... as scams go, there was a girl from charleroi, the french part of the country (not far by american standards but here 30km is far you see) who actually staid in that city in a pension as if the place were china with cheap dorms since she couldnt get one where she lived and was hoping to get "at least something to put on her resumé". This is belgium, allright, capital of europe... fresh-from-school early 20s girl... the worst part is they actually let her do that. Lodging doesnt come at €10 a night here... but never mind b/c this has nothing to do with the original article my apologies
Mh, i think its the only way forward for any kind of office work, if you cant handle it in a virtual confrence, then why would you face to face. You lose less hours in transit, you can spend more hours on the job if you are willing and they are willing to pay. You dont arrive already stressed out after 2 or 3 hours on five different trains of which four were late AND the company doesnt need any kind of infrastructure while the job you do remains exactly the same and if anything goes as i remember it : if you dont do it right, you get fired pretty fast.
I think its all about lower management nurds in need of control who need to see their little army where they can whip them i can find zero logical reasons to not let people work from home in the current age. Communications would be a very bad counter-argument. Logistics, cost of infrastructure.
My last retard job i spent 11 hours a day away from home to get paid four . Working on dopamine, after three weeks from home, three months later... still "not good enough" so i put it on the table : "im good enough to do the exact same shit for hours on end talking to the exact same people on the exact same subjects following the exact same script (yea they're like still stuck in the pre-research era when scripted (another piece of control-freakery and not trusting your employees, if you think they cant manage why do you hire them ???)
so i says:"i can do the same from home but twice the amount, what gives ?"
never heard from them again, they're constantly "hiring" but actually not... its no wonder Dentsu sold them off lol
as TFA says : its usually a scam , but i think thats just because of lower management control freaks and distrust and im gonna repeat myself : "if you dont think your employee can cut it or isnt pro enough to do so without pampers and you holding his or her hand, why on earth did you hire them in the first place ?"
look around... living in Hellgium theres about 60.000 unemployed (registered, not counting elderly or disabled or on leave or sick or in jail or...) so its not like theres no choice ?
tsk... WILL WORK FROM HOME FOR LESS ? i dont care even if you're chinese or russian ? who got me a gig hahah:p
Overpriced memory vampire mastodont Os'es aside... and reading what is answered below i wonder is this about pc's for dummies like (for instance crApples) people who dont know what side of a screwdriver is used to cut the meat and which part to write with including craptops which indeed is quite the expense since its all soldered shut, you need to be a micro-electronics vocore haxxor to upgrade those, né ?
Or does this include statistics on sales of components to people who are either budget-aware... able to hold a screwdriver without poking eyes out or simply have so much money they think 10 fps if visible past 100 by adding a fourth 1080 ? thats not clear...
i dont have any thats not built from scratch except my little vocore but that would be really hard since soldering is not my thing. Windows should indeed be scrutinized for being sold "as-is" and not modular like linux... every drive i run linux from i have a separate script to run after install that removes and adds components/software according to what i intend to use it for, two of my three systems run celeron cpus without glitching (they dont run windows ofcourse) each part is handpicked, my webservers is also celeron with 8gb of ddr4 ram a 120gb ssd and a quite decent multimedia board which probably helps when i do batch image resizing (and stuff) on the machine itself... runs like a breeze and if i upgrade to the next thats somewhere between $50 and $100 but considering the number of visits i dont see why i would.
im drifing offtopic (i do that a lot im sorry)
if i couldnt get separate parts b/c "the pc market" crashed what would i do ?
watch tv?
read a book ? lmao
i want to extend my vote for windows-lite-for-gamers once more, stripped of everything that eats memory (like the desktop and about like well umm... everyrthing, i dont need printers and 1000 whatever background processes to run steam and origin dx 11 games)
priced at $50 per license (transferrable ofcourse, after all if you buy a car its not like its no longer yours if you switch lanes)
and so... (i went on and on and on, the crowd was snoring in the end no one remembered what it was about and microsoft came up with a devious masterplan to couple windows AND office in one pack for the small price of your soul and yo momma (and a second mortgage) yea... probably has a lot to do with it
mhm
uhuh... if its supposed to emulate intelligence (has anyone into a.i. actually defined that irrevocable ? like intelligenge = balls / brains or something?) then it should be actually be simulated from the very start of evolution (unless you're looking for a problem solving algorithm thats specialized and has little to do with intelligence and or awareness... )its never called artificial awareness is it ? As in "thou shalt die so thou shalt be motivated to do before thou do-est die(est?)"... and other biblical stuff which makes somewhat sense since people who have the urge to have a phone thats bigger than yours would do so since there's limited time ?
so without the fear of death it wouldnt be intelligent at all since it would lack a certain drive to propel forward all mortal sapients who are dubbed normal seem to have and yes if its made in the image of its creator and its supposed to learn from its mistakes and its supposed to be intelligent then how could it not have these hurdles to overcome... does this mean mankind is not intelligent since it clearly suffers from bias (lol) ?
o my... circular and spiral filosofy... as far as i know most a.i. s are higly specialized problem solving algorithms with the ability to adapt (its own code) so...
so what , i forgot what i was gonna say omg... do a.i 's have add ? ocd ? borderline plank or einstein tantrum disorder ? psychopath ceo-disorder ? narcist art disorder? is any of that intelligent?
and there i go yapping about... in short i think these committees, concerned though they might be do more harm than good, gender equality means an equal number of black / white / male / female / transgender / yellow / christian / muslim / hindu / church of the spaghetti monster / scientologits / undecided on the sex people on the team so where is the part where you ask them what they're capable of lol... allright im going off-topic, over and out
m hm, my first reaction was lol, how do i rate the question itself "funny", then i got to "where does this dude live?" and then yes indeed... i actually never been mugged in places considered to be dangerous by women in fur coats with gold rings but thats probably b/c i look like something between a polish homeless person and columbo on a bad day. I think having a 20 is actually a great tactic when you're "out in the city"... i mean out here the only thing that would rob me after or before dark is a rampant cow or a herd of mutant sheep or chickens with martian bugs in their brains. The only people who ever harassed me in this town all wore like this blue uniform and i think they're called... "legalized mafia to keep the fear in old people who need to vote rightwing" or something (maybe im subversive or maybe its that homeless look that protects me in the city that makes me suspicious after 6pm outside in a town where my family is rooted for about 5 generation but where i never really lived and which i certainly dont like.
i think its one of the things the legalized mafia would tell you actually when it comes to breaking&entering by (mostly junkies) non organized gangs or street-robbery, hand over just a little cos most of the time they're looking for a fix
as for the rest, why not carry a 1000 around in cash in the middle of the night alone in a poor hood in brussels, well.... ? people are hungry ? maybe you are drunk and it falls out of your pocket and like the other guy said you can get your plastic back anytime, you can block it, but cash ? unless you wrote down the serial numbers and even if , fat chance, right?
i dont think "it shouldnt be" is the answer to the mugging since poor people gotta eat and once you're into it, you stick to it so your best bet if you like to bling around is to avoid places where sandwiches are scarce, i never seen ANYONE getting looted in the main streets of brussels, EVER, but the outskirts are often , whatchu call that in americanish ? ghetto-like ? whos fault is that ? thats irrelevant to the current question so before i get dubbed off-topic i think i said enough.
Having a 20 and nothing in your pockets is probably a good idea yea, i second that
if they gave me one for free... strangely my $50 huawei android phone still seems to have way too many things installed, i mostly use the flashlight and recorder and thats about it, then again i have no friends (not even fakebook ones)
0_o...
cute, i try to RTFA and it cant connect... so im not sure, this is business only right ? not for like people who simply need windows cos its the only thing that runs directx11 ?
besides, why do i get the feelnig the moneyhungry EU will have a field day on this matchmaking deal, lol
so when do we get windows for gamers with nothing installed but what you need to run steam, origin and what comes with it ? for like $50, that seems like a decent price
Slashdot Mirror
bag of salt ... so if they do that considering the wages your next iPhone will cost anywhere between 1500 and 3000 bucks ? well its a groupie thing anyway isnt it ... seeing is believing, millions of jobs huh ?
in three factories ? thats REALLY big big BIG big big ... 20 years ago when i was putting plastic boxes in cardboard boxes 8 hours a night at 90% of the wage (since the state sponsoring required they give me education (which meant putting said boxes in boxes for three days by day before it was by night) there was like ... definitely less than 100 people there ... now the factory's actually gone ... theres just a storehouse which probably has about ... ten people in it ?
seeing is believing, cook--san
if ethical was ethical there would be one ruleset that came with the laws of nature ... good and evil don't exist anywhere but in the human mind as far as i know in theobservable universe until proven otherwise, sadly living in the backyard of the galaxy on a dusty old shelf in an abondoned trailer chances on this little planet are slim ... something funny about ethics in war, in battle there is no law and the victor writes history ... you can shoot a plane with anti aircraft and kill everyone in it, but its un ethical to shoot them when they're out of it even if they will still kill you when they get close enough.
If there was only one billion people the need for war would be about 1/7th or less than what it is now :p
all hail the army of twelve monkeys ! fuck greenpeace heh heh
im sure vonger is open to debate if you buy them by the dozen or more :p
pricewise i mean ... doesnt get more unlocked than that with about a billion options to lock yourself out :p comes with openwrt installed, can be sown into a jacket on a duracell battery scanning for open networks as you walk the city ... or simply as an mp3 player and i suppose a router too if you really have to
i think its mostly a beating stick for politics . I read the title before TFA (obviously) and i was like OMG what's nv-a and the rigthwing gonna do next ? i mean they got elected by blaming unemployment, telling the jobless they would give them jobs and take everything from them while pissing in their face cos they cause world hunger and aids and those suckers voted for them . I think a bit like Trump did it. But its one of my favourite sociological bits i like to use to slap certain people around with a big trout. From the slimste mens ter wereld to the dustball department en hobbits like Nepomuk Onderdonk who saw it on tv i guess ... people who dont that perpetuum mobile does not exist in the whole metaverse, hance you can live forever on grandma's money.
See ... its somewhat hard to find actual numbers since they dont play in favour of demagogues and rhetoric but :
Belgium :
http://statbel.fgov.be/nl/stat...
(gods i love andromouse ... apart from the flashlight it actually makes this phone useful)
lets keep it simple ... official site, official numbers :
Bevolking op 01 januari 2017 2.294.639 6.932.352 2.095.097 11.322.088 (male+female) : leaving out all people under 18 and over 65 (supposedly not adding all that much to gdp barring a few exceptions) = 6.932.352 sapients, thats roughly 61% potentially employable citizens, lets not count the illegals stashed in basements doing shit for dirt , 61% roughly who are "potentially" employable
next one : http://statbel.fgov.be/nl/stat...
official site, official numbers :
because of the political structure in belgium this is already a mess since thats four of the five governments there and i see they left out the german bit (thats cos you never hear from them. They form governments after elections within the month and stuff ... they dont really fit in here)
so counting only 18-64 yo -> amounts to roughly 7kk peoples (7.25 million) bottom of the page, this is where the foundation of the theory (which is not a theory but a statistic, .. (as not seen on tv, dustball)) gets interesting : 7.25 million potentials
of that we have :
4.5 kk "working" (= paying taxes wether they produce anything or not, they might be paying taxes on a wage thats paid from taxes (cf. the perpetuum mobile reference above)
2.3 kk "in-active" these are NOT counted as unemployed
and
the prize number : ZERO point 4kk, thats right 400.000 un-employed (meaning receiving benefits)
now before i euh get to the part where i have been saying unemployment around 6% is somewhat of a norm and its also the least of a governments spending concern compared to what they throw out the window trying to play big boys by sending boots to the russian border and air-support and boats and stuff to syria and whatnot ... cost a lot MORE than those 400.000 lazy slobs who "simply dont wanna work cos they are worth nothing and no good" (and the cause of world hunger and aids ...ofcourse)
Is that it ... well actually ...
If we were to count bureaucracy as a chunk of "employed" that actually gets paid by taxes ... which means "produces nothing"/"adds nothing" to the gdp, or whatever variable you wanna stack that in ... you get alarming numbers and the alarming number is NOT the 400.000
bureacucracy in belgium would be anyone working for the five administrations of the five governments (i can tell you thats a LOT for 11.000.000 sapients to pay for) and also the military and police who (face it) don't produce or add actual value "as such" (not saying its not necessary although the most number of cops per square meter in europe seem a bit over the top consideing theres virtually zero hard crime in belgium (but
im not sure if it would have been great but it sure as hell would have been less complicated if you're white, six feet tall and blonde lol, (lets not forget who invented the eugenics program in the first place btw, give credit where its due but yea) if it werent for americans the nazi party would have had a lack of funds legal battle against underground hackers hm ? daddy warbucks versus the molotov ... i somehow cant shake the feeling this will end bad ... probably a pr nightmare but hey, if you just put a billion on top of that its easily covered. Its what you get for sucking NSA dick mate ... no im not pro-russian, not anti-american, not global or -ist but outhere in the perimeter
there are no starts and geopolitics counts for very little to nothing ... it really doesnt
ah yea spardon my double post on myself i just remembered something i read YEARS ago, this is not about drones okay but (lol) https://www.wired.com/2009/04/... good luck with the jam, dont forget the peanut butter
Owh, i can FEEL the love again, zee russians and chinese ? did the army take over slashdot since Trump got the drones now ? i kinda feel a shift ... zee russians did not create al qaeda and zee chinese (as far as i know arent actually invading or bombing anywhere or anyone outside their borders so one could say mind your own business there ? unless you're edisonian mindset) but im too tired to be accused of anti american(-ism) i gte nauseous at the sound of -isms but face it guys .. your united loobies of the free world ? johnson ? bush ? bush ? trump ? you DO have a real grand talent for p.r. there, if you didnt have that army you would clearly be wiped off the continent by now cos you're so agreeable in world politics and north america would belong to the horses (well you wiped out the natives, right ? you fleeing eurotrash /chucklez ... i LURV to ruffle me some patriot meth heads i cant help it, be they black or white ( i hear muslim is the new black is that right ? dont worry im not but baby jesus not my friend either .... rated off-topic and trump will gag you cos in soviet america wwe censor legallyhahah)
so ... yea indeed, as far as i know i always hear about these superl33t russian and chinese hackers and you gonna put up a botnet AGAINST them ? Ah wait, microsoft, the guys with the operating system that got vetoed for government use for being swiss NSA-cheese by the german stasi ... who cant fix its own memory leaks only by adding more until the pc crashes under the weight of the os is going to answer to the fancy bears ?)
pardon my sarcasm but you're kinda feeding it .... tons
you gonna deploy a botnet of killer drones with a usb-port ? wifi maybe ? lol
sorry, but LOL o and http://boingboing.net/2017/04/... https://arstechnica.com/tech-p... i already read similar comments and indeed, why the fuck would you need to jam it if dennis the menace can use a slingshot ? DUDE ??? your excess of money kills your creativity (wereas in my case lack of it drowns it in vitriol) im NOT anti american, im anti idiot
hm , i was in dubio since i never touched it ... i always thought it was a scripting language, not an actual programming language (which would make it too slow for certain types of applications unless you're the neo-k-lock guy solving it the microsoft way going o thats cool, for the next update all you need to do is ass 4gb of ram and its fine, it will only use three of that, you have plenty of room if you dont boot up edge or mediaplayer)
but its "somewhere in the middle?"
i tend to believe these people here most of the time so its like ... after compilation 'somewhat' faster but not quite ? A language without brackets ...? sounds like a hurdle to me but probably not that hard to get used to.I just wonder is there any difference in the programming since its all towards clasic von neumann / turing architecture ? statements conditions iterations jumps constants and variables ... input/output
i read a lot about it on forums when i go looking for shell script solution like "use python" but personally i never ran into anything standard linux shell scripting couldnt handle (its not like im pro ofcourse, just hobbyist dabbler) which brings me back to : since the shell script comes with "the shell" (lol) isnt python actually slower ? maybe not noticeable on modern machines but as a matter of principle and program-beauty ?
Fact that theres still not one lingo to rule them all is illogical (since frankly if you look at it there can only be one system that is most efficient, the rest is a matter of taste, do you take your coffeer with sugar or cream ?) but no more surprising than every phone having its own charger, thats sales department and my-phone-is-bigger-than-yours boy thinking he's smart
if i ever find one reason to actually use it ... maybe i'll try it .. i have a vocore too, it runs shell scripts lol ... i suppose a raspberry pi does too so since you're already limited in memory i really dont see why using python would be a better (i didnt say easier) solution than trying to "hack" it with what you got. You can go a serious distance using nothing but standard commands really but i dont know enough about it, maybe python comes with directx libraries and you can wrtie the next battlifield in it and its not just scripting-for-automation
so i dont wanna elaborate (yes, this is me not elaborating) but i guess i never heard about "halfway-compiled" before so thanks slashdot :D ... always good to have a synapse used before it goes into a state of decomposing
agh ...

&&boo-hoo-hoo, poor hollywoodsters, all be living under a bridge now, no 13th ferrari this year ... if netflix can do that someone is selling them the rights to, last time i checked they were legit so ... if its not hollywood selling the rights then ... ?!? is this an american thing ? the united lobbies of the free world cant resist selling the rights early so it loses them money while paying copyright trolls to chase people who wouldnt pay then threaten to put download mom in copyright guantanamo and watersurf her with microsoft edge on a machine with 2gb for hours every day?
... ?
those poor hollywoodsters .. i dont know if they understand theres very little sympathy to be had playing poor little rich kid up there ?
i thought netflix was for rich people too ? pay monthly and get 1000 shows of which theres five you wanna see ? (yea im slightly negative lately)
in a country that has oil fields? in soviet hellgium if you have a business mowing lawns, you start earning for yourself in august, thats how much taxes ... not counting the quartelies i suppose, you dont have to believe my love for the place, ASK someone who works shyte like that here
so 40% in a rich country doesnt seem that bad from where i stand
seems a bit after the fact compared to this supersonic vs photon cannon :x ... i still cant think of anything that could even get close if they set up a wall of those, no clue what the energy requirement would be but seeing as theres ALWAYS money for the military it shouldnt be that hard ? maybe fly over some coke from bolivia or colombia to finance it and Trump's your uncle, right :p (oops i did it again, im sorry guys but the dude is really pssing off more than he has hacked so far)
/nod counterattack ... if what you say from all i can see is mostly dating / adult sites and not general spam that tries to sell you everything from loans for free to that spray to get your hair back it might point at someone who's actually trying to discredit you or get you in trouble. Look around and think, take a step back . Dont take my words for advice, just food for thought. Did you get in a fight with one of your kids perhaps (less far fetched than you might think) or anyone consider adult by the norm who might be so petty as to resort to this. And just tell your wife okay ? Best strategy, lol. Tell her someone is doing this, complain about it "OMG , AGAIN would you just LOOK at this ? This is been going on for weeks now"
that way (if thats one of your concerns she wont have to find out cos she will already know) and think. If its only dating and pr0n spam, i think its likely someone is deliberately doing it OR (somthing parents have trouble with cos "my kid would never") your kid's maybe trying to euh ...
get to the goodies ... take a step back. Think it over, and mass mail back to every place sending you explaining and asking but use a separate mail address a lot of these things are written so they will send MORE the moment you react or the moment they get a sign of life from an address so use a separate throwaway one. You can get one-time mail addresses too but that wont do for this.
Grab a beer, take a step back, put on some sun-tzu audio cd in the back and think it over xD
good luck ( yea well, crisis management : in a crisis situation you negotiate first, any objectionable material might be better put out first, take control of the situation and all that, ask the white house lol
that sounds gay
always nice to hear trumpian commentaries on the chinese ... in the meantime they have jack ma, they have THE smart city, they quantum teleport shit to the moon and back, they , euh ... well , i suppose someone needs to pass a law to regulate them and tell them how its done according to the first five amendments only used in hollywood movies. Who are you fooling but yourself here. The fucking states are in debt to those euh whatchu call them ... 800 million peasants?
... you owe them, i suppose you can just default on it .. they on the rise. I wouldnt make so light of that simply cos uncle cold war ironjaw has lasers now
... probably the arian nation too. If it wasnt for bush brussels and paris wouldnt have been blown up. So please, show some modesty, even if trump has drones
they lent you the money
they get shit done, i dont think comparison to a 5000 year old culturue in a country where 1 billion people need checking instead of a few hundred mille rednecks and ghetto skanks who wont even take responsibility for the fact that THEY are responsible for the fucking islamic terrorstorm since afghanistan through fucking iraq applies. Now ill be waiting for the next guy to explain to me how george washington invented democracy
i think they would do good to make this the last season and finish in beauty before it stops being in the top ten most downloaded (lol) , b/c thats when they actually will see a loss and probably blame it more cos its downloaded less in the top 20-50 section, still not seeing how these "copyright partners" actuallyu cost more than they deliver ? i wouldnt spend a fucking dime on it, id advertise with it "THE #1 most downloaded show" now at half price ? ... i think thats how it goes.
...
... it must be a sapient thing, theres a bar here that hasnt turned profit in ... in i think over 20 years, every new owner lasts between six months (i think the minimum term or maybe a year) and two years ... i told the last one myself as she was cleaning out people who came there to drink... the spenders who like to get drunk, a bit rough round the edges but revenue in a gravelpit like rightwing naziville here. She all like O but i already have, we gonna turn this around to a good establishment, so in the end left with a few oldies who drink a coffee per hour ... contra-productive measures.
... this place isnt very business friendly ... meaning before i go off-topic, just like with that "we will make sure they pay US for the sales you didnt make (but no one says you would have in the first place) as a matter of principle you can pay us to tell them they can't do that cos its wrong even if the first rule of business would be to not spend money on pride unless it gets you more money back (where i come from such rules apply) yet even after 20 years that bar ALWAYS gets sold to the next guy or gal who rents it at exuberant prices, pays monthly, ends up earning less than they pay and have to file in the end ?
will it EVER get through that people who download would in most cases either not pay for it anyway if they had to or else simply cant afford to (the reasoning where if you can afford a phone you can afford subscriptions does not apply to us gutter snipes btw
if you want to be legalist about it : those companies are not law enforcement. The only way to see ips in a swarm is to be in it hence they break the law they try to enforce, thats a quick case but the united lobbies of the free world just dont fucking get it . Cost Expense = what does the lawyer team cost vs. how many of the downloads WOULD be sales if downloading was impossible ?
the artists get nothing, the company distributing gets nothing but the lawyer bill, the "copyright" TROLL gets the money
its a waste of time, its a waste of resources, the top ten on torrentfreak is ALWAYS the top ten most popular = top ten making money its free fucking advertising, GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THE SIXTIES and into the 2020s
jeezes fucking christ
she's gone
why is that ? why do these people keep fallng for the same moneypits ?
Ask yourself this : they swatted kim dotcom in new zealand, not like "asked for extradition" , SWATTED like his name was osama "the fly" bin dotcom ... so ...?
... how many drones does Angela have ... and its lasers now, drones are passé i just read TFA
... i dunno, using medellin to kill people then nicaragua then creating al qaeda to fight zee russians then IS to fight in the name of occupied kuwait then
... i think jurisdiction is a nice word but actually thats all it is
...)
duh
does american law apply outside the states ? where did IS come from ? where did al qaeda come from btw ? what happened to uploadson from the UK ? downloadmom in copyright guantanamo ?
does it ?
i think the question here is "how many drones does trump have"
might i recommend the book "jeb and the bush crime family" on how america is about responsible for anything from sponsoring the nazi party to actually starting eugenics to
how many drones say your law operates outside your borders ? (people always think im anti american when i speak like this, but the facts speak louder, it WOULD be nice to see a united lobby of the free world leader who takes some responsibility for it, might build some trust) but who needs trust when trump got drones right (i mean lasers
EU can't enforce it so they're simply wasting money on commissions again ---summarized version
and then some ... how long before the tek gets "leaked" ?
... this is hella-pressive ... i can see this developing into a shield really if its possible to fire rapidly and they use amon tobin or jean michel jarre (still alive?) as a consultant in how to weave spheres with lasers ... what the hell could get through at a dollar a shot ?
... ofcourse, i cant help it ...
.... nasty ... the range dude, the range, if this fits on satellites ? and the range is ....
... this is gonna be the number one sought after to-be-stolen-fast tek i think, its pretty awesome thought but as stated above would be a lot cooler with wheeeeowzZZap sounds and red and green beams ofcourse
.. and it will, i mean its not like you could keep the bomb for yourself could you
i cant find anything on the range in TFA but 0_o
also who can stop this ? if it gets leaked, do you just need your girlfriends pocket lipstick mirror to reflect the photon cannon or does it require v2.0 of the tinfoil hat here, how vulnerable would it be to emp-attacks ?
i suppose thats classified, sir
ah
thats some pretty amazing stuff, i also suppose geneva conventions forbid it from using against personnel ? you could fry them in a boat but not out of it, right?
mh
then may your sandalwearing hippie in the sky help us all
i stand impressed but also a bit what have you done now omg if this turns global
o theres a dude who hasnt paid his phonebill, heat him up just a little bit Satcom-five
thousand times now i talk to myself forgetting something after clicking yes im sure that was all i have to say ... off-topic but ... as scams go, there was a girl from charleroi, the french part of the country (not far by american standards but here 30km is far you see) who actually staid in that city in a pension as if the place were china with cheap dorms since she couldnt get one where she lived and was hoping to get "at least something to put on her resumé". This is belgium, allright, capital of europe ... fresh-from-school early 20s girl ... the worst part is they actually let her do that. Lodging doesnt come at €10 a night here ... but never mind b/c this has nothing to do with the original article my apologies
Mh, i think its the only way forward for any kind of office work, if you cant handle it in a virtual confrence, then why would you face to face. You lose less hours in transit, you can spend more hours on the job if you are willing and they are willing to pay. You dont arrive already stressed out after 2 or 3 hours on five different trains of which four were late AND the company doesnt need any kind of infrastructure while the job you do remains exactly the same and if anything goes as i remember it : if you dont do it right, you get fired pretty fast. I think its all about lower management nurds in need of control who need to see their little army where they can whip them i can find zero logical reasons to not let people work from home in the current age. Communications would be a very bad counter-argument. Logistics, cost of infrastructure. My last retard job i spent 11 hours a day away from home to get paid four . Working on dopamine, after three weeks from home, three months later ... still "not good enough" so i put it on the table : "im good enough to do the exact same shit for hours on end talking to the exact same people on the exact same subjects following the exact same script (yea they're like still stuck in the pre-research era when scripted (another piece of control-freakery and not trusting your employees, if you think they cant manage why do you hire them ???)
:"i can do the same from home but twice the amount, what gives ?"
... its no wonder Dentsu sold them off lol
... living in Hellgium theres about 60.000 unemployed (registered, not counting elderly or disabled or on leave or sick or in jail or ...) so its not like theres no choice ?
... WILL WORK FROM HOME FOR LESS ? i dont care even if you're chinese or russian ? who got me a gig hahah :p
so i says
never heard from them again, they're constantly "hiring" but actually not
as TFA says : its usually a scam , but i think thats just because of lower management control freaks and distrust and im gonna repeat myself : "if you dont think your employee can cut it or isnt pro enough to do so without pampers and you holding his or her hand, why on earth did you hire them in the first place ?"
look around
tsk
Overpriced memory vampire mastodont Os'es aside ... and reading what is answered below i wonder is this about pc's for dummies like (for instance crApples) people who dont know what side of a screwdriver is used to cut the meat and which part to write with including craptops which indeed is quite the expense since its all soldered shut, you need to be a micro-electronics vocore haxxor to upgrade those, né ?
Or does this include statistics on sales of components to people who are either budget-aware ... able to hold a screwdriver without poking eyes out or simply have so much money they think 10 fps if visible past 100 by adding a fourth 1080 ? thats not clear ...
... every drive i run linux from i have a separate script to run after install that removes and adds components/software according to what i intend to use it for, two of my three systems run celeron cpus without glitching (they dont run windows ofcourse) each part is handpicked, my webservers is also celeron with 8gb of ddr4 ram a 120gb ssd and a quite decent multimedia board which probably helps when i do batch image resizing (and stuff) on the machine itself ... runs like a breeze and if i upgrade to the next thats somewhere between $50 and $100 but considering the number of visits i dont see why i would.
im drifing offtopic (i do that a lot im sorry)
if i couldnt get separate parts b/c "the pc market" crashed what would i do ?
... everyrthing, i dont need printers and 1000 whatever background processes to run steam and origin dx 11 games)
priced at $50 per license (transferrable ofcourse, after all if you buy a car its not like its no longer yours if you switch lanes)
and so ... (i went on and on and on, the crowd was snoring in the end no one remembered what it was about and microsoft came up with a devious masterplan to couple windows AND office in one pack for the small price of your soul and yo momma (and a second mortgage) yea ... probably has a lot to do with it
mhm
i dont have any thats not built from scratch except my little vocore but that would be really hard since soldering is not my thing. Windows should indeed be scrutinized for being sold "as-is" and not modular like linux
watch tv?
read a book ? lmao
i want to extend my vote for windows-lite-for-gamers once more, stripped of everything that eats memory (like the desktop and about like well umm
uhuh ... if its supposed to emulate intelligence (has anyone into a.i. actually defined that irrevocable ? like intelligenge = balls / brains or something?) then it should be actually be simulated from the very start of evolution (unless you're looking for a problem solving algorithm thats specialized and has little to do with intelligence and or awareness ... )its never called artificial awareness is it ? As in "thou shalt die so thou shalt be motivated to do before thou do-est die(est?)" ... and other biblical stuff which makes somewhat sense since people who have the urge to have a phone thats bigger than yours would do so since there's limited time ?
... does this mean mankind is not intelligent since it clearly suffers from bias (lol) ?
... circular and spiral filosofy ... as far as i know most a.i. s are higly specialized problem solving algorithms with the ability to adapt (its own code) so ...
... do a.i 's have add ? ocd ? borderline plank or einstein tantrum disorder ? psychopath ceo-disorder ? narcist art disorder? is any of that intelligent?
... in short i think these committees, concerned though they might be do more harm than good, gender equality means an equal number of black / white / male / female / transgender / yellow / christian / muslim / hindu / church of the spaghetti monster / scientologits / undecided on the sex people on the team so where is the part where you ask them what they're capable of lol ... allright im going off-topic, over and out
so without the fear of death it wouldnt be intelligent at all since it would lack a certain drive to propel forward all mortal sapients who are dubbed normal seem to have and yes if its made in the image of its creator and its supposed to learn from its mistakes and its supposed to be intelligent then how could it not have these hurdles to overcome
o my
so what , i forgot what i was gonna say omg
and there i go yapping about
m hm, my first reaction was lol, how do i rate the question itself "funny", then i got to "where does this dude live?" and then yes indeed ... i actually never been mugged in places considered to be dangerous by women in fur coats with gold rings but thats probably b/c i look like something between a polish homeless person and columbo on a bad day. I think having a 20 is actually a great tactic when you're "out in the city" ... i mean out here the only thing that would rob me after or before dark is a rampant cow or a herd of mutant sheep or chickens with martian bugs in their brains. The only people who ever harassed me in this town all wore like this blue uniform and i think they're called ... "legalized mafia to keep the fear in old people who need to vote rightwing" or something (maybe im subversive or maybe its that homeless look that protects me in the city that makes me suspicious after 6pm outside in a town where my family is rooted for about 5 generation but where i never really lived and which i certainly dont like.
.... ? people are hungry ? maybe you are drunk and it falls out of your pocket and like the other guy said you can get your plastic back anytime, you can block it, but cash ? unless you wrote down the serial numbers and even if , fat chance, right?
i think its one of the things the legalized mafia would tell you actually when it comes to breaking&entering by (mostly junkies) non organized gangs or street-robbery, hand over just a little cos most of the time they're looking for a fix
as for the rest, why not carry a 1000 around in cash in the middle of the night alone in a poor hood in brussels, well
i dont think "it shouldnt be" is the answer to the mugging since poor people gotta eat and once you're into it, you stick to it so your best bet if you like to bling around is to avoid places where sandwiches are scarce, i never seen ANYONE getting looted in the main streets of brussels, EVER, but the outskirts are often , whatchu call that in americanish ? ghetto-like ? whos fault is that ? thats irrelevant to the current question so before i get dubbed off-topic i think i said enough. Having a 20 and nothing in your pockets is probably a good idea yea, i second that
if they gave me one for free ...
strangely my $50 huawei android phone still seems to have way too many things installed, i mostly use the flashlight and recorder and thats about it, then again i have no friends (not even fakebook ones)
0_o ...
cute, i try to RTFA and it cant connect ... so im not sure, this is business only right ? not for like people who simply need windows cos its the only thing that runs directx11 ?
besides, why do i get the feelnig the moneyhungry EU will have a field day on this matchmaking deal, lol
so when do we get windows for gamers with nothing installed but what you need to run steam, origin and what comes with it ? for like $50, that seems like a decent price
