Five years ago, I was one of those guys who was like "If I can't buy a physical discs for it, then I'm not buying that console" . Then I realized how fucking annoying it was to have to find the appropriate piece of plastic to stick in the machine every time I wanted to play the game (especially when 99% of the game's files are installed directly to the Xbox hard drive anyway). Now I only buy the downloadable version of games, way more convenient. If the Blu-Ray drive disappeared from the next Xbox console, I wouldn't miss it.
You nailed it, cephalopods (octopus,squid, cuttlefish etc.) forked off from us on the evolutionary tree so far back, twice as far back as the first dinosaurs, that this is the closest we'll likely come to meeting an alien intelligence.
Not sure what they expect. They're using shit-tier encryption. This doesn't happen on a large scale with Dish and DirecTV anymore because they stepped up their game with encryption.
Maybe this is just my experience, but the one time I used Alipay, I had unauthorized purchases on my credit card within a week for other AliExpress items I didn't buy.
Exactly this. As a "boss" I'm part of the team. My guys CC me on shit because they trust me and they value the 25 years of experience I have in our field. When shit goes down, it helps that the boss has been in the loop and has had at least the opportunity to weigh in before things go off the rails instead of being brought in after the fact to do damage control.
At the same time, I recognize that this only works if I'm treating this information flow as simply that. I usually skim most of the e-mail I'm CC'd on for potential issues (which I'll talk to people out-of-band, rather than in direct response to the e-mail) just to keep a general idea of where things are at. That's my job as a manager.
As a counterpoint, I've also seen managers who get CC'd on everything take that as an opportunity to micro-manage.
No it makes sense. "Diversity" translates into "brown dudes" which then translates into H1Bs and the like. It's just another way of framing that they'd like an increase in the number of H1Bs so that labor costs are reduced. There's nothing altruistic going on here.
I remember playing Heretic on a 90's VR set up. Maybe I'm weak, but that shit made me want to barf after 5 minutes and I haven't considered VR since. Do modern VR systems still induce motion sickness?
In fact, the U.S. is one of the *only* industrialized countries that does not offer paid parental leave as a national standard benefit. I'm not sure why so many people here think what Twitter is doing is unusual or unfair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The most common GPU is not Intel HD4000. If you actually look at your own link the HD4000 only represents 4.7% of the total GPU count and is also the only GPU that they were able to detect. 95% of the GPUs are classifed as "other".

Linked article doesn't even mention Windows 95 except in the title. Shit story.

Iceland explored this with Auroracoin. It didn't end well.
Awesome, but how will this affect my ridiculous Oracle licensing?

If you're that worried about your pirated movie collection, you should probably buy two of these.
I remember playing Operation: Overkill and Land of Devastation (LOD) using RIPTerm. Compared to the standard ANSI interface, the RIP graphics were mind-blowing at the time.
They need Kim Dotcom too.
I'm not really motivated to earn more because that would only worsen income inequality,
Just fucking wow. This is the millennial generation in a nutshell. SJW until it hurts.
I was like you. Then I tried it out. It's actually quite good.

I did this too! God I feel old.
Same setup here, except instead of Rokus on the head end, I use RPi 2's running RasPlex.
Brings to mind Blaine the Mono from The Wastelands.
Obviously a site written by assholes.

And Minecraft
They can pry my Platinum Edition of "Virtual Marijuana Smoking" out of my cold dead hands.
Ha! You mean like Twitter?
