I do IT at an electronics manufacturing plant - the HVAC uses a JACE BacNet controller that is on the network, so somehow I'm the one that has to deal with any/all HVAC messes (It does plug in the wall after all!)
$2M for 20 buildings (rounding up) is $100k - which compared to multiple quotes for retrofit I've gotten over the past two years is a fucking STEAL!
Hell it cost us that much to replace just three dual-compressor Ground Roof Top Units (don't ask, I didn't name them) on our existing system.
Also we are not government, just industrial. None of the HVAC companies I use are government either. This isn't "pork" by any stretch, it's just how HVAC is.
You can argue it shouldn't cost that much, just like I can argue Oracle software or Sun hardware probably shouldn't cost that much, but unless you live off eBay (or use a c64 and student labor to write code) it's just simply a fact.
So THATs why my playlist menu recently exploded and went random-order!
Yea I'm not sure how well this will work out for Youtube in the end.
Now personally, when I watch a let's player I'm generally watching not for the game but am watching that particular person do their thing. So I'll probably be sticking with the user subscription method instead. I'd be less interested in a "Minecraft" channel and have to sort through all the squeeky voiced 8 year olds, and am more interested in for example "AngryJoe" review a game (any game) - or anything else to be honest - because it is Angry Joe.
Ironically there is only one streamer I watch to check out new games while also enjoying cometary, and though he hosts some content on youtube I typically watch for new videos on his own website, as I wouldn't want to miss anything just because it was posted to blip or twitch or hosted locally.
But I'd be lying if I said I never went to the main youtube page to search for a specific new game someone mentioned to see if it may be something I'd like to buy. In those cases I usually scroll the first page of results looking for a name I recognize, only clicking random videos if no one I know has one.
This feature may help while doing those kinds of searches... maybe, if new games are added fast enough. Certainly on the rare case when I "miss" a good game at release and just don't hear about it for some time after, but that doesn't feel like too frequent of a case for me.
But knowing how gaming communities are, I have no doubt this new reference method will get used enough to be worth them adding it.
Now having it rival twitch? I have serious doubts there. Most people I know that use twitch do so not because youtube lacks similar features, but because of youtube policies and other stupidity in their eyes, none of which necessarily will change here (and which couldn't be changed this very second without this new feature as well) There is no way in hell those users will be changing back.
My son's birthday this year happened to be a palindrome. I also told him that he would only get one Palindrome Birthday ever.
Unless you cheat and use two digits for the year;}
Using my preferred number formatting (Y-M-D) my last palindrome birthday was in 2012, and using US number formatting (M-D-Y) I'll have another one in 2025.
Sadly if I was to stick to four digit years my only actual palindrome birthday would fall in 2125, so barring any major life extension technologies I'll never see it:{
Well of course robots need passports, silly! Just like my car needs its own passport to cross a border.
In addition my lawnmower has its own drivers license, my garage door opener has a concealed carry permit, and my 50" big screen TV takes a taxicab to a shrink once a week because of a broken heart from when my ps4 left it for a 60":P
For me it isn't a matter of people must text before calling / leaving a voice mail, it is simply that how long and convenient to me it is to retrieve your message and process it in my idle cycles, the faster you will get a useful response.
I can glance at a text message and begin processing it in a small number of seconds, so when ever I next have 5 seconds free or need to glance at my phone lock screen for other info (aka what time is it), I'll also check your text.
But if you leave me a voice mail, that is a good 60-120 seconds of time investment, on top of the non-zero chance I may need to reproduce some data left which will take much longer to repeat/memorize or write down on something to re-type where I need it compared to copy/paste of a text message.
If I'm busy, I may not have or want to spend that much time right that moment, so I won't even listen to the message until later when I do. That may be later that day, after work, or even the next morning.
Now if that delay is acceptable, or the message isn't all that important in the first place, that may be fine. But when people bitch and moan I didn't get their voice mail message within 5 seconds (when the message itself is longer than that) - it is completely their own fault for not making things easier on me to reply quicker. If they keep bitching and moaning, eventually I stop bothering to listen at all when I see it is a message from them. Why bother after all? No matter how fast or slow I reply I'll get bitched at the same, so might as well make things as easy on me as possible.
It isn't about me "punishing" someone for using voice mail, it's about you needing to do what is required to get the things you want to help yourself.
A hostname/IP is not a URL. It is part of a URL, but there is more information in a URL and the entirety of the URL is not viewable as the original poster claimed.
Your browser and the server do certificate exchange before your browser requests the page on the server you're interested in.
In other words, while using https you can see via hostname/IP that I went to www.google.com however you can NOT see if I requested the main page at "/" or sent a query such as "/?q=goat+porn" or any other information after the protocol/hostname/port portion of the URL.
As to making DNSSEC redundant - perhaps if your internet experence consists of nothing but website browsing, although personally even then I wouldn't turn down the extra protection just in case of future attacks that lack of DNSSEC might enable.
But to look up an IP from a host for say email, or ssh, or something - nothing within the https protocol will provide additional protection against spoofing so we still have a need for DNSSEC.
With Bethesda games that just means you're in for a boring feature poor game with fuck tons of bugs.
They've been making the same game at least since Oblivion, possibly before... but I didn't play any of their earlier titles... They make big giant worlds... and they fill them with boring shite.
"Bethesda Game Studios" is responsible for Fallout 3 & 4, and the three Elder Scrolls games: Morrowind, Oblibion, and Skyrim.
"Bethesda Softworks" is responsible for all Elder Scrolls games prior to Morrowind, and I'm pretty sure all were from back in the DOS days.
Black Isle as you already said made Fallout 1 & 2.
Obsidian Entertainment made Fallout New Vegas, and ZeniMax made the Elder Scrolls MMO thingie. Also ZeniMax owns Bethesda Game Studios, and has quite the history of meddling in the Bethesda developers affairs both creatively and procedurally.
While personally I don't view their games quite as critical, I do have to agree the games are much much better modded (not just game expansion mods, but bug fix mods and game play changing mods) and sometimes they are required. Not fixing your own bugs and leaving it to the modding community to do for free is a very dick move, and they seem to be more and more comfortable with that reality which results in each future game being more and more broken at launch and not fixed by Bethesda themselves.
You should also at least be aware that ZeniMax (a legal company, as in run by a lawyer) that owns Bethesda Game Studios effectively has them shackled and collared like their bitch. They get surprisingly little support from their parent company (at least they always have before fallout 4, and see nothing to indicate that would have changed now) ZeniMax is also the one responsible for pushing Fallout 3 and Skyrim out the door with their laundry list of bugs unfixed, with zero funding to do anything on fixing them afterwards (or anything that isn't paid DLC)
Most all of the internal company problems can be attributed directly to ZeniMax. (And why oh why did a legal company try to make an MMO when they have a perfectly good game studio under them that could only have done a better job at it?!? oh yea, money, nevermind)
I am enough of a squeeling fangirl of both series of games that I have zero doubt I will none the less buy fallout 4 at launch, so feel free to blame me as part of the problem for encouraging such behavior with my wallet:P
But I feel it's fair to say that Bethesda will make a fuckton of money anyway even with a buggy release, and don't seem to at all care to make an even larger fuckton of money by releasing a superior game. So me denying myself their efforts won't aid anyone in getting better games including me, so given the two options of no game and a buggy game I can fix with mods, I'll choose the latter.
Because the Constitution says nothing cities, counties, or planned communities?
So I'm still confused here, does fed overrule state or state overrule fed? Or is it just "both, as needed" per usual?
If California can legalize pot yet the law still supports the feds arresting anyone possessing it, seems to me that means the FCC can force states to allow ISPs to operate irregardless of the states wishes.
If the state does have power to tell the FCC to go away, why can't California do the same exact thing under the same exact laws to the DEA?
I can only conclude that the issue is not that you don't want to use that capability, it's that you don't want anyone else to be able to use that capability. The contradiction in wanting "open culture" to deny some users options that they desire never crosses your mind, does it?
Wanting "open culture" to not be destroyed by those who promote "closed culture" instead is not a contradiction.
In this case, yes it is.
If you are attempting to argue that the very existence of "closed culture" is what is destroying (incorrect tense included) "open culture" - well you are about 50 years late to that lost battle. Under that definition open culture was destroyed long long ago with zero hope of ever existing again.
If you are not arguing that point, then you are either contradicting yourself at best, or lying/trolling at worse.
Being an additional (optional at that) feature you don't have to use, I don't understand why you would invest a non-zero amount of work in changing from one DRM-capable browser to another DRM-capable browser only to not use the DRM features, when you could instead invest exactly zero work and not use the feature at all.
If you are not capable of resisting the urge to type "netflix" into your browser, your problem isn't the web browser you are using, but is much deeper in your mental abilities.
If you actually are capable of not typing "netflix" into your browser, then this new feature will go unused and thus it won't effect you what so ever by being there.
I have to seriously question your motives and intent here since it seems you are only trying to push your personal preferences onto the rest of us despite our personal preferences. If such behavior is OK by you, then by the same logic you shouldn't care that we are forcing our personal preferences onto you, no?
How do you pee if this is attached to you? Do you keep a bunch of one-gallon jugs next to your desk?
Step 1 - You get up and go pee. Step 2 - You come back to the computer and press the power button. Step 3 - You continue with whatever it was you were doing before nature called.
Not all that difficult for a select tiny few, though I can see how most people would be confused and bewildered at the requirements.
If that is acceptable, what about my claim that science is my religion, and the native Hawaiins are desecrating what I declare as holy land? Will they be forced to stop doing so too?
Probably not, which is why we shouldn't allow them to stop us for this reason just the same.
The Lena Rossi image is famous, but tossing it into a CS class with a bunch of eighteen-year-old men is just asking for a hostile work environment for any women in the class.
So what are you saying exactly? That any classroom that has a woman's face in it is a hostile work environment? That the only way to treat women as equals is to force women to wear masks over their faces? Or do you feel women should flat out be excluded from being in a classroom to prevent this hostile working environment?
You do know you can get your wish just by moving to a country more in line with your morals, like a Muslim school that forces women to cover their faces by law. You don't need to turn America into what you want. What you want is out there already, just go get it.
yes, a netbook running a locked down version of linux, with NO update ability, signed binaries and (to be even more sure) put the os in ROM. require some kind of key to do any writes at all to it. have dual sections of rom for redundancy and crc check them; if one is bad, switch to the other.
OK, lets pretend that exact configuration is used.
Now the airline manually signs and offline installs the updated manuals, resulting in the same exact breakage you see here, and in the same situation.
Your solution just resulted in the grounding of the aircraft. Except your solution will take much much longer to install the fixed data back.
The only real difference is now it is you personally and Linux that will unfairly and incorrectly get the blame instead of Apple.
Why would anyone use cheap crap such as an iPad in a professional passenger airplane? How stupid is that?
For the same reason, and just as stupid, as using any other tablet such as Android or Surface, or even the original paper books.
In other words, your solution (which ever one it may be) has the exact same problem as iPad, so is a broken stupid solution.
Yes even paper. If I ripped the pages out of the paper manual and replaced them with chewing gum and hardcore porn (aka a fight club styled update), the situation would remain the same and the plane just as grounded as now.
Either beef up your trollskill some, or learn how to computer. You failed miserably at both.
This instantly reminded me of an 80's movie called Runaway with Tom Selleck, who is a part of a special task force to hunt down and destroy malfunctioning "runaway" robots.
Their handguns could lock on a target and program the bullets just before firing to stay on their target, although they looked more like miniature rocket based missiles with their own tiny engines and guidance fins.
I remember a number of the larger scenes giving a bullet-point-of-view type thing as the target goes running away and try to evade the shots by going around corners and obstacles, even purposely missing other people, before embedding into their target and exploding.
Personally I do consider both examples before as portables.
But the only other comparison would be to non-portables, which was most everything else available at the time.
I would say both my PC Jr and AT&T 4400 were pretty small and light compared to most micro-computers before that. But either of those was still three trips to the car, or five trips total for both by putting all the cables and such in a box together.
The Compaq portable was a single trip, as was my first//c with LCD.
Most older micro's, even the ones called "small", required moving equipment and multiple people.
The Apple//c was only 7.5 pounds, which is FAR more portable than the original Compaq portable which was 28 pounds.
I believe the term you are claiming this isn't would be "laptop". But for the time these were as portable as you got.
You didn't need packaging material due to the slightest shock breaking something, they could be disconnected and moved by a single person without any safety registrations (usually requiring one to lift at least 50 pounds), and could be transported as a single unit.
Of course adding extra peripherals limits that portability - just like now - but the most common hardware was built in and self contained.
The only big downside for portability the Apple//c had was that the display was an option, and you could choose between the attachable LCD or an external black and white (well, green) CRT that was much cheaper. The CRT was not very portable, although I remember being able to carry it by the built in handle as a child, but it was just as fragile as any other CRT at the time.
Every game I see boxed in a store, or even on Steam for that matter, do not have a PC icon on them anywhere. They have a windows logo and/or an apple logo (and on rare occasion a tux penguin logo along with the other two)
What game(s) have you seen with only "PC" or equivalent on it?
The legislation prompted a roiling debate in Sacramento, and last week hundreds of people protested at the Capitol, arguing that it infringed on their rights and that it would unfairly shut their children out of schools
For the moment let's set aside fair vs unfair, and just take their claim at face value. This action is unfair for the purpose of argument.
That said... I fail to see what exactly their problem or complaint actually is.
This small group of people are arguing for the legal right to unfairly engage in germ warfare while attempting to murder other school children and even some adults. The argument is this is perfectly acceptable and should be a protected right.
So with that, these people clearly have NO problems with unfair choices being forced on everyone else, as that is the legal right they are demanding.
So why complain when they get their wish, and we "unfairly" shut their children out of school?
If they have no moral or even legal issues with (their) unfair choices being forced on people (us), why do they complain why the court states there is no moral or legal issues with (our) unfair choices being forced on people (them)?
It has already been established that unfairly infecting other children at school is not only acceptable but should be a legal right, so clearly it is also both acceptable and should be a legal right to unfairly kick their children out of school, exactly as these parents are marching at the capitol to demand.
Obviously the correct answer is that the hypocrisy is strong in these people - it just still somehow amazes me to this day such people don't realize that hypocrites are exactly what they are being.

I do IT at an electronics manufacturing plant - the HVAC uses a JACE BacNet controller that is on the network, so somehow I'm the one that has to deal with any/all HVAC messes (It does plug in the wall after all!)
$2M for 20 buildings (rounding up) is $100k - which compared to multiple quotes for retrofit I've gotten over the past two years is a fucking STEAL!
Hell it cost us that much to replace just three dual-compressor Ground Roof Top Units (don't ask, I didn't name them) on our existing system.
Also we are not government, just industrial. None of the HVAC companies I use are government either.
This isn't "pork" by any stretch, it's just how HVAC is.
You can argue it shouldn't cost that much, just like I can argue Oracle software or Sun hardware probably shouldn't cost that much, but unless you live off eBay (or use a c64 and student labor to write code) it's just simply a fact.

I thought the web was to add inline images to your gopher menus :P
Personally I just make sure to compile jQuery using VanillaJS to take advantage of all the speed VanillaJS offers!
Personally I do consider both examples before as portables.
But the only other comparison would be to non-portables, which was most everything else available at the time.
I would say both my PC Jr and AT&T 4400 were pretty small and light compared to most micro-computers before that. But either of those was still three trips to the car, or five trips total for both by putting all the cables and such in a box together.
The Compaq portable was a single trip, as was my first //c with LCD.
Most older micro's, even the ones called "small", required moving equipment and multiple people.
The Apple //c was only 7.5 pounds, which is FAR more portable than the original Compaq portable which was 28 pounds.
I believe the term you are claiming this isn't would be "laptop".
But for the time these were as portable as you got.
You didn't need packaging material due to the slightest shock breaking something, they could be disconnected and moved by a single person without any safety registrations (usually requiring one to lift at least 50 pounds), and could be transported as a single unit.
Of course adding extra peripherals limits that portability - just like now - but the most common hardware was built in and self contained.
The only big downside for portability the Apple //c had was that the display was an option, and you could choose between the attachable LCD or an external black and white (well, green) CRT that was much cheaper. The CRT was not very portable, although I remember being able to carry it by the built in handle as a child, but it was just as fragile as any other CRT at the time.
Every game I see boxed in a store, or even on Steam for that matter, do not have a PC icon on them anywhere.
They have a windows logo and/or an apple logo (and on rare occasion a tux penguin logo along with the other two)
What game(s) have you seen with only "PC" or equivalent on it?
The legislation prompted a roiling debate in Sacramento, and last week hundreds of people protested at the Capitol, arguing that it infringed on their rights and that it would unfairly shut their children out of schools
For the moment let's set aside fair vs unfair, and just take their claim at face value. This action is unfair for the purpose of argument.
That said... I fail to see what exactly their problem or complaint actually is.
This small group of people are arguing for the legal right to unfairly engage in germ warfare while attempting to murder other school children and even some adults. The argument is this is perfectly acceptable and should be a protected right.
So with that, these people clearly have NO problems with unfair choices being forced on everyone else, as that is the legal right they are demanding.
So why complain when they get their wish, and we "unfairly" shut their children out of school?
If they have no moral or even legal issues with (their) unfair choices being forced on people (us), why do they complain why the court states there is no moral or legal issues with (our) unfair choices being forced on people (them)?
It has already been established that unfairly infecting other children at school is not only acceptable but should be a legal right, so clearly it is also both acceptable and should be a legal right to unfairly kick their children out of school, exactly as these parents are marching at the capitol to demand.
Obviously the correct answer is that the hypocrisy is strong in these people - it just still somehow amazes me to this day such people don't realize that hypocrites are exactly what they are being.
