I don't normally post about personal things, but this seems like a good place for it. There was another guy like him who passed away recently. My grandfather was an amazing man, and (I like to think) played a very important role in NASA's success. The den at his house is basically a museum of his medals and signed photographs with astronauts and presidents. I loved going through it with him, and I'm going to miss listening to his stories.
So just encrypt your porn before you upload it. problem solved. If I were to use it, I would probably use it for
archiving porn. I would prefer rsync but for the average person it would probably be enough to just upload
a zip file of last year's porn photos. It would be easy enough to encrypt your porn while you were zipping it.
Before anyone points this out, I will admit that bars aren't public places, but are generally open to the public. Unless the order to stop taking pictures is coming from the bar owner or employees, then I am under no obligation to stop.
While #2 is escalating the situation, the guys asking you to stop taking pictures with your friends are the douchebags. The proper response to your false dilemma would be to inform the guys "No, I am out with friends in a public location, and we are going to take pictures of ourselves if we want."
How the fuck is performance in a fully deterministic computer game more impressive than performance in an infinitely variable real world?
There are a finite number of games of Go possible. At least to my understanding, but I don't know all the rules. There are definitely a finite number of possible moves on a given turn.
I'm not really sure what the argument is with you and the GP. Trying to prove whether e-sports or traditional sports are harder or more impressive? I don't think it's possible to say. When you have humans competing against other humans at something, you're going to see some amazing things. It doesn't matter if it's an e-sport or a traditional sport, or if it's fully deterministic or infinitely variable.
As your profile was linked in a comment on Slashdot, I'm sure you've received many angry messages, so I will keep mine civil and simple.
Slashdot Beta has no usability for the core user group. If Slashdot Beta is implemented, and Slashdot Classic goes away, you will see a significant decrease in visitors. Please don't kill this community.
I read/. in chronological order, and am usually 3-5 days behind lately. I'm just getting into the stories with all the beta comments. My ideas and many more have already been voiced, so the above comment is mostly outdated.
1) Let's set up a boycott for the day that the beta site becomes the default. No one visits slashdot on that day, even the classic version that's still available.
One whose design is not brain dead and whose management will never become brain dead.
2) Let's take slashcode and set up a site with the moderation system modified so that the top 0.5% or whatever of the pool are eligible for "editor points" as well as "mod points". Editor points would give them the ability to post stories to the front page and edit the summary. The "management" would then come from the community and not be as easily corruptible.
I'm sure some people will poke holes in this, but this is what I currently do which works good enough for now:
I have a personal gmail address that I only give to people I know and trust.
I have the email address displayed above in the form kmcrandom+[COMPANY]@gmail.com that I use for online accounts. I have filters set up to automatically forward this mail to my primary personal address. So you can set up per-site email addresses without a custom domain.
For online accounts that don't accept the use of a plus sign, I used the bare kmcrandom@gmail address, and forward email based on the sender domain.
Mail that doesn't match either of those is immediately deleted.
All forwarded mail is neatly labeled in my primary personal gmail account.
I also have two custom domains that I use (very rarely) for professional contacts.
Both gmail accounts have two-factor authentication. I can easily block mail if spam starts coming to one of my assigned addresses. If people start guessing email address (kmcrandom+[GUESSED_COMPANY]@gmail.com) and start spamming, I could easily convert them to be kmcrandom+[UNIQUE_HASH_BASED_ON_COMPANY]@gmail.com.
I have one of these I bought for my Nexus 4. It worked horribly since the back of the Nexus 4 is glass, and would slide off the angled charger after a few minutes. I completely stopped using it after a couple of weeks of trying to get it to work well.
However, I got a Nexus 5 recently, and since it doesn't have the glass back, I decided to test out the wireless charger again. It works much better, although I really wish Google would allow people to trade in their old wireless chargers for the new design.
You're citing a single (deleted) post on an internet forum. It would be like me claiming Microsoft CEO Ballmer visits my cube during late nights coding and molests me.
Well, it's a little bit different, you can't delete your post:P
Snowden is a giant monkey wrench in that; He's done more to harm America than pretty much anyone since the turn of the century save perhaps Osama Bin Laden, if we want to count out dollars on it. I hope they find him and make him suffer for a long time, slowly. He claims to be a patriot, but he's done most damage than our biggest enemies.
I usually agree with you on most topics, but this just seems completely backwards. Do you actually believe this, or are you playing devil's advocate?
It's also nice, now that I'm used to it, to be able to just hit the windows key and start typing to get the program i want. The search is fast, and you really just type and hit enter.
Which you can do in Windows 7. I can't tell if this is an honest review, or if paid shills are just becoming really, really good at emulating rational human thoughts. What benefits are there to upgrading from Windows 7? Not just ways to get back functionality that was taken away, what actual improvements have there been?
I don't think they will make any games SteamOS-only. But they don't need to. Including a free copy of HL3 with SteamBox would be a very good incentive, and would still allow other Steam users to purchase HL3 separately.

Be grateful you made it back to this thread in under two hours. I am just now making it back after three days. Obligatory.

Dear O('_')O_Bush,
I'm a little sad that you don't care what I think, but I don't think I've told you yet.

Going back to something you said earlier:

Obviously a result of the new smart racquets

I'm pretty sure it was a reference to hunter2
And the $249 Nexus 4.
(Yes, it's almost a year old now, and was $349 when it first came out.)
We should have the firing squad made up entirely of politicians. Except they should stand in a full circle around the convicted criminal.
because of what Obama administration has done
From the summary:
The NSA memo dated October 2006...
Yes Obama is at fault for continuing it, but calling him out as the sole person responsible is not the way to fix this.
It's also nice, now that I'm used to it, to be able to just hit the windows key and start typing to get the program i want. The search is fast, and you really just type and hit enter.

My grandma used to give me birthday money in $2 bills. I still have a little over $100 worth.

Isn't yours the name of a castle?
If you don't like it don't buy it. Enough with the stupid fucking boycotts
If you don't like it and don't buy it, that's called a boycott...
