The Walking Dead has writers? I thought someone just shit on a bit of paper and they worked from that. And then passed it on to the Game of Thrones people.
According to NASA:
"Our goal is to have the entire planet adopted by Earth Day, April 22. Once all 64,000 pieces are adopted, we'll start again from the top, so everyone who wants to participate will be able to."
So, basically, we're going to sell something off that we don't own and you don't get and once we've sold them all we're going to sell them again? Fucking brilliant!
Once again, some random old guy on Slashdot has all the answers that teams of highly paid engineers and PhDs building an actual system have failed to account for.
That is correct.
And by the way, I'm not the only one pointing out all the places they fucked up when squirting out their engineering fantasy.
Why don't you hop in your flying car and zoom down there, let us know how they're coming along?
Not being funny, but I'm just a random guy with no real experience in vacuum at all and even I know it's never gunna fucking work.
A colonization experiment would need to be more well thought out than "let's crash this doodad into this possibly life supporting place and see what happens!"
Life with a potentially separate origin to life on earth is of interest to science. Therefore you don't destroy it. The idea is that you don't destroy something you want to study, because once it is destroyed you won't be able to study it.
I hope that breaks it down for you.
How do we know we're not here because some other race should have been more careful with their probes?
Besides, as far as they know there's nothing there anyway and then we can study how these things do on which ever moon.
With an attitude like that you wonder why we don't want you here. Just stay home. We don't care.
We have people literally dying to come across our borders to get here. If the US is THAT bad, why are they coming?
Yeah, and you're doing everything possible to fuck them all off as quickly as possible. Those people literally dying to get across the border aren't going to bring money in, exactly the opposite. So you just take that as evidence of your own superiority while even your companies try to get as much of their money out of america as possible.
Because those developing this new generation of hardware deliberately want to be able to do these things to us. "Convenience" is nothing more than the marketing department's spin on it.
That's all well and good but why are people buying this crap? That's my question.
I have no problem with what the company did. If he would've called tech support and not been a jerk maybe he'd have gotten the issue resolved and everybody could've been happy. Instead this lunatic gets online and goes off on the company as if he's entitled to never run into a technical support issue with a product. I'd have bricked his device too.
Well remind me to never buy anything from you if you're prepared to just take it back in petty revenge to a poor review. Yeah the guy could(should)'ve conducted himself better but he's paid for a product that's not working and the company shouldn't be shutting out his access until THEY have given his money back instead of shutting him out and pointing at amazon.
Imagine this: you live in the slums in Mumbai. Your father goes thru trash every day, hoping to find tin cans to sell, and your mother tries to sell home-made bread on the market to feed all of your 6 brothers and sisters. Now you get the opportunity to get a three year degree in software engineering and go to the U.S. to work for a tech company. You have no clue about all the politics surrounding H1-B in the U.S., and you don't know that you will be grossly underpaid comparing to your American peers.
Who would not take this opportunity with both hands?
I've worked with many Indian people on an H1-B, and my anecdotal evidence is that they really are just like everyone else. Some are good, some are a bit less. But all share the same hope and dreams of being able to permanently stay in the U.S. and doing it the legal way.
Instead of only discussing those pesky Indians taking American jobs, let's keep this in mind as well. Let's focus on the companies that are responsible for the abuse of the program. Southern California Edison, Disney, etc. Wipro and Infosys committing visa fraud. These are the bad guys, not Balu from Bombai.
I'm sure there are some problems but in general, the Switch is freaking awesome. I bought it with Zelda, and it's the first time in FIFTEEN years that I'm at work and then think to myself: "oh boy, in an hour or two I can go home and play Zelda!" It's that amazing.
I did have to sell it though. My RSI started acting up and I really really can't risk any problems since I'm self-employed. Damn shame.
THIS!
Last time I felt like this I was a teenager, playing Super Mario 64.
I'm not sure but I think the N64 pad was designed with an Octopus in mind.
People used to wrap their XBOX 360s in towels to make them fail and get them replaced under warranty until Microsoft sent them a properly fixed unit. Nintendo needs to be careful - if they just swap units out for identical ones which will fail in the same way the return rate could shoot up.
That was also a temp cure after it had failed, wrap it up and let it run for a while and it got so hot the solder kinda reset itself then you could run it for a little bit before it gave you the red ring of doom again.
Or on the other hand they write their shows then take it around and try to sell it. In your case if they are being paid to write a show then they need to shut the fuck up and get on with it because that's how jobs work.
Yeah, I do get that. Ultimately TV is about making money and not expressing art but still, they are the ones writing the shows. Seems to me they should be embracing the streaming media as they are more likely to take a chance on more original content, or look into the crowdfunding model and try and actually get their stories told the way they want.
Oh, so it's producers who write the shows and what happens? I guess the writers really do have a lot of influence and are more interested in making money out of it but it's the producers that put pen to paper to make it happen. Gotchya.
Slashdot Mirror
TWD is off till next Oct, etc....
The Walking Dead has writers? I thought someone just shit on a bit of paper and they worked from that. And then passed it on to the Game of Thrones people.
If you believe the mainstream media.
Are you implying that they didn't fly to the moon, or that they did have time for such nonsense?
According to NASA: "Our goal is to have the entire planet adopted by Earth Day, April 22. Once all 64,000 pieces are adopted, we'll start again from the top, so everyone who wants to participate will be able to."

Can you not just buy a tractor these days? One that doesn't have all this software on it that is just basically a tractor?
I didn't realize deer were that strong!
They carry some pretty high-power rifles these days
The Donald can't even rein in his own hair.
I can't be sure but I think it's supposed to look like that.
If only they had hired you. I'm sure this terror attack thing flew right under their radar.
So what, are they thinking it won't be a target or that it's damage/sabotage proof?
Once again, some random old guy on Slashdot has all the answers that teams of highly paid engineers and PhDs building an actual system have failed to account for.

It's called airplanes and airports and has existed since before you were born.
You mean since World War II, and there are people alive today who were born earlier. Off my lawn with you, young fool.
Airplanes were invented waaay before ww2.
I'm sure last week it was the destabilization of Iraq that was the cause of ISIS.
It wasn't just one thing, it was whatever is convenient right now.
A colonization experiment would need to be more well thought out than "let's crash this doodad into this possibly life supporting place and see what happens!"
Well, it's more of an 'after the events' plan.
Oh great, now the sirens busted AWOOGA AWOOGA abandon ship!

the Irish terrorists were motivated by the sense of nationalism, not religion.
With the Irish those are two sides of the same coin. The Northern Irish at least.
"borrowed from us in the first place"
Like you, we all borrow from China now.
Who gives a shit? None of the money is real in the first place and it's literally impossible to pay it all back anyway.
Because those developing this new generation of hardware deliberately want to be able to do these things to us. "Convenience" is nothing more than the marketing department's spin on it.

It's a corporation successfully trying to kill off the Linux component in phones.
With software in TVs?

TL:DR don't hate the player, hate the game
