The entire submission reeks of "muh precious upper middle-class and wealthy neighborhoods and too much noise by those peasants who take care of our property for us."
Actual problems? Fuck it. Hey, you fucking upper-class snobs, how's that lead contaminated water in Michigan working out...
This might be a dumb question, but are you sure you don't have a VPN enabled? If you're a user of one and have its use so heavy ingrained into your Internet usage then I'd imagine it's easy to forgot it's enabled (and hence the consequences of geolocation).
Quite sure. This is a common problem with reclaimed IPv4, especially IP's that were formally used for spam.
I'm not actively trying to bypass their geolimits and apparently my living room, according by google is in sweden and by netflix it's ca, us. No VPN connections in use.
Fun, google is reporting I'm in Norway and "netflix is not available at your location." I'm sitting ~170km outside of Toronto, in Ontario. Geoblocking is garbage, the only thing it does is push people to piracy.
Funny thing is the only place I've ever heard about gamergate is here (and on a couple of links I followed from here in attempting to understand what it was), and I still don't know what the fuck it was about.
What is it? Basically it boils down to the gaming press shilling for their friends, shilling for the companies that are buying ad space, using clickbait to spread FUD, and then telling gamers that they don't exist as an audience and gamers in general saying "fuck you."
I keep hearing this social justice shit from people here who seem butthurt that they ain't getting any social justice and it just seems like a lot of sad people blaming each other for their shortcomings.
The only people who are butthurt over social justice are the SJW's, because people are tired of whining over how "everything is sexist, racist, problematic" because it doesn't conform to their narrow view of the world. You know those protests at yale, columbia and so on where the students were whining? Yeah, that's the face of social justice.
Funny, how this bullshit is still being parroted around a year and a half later. Also funny how nobody has heard of it, but the media just can't seem to stop talking about it too. A week doesn't go by where the media isn't either inserting gamergate into something, or saying that they're dead again this week. Funny how one of the main hubs(KiA) is one of the 100 busiest subreddits by size> . Or that when subs like/r/news/r/worldnews and so on start banning people, or censoring stories, the first place people go is KiA to boot.
One can't forget either that every time a minority or women said, no we're not sockpupets. The first thing you do is start screaming about how they're actually a guy, or that when proven wrong your only answer is "internalized misogyny, racism, sexism", or some other-ism, because it doesn't fit your view of the world. Or start screaming that minorities are "house-niggers, uncle toms, or native informants."
You realize how much bullshit your spewing? Hell, the guy that got this ball rolling was hit with a SLAPP for not bowing down. The law firm that's representing her over a 10 minute hearing where he wasn't allowed to speak in his own defense is one of the top 4 law firms in the US. In his defense though, he's now got major 1st amendment scholars working on his case.
Funny enough, neither the ACLU or EFF wanted anything to do with the case.
One also can't forget that the women in question filed a false DMCA claim against MundaneMatt over her video game that he reviewed, which is the reason why it started. And then exploded when the gaming press thought it would be a really, really, really good idea to attack their audience. By launching 15+ stories all on the same day about how "gamers are dead, gamers are no longer your audience." Tell me something, what would happen if a Linux mag/site, a car hobby site/mag, or golfing mag/site, suddenly came out and said "programmers/gearheads are over, they don't have to be your audience." Then spent the entire article saying how you're all sexists.
If anything, 5-8 years from now in marketing classes Gamergate will end up going down as the "thing you don't do, to maintain your audience."
There is safety in posting as an anonymous coward. ---
But, to my ears, you describe a male-dominated workforce that has circled the wagons and s profoundly hostile and suspicious of women:
They're likely more afraid that SJW's would dox them, and try to get them fired for having an opinion that doesn't sit with them.
Seems to me, it's just like when the usual flappy headed idiots said "we're not going to take your games away from you..." Queue censoring DOXA, Xenoblade, and this latest bit...
While your average SJW isn't running around trying to kill someone, they are threatening, doxing, harassing and trying to get people fired from their job because they don't like what you say. Fun thing though, ISIS and SJW's in general use the same blockbot... You of course can't forget either the number of SJW's who either openly support, or opine support for ISIS either.
10.5 years with out os updates? or software ram leaks?
Ran across a novell netware machine(1.0) that had been running non-stop for the last 25 years, it was responsible for all provincial housing listings. Did I mention it was hooked up using BNC's?
Can't wait to see the failure rate on this thing. How do they even get a hermetic seal?
Well we've been doing this with car tires for ~15 years now, nearly 20 on luxury model cars. Despite that both the rubber, the rubber-steel/aluminum bonding point, and the valve all leak. The solution was to over pressurize the tires in the early years, these days they simply slap some sealing compound on it. It's generally good for the lifetime of the tire as long as it's done properly. That's between 3-8 years.
I'm guessing it'll be similar in this case, though they'll likely have an easier time of it since the mating surfaces don't actually move, unlike a tire for instance. There's minimal flex, twisting, or strong inertia forces that react heavily on it.
You believed ol' Justin Trudeau when he said he wouldn't support it, then flipflopped and said he would, then he wouldn't. Thanks for enabling this shit, if it get's signed all we can do is hope that the SCC tells them to shove it.
Sadly I remember when you could directly contact UUnet engineers when there were routing problems and get tickets opened instantly, and repairs took next to no time. The positions though? Probably H1B replacements.
You're an idiot. Current generations(Gen3/3.5 and 4) of CANDU reactors can already run on pure thorium. There are two-on-going uranium/plutonium to thorium retrofits and plans to build several new thorium reactors going on at this point as well in Canada. Not forgetting that there one based on CANDU designs and a successful working 10MW thorium reactor for a desalinization plant in Chile, it's in use to this day.
OCZ is gone, they're owned by Toshiba now. Both my first gen OCZ SSD's are still working to this day, they're nearly 8 years old at this point and both PSU's that I bought from them are still chugging along. It was later when the president of ocz decided to start cutting corners and pissing over everyone that it turned to shit.
You missed the point entirely. The developers aren't complaining that they can't afford it. They're worried that, because the consumer version is a "high-end luxury item" (rather than the midrange affordable product that it was supposed to be), consumers won't purchase very many of these units.
The people who were hoping to sell games for these things are up shit creek, because there's gonna be like ten thousand* potential customers, instead of the hundred thousand they expected.
I said the same thing back when people were oohing and ahhing over it. I'm old enough to remember the VR craze back in the 90's, and even then a VR headset would run you in the $700-900 range here in Canada. I didn't expect less when it rolled out, the people who were hedging their bets that it would be cheaper at retail are likely going to lose their shirt over it, at least until the cost per unit drops. That'll be 3-5 years, and some developers will likely include an option to use it, but I figure it'll be at least 6 years before there's any heavy traction on it.
The sad thing is, that $600 translates to just shy of $900 here in Canada. For that price, I can build one hell of a PC with dual 27" monitors and either a high-end R3 or 900 series dual GPU setup.
I guess that's the thing. The car-industry knows that with electric cards there will be much less for them to do and sell after they have sold the car so they need new business.
Well my parents GMC Terrain('13) had it's centre console just give up the ghost one day on them. They weren't the only ones, there were so many consoles failing that there was on average a 9 week delay for a replacement. That's a lot of failures, even the warehouse where he worked a GM-NPDC, would get in 3-4k units per week and they'd all be gone in 48-72hrs all warranty repairs. For those curious the retail price is indeed 1k/unit, the dealer price is around $790cdn.
Even at that, a lot of dealerships generally don't even touch the electronic stuff like this. They hire out-of-shop companies(either guys who are mechanics and specialized, or trade services with other dealerships even competitor dealerships that have someone they've hired to do the work) that specialize in diagnostics, repair and replacement for this type of work.
Vegetable oil works very well for small to medium bodies of water it only takes a little bit. It's what we use in Canada for mosquito control along with Bti(Bacillus thuringiensis israeliensis) and Methoprene, we also use pesticide foggers for adulticide when the weather is very humid in the summer. Most of Canada has large flowing bodies of water as well, so usually before any program comes into use there's 3-8 years of ecological impact studies to determine what other problems may crop up because of it.
Firearms safety and marksmanship should be a section every year through high school.
It used to be. My dad was living in the US in the 60's and 70's finishing both high school and university respectively, it was taught as part of a high school education then in Michigan, Kansas and in SoCal, until people started whining about "guns being in schools." It was also a standard here in Canada until the laws became so restrictive it was stupid.
Don't worry, when the centre console fails it'll only cost you $1k or more to get it replaced. And seeing as how every car company out there also makes the entire thing responsible for important things like the heater controls and signal chimes, this is gonna be a real fucking mess.
White working class? Man, it seems to be the working class in general at both parties. Look at how the DNC is acting now and their hissyfits, look at the hissyfits the RNC. Especially the entrenched on both sides, said working class has had enough.

Not paying very much attention to the news. Like I said can't go by a day without the media either whining or saying it's dead.

I think you mean it was entering an ice age then. The peak of the previous ice age and glaciation here in North America was ~30k-25k years ago.

Yes, because the world turns on the Canadian PM backing things. Hoohoohaha
Considering that Canada was one of the primary TPP groups in this besides the US, I suppose it is.
