  1. Re:"sources," eh? "US officials" you say? on NBC Report: Russian Hackers Behind Attack On Pentagon Mail System · · Score: 1

    NATO is required to respond if there is a full invasion and that would be far from good

    And why would that be exactly? Care to explain?

  2. Re:Meridian 59 was the first MMO I remember on 18 Years On, Ultima Online Is Still Going · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and you can play for free too: good times

  3. Re:UO, EQ, WoW and now on 18 Years On, Ultima Online Is Still Going · · Score: 1

    What I don't understand though is why so many MMOs follow the exact same formula instead of trying something unique.

    Full PvP, sandbox MMORPG with FPS-like gameplay (instead of selecting a target and clicking some OP ability): Darkfall

  4. Re:Meh on 18 Years On, Ultima Online Is Still Going · · Score: 1

    There are also plenty of other MMOs still around.

    Yeah, try Darkfall.

    Even if you don't do everything in the butt, you can have Deep Freeze ignore a data partition.

    It probably means "with the probability [of the event] approaching (or adjacent to) certainty."

    those photos do NOT look anything like what you see when tripping

    Of course. If the dose is high enough, these pictures only look similar to the onset of a trip.

    Wow, they trained a computer

    If they actually did that they'd have an artificial intelligence, but maybe I just overheard the "whoosh!"

  10. Re:They've nailed it on Turning Neural Networks Upside Down Produces Psychedelic Visuals · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While I agree that the photos provoke a similar reaction on a superficial glance, what struck me while on psychedelics was the actual texture of what you see, which extends fractal-wise when concentrated upon.

  11. Re:The first question that comes to my mind on Report: Russia and China Crack Encrypted Snowden Files · · Score: 1

    Strange, I was under the impression that these were the files he asked Wikileaks to publish in case something happens to him. Thx for the correction!

    Which files were the ones he posted then and urged everyone to make copies of (the several encrypted archives)?

    Everyone had access, you just had to download the insurance files, when they were dropped.

    How did they crack files he never took to Russia, because he feared they could beat him to get him to reveal the password? Flaw #1.

    You can download the encrypted files. Google snowden insurance wikileaks.

    What if I choose/can't afford to own a simpler 'dumb' phone?

    Then you use a UMS gateway.

    Sometimes I see a strip club that I could go to, and I wonder if I'd break some sort of agreement with my wife if I do.

  22. the only interesting thing about this machine is the Thunderbolt 2 port

    Which is not directly connected to the CPU's PCIe-lanes:

    Intel has never allowed motherboard vendors [save Apple] to hang the Thunderbolt silicon / add-in card off the CPU's PCIe lanes.

    When was that? In a non-existing peace-treaty, possibly?
    It is quite possible to argue that we're still in WWII, as there was no peace treaty between the German Reich (or the FRG, which assumed the administrative rights over most of its territory) and only the troops capitulated. Also there's no peace treaty between Japan and the USSR, there's probably a few more trivia bits that I'm unaware of.
    Also, Germany (the population, actually) was supposed to get (give itself) a constitution during the reunification process. This was successfully avoided as well.
    As there's no proper lever against Germany (e.g. Germany only submits itself to rulings in Den Haag, for situations that occurred after 2008), theres not a lot Greece can do, except default in their face.
    (I'll be happy to provide sources, if you require them, but these facts are pretty much common knowledge and easy to find.)
