This is pretty much exactly what you get with RetroPie. I wonder if the 4k video is limited to x264 or can it do HEVC (kind of doubt it)?
Except RetroPie, A Raspberry Pi 3 (with integrated Bluetooth) and a quality wireless controller will set you back significantly less than $70 (the lowest-priced option Retroengine available). Sure, you don't get the Cool, Genesis-looking enclosure, but I already have a *real* one of those. I just slapped an Atari sticker on my Pi's lid.
Correct. TFA doesn't understand a few concepts. "Noon" doesn't mean 12 pm, it means the moment of the sun's apex in the sky. What time zones accomplish, roughly, is align those two events.
so step 1: STOP CALLING IT NOON!
Reading my own comment, I realized that these releases could still be blamed on ignorance. If an FBI archivist was trying to make his or her own personal voting decision, pulling up the FOIA records from whichever hard-to-access database they live in, and then (in ignorance of the fact that a script would post the info to Twitter) copying them over to this easy-to-access web archive, there might be an excuse. I guess.
I thought they already explained this: the Twitter account automatically tweets when a certain number of FOIA requests have been reached for a set of documents. I'm guessing that a bunch of FOIA requests from early in the election season finally went through, so you're getting tweets just now that are all related to Clinton.
Who is the "they" that explained it this way? It's trivially easy to disprove. Just look at the Fred Trump document. it appears to be a 1991 release of data in response to a 1966 FOIA request, containing information covering the years 1962-1988.
The only thing new is "adding" the document to this WWW-based "vault." I'm sure similar metadata could be retrieved form the Clinton documents. This is just a blatant Hatch Act violation.
That's why you tell your manager about your holiday plans. or do you just up and leave when you feel like it without letting anyone know? You sound like a great employee.
I'll be, uh... hiking the Appalachian Trail! Yeah, that's it.
I was considering buying a echo dot but discovered it couldn't control the fire tv.
Will apple have better luck making their own stuff work together?
I'm guessing yes, because the new "Home" app in iOS 10 is like an IoT control center, and some of these "hub" features were put into the TVOS update, and iOS10 for iPad.
Well, it's not FBS. I consider myself a decent nerd, but anyone who hasn't heard that since 2006, the former NCAA Division I-A and I-AA are now called the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), must have been living under a rock.
FSB-- Financial Stability Board? Front-side bus? Russia's Federal Security service (KGB successor)?
Given the number of other things Apple's done like this I'll side on this becoming a trend.
Yep. People that have to have the latest Apple device will continue to need the latest Apple device.
I see what you're trying to do there, but the straightforward interpretation is more accurate than yours. Remember the outcry when Apple removed the floppy drive from their computers? Or the VERY vocal minority complaining about having to buy new peripherals when Apple switched to USB ports? Both were industry-leading moves that quickly became the standard.
Great that they would do that. But what's $100'000? One person-year of wages, two if you're frugal? It's hardly enough to fund a serious project.
...aaaaand right there is your "systematic bias." Engineering college graduates want more money than the organizations that are improving the world can offer. It's just that simple. Want to improve the world? There are probably dozens of projects at Engineers Without Borders that you could contribute to. Safe drinking water in the third world; building bridges; sanitation projects; power generation and distribution.
Unlimited, as in you can listen to it 24/7. Just because you'll run out of new content before the selection changes doesn't mean you can't re-play from the selection of 50.
I'm not planning on spending any of my hard-earned cash on this movie, so can somebody tell me if it explains his rationale for not taking advantage of any of the LEGAL options that were available to him?
Funny, I didn't get modded off-topic. The whole thread is tangential to the games platform discussion. If you want to pull it beck to that, riddle me this: how many different partitions/Microsoft OS's will a user need to install on their new game machine to enable access to all of the Microsoft-heritage software they desire? On today's PC's, it's two. On Scorpio, it's likely to be three. And that's at least one too many.
You're the only one who made Windows backward compatibility the focal point. The discussion was regarding x86 PC hardware backward compatibility. You are simply trying to move goalposts.
Then you completely missed my point. sure, X86 is backwards compatible, and sure, you can install DOS as your OS. Just how productive are you going to be at every task *other* than the one you need DOS for? My point, in calling it a distinction without a difference, is that the majority of the folks running on X86 are doing it with a Modern Windows OS. If that OS arbitrarily disables the CPU's ability to execute 16-bit code, then installing a different OS on a separate partition is just one example of "flaming hoops." I'm not moving the goalposts, I am putting the hardware into the context of how it is typically deployed.
I didn't say anything about DOS. My comment was a counter to the claim of backwards-compatibility in Windows. There are 32-bit applications that will run just fine, but take hours to install because their installers are 16-bit.
Hell, I can still install and run DOS natively on the latest Core i7 series CPUs. What little kids like "phresno" don't get is that backward compatibility is and always has been one of the strengths of x86 PCs.
Yeah, it's SO backwards-compatible, you only need to jump through FOUR flaming hoops to run a 16-bit installer.
Someone has a bone to pick with T-Mobile...the free Lyft ride and Wendy's frosty have absolutely nothing to do with Net Neutrality or adding Pokemon Go data to binge on. They are weekly gifts through their T-Mobile Tuesday giveaways which they've had for I don't even know how long, but long before now.
For about a month. There's also a free Vudu rental every week. They already terminated the free medium pizza at Domino's (after two weeks), because too many customers were actually redeeming the offer.
That really depends if Pokemon start mysteriously appearing in Starbucks, or if you get ads for places in your vicinity. The game monetizes your activities as well as in-app purchases (which could also be tied to real-world promotions based on location). Therefore it is east to see a profit motive for Nintendo and for any network provider who cuts themselves a deal in return for some revenue.
They've already announced that in ~30 days, every McDonald's in the US will be a Pokemon gym.

As soon as they add providers that 95% of us actually use. You know, like Comcast, AT&T, Time-Warner...

Well, if he is really old, there is still carbon-14 dating.
Which is only able to tell you when something died, not when it came into existence.
Making the phone thicker also results in more material use.
Which I'm sure is a great concern to a company which used to mill a laptop case out of a solid aluminium block.
You do realize that the material removed isn't discarded, right? It goes right back into the forge for next week's aluminum block.

That is a Windows issue, not an x86 issue.
When both the installer and the application it installs are Windows programs, that's a distinction without a difference.

Too bad they've already used the motto "Plays for Sure" for a different product (and then abandoned the technology).
This. Cable doesn't need pay-as-you-go, it needs a la carte. I'd pay $15 a month for AMC, FX and NASA select.
