The tone deaf handling of Patreon (and I still can't grasp that, considering who created it, created it as a starving artist) would have been a perfect moment for Drip/Kickstarter to say fuck the invite only, let's roll. They'd probably have gotten a huge swath of folks switching because there was a reason too. The completely shit way Patreon handled this by announcing it to the users and creators simultaneously... trying to solve a problem people didn't have.
It's unfortunate a lot of people lost income, as many people were like fuck this shit I'm out and bailed. I was hovering over the button to delete my pattern account this morning, but was trying to figure out how to keep paying the folks I do as I genuinely like this model of support.
What confuses me is how does buying stock in a company help the company stay afloat? They don't own the shares, the shares do nothing for them once they've sold them. It only gave whomever owned the shares prior to the government purchase a gain/loss from their previous purchase.
I don't get why whomever held those shares sold them. I bought a single share of GM for shits and giggles a while back. It's been steadily gaining over the last ~ six months and there was no reason to sell other than political reasons. If anything that should be what people should be focused on. Our idiots sold their shares at the worst time to do it and lost money. Why is that GM's fault?
Try having a kid with ASD take these tests. He completely fails the bullshit word problems. I have to read them four or five times to figure out what they want and I went.
I have yet to find a dealer that I *want* to visit. Every time I've bought a car (four times in four years) I get *argued* with when I come in for a specific feature set.
It's been like this since I bought my first car in 1990.
I want these features offered, some favorite responses.
You can add AC later (In Kansas, where six of the months of the year are >90 degrees)
You don't need four wheel drive
You don't need a high performance option, here, take the four cylinder model.
GPS? No one needs that
Adaptive cruise control? on a car with 300 HP? Why would you want that
You can always upgrade the stereo yourself, AM/FM will be fine.
You go to Ford.com, Chevy.com, etc, they have tons of cool options. You can build what you want, but good luck getting it from the dealer.
In all honesty, you should take 'E3' and replace it with 'everywhere'.
I was at a conference last week, wasn't E3 or WWDC. We hired 'Booth Ambassadors'. They were dressed fairly conservative, but had tanktops on under a light jacket. This was a computer industry conference...
I'm a big fat older nerd. However, at one point, I almost turned around and decked a guy for what he said to one of our two ladies working with us. They were professional, not meant to be alluring in anyway sexual, yet the innuendo, stupidity and what not I heard from men OF ALL AGES, even greyhaired old farts.
During a quiet point, I asked one of the ladies about the comments and asked her if 'Nerd conferences' were worse than 'regular things' and she said 'Quite honestly, and no offense, it's Men in general'.
She felt it came with the territory, but still....unacceptable.
(yes, i have three little girls, so it bothers me a lot especially since my oldest has started sending me links to Cosplay stuff saying I WANT THIS FOR HALLOWEEN)...i'm doomed.
They keep trying, the affiliate programs have been dead for years. There were a few small businesses that lost over $300K in revenue and moved out of state they got just from affiliate links to Amazon supposedly.
What really bemuses me as a resident of the state is that this is the GOP who runs on 'no government intrusion' and then adds this to the list of things the government says you can't do and somehow, some way, it's small government platform they run on.
What happened in this article would be the equivalent of a person walking up to a gun shop and saying 'Hi, I need to buy a gun that shoots people really fast, and a ton of bullets because I'm going to kill some people' and the guy selling it to him.
TFA is quite specific that he discovered what they were using the traps for, and went ahead and installed one into a co-hort of the first drug dealer who broke his because he stuffed it with $800K in cash. after he fixed it, he charged them to fix it, and then agreed to install one in the other guys truck.
As someone who sits behind you a lot maybe we should have a certification test where you have to go through crash sequences and shit can our device. I'd do that so I could read while we mindlessly taxi around DFW to the far away runway or sit behind 30 airplanes in LGA.
I agree with the assessment though, people are stupid and they'd be tangled in their headphones and dying before they just got up and followed directions out the plane in an emergency.
however pretending that everyone will die if a phone is left on is dumb, and it lets people like me argue with the rule makers (not the poor attendants) about it because saying it interferes with the radio and can cause a crash is bad. Interesting how unshielded the intercom is and how the GSM affects it. Has it gotten less as the EDGE network has disappeared and 3G/LTE takes over? i honestly haven't heard that dit dit-da-dit noise in a while. Used to hear it all the time on conference calls.
I'm curious why repeated attacks "by the Chinese" have invoked no response from the government? It seems odd that we have US Companies being attacked on US soil and there's not even a peep about it.
I'm not saying bomb people but tis seems.....weird...
I am not a programmer, I'm just a systems guy. I mainly use Mac and Linux, and 64-bit is something I've Just Done for some time now since the introduction of EM64T, however the few times I need to mess with windows the way it works with 64-bit just baffles me as to how 'hard' it seems to be and how 'little' 64-bit friendly / 64-bit stuff there is.
Can you imagine what those shows would have been like had they tried to apply science as we know it?
If you'd like a try, there is a series of books about "Black Jack" Geary that has FTL combat. It's actually quite a good read from a naval combat in space perspective with light speed weaponry + kinetic weaponry + trying to shoot at things that are moving up to 0.1c and what not. But, if you're not into that kind of thing it's got to be a horrid thing to read.
But they do address the few minutes away FTL issue, but it's because you can only enter/exit a system at certain points so unless you're going to turn around and leave you can't micro jump at them.
Things aren't expensive because (shocker) MORE PEOPLE USE THEM.
It has nothing to do with people making stuff expensive for expensive sake, it has everything to do with the fact that when a new iPhone came out two million people ordered one in 24 hours.
hell five years ago if a device that did computery stuff did anything close to that people would have freaked out. Now? iPhone 5 is SUCH a disappointment.
Amen. Amen. Amen. Good lord UI on many apps is horrible. Not just Linux, but it's the biggest offender.
I used linux as a desktop OS when RH was still 6.2, and 7.0 and didn't have 'enterprise' in it.
Then I gave up, got a Max because it's core was unix-based and never looked back. I'm sure many people like the roll your own of linux and I learned a ton using it and apply it at work every day, but when I get home and want to goof off shit just need to work and other than clicking a few times to install something I don't want to watch something compile.
I'm sure it's gotten better, but still, to this day, if a GUi starts on Linux I'm lost as to what to do in it, and open a command prompt and do everything from there.
Huffington Post is one of those sites I avoid because they mainly cut/paste the entire article and don't reference the original site. A few times I've followed the link I've had to play google detective for a few minutes to find the original article. Just seems shady and with the news of how little to not they pay the people who write for them I stay away from them.
That's when my iPad's charge. I lay down at 12, 1, or 2AM, plug it in, pass out, and when I wake up it's charged and if it took an hour or six to charge I give no fucks. It's charged.
Is your goal to provide internet access to church members or to charge them for internet access like a hotel?
How many people do you expect?
For example the Linksys E class routers have a built in 'guest network' feature that has a second SSID that is broadcast for Guests and allows up to 10 simultaneous users to connect. This gives them internet access only and doesn't allow them access to the actual network. Though it's limited to 10 people. This would be a simple solution but if you had more than ten people wanting access it could cause problems.
I have a NetGear WNR3500L. It has a guest network option that allows me to create a second SSID, allow or disallow access to the rest of my network, and allow or disallow the ability of the machines to connect to each other if they're on that network.
If you aren't looking to charge for it those two options to me seem like the best. Inexpensive and easy to configure.
Don't forget Immunet (http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/about/win32/) which is free if you are connected to the internet with a $25 yearly fee to do a lot more and when you're offline. Based off of ClamAV.

and half the banking and finance websites don't allow the symbols, and it's too long
That wasn't an analogy. That was sarcasm.
Let's shitcan IPV6 right now, who needs it, because clearly because some people were concerned it's a reason to ignore it all now and keep using ipv4
Ah, thank you. I missed that part.

Or, maybe Apple being expensive is a giant troll that won't die and they're really not that expensive.

I mean the way the super-right wing groups are going they'll probably use it as an app to round people up with.
