    I'm waiting for the first instance of child nudity filmed by police to become the new thing in child port...

    Wait, no, I'm not waiting for the porn, I'm waiting for the shit storm in the media that it creates. This already happened once when someone filmed their exploits with an underaged girl, and media outlets were requesting copies of the tape along with other evidence as matters of public record. The judge had to actually issue an order to stop handing it out since it was basically child porn.

    Well, from my understanding, she didn't write a game, she wrote a visual novel. Likewise, she also ran a campaign against The Fine Young Capitalists, a non profit that also had a campaign to get women into game development. She referred to them as transphobic, mysogonistic, and what ever anti woman buzz words she could string together. Their indiegogo campaign was hacked and almost failed due to her attacks.

    Someone else also posted about how she emotionally abused an ex of hers, but I don't have any specifics on that so I can't comment.

    Except it's cloud computing, so you probably aren't using one rack, but processing across multiple racks. It would probably require multiple subpeonas to complete, with the first one to determine which ones were involved, and then another to determine where the servers are actually installed, and then a third to obtain those specific servers. By the time it's gets to that point, I would hope that someone figures it out correctly.

    Depending on the layout, you may not even know it's there. It's in it's own locked cabinet and nobody uses it, they may just call it the heater and it could be missed.

    The USA was not the main importer of slaves, you'll find South American countries imported far more slaves than we did. But we did wind up with more slaves here than they had, mostly because they were born here. We had slave families that were several generations long. Now, what do you think would happen if we were to just grab a bunch of fourth or fifth generation Americans, and just boat them over to Africa, a country that they have never known, and have only maybe heard stories about. Do they know what tribe they came from? Will they speak the language? WIll they know how to survive? WIll they just be sold back into slavery by the first tribe they come across?

    Would african slaves have been better off if they were never brought to the USA, sure, slavery sucked. Would dumping a bunch of people off on the shores of a country they never knew have made things right? Of course not.

    Fun story; CIO caught someone writing their password on a post-it note attached to the monitor. He took it down and told them not to do it again. Next time he walked past the desk, he saw the username and password on a post-it not stuck to the monitor, so he took it and wrote the guy up. When he saw it a third time, he boxed up the guys computer while he was away from his desk. He then told the guy that he was still expected to perform his job, but was nolonger allowed to use a computer due to violations of the companies IT policies.

    He quit before the end of the day.

    Obviously, you need to have a security personel sitting at the door checking ID's.

    Which means that the obvious answer is to have IT working directly with each user. When a user needs to log in, they call IT, IT checks their credentials to ensure they have the right person sitting at the computer, then logs them in. You'll need another couple IT people to make sure that workstsations are locked with people get up, and of course, you'll need someone available to log the users back in when they get back from the bathroom or where ever they go.

    The solution isn't education, it's more gatekeepers. Just think about the number of IT professionals that would be employed with the demand that this type of security would require.

    What exactly is wrong with cloud storage? You complain as though you have no idea how to use cloud storage. It's not for your nudes or keeping the secret recipe for KFC, but if they did indeed bump it to unlimited storage as an earlier article stated, I would lvoe to be able to back up my terabytes of video files and music. I would also love if where I saved them to was easily accessible from any desktop or mobile device. But I guess I'm just crazy like taht.

    As Iunderstand it, Depression Quest isn't a game because there isn't really any gameplay. It's more of a multimedia book.

    Like I said, I never played it though, so I could be wrong. I did play a game that was named something about Esther, or at least, I read a multimedia book that was about Esther. You simply held W to walk forward, and read the screen. It wasn't a game. It was a poem that you walked through. I'm upset that I wasted time "playing" it.

    It too got good reviews, except again, it's not a game. You shouldn't buy it if you want to play a game. If you want to read a poem that has some pretty visuals accompanying it, then by all means, Esther is your girl, but you don't play it.

    I think that the news is giving more coverage to these trolls, which may be why people seem to think that it's only "gamers" that are trolls. Of course, all this extra coverage just makes the trolls troll harder, which makes the problem look worse than everything else that has ever happened since the dawn of humanity.
