Apparently, Donald Trump supporters are more dangerous than actual Islamic extremist recruiters. But this is Silicon Valley we're talking about, so that's more-or-less their actual stance.
Don't you love all of the GOP bashing even though the GODDAMN BILL WAS WRITTEN BY A REPUBLICAN?
You want to give Trump an extra 4 years? Keep bashing and invalidating people who are trying to do good things.
This article is shit. Where's the actual votes? How can you bash the GOP as if you know they ALL opposed it? Do we know what Democrats tried to oppose it and sell out their country? No? Nah, let's ignore them because it messes with "Muh Narrative."
Here's a link with more detail than the OP's article and the plumb sum of every comment here too:
It doesn't have the votes talled yet. (And the article didn't even mention the fucking bill HR number?) But it's got the list of cosponsers which is a pretty obvious indicator of SUPPORTERS of the bill.
64 Republicans 44 Democrats.
What's that? What? MORE REPUBLICANS cosponsered the bill? No! Surely, the GOP's only goal is to "Take Muh Freedoms!", remember?
Goddamn. Everyone posting here who whines about "The System" doesn't realize their freaking ignorance and blind "Support the Team!" politics are the reason this country is so damn gridlocked in the first place.
And I say all of this as a both-side voting, MODERATE. But nah, feel free to disregard my actual facts under the "He's probably a just Nazi" routine and continue ignoring the GOP people helping you (and ignoring the crimes of the Democrats who DON'T help you). That'll sure make the USA a better place.
You must have never used their enterprise Dynamics CRM and Dynamics NAV software.
If you can get it to run at all, half the shit is broken. Hell, the 2013 edition of CRM actually told you NOT to install the newest version of IE because it was "unsupported at this time." Yeah. IE (11?) didn't support CRM. Now I've got to explain to my clients why Windows Update completely broke their brand new system they paid thousands of dollars for.
Another great "feature" of CRM 2013 was a completely broken IMPORT system. So if you're trying to import anything other than mind-numbingly simple data like "addresses." You have to add stuff with timestamps, dates, and so on. You surely don't want ALL USER MESSAGES to lose their order and timestamps, right? TOO BAD. Even though CRM supports setting the timestamp, for certain record types the importer is completely broken and they never cared to fix it. So the "simple" solution? All you have to do is create a C# plugin, based on non-compiling code from an obscure blog. Oh wait, you can't just write a C# plugin. You have to use their HUGE SDK, their tools to "attach" the plugin to CRM and even that requires hours of reading manuals to figure out the right triggers. And if something goes wrong? ENJOY ZERO USEFUL ERROR MESSAGES. And yes, I turned on tracing (Which requires CHANGING THE REGISTRY in various places.) and debug mode.
Or how about SQL 2014/2015, which STILL doesn't properly support DPI scaling. The hallmark of Windows 10, and if you use a high resolution with a small laptop screen, random dialog boxes will not only be shrunk and force you to squint to read them... no... that'd be too easy. Some of them are so broken that you can't physically view all of the contents of the dialog AND YOU CAN'T SCROLL TO SEE IT. The dialog dimensions are shrunk and the data is to the right of a window you can't resize!
THANKS MICROSOFT. I love fixing your shit at my job while having to explain to clients that Microsoft's "It Just Works (TM) if you stay within the MS ecosystem!" is all a bunch of bullshit and the "It works" trademark is actually paved with the blood of IT workers.
Microsoft could make great products. Too bad they never bother to finish any of them.
I've been playing around with D for a year or so and it features 99% of the stuff you wish C++ had. Modules are one of them.
Plenty of the features in D end up in C++... except (literally) more than ten years later.
The same thing everyone always bitches about D (as a reason for not trying it), is the garbage collector. But GC isn't actually required and can be disabled entirely or for critical sections. The standard lib uses GC but there's no reason someone couldn't bother to write an identical GC-free one... there's just no incentive for the existing community. You can also use data types that are not seen at all by the garbage collector and go RAII till the sun goes down. The power is yours to decide.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a perfect language. But the language itself is.1% of the problems you'll encounter. The other 99.9% of the problem is the relatively small (but very helpful!) community, lack of tutorials and references, relative lack of D-specific libraries. When Javascript, C#, C++ and whatnot, you can literally google "C" + [any topic], and get pages of tutorials with great ones at the top. With D, there are much fewer and you'll end up with questions that don't have easy Google answers like "What does double colons mean here?"
But as for the language? Man, I love it. INTEGRATED UNIT TESTING. Compile-time evaluation of complex functions. Built-in 2-D/3-D arrays. Built-in dynamic and static arrays. Static if statements. Contract programming. Ranges beat iterators. Immutable types (which are NOT the same as const, which can be cast away.) Pure functions. Array slicing. constructors named this() instead of classname() so you can rename them simply. No stupid.h/.cpp file. No extern. NO CIRCULAR OR FORWARD DEPENDENCY PROBLEMS. Parsing is TWO PASS. So you don't have to forward declare a class that uses another class... ten lines lower in the damn file. I mean what is this, 1978? Support for directly calling C code, (and direct C++ is supported in a fork called Calypso.)
I could spend PAGES going on about each feature I learned and when I had a eureka moment for each one going, "MY GOD. THAT'S SO MUCH EASIER/MORE POWERFUL."
I'm currently building up a framework basis for a moderate-sized game and I'm honestly having _fun_ writing this D code. I don't spend time writing boilerplate. I spend my time writing code that does stuff.
I honestly hope, and can't wait, for the day that D becomes more popular.
If your model fails to predict an event, your model is faulty. Full stop.
So whatever methods they used, aren't enough to capture the 6502. A random number generator given an infinitely long time, would build a 6502 eventually. So the point here is not "It cannot be done." It's simply that "Given the methods we tried--which may be ALL the ones available to us in 2017--we couldn't do it." But we couldn't do it with our tools != nobody could ever do it with newer tools.
The almost universal praise in this thread for calling Julian a prick, is way more telling. There is NO WAY a rational person can look at the Julian situation and have an easy, simple, answer painting Julian as the bad guy. What the governments have done to him, they could do to any of us. And the fact that normally "skeptical" Slashdotters are almost completely in agreement here, is very telling.
I would not be surprised at all to find a number of these accounts run by the US government. This sounds entirely like a planned PR storm. Like pardoning Chelsea was intentionally done (since his prison has NO real international effects... he's not working for any foreign country or has any access to any new information) to ruin Julian's global reputation by giving him something he never thought was possible, to push him into a PR corner. And the icing on the cake is the almost wall-to-wall condemnation of a man that a week ago people were skeptically supporting in mass.
You mean to tell me everyone just MAGICALLY stopped supporting him? Even if he was the bad guy, the amount of stubbornness in humans would suggest he'd still have tons of vocal supporters. So this wall-to-wall coverage sure-as-hell sounds to me like an US army of armchair warriors have been unleashed to push public opinion across social media.
And don't even act like PSYOPS doesn't exist, or that Congress didn't JUST PASS A LAW (see H.R. 6393) enabling the US to fund armies of computer users to "counter the false news agenda." You'd have to be completely dense to think that the US wouldn't use known psyops departments, and known congressional bills legalizing "anti-propoganda" against a man the US has said "is in bed with Russia." When the BILL ITSELF was designed to target "Russian Propaganda." Julian == Russian Supporter (according to the US), and a bill targeting Russian Support on social media just got passed, and they're NOT here today? Bull, fuckin', honkey.
Long term non-steroidal anti-inflammatory ("NSAID") use causes stomach and intestinal ulcers.
I'm talking from experience.
Your body runs on hormones. Medicines have side effects because when you block a hormone responsible for multiple things (as they almost always are), you shut off ALL of those activities. Blocking the hormone that is responsible for inflammation, additionally shuts down it's other useful effects. It 1. Shuts down the generation of a protective layer for your stomach lining/intestines. 2. Increases acid production. Which is why people get ulcers.
ALL NSAIDS (Asprin, Ibuprofin, etc) do it. And the steroid route has even worse side-effects. (see "moon face" and saps your bone density.)
So my only guess here is that they give it to old people because they're so likely to die from a heart attack, that intestinal issues is an "acceptable risk."
So to sum it up: If caffeine reduces heart attacks, it's way a safer alternative to taking aspirin for years/decades.
Every article running this damn thing is yellow journalism. They all say "ZOMBIE MICE" and "SUPER AGGRESSIVE". But the research clearly states that the mice do not attack each other, or lab researchers. They only "super aggressively" hunt things that could be food. So it's more like saying they are "aggressively seeking/desiring food", "or aggressively hunting food-like objects". (Hunting being a separate urge. Think how young animals play hunt.)
There's nothing in this that actually has anything to do with zombies. No "dead body coming to life." No "hyper-aggression attacking everything in sight." Just some really animals that are really hungry for a 2 AM taco bell run.

- MPC-HC supports running custom shaders. (Supposedly KMPlayer does too, but I'm not familiar with it.)
I'm not sure if it supports file output. But that's already 99% of the battle already done for you. It supports pixel shaders, loading files through codecs. So even if it doesn't, why not just fork the github, and patch on some super-ugly-yet-functional file output?
But backing up further. What... exactly do you need the shaders for? Does it have to be a shader running on a GPU, or do you simply need filters? Is the task you're attempting really going to take advantage of a GPU?
As for "doing it for you", you can suck my balls. If you're capable of writing shader code, you're capable of dumping frames to a file.
>What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Programmer Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in [Algol to Java] and I’m the top [programmer] in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
A too, am a fan of "Race to the bottom" economics. Fuck those plebeians who want a livable wage when some drug addict will work for a couple of hits of heroin.
How can you say "Game Mode WILL MAXIMIZE gaming performance" and have zero information on what it does?
Windows has had a "prioritize performance for the user focused app" since like Windows 98 or 2000. So you can't just say "it will likely do that" because it's already supposed to do that.
I'm ALL FOR new features, kernel improvements, and so on. For Windows or Linux. I really don't care, as I use BOTH on a daily basis. But FFS, either give us some information to validate your claims, pick more conservative wording, or just straight up tell us this is an advertisement.
Slashdot Mirror
That's like saying Wal-Mart couldn't exist if it didn't treat its employees with respect and pay them livable wages.
Except that Twitter actually allows super sick shit. Like literal Islamic Terrorist recruiting and PR accounts.
Over 90,000 accounts for ISIS alone, according to one source.

It should be noted... that THz wireless is point-to-point. Like a laser. Even 100's GHZ are.
It also gets absorbed by objects and the atmosphere completely different. For the same reason that 5 GHZ doesn't go through walls well.
So this will not replace your current wifi's application.

So you're still not guaranteed to see a ROI.
Man... Slashdotters can't congratulate themselves enough on their witty Trump bashes.
Too bad they were too busy to do something that actually matters, like vote again him in the general elections.
