WEAPONS! So you got cut off. You've got a drone at your disposal. Imagine the possibilities.... hack that puppy into a lean mean traffic revenge machine! The roads just got safer my friends!
No - over essentially stealing and profiting off of another person's hard work without permission (which is the case here). Whether it's a video game or anything else is irrelevant.
It's just a coincidence of course, but this insane couple happens to be Jewish and Chinese, two of the 'superior' minorities they mention. Wow, who'da thunk it.
Ridiculous individuals.
People who complain about things like, companies taking their employees to work on company busses......wow, wtf? I don't even get how someone can seriously make a complaint like that without laughing at how whiney and ridiculous it sounds. They have way too much time on their hands and need to start spending it productively, rather than focusing on being as much of an ass as possible.
As some other people have mentioned - in my current company everyone is in the same open office. It's an open office of over 100 people, and no matter the level of the team member or visiting 'executive' everyone shares the same big desk spaces with no specific assigned (but sometimes habitually claimed:D) seating. There are tons of offices for people to use, but nobody uses them for long and often only for noise-reduced client conversations.
I can, however, see why people can lean towards the critics *or* the advocates point of view, because every office is different and every company has different levels of trust and transparency, if I worked in an office with execs in private offices and everyone else forced into an open space, I'd be critical too.
Not that any of this relates to the post nor the comments, however, enjoy your straw man and presumption filled retort. To be brief - obviously not MUCH is awesome, but that doesn't mean everything is shit; you can make the same trolling comment about anyone's nickname; more than a decade; and same to you - I suppose that's a matter of perspective.
I don't think the world has ever had to fill a google-sized hole, so it's hard to estimate how that would go or how long that would take. I'm guessing it would take a f'in LONG TIME to fill a Google-hole where it has already remained king for so long, it would be drastically different than China...and I'm guessing there are also far more damaging impacts that would occur as a repercussion, not just opportunities as it seems are being supposed here.
Yes, it's a ripoff of youtube from 2006. It's also one of the largest (the largest perhaps?) video portals on the internet. It's sad that you're stuck in a little bubble of "everything from China is terrible", and that _is_ the video, even though it sucks.
Your name is deceiving, "noh8rz", yet your comment reeks of nothing but hate -- someone asked for the video, this is the f'in video, from "the" video portal from the country this article's team is from, I'm being helpful - you're just being a douche bag.
Here's a link to the video on a popular Chinese video sharing website: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_X...
Looks pretty lame to me though. I expected a big nefarious blob, not what looks more like a fart lit on fire.
I'm confused. I forgot. Sure, the NSA has the ability to decrypt and listen/read everything we're doing, but this? Is it a tactic to make us all believe that they truly don't have these kind of powers, and our data is safe... a false story... or more likely - the truth, the majority of the people who have the ability to access everything they need to access and technologies reserved for government agencies but simply, are incompetent in their jobs. I believe the latter is the answer, DFUs are managing our information, which ultimately means - most of us, while technically are fully vulnerable, are really safe...simply because the exploiters of our information are fucking idiots.
Of pretty much anyone I know, they'd all reply with this answer. I've never heard another explanation, actually. Was this study done by interns trying to practice a study procedure as opposed to figure out something important/unknown? Not the type of paper I'd expect any scientist to fight to get their name on.
Looking at the trajectories, wouldn't it be a possibility that these stars didn't originate in our galaxy, but rather, could have been tourists flung out in a similar fashion from another supermassive black hole outside of our own galaxy? Just passing through on various trajectories, from potentially various other galaxies. Not much thought put into this - maybe the distance from the nearest supermassive black hole outside of our own galaxy makes this an impossibility, but seems the article doesn't go into any theories at all.
Ok, lets think a little higher level here. Does China want the islands? Yes. Is that why they set up this air defence zone *now*? No.
China often uses political currency against Japan as a means for domestic population control. They rile up the public against Japan to draw attention away from major domestic issues, essentially changing the group dynamic. In this case there was a massive oil pipe explosion of a Sinopec pipeline which resulted in many deaths (52 now?) in Qingdao, many more injured, and the government takes no responsibility and no firings will take place. This has people FURIOUS. To quell the riots on the way they need to utilize things like the DIaoyu which drum up nationalist pride, distract the masses, and cry victim at every opportunity.
The ieee article keeps mentioning the National Academy, which admits on their own webpage:
"Do the National Academies perform or fund research?
The Academies have no research laboratories. Study committees generally evaluate and compile research done by others rather than generating original data."
When we're discussing a topic that is highly controversial, and when the article itself mentions "To get a sense of how biases creep in, first follow the money." - lets do that. Oil & Gas contributions to buy politicians.... both contributions and lobbying funds, is a multitude more than that of any environmental organisation or, even if automotive companies WERE pushing for pro-electric studies which I see no presented evidence of and only presumption, automotive manufacturers are a tiny fraction of the contribution/lobbyist funds that ultimately go towards the people who apparently fund the "National Academies" stu...wait, it's NOT a study, it's a collection of bits of other studies which could be collected in absolutely any way they see fit to promote any agenda they like, since there's so much conflicting "data/fact" here.
Just a bunch of nonsense.
They think they're super smart, beyond that of the average guitar player.
What if brain zapping turns everyone into super geniuses? Suddenly scientists will have very few job prospects, everyone can be a scientist. THAT's the real reason they're worried.
Get zappin'!
It's what can we do with them. We know they exist, how about scientists find some great functional use for Black Holes - that way, when we can eventually get near one, we can use them for something.
Obviously theory is fine, but.. GET CRACKIN'! Great, there are a dozen more, who cares! Find something to do with them!
I don't understand why the PS4 ads don't mention anything about the fact MS has a lot of media/analysis around whether or not MS should simply drop or sell their gaming division, specifically the XBOX division. I would imagine this would be a HUGE if not the biggest point to make.
Nobody wants to buy into a product that they know has a high potential to disappear or take the risk of being put under an unknown owner, with unknown risks. Why is this completely left out? That'd be my #1 point. If they're thinking about getting rid of the product line do you seriously want to buy one?
If they're seriously claiming people under 18 years of age can not sign up to internet services or the service hosting company is legally liable, they're leading towards banning any people from using online services from that country. Age verification - how, scan and send in a driver's license/ID? Seriously? Is that even sufficient proof? How else would a company escape liability for offering an online service that may be abused in some way. It seems like this "parent's association" is not only overreaching in terms of who is responsible, but really - facebook? Are they the internet police? If something violates their terms, they remove it - if they are refusing to remove content that is either illegal or in violation of their terms..then they may be a target for legal action. I don't think this is the case here.

I'd wager the same style rant was made at my current client one day long ago, which resulted in our back end _using COBOL in 2014_.

Basically he's a thief? I found that the most interesting part of the story too - and hope this dude rots.
