Keep in mind, those artists worked with old TVs and coaxial cable in mind. Their intention was not the sharp pixels we see in emulators, but this.
That makes sense. Looking at the video above I didn't remember things looking that bad, but I've seen so many "lo-fi indie" games that I've probably forgotten what things really looked like.
Has anyone come up with a mod that also emulates the display characteristics of 80s-era TVs?
After watching that, all I can think is how pissed off the artists must have been who actually created decent maps and sprites, only to have them completely butchered by the rendering system.
Yes, because foreign intelligence would have ignored Clinton's servers if not for Trump's encouragement.
That's not required for it to be conspiracy.
But where I'm confused, is that Trump Jr. supposedly receives this information as a quid pro quo bribe in exchange for getting rid of the Magnitsky Act once Trump is elected.
Quid pro quo isn't the standard for conspiracy.
You'd think evidence of receiving stolen top secret information would be easy to find, especially considering the Trump Tower was under surveillance by the FBI at the time.
Conspiracy doesn't require that it was successful.
Seemed to be the most interesting of the comments so modded, but looking at the thread leads me to conclude you're just arguing with a clever, possibly even witty, troll.
Yes, but the only way to counter the big lie is to point it out every time it's repeated. It sucks, but it's a game of attrition and persistence.
According to lawyers, the simple offer to help can be considered part of a conspiracy to violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
"For purposes of a conspiracy charge, it is not necessary for the action to be successful."
It also doesn't matter the contents of what was accessed.
This is the part where you say that Trump wasn't offering to help. No, but he was soliciting the activity. And when the fruits of that activity were offered to Trump Jr. he accepted it.
Humans drive 3.22 trillion miles a year. Your 102 'bad miles' pale in comparison to the 450 thousand successfully driven miles that proceeded that event.
I listed U.S. accident rates, you quote worldwide mileage. You realize the worldwide accident rate is significantly higher? I used U.S. because it was your stronger argument. (But still weak.)
Also, more accidents happen where it is cold and automated cars don't work and may never work.
Ah, so you admit that automated cars are already better than humans in clear, dry conditions. Good, that's progress.
I'm getting real tired of the argument that people are shit drivers. No one seems to have to prove it, everyone is just supposed to take it for granted. The truth is, driving is pretty safe as it is. If drivers were that bad, then human driving just wouldn't work. There would be pileups every day.
For 2016 specifically, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data shows 37,461 people were killed in 34,436 motor vehicle crashes, an average of 102 per day.
So ummm... there are pileups every day.
Any other objections?
First press release: Don't buy a Tesla. We're about to release a self-driving car done right.
Second press release. Don't buy a Tesla. It's not actually possible to produce a self-driving car.
Let me put it this way, about 17 people died from a confirmed negative reaction to the MMR vaccine in 2017 (most recent year I could find good data for).
It's a jobs program to give a real answer to the question "What do we do with all these out of work coal miners in Ohio that swing presidential elections?". The answer is to give them jobs doing something we want done anyway (replacing old, dirty coal plants with wind and solar).
No, it's about the copyright, not the truthfulness. Fake news is just as copyrighted as real news.
But the people creating fake news want it to spread. If this ruling makes their stuff more available than mainstream news, so much better for them. Why would they file a takedown?
You can buy any part you want but don't install it yourself if you want to keep the phone waterproof... that's the problem with letting the average consumer buy parts, they will on average break more than they fix (at least for something as compact and delicate as a phone).
Right to repair laws aren't mostly about people wanting to do the repairs themselves. It's about wanting to take it to your local repair shop instead of the factory authorized shop that charges 3 times as much. Just like in your own link where the top rated answer is from a local repair shop that can do the work.
You're probably being overly paranoid if you expect that to happen to you, as it's probably within an order or two of magnitude of pulling down a huge lotto jackpot.
Median rate nationwide of officers killing civilians is 3.8 per million people. It's hard to find statistics on lottery winnings - the states running them don't want people to know how bad the odds are - but in most states big winners number in the single digits per year. The biggest state, California, only has about 10 per year.
So if you were saying that there were an order of magnitude fewer officer killings, you were wrong. If you were correctly pointing out that it's only slightly more likely than winning the lottery, that's still way too often.
Thousands of employees who review patents for the federal government cheated taxpayers out of at least $18.3 million as they billed the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for almost 300,000 hours they never worked, according to a new investigation by the agency's watchdog.
Out of an annual budget of ~$3.6 billion, that means about 0.05% if I counted decimal places correctly. I dare you to name an industry where you think there's less than a tenth of a percent of overbilling of work hours.
Someone will create a system that queues up posts for "review" by real people who will sit and whack the "send" button as quickly as possible. They'll hire the people who used to do captcha farming, who went out of business when Google went to the image-free "I am not a robot" system.

Why was that a crime?

don't forget it like to build walls.

YouTube's disabling of comments is ironic
If by "ironic" you mean "totally fucking predictable" then yeah, I suppose it was.
I guess just tracking the ones charged with a crime wasn't enough.
Yeah, I guess when you put it that way it probably would be closer to 1/3.
Did you just ... accept a correction with grace and maturity?
What site am I on, and what did they do with Slashdot?
Let me put it this way, about 17 people died from a confirmed negative reaction to the MMR vaccine in 2017 (most recent year I could find good data for).
Got a cite for that? It sounds odd ... "about 17".
How many anti-vaxxers decided to get pregnant and lead their baby to full term with no medical help at all?
You seem to assume that's going to be a low number. You should read some mommy blogs.
Look at Seattle and San Francisco ... There's a reason people don't want to live in Democrat states and towns
Ah, that explains why real-estate prices have been going down in Seattle and San Francisco. Oh, wait ...

Scrolling down the NYT and WAPO Twitter timeline... I see : Opinion, Opinion, Opinion, Perspective, Why X is Y, Opinion, Opinion, Perspective...
I think I found the issue with "Journalism".
You do know the Twitter timeline is curated based on what you engage with? What does this tell us about what you engage with on Twitter?
And yes, the vast majority of today's wealthy are in fact leftist.
HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!! Oh man, that was a good one.
We could make Mars Earthlike
How about instead we make Earth Earthlike and save the trip?
Wish I had mod points. Well done.
