99% of movies has the same schema portrayed in various backdrops & settings, you have a protagonist battling an antagonist over either a princess or a treasure...
And so it is with every single story retold since the spoken word. How sad to be you... you couldn't even entertain yourself with a good book with that attitude. Or maybe your problem is less the schema and more the Action:Plot:Character ratio, which for the last 2 to 3 decades has been leaning a bit too heavy on the action side and rather light on plot and character. Then there's the fact that everything coming out Hollywood now has to be Dark and Gritty(tm)...which doesn't surprise me so much considering where the bulk of today's blockbuster directors are coming from age wise (the grunge era leading into emo).
You're missing the whole point! This is one big Retro-Nintendo Package! Not only are they giving you the games from 30 years ago in a package that looks similar to the device put out 30 years ago; but they're using the sales tactics from 30 years ago too! Make just enough to whet the appetite to create a super Christmas Hype Balloon where every kid screams "I want one of THESE for Christmas! Nothing else will ever get you my love and acceptance!" but not enough to actually supply that demand..and then grab some popcorn and watch the chaos of the Consumer Gladiator Games on the CCTV at Walmarts and hobby shops around the globe! Single units being scalped for $1000's! Fist fights! Dogs and cats living together! Mass Hysteria!
Unfortunately for Nintendo, from what I'm witnessing the consumer climate is a whole lot cooler than it was 30 years ago with regards to these tactics. While it's true that I've seen and heard some instances of these units going for a couple hundred, I've also seen a lot of people just go "meh...not worth it." People that would normally be jumping all over this sort of thing. 200K units? Nothing to sneeze at...but nothing to write home about either. This thing is just likely to fizzle completely out by the time the Holiday Hype is done with a hugely missed opportunity for N to really rack up.
Of course we haven't figured it out. Too many goddamn hippies tell us that we need to preserve the pristine nature of the area... so we made it a park and forbid any serious effort to try to poke around at it and make any useful headway.
Then you have morons like the guy on scienceforums.net that says "The idea is like trying to put a pin into a balloon to let just a bit of the air out." Idiot doesn't realize that there is a way to do just that. Put a piece of tape on the balloon; poke a hollow needle coupled with a valve into balloon through the tape; have as much control as the valve allows to let the air out slowly without bursting the balloon. Using science it'd be easy enough to figure out a method to tap the volcano and bring it under control for man's usage in much the same way.
There's all this talk of making America great again as a leader in business and scientific innovation, but it just isn't going to happen until we get over this fear of death and killing thing going on right now. You can't make a damn omelette without breaking a few eggs. Likewise you can't make meaningful progress without killing a few people in experimental ways. Case in point, how many test pilots died as we tried to figure out how to get into space? How many people died from the effects of radiation exposure and gave us a better understanding of nuclear technology from it? How many people died in the construction of the various skyscrapers that dot the oldest American cities? True progress can't happen without the deaths to learn from.
FTA: The Researchers first met with PwC in August about this vulnerability. The Advisory was released December 7th. September...October...November... yep. That's three full months since the initial meeting with the only correspondence given by PwC is a series of C&Ds. Not even a "Please don't disclose this yet, we need more time to fix."... I only see this as PwC are the assholes in the equation. Also, second link in the summary is the full advisory without the need for contact info.
Translation: "We don't give a crap about the fact that your phones have the potential to spontaneously combust. Even though we're perfectly capable of performing a swap out of your phone and applying to Samsung to get the credit for the phone you swapped to, we're not going to do that, just because of the fact we are such a shitty company. So happy holidays from us here at Verizon, and we hope your fucking houses burn down you poor goddamn plebs! Hell, maybe it'll kill some of you assholes and we can finally get some new blood on our network that we need to oversell!"
How about those are all good reasons not to use the shit-storm that is Windows 10, but some of us don't need that much convincing so we just enumerate what's ultimately the deal killer.
It's never been the ability to run Linux programs on Windows that's kept me from moving to Windows 10, I can build just about any program designed for Linux to make use of Windows...perhaps with a bit of code fiddling depending on how ingrained Linux support was made. What keeps me from swapping to Windows 10 is the fucking back doors that MS wants to run by default....and the fact that Windows 7 still runs quite well inside the sandbox.
When a game starts feeling like work, I stop playing the game. One reason I hate achievement whoring. "Great, I've beat the story of the game and know all there is...let's go back and run this level over and over 300 times to get that achievement that requires just the right button pushes at just that immediate right time..." Had a roommate play Destiny that way... Just seeing the same areas over and over in passing was enough to turn me completely off even trying the game.
Yo Dawg! I heard you like Teslas, so we filled an MP3 player with Tesla's greatest hits, have its amp powered by a small Tesla coil, and connected that to a generator powered by the wheels of a Tesla Model S. So now you can drive your Tesla to drive the Tesla that drives the player that plays the Tesla with the driving beat!
Actually, while you're right about the state and local changes with final bindings... Electing the president isn't quite so straight forward. The short of the procedure for Presidential voting is that when we hit the polls, we're telling the Electoral College for our State/District what our personal vote is for who we want to have as our National Leader. Most of the time the College will place their voice in line with what the popular vote tells them... but they don't have to. There have been 4 times in American History when the Electoral Votes went against the Popular Vote; including the 2000 Election year when Bush held 271 Electoral College Votes to Gore's 266... but Gore had 540,000 more of the popular votes.
And on a more individual level, the college is directed to only treat the popular votes they receive as a strong suggestion of which way to vote for. It's entirely possible for an individual Electoral College member to be given the popular vote for one candidate, but decide to go against that suggestion and place its counter in for the opposite candidate.
The way my company does it for my team is we have a rotation where we each cycle on-call for 2 weeks where we're expected to remain within signal range of a cell tower and within 30 minutes of either being able to login to the VPN or travel to the office itself. As compensation, we get paid $25 / day (in addition to our regular salary) just for holding onto the phone... and then if there's ever an issue off-hours we get paid for the time taken to solve the issue. If it's one of those things where we just need to kick off a normally automated task and review the output of that task to see if it ran, we are allowed to log the entire time it took for the task to run in 1 hr intervals. As an example, we get alerted that a task didn't run for whatever reason. We can login, log our start time, kick off the task and set up whatever alert needs to be created to let us know it's completed, and logoff (note: we do not log the end time yet). If we get the alert 10 minutes later that the task completed, we login again; check the results; log our end time if the results look good, and logoff knowing we're getting paid for a full hour extra. If the task runs for 3hrs and 1 minute...we get paid for 4 hours.
This method has helped to keep the team morale high, and while we dread having the phone, we take comfort in knowing that the rotation will take about a quarter to quarter and a half to get back around to us again after we complete our round, and we'll get bonus pay that makes it more than worth it.
Though I like this package very much (for obvious reasons) it does go way above my expectations. Whenever I interview for a company I always ask if on-call will be a requirement and what their compensation is. If they don't at least pay extra for the periods when you're expected to carry the oc phone it's an automatic walk... the level of compensation given for when an event actually occurs is negotiable but I will usually require some kind of time-based comp. If they want to say they'll pay me an extra hour a day just for being on call and that serves as a credit towards any events that may occur that day..fine, I'll go with that. I suppose it could kinda screw me if something happens at 23:01 and it takes me until 00:57 to get it sorted, but events should be happening so infrequently that such a thing shouldn't be a heavy inconvenience.
And all this time I thought his parents just didn't know how to spell when in reality they were just providing a prophetic acronym trying to warn the world of his coming threat.
They provided the direct link to the apk file. Scroll down in the README.md displayed on the github link to the heading "Android GUI app" found here. The first line of the paragraph has the phrase "Android app" as a link to the drammer.apk file. You can use this to sideload onto your device and perform the check. They also tried to provide a link to the Google Play page for the app in that section of the doc, however it looks like Google disabled it as against the TOS (link now goes to a 404 page).
All that said, this is probably one of those apps you'll want to first read the source and see for yourself what it's doing, then install the Android NDK on a PC to compile it; from there sideload the apk you built. This way you can at least be a little more certain of the build to make sure that it only does exactly what the code says it should...instead of trusting someone else's build to not have any added features
Depends on state law. I remember when I lived in CT 20 years ago, the Insurance Agent made a point to state that under CT Law at the time while a thief is criminally liable for any damage done to persons/property in a vehicle they stole (they get to go to jail for it), the owner of the stolen vehicle is financially liable for all damage... so, in that case, we blame both.
Blue = Public and compulsory. AKA: Government run (VA Benefits, Medicare/Medicaid) is lumped in with the ACA: You HAVE to get private insurance, or we're going to use the IRS to fine you for thousands if you don't.
Memories can be used in the generation of fantasies. These fantasies can be used to move the memory model of a person forward. If the actual person is still alive, there's the possibility of being able to reconcile the fantastic model against the actual person (talk out the fantasy with that person to see if they'd react the way you think they would). If the actual person is not alive...then the model exists solely as a non-reconcilable construct within the mind of the person generating the fantasy.

Which is why I mentioned they should have put in an [sic] tag.
It's actually a direct quote from the article that way. As a direct cut and paste:
The X300 is no exception—like the X370, the X300 supports dual-channel DDR4 memory, PCIe 3.0, M.2 SATA devices, NVMe, and USB 3.1 Gen 1 and Gen 1.
