The problem is that if you don't allow existing companies to hire employees in lower cost areas then they will eventually go out of business when their new competitors open shop in the lower cost area and offers a cheaper product.
"Lower cost areas" which is double-speak for "right-to-work states", where unions are much less powerful....
Most streamers use a separate streaming PC that captures the video output from the gaming PC as well as receiving audio and displaying the overlays onscreen. Probably the case here.
After looking at the video, it appeared to me that the streamer ALREADY had Windows 10. This was just an update (note the screen said "Installing updates FOR Windows 10).
In my experience, the update doesn't kick off automatically unless you have hit the "snooze" button (told Windows to wait) a few times over several days. Windows then just says "Fuck it" and installs anyway. Usually right when you are in the middle of something.
I'm not defending the practice. It sucks in my book, but that has been my experience.
Viewers can subscribe to streamers for $5 a month. Part of which goes to the streamer. Subscribing gets you custom emotes and higher priviledges and perks on the site and elsewhere.
Most of these streamers also post content on Youtube. If the subscribed numbers get high enough, they can make a pretty penny from Youtube videos.
Didn't Microsoft try this years ago with Microsoft Bob? Big portal, just click on different parts of the room to access certain functions..... we know how that went over.....yawn.
What I don't get is how a human issues 500 commands in a minute? That's more than 8 per second? What kind of commands are we talking about here? It's been a while since I last played Starcraft, I remember most stuff was mouse based except for some shortcut keys, how do you move the mouse so fast? Any good videos to see these guys in action?
Watch them play on Twitch.tv. The players go pretty fast and can't even follow what they are doing.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - horror/fiction writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details yet. I'm sure we'll all miss him, even if you weren't a fan of his work there's no denying his contribution to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
Where did you get this info? Nothing mentioned anywhere else. The wrestler Chyna and Prince are the only folks I am aware of that passed away today.
"Insults are the first refuge of the insecure" - not necessarily. When I'm the one who has to clean up someone's else fucked-up shit - AGAIN, I'm not always going to be nice about. Especially when they're doing it THE WRONG FUCKING WAY. Again, for the 10th time, when they've been told how NOT to do it.
Careful, someone who doesn't take kindly to those remarks might want to have a private meeting with you in the parking lot, kicking the shit out of you.
Use lasers to cut the aliens planet in half. Shoot first, ask questions later. Send space archeologists to figure out if they were naughty or nice. Better safe than sorry.
The Alan Parson's Project laser would probably work just fine..
Referring back to the spelling and assholes article last week, here is what pisses me off about people that should KNOW how to spell when producing content.
This is the caption from the video linked via the Slashdot description...
"On April 3, 1996 Ted Kaczinsky's rain of terror came to an end. Former FBI agent Max Noel, who helped in the Unabomber's arrest, says what Kaczynski did was "pure evil." (April 2, 2016)"
The only exception to what I posted earlier is when someone posts run-on sentences with no punctuation and no capital letters it is super annoying when someone doesn't punctuate and they just ramble on and on the other day i saw a post here on slashdot that did the exact thing i absolutely hate that it just really pisses me off i would like to come face to face with someone like that and just beat them to a pulp see how annoying this style of writing is??
I usually don't have an issue with spelling when folks are posting on blogs or FB. What gets my goat is when journalists and other 'professional' writers misspell stuff.
Most word processors and even the Comment editing box here on/. highlights misspelled words with a red squiggly underline so there should be no excuse for people that write for a living to misspell anything.
"How can hospitals guard themselves against these attacks"
They could, as a start, keep the medical (patient records, diagnostic, monitoring, etc.) networks segregated from each other, and especially from the Internet. But that would prevent staff from checking the Bookface, so it wouldn't go over well.
You enforce blocking of "Bookface" since it is non-work related. You try to access site and you get

We do that in my organization and works pretty well....
cruse missiles aimed at who? or are you advocating yet another shoot first ask questions later strategy. as in many usa foreign policy disasters and defeats.
Has worked for us in the past;) IMO, a visit by Seal Team 6 with a road trip to Gitmo included would be nice.
I abolutely agree with the above... We don't need our freedom to be restricted because of occasional terrorist attacks. If we allow that then they win, we lose. And as stated above, a lot more people die on the road each day, and nobody cares..
Horse Shit......if this happened to you or a loved one of yours, you would lawyer up in a heartbeat and sue anyone and everyone associated with that airport or subway. Your lawyer would be bitching "They should have been more thorough, they should have done this, they should have done that....bla bla bla"..

There must be some effort. They outlawed them in Arkansas. A bunch shut down right away around my town after that law was passed.

No you'll be modded down because its an idiotic question to ask, not mention flamebait.
Judging by the responses in this thread, the troll made a good catch today......

And no references to The Matrix: Reloaded.
Ayn Rand, much?
The funny thing is she had to go onto government assistance in her later years because she could no longer support herself.

Whole-heartedly agree. Where is my mod points when I need them?

Prince died as well.... :(
Woot! Can't wait for the Borg nanoprobes! Resistance is futile..
Pretty sure your options are "spam", "spam, spam, and spam", or "spam, spam spam, WiFi, spam, and spam"
But that's got spam in it!

Ummmm.....I thought the first stage of Saturn V burned kerosene and LOX. Second and third stages burned liquid hydrogen and oxygen.

Another .02 cents...

Better yet, give them blindfolds and cigarettes and tell them to line up over by that big brick wall...
Can't someone kill this zombie process
I wonder if wooden stakes and holy water would work?
