"You have to either find referrers/reviewers that you can trust (this takes a lot of work, but it is your responsibility, as hard as it may be) and/or you have try lots of things out, and find wheat in the chaff."
This actually isn't that hard at all. Goodreads makes it really easy to find new stuff to read based on the opinions of people who share similar tastes in books.
Oh honey, I'm not a puppy of either stripe, I just enjoy watching them upset a bunch of tight-arses. As for Ms. Quinn, I expect to have a sensible chuckle in the unlikely event that Mr. Tingle actually wins and has her accept his award.
BTW, has it ever occurred to you that what really fuels the anti-SJW movement is you guys insisting on labeling anyone who disagrees with you as creeps, harassers, neckbeards, racists, man-children, bigots, misogynerds, etc. when 99% of the time the targets of your rage are in fact not those things? The gamergaters didn't get set off by a woman daring to whatever she did, but by the flood of stereotyping attack articles pushed by gamejournopros.
I find it awfully interesting how the article claims the various puppies "push against the growing numbers of women and people of color appearing on award ballots", and yet after the puppies dominated the voting 2/5 of the Hugo best novel nominees are women. (possibly 3/5, N.K. Jemisin doesn't indicate a gender)
As for people of color, I'm just gonna toss out a guess that Nnedi Okorafor, CHEAH Kai Wai, Ken Liu, Juan Tabo, Asaf Hanuka,and Tomer Hanuka are probably not WASPs.
I personally laud the inclusion of Space Raptor Butt Invasion over more agenda pushing drivel.
I once tried to get an under warranty HP laptop repaired. HP support refused to honor the warranty until I contacted the folks at The Consumerist and threatened media exposure. I've had better interactions with the freakin IRS.
Meh, I'm not worried about the news quality, it's the comment quality that's gone downhill. Advertisements for the KKK, Mr Haiku about gay sex up above in these very comments, spam of various sorts. How hard is it to have 3 people keep an eye on the -1 comments and delete the spam shit every 15 minutes or so. 3 people at minimum wage can cover a full 24 hour cycle.
I've made several cheats (mostly using cheat engine, because it's a fine program) but that doesn't mean I cheat in everything, nor that I cheat in games vs other people. It's quite possible that he feels, as I do, that not winning a match through one's own skill is not winning at all. There's no fun in shit-talking a friend about kicking their ass when you don't legitimately kick it.
Nah man, even if just a small amount of nanotubes escape, they can cause similar effects to asbestos (another microscopic fiber), http://www.mesothelioma.com/me... The source they link is a dead link, so have this from the CDC instead http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/...
There's nothing wrong with being careful and thinking ahead, and there's evidence that nanotubes, while potentially very useful, are definitely a hazardous material that we shouldn't be using willy nilly.
He is an imaginative guy but more than a little sexist and a huge meat eater apparently
How is that relevant? Orson Scott card is a fuckin nutter, and that doesn't make Ender's Game any more or less good. Even L Ron wrote some good shit, and it's not made better or worse by the blight he left upon the world via Scientology.
May I assume you are one of those folks that believe in the infallibility of Linux? There is already ransomware for Linux, although to the best of my knowledge most of it is in the form of a trojan, and not something that can run by itself or abuses privilege escalation.
I use Linux for my daily driver, and thanks to Win 10s privacy shenanigans don't plan to ever go back, but that doesn't mean the shit's perfect. Hell, given the prevalence of linux in the web infrastructure, I could see linux ransomware having a serious boom soon. Corporations can pay a lot higher ransom than your average Joe.
As for home linux ransomware, you can bet your sweet ass-meat that SteamOS will be a tempting target. Make individual customers pay up to get their machines working again, and then make Valve pay up to get you to release the rest that refused to pay in order to preserve their reputation.
DING DING DING, we have a winner!. Copyright has made us lose more shit than it ever helped provide. I'd personally like to murder the people responsible for me not being able to see all of Buster Keaton's movies. Anymore I think a copyright of over 10 years is excessive, and we need an automatic exception for any archival efforts.
You know, as a recent convert to FULL Linux with no Windows backup (Win 10 was the breaking point), I really wanna be that guy telling you to convert. However, PuTTy is good stuff. Combine it with XMing and X11 forwarding and you can rock a remote linux box on windows pretty well. I ran my home server for several years using PuTTy and Xming.
For serious terminal work, I'll open whatever my distro provides. My linux-fu is weak, but I see no major difference between most terminals.
My main exception is having a dropdown terminal in the style of Guake/Yakuake. I still use a standard terminal for serious work, but for quickie commands, a dropdown terminal with a keyboard shortcut is a major time saver. I especially love it for Xkill. I don't like needing to use xkill ever, but when shit goes fucky, it's a godsend. Window froze? ctrl-F12, xkill, click.
I've found that, when a game has a linux version, the lower overhead of linux vs windows often results in better performance. It's by no means surefire, but it happens reasonably often. And I have an ATI card with the supposedly shitty ATI linux drivers.
Nah man, you still need to have someone that does the actual work. FOSS doesn't make magical code fairies fly out of my ass when I fart, it just makes everyone who wants to contribute equally able to, and makes those contributions easily spreadable to other projects. That's a big advantage over proprietary software, BUT, proprietary software has advantages of its own, such as captive ecosystems and sizable monetary backing.

If by "angry white guy" you mean obvious Hillary shill, then I agree.
You've clearly missed the point. The root cause of all evil is having beings that can commit it. Ban life.

I do believe that's a misspelling of dissenting.
I'm more worried about the name "Monster Boost" itself. How the hell are we going to affords the trademark lawsuits from monster cables?
No tmux or screen yet is a bummer, but that's still damned interesting.
I always heard it as "broken clock" myself.
Thank you captain fucking obvious. Some gun deaths are desirable.
Nah, They'll save that for the 4th of July, because enabling telemetry and violating your rights is the patriotic thing to do.
Your country's silly distinctions between various types of IP threaten my potential profits. Prepare for ISDS.
Hey, that's not fair! There's a whole other party full of fascists and authoritarians to choose from too!

Per civilian? That sounds about right.
