He's technically correct. We all know that's the best kind of correct.
This is what Ray Morris said: "In all that time, I've never seen a site move cause a week of down time unless people just kept making mistake after mistake after mistake." This is what you said: "He claims to know exactly what went wrong..."
From my outside observation of the situation, the migration team had to have made mistake after mistake to have the site down for close to 4 days? So, technically he was correct in the fact that there was mistakes rolling around. Or else we would not be having this conversation. Anybody who has worked with servers for any length of time knows that there is more than one way to kill an angry cat. The hard part is killing the angry cat.
That's ok, I was so lost I actually did work while I was at work. And then spent time with my wife.. She didn't know what to think, I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm dying..
To be fair with what the troll above you said, it has analog out. I'm an Electrician/Low Voltage Tech, I've installed a lot of TV's in my time. Most of the new ones, and damn sure higher end ones do not support analog functions. You will be lucky to find a TV with a tuner in it anymore. And lets face it anybody shelling out the money for an Apple TV or actually using the app store to purchase shit, is not going to be worried about buying a better model for more and better resolutions. Plus they could do for a new TV to have installed by some schmuck like me to keep the monies flowing.
Whereas, if they let you copy the DVD/BluRay then I would assume someone could find a way to copy it an unlimited number of times.
Im rather sure he is referring to the fact that anybody with a computer and compatible optical drive could do that, regardless of what disney or anybody says. It is not illegal to make a digital copy of something you own as a backup afaik, so long as you dont share it. Their encryption has been broken for some time. You can take any BD or DVD with a few free programs make perfect copies in multiple formats to be played on any device you can imagine.
Honestly I don't know my iphone is jailbroken, and setup how I want it for the last year or so, So you know.. Don't break whats not meant to be fixed right?
Hopefully somebody will get a jailbreak working(I haven't paid attention to the latest phones much) and then an independent developer like someone on slashdot will create a tweak to enable that, which will get back to apple eventually like many others have and be implemented. I don't like all the glass on it for one. If you get a good protective case for it, you don't see it anyways.
Unfortunately to get the full effect of that you have to jailbreak iphones, I own one and love it. But its jailbroken, not an iphone x though. I like my headphone jack.
The problem with Everyone owns a gun, and is always at the ready and willing to kill anyone who disagrees with them is that yes Virginia, there are nuts in this world, and yeah some of them are actually interested and looking forward to end other people's lives. And even more so, they intended to evade justice by killing themselves. This latest second amendment party is unusual in that the patriot didn't intend to kill himself after expressing his freedom.
Every reply I have gotten to this post seems to reply with an argument basically saying that "bad" people cant get guns and if my mandated "everybody carry" law were in effect they would all of a sudden have a gun. I never said "implied "fuck with me and you're dead" approach.". Its more of an implied "think before you do something stupid" law.
I don't own a firearm, the man says I'm not allowed to(felon and all). BUT believe me, and I have changed my ways I do nothing illegal but smoke weed(legal in my state) and I no longer associate with the people I once did. back to the BUT! Say I wanted to kill my neighbor, chances are I wouldn't need a gun.. However I could go get one rather cheap, without any sort of background check or anything within a few hours. So disarming law abiding citizens is a criminals wet dream, you're talking to a former criminal. Guns are very easy to get no matter the place you live.
Fun Fact: The states with the harshest gun laws are often the easiest place to buy guns for criminals.
I hope this pours some insight from the other side of the fence onto you. I really wish people would stop assuming if we outlawed guns, or even fully automatic(illegal in most places without special permitting) they would "disappear". Semiautomatic weapons are very easy to turn full auto. and surprisingly most of the guns gang members use that are full auto, weren't manufactured that way.
If you're going to shoot your neighbor for kicking your dog, you have mental issues. And I can understand kicking his ass, but not shooting him. Now the way to combat your train of thought, lets reverse your dream. Lets say everybody is mandated to CARRY a gun. Now neighbor kicks dog, owner thinks... I could just kick his ass, or I could pull out my gun.. Oh wait he has a gun too, now I also chance losing my life and the life of my loved ones. I think I'll go have a talk with my neighbor about why its not good to kick dogs.
I don't so much say cut spending, but I do believe we should either charge the other nations or stop helping them in time of crisis. That would significantly cut spending.
I'm not even old, but been into electronics long enough, that when I read that I thought exactly the same thing(He would have said EE/EPROM had he meant it) If this was not already +5 insightful, I would have added one.
Blocking ads stops a lot of that, and with the way ads have become malicious, and high security risk exploits able to be ran from JS, i would expect everybody have a decent adblocker by now...
Either you're intentionally lying, or you have such rose colored glasses on that I doubt you think anybody is corrupt. Unless of course you have been told to dislike somebody by somebody else.

Probably high school kids, and a few super nerds that find gold diggers. Other than that you have a valid point.

Still upset you missed out on the train eh?

This man has a point.
So you're the bubble boy?
Never had a flu shot since I can remember, never had the flu.

Retropi.. you literally had the words next to eachother.. But still fun system.

Not nearing the size you're suggesting. Even with all of the functionality that some malicious files have, they're still only megabytes large at most.
Spectre is harder to exploit you're correct. Meltdown however is way more dangerous and not hard at all to implement. Heres some PoC links for you to look through.

That was from a 5 second google search. I have only tested the top one myself but I know it works.
Pfft you haven't been been around here long have you?
