I have never heard of Giant Spacekat until now. Looking at their first game, it looks pretty terrible. But it is a first game, so I'll give them that.
I don't know much about this particular person's role in Gamergate, but I think the whole thing was asinine. It failed to understand market demand and the industry surrounding gaming and entertainment in general.
Also, it's interesting all these people are deciding it's now time to do something since Trump was elected. Were the eight years of predator drone bombing not enough? Was the ten plus years of warrant-less spying not enough? Was the endless war not enough? Keep in mind everything that is happening now, is happening under the Obama administration.
Clinton and Trump were equally corrupt. Basing your decision to participate in the system now shows you've totally ignored the reality of what America does on a daily basis to destroy other nations to give the west our current standard of living.
New Zealand had a very similar law. I had a company refuse to warranty a Nexus 4. First I could get only text/voice and no data and then the Wi-Fi went out. Then it stopped booting. It was a clear hardware failure. I put the stock rom on but forgot to relock the bootloader. They refused saying I damaged the phone by unlocking it.
I had to go to court and argue with the incompetent, non-technical idiot they company sent. The arbitrator awarded me the $450. I'm not even sure of the three hours in court were wroth it. But I'm very glad the NZ consumer guarantee act exists. The US needs similar laws.
I too was impressed by what I've seen. I don't like the idea of monolithic apps that we see in MacOS and even with newer Linux package managers like Snappy. They seem to have combined both single application folders while also not repeating dependencies. The symbolic linking looks a bit messy, but so long as they have good tooling around it, it could be really beneficial. Their Current links seem to take the place of eselect in Gentoo or etc-alternatives in Debian/Ubuntu.
I might give this OS a shot. I recently tried Void Linux on my custom router and am very impressed by it and its use of the runit init system:
There is a lot of really interesting research in this field. The real headline I hope to read one day, hopefully not too far into the distant future, is one that states scientists have found a way to hold the plasma for over an hour.
They left an account open for him after he left. He should have just taken a copy before he left, or not even bothered with cleaning up the logs (they obviously would have taken the time to notice).
I don't think the punishment fits the crime here through. A few years in jail for being an idiot. It also kills any chance of employment later with that criminal record. It sounds like a shitty ISP anyway.
The reality is, code is the collective memory of a programmer. Most software devs always keep copies of their work, usually not to resell or reuse (you can't and shouldn't, unless you're an idiot and want to end up like this guy), but more as a reference (How did I do that? I had an example somewhere).
It is night and day; even on small screens. If you do a lot of photography work and have a camera that captures over 4000x?, it's really amazing. I love being able to pull up photos in Lightroom and see the entire image in fullscreen without scaling. They're really amazing:
We've always had one party. The Repubcrats and the Demolicans. The same people fund both of them. I don't see why everyone's upset. Obama bombed the fuck out of people, expanded predator drones, bombed some weddings, bombed funerals for those weddings, killed US citizens overseas without trials and passed Romney care which, although helping the poorest get something resembling crappy healthcare, has pretty much tied the middle class to the same shitty system they had before, except prices went up.
Trump is no better or worse than Hillary, or even Sanders for that matter (did people not hear him say he wanted to arm Jordanians? Did people forget he voted yes to make provisions of the patriot act permanent? Did we...did we watch the same debate?)
The last president that tried to change things in a meaningful way was shot to death in Dallas. Everyone else has been a puppet.
I hope it succeeded personally. There are a lot of naysayers and this would totally shut them up. It'll be a good two decades at least though before it's in production.
You can be a software engineer/network admin/dev-ops person without ever working a help desk job. The only reason I worked one for a year was because my dad wanted me to work at the same shitty company he wasted 18 years of his life at. I went from a real development and sys admin job to a helpdesk internship (I was in grad school so they let me in; made more than all the other interns at least by $2/hour since it was by years in school).
It wasn't all bad. I could cut down to 20 ~ 30 hours when grad school got really busy, and I could work on papers and ready books between calls. I made it one year and then went back to a real dev position.
I do think it's good to work helpdesk for a year. I feel like I have an appreciate on the shit they have to deal with.
Voting is the peasants suggestion box. Remember that when you Americans vote for the puppet on the left or the puppet on the right; both of which are part of the 1%, will continue to launch predator drones on brown people, will continue to use the CIA to start secrete illegal wars and will continue to spend more than the next eight highest defense spending countries combined to continue to fight more war war war.
Voting is symbolic, even is seemingly free representational democracies/republics.
So much Apple spam when these announcements come out. You don't see this about any other product line. Apple has manufactured a fucking culture around their products. That's why their company pulls in billions.
Apple has removed all GPLv3 applications from their OS and have even downgraded some apps to super old versions so they can use the GPLv2 version. I did a post about this and other OSS licenses a while back:
There is an increasing amount of evidence that Snowden still works for the CIA. He's the only one including this guy and Manning, who hasn't been caught (which just feels super suspicious.. that combined with him criticizing Russia on Twitter.. while in Russia.. supposedly).
I don't think the Snowden story is real. I think it's most likely propaganda. And if that's fake, who is to say there is any legitimacy to this story either?
We live in 1984, just less totalitarian and more Brave New World (with all the good parts gone). We think we're free and have free media, but it's all propaganda. Want to prove it? Right now you think I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist nutbag. See: totally works. All dissenting opinions are made by tin foil hatters.
And you know what, we have no idea if this guy even is the ShadowBrokeer. All the "evidence" is totally classified for national security purposes. This guy might totally be railroaded. Hell, this guy may not even exist! This might be a whole media campaign just to keep the fear going. We really have no fucking idea.

So what happens when you lose one of these things? Do you have to wait a week for a new one to arrive in the mail to access any of your accounts?
Well you can still play it if you bought it previously. You just can't sync your save data.

Yea; a lot wrong about this.

Wait ... so they're just starting up Google Latitude again and giving it a new name?

YES! I own a 4k MSI laptop and can totally tell a difference with 4k. I can even use that laptop to power a 4k DCI display:

Exactly. Commercial interests do this all the god damn time and never face criminal prosecution.
He should have been rich to start with. Then he could rig the market legally. They went after him because they hate competition.

but...it's always been that way, with all the previous Apple products too.
Their fucking phones are the old smart phones on the market that don't use a USB standard.
You should talk to a lawyer if you saw something, and have them deliver your message to the police. Yes, being a good citizen can cost you money.
Here are several reasons why:

Umm...are you sure? I saw this girl talk in Las Vegas a few months ago at Defcon. This isn't new. This is a known exploit.
We have no idea. There's very little data at all on how the Stingray actually works. That's one of the big issues with it.
