But you would prefer to just ignore the women for whom it was non-consensual, right? Unlike this case, both sides had their day in court long ago. Bill settled it out of court after a number of adverse actions, including the one that got Bill disbarred.
> I know, I know, they cleverly hid it behind the first link in the story.
Claiming you have proof is not the same as actually showing it to us. It's perfectly reasonable for us, who haven't seen these screenshots, to withhold judgement until either we see them or she wins the court case.
There's no prize for being the first person to judge someone. The word 'prejudice' literally means judging someone beforehand.
Why can't we wait for all the evidence to come out in court before we condemn someone or make up our minds? I will hold no position either way and will let the courts judge this. She can show the proof to them and they can judge this, there's no need for any of us to pre-judge this.
I won't make any claims about who, but it's definitely organized. I watched a post on another story go down from +5 last night to a bunch of overrated all in a row.
> Then again I really can't see how dumps could screw this up
Some dumpers added logos and other crap, others added trainers. Some just plain got a bad dump and screwed up some graphics which may or may not have any major impact on the game. Really, there are lots of stupid things that can go wrong. In the post I linked earlier, byuu describes some of the bad dumps he found.
> It'd start by realizing that you don't have proof of a conspiracy or anything.
Except for those arrest records from the DC Metropolitan Police Department for Conspiracy to Commit an Assault -
Friday, January 20, 2017
The Metropolitan Police Department announced an arrest has been made in a Conspiracy to Commit an Assault offense that occurred in the 500 block of 14th Street, Northwest. After a thorough investigation, it was determined that several individuals made plans to disrupt inauguration activities in an unlawful way.
> So what? Even if the evidence is right all it means is someone who is passionate about politics to work for a PAC is also passionate enough to engage in underhanded tactics.
Let me get this straight. It appears that you admit that they perform underhanded tactics. And that they're on video discussing the underhanded tactics. And that they were actually caught, on independent videos already linked. But you think the video is "out of context" despite it showing them doing the underhanded things they said they'd do?
> As I said, even if your evidence is true, it's irrelevant.
So what of the butyric acid thing, for which I can point you to actual, criminal arrests records that were the result of the DC police's investigation. How can that be "irrelevant"? We have them on video plotting that. And we have an arrest as a result of an independent police investigation.
What more do you want, exactly? A signed confession? You can only stick your head in the sand so far, man.
I don't really think the gamergate thing was a "joke" either, but whatever, there certainly were a lot of lies in the media. And it's true that people don't respond to the 5 minute hates like they used to. The people using them as a means of social control are losing power and that terrifies them.
> Pewdiepie as social commentary. This is why nobody takes you seriously.
Social commentary is something people do, it's not something people are. The fact that you think he can't or didn't do that just proves that you didn't watch the video. I asked you that, and you failed to answer.
> You are welcome to pull your sponsorship of my posts.
If you want this to be apples to apples, we need to send your employer a packet of everything you've said taken out of context and pressure them to fire you. You try to ignore that part every time. Then again, you'd have to still be employed for that, no? Relax, I'm not as sleazy as those three WSJ employees.
Around here, though, it seems you've managed to convince more than a few people that you're a racist based on the comments I saw. Might want to stop saying so many bigoted things?
Byuu has more detailed knowledge of the hardware quirks and is able to get more accurate dumps because he understands how the memory is mapped at a low level. His custom rig has already found several bad dumps that previously thought to be good.
> Who knew that Pewdiepie required so much context?
He literally made a video about how the media would frame someone as a racist and those were examples shown. Apparently we can't even talk about Nazis now? Is the History Channel racist now, too? They showed Hitler videos! Who cares about *context* or what their message was? Images matter! Threaten all their sponsors! The History Channel must not be normalized! That promotes racism!
If we're going to stipulate for this argument that context doesn't matter, then it's really easy to cast you as a closet racist via your own Slashdot history. Have you forgotten your own sarcastic posts? We don't care about context now, so we have to take all your statements at face value. And even if you tried, wouldn't we just ask why you thought it was funny to joke about being racist? You don't seem to get just how high you can be hoisted on your own petard here. We remember your own damn words, which you can't delete, on this very site.
So tell us, why do you hate Asians, again? Maybe you picked that up from your father after his WWII service? You seem to have a particular hatred for white people who like Japanese culture, too. What other types of racial mixing are you against?
Remember those "jokes" you posted that got tagged as Flamebait? You told us not to care about context, that the images matter. So nobody's going if you claim you were joking or being sarcastic. You just told us that's how it works. So even if you think that context is a defense for you alone, we'll just ask why you thought being racist was funny.
We're perfectly aware of how bad optics work, Ratzo, you're not enlightening anyone there. How else could we apply your own standards to your own posts?
He's doing more than just dumping the ROMs, he's been photographing the carts and scanning the manuals as well as part of his preservation project. He has a custom rig for dumping that knows more about some obscure hardware quirks of how it does addressing to properly map out the ROMs.
First, there are many revisions of games that are undiscovered. Upon dumping my USA collection, I found two new game revisions. One for "The Death and Return of Superman", and one for "Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball."
What is a revision? Sometimes a game publisher will release a game, and then discover a serious bug in the game and will fix it. They then release new cartridges, but these are not labeled. You often can't tell which revision you have unless you take the game apart and read the serial numbers off of the ROM chips.
Second, there are bad dumps out there. There are many reasons for these. One is that games were often patched to remove anti-copier protections. These often do serious things like slow games down by up to 25% of their original speed (though usually it's not that drastic), because the oldest copiers did not have RAM with fast access speeds inside of them. Another is that due to the use of floppy disks, bits would get flipped occasionally. The third would be from older piracy groups adding "trainers" (advertisements upon booting the game, often with the ability to apply cheats to the game from an onscreen menu), and sometimes people would remove these trainers rather than redumping the games. The fourth would be header changes to make games run in emulators with poor heuristics. And the fifth and least likely would be malicious changes: people putting their names into the game images for bragging rights. Most notably here would be Diskdude and Vimm's Lair.
In the first batch of 100 PAL games I dumped, I found two games with bit corruption. The first was Spider-Man & Venom, where the main Spider-Man sprite was partially corrupted. The second was Fatal Fury 2, where one of the fighter sprite frames was partially corrupted. What's so damning about this is that both of these games were marked as "verified" in GoodSNES, which for many was considered a gold standard that the games were 100% bit-perfect copies.
A friend, KingMike, has found a half-dozen bad dumps of Japanese games from his own collection so far.
It's important to note that the USA set is easily the most dumped set there is. The PAL and Japan sets are not dumped nearly as often. Dumping the PAL set is thus of great importance.
Because when the PV videos on staging violence came out, we found evidence that Zulema Rodriguez was employed by MoveOn to be in Arizona, we have a video of her blocking the road and lying to cops, and that corroborates the video? It's something I've covered in great detail previously if you want full links & citations for every item that was corroborated in their "bird-dogging" campaign.
Because when he warned us that people planned to attack the Deploraball with butyric acid (essentially a stink bomb that can cause people to choke, potentially causing an uncontrolled evacuation into a mass of protesters), we found arrest records on the DC police site saying one of the conspirators was arrested for conspiracy to commit assault? I've also seen reports that, since that older report, they caught the other individuals involved in the conspiracy.
As for this phone thing, I'll wait to see proof, rather than just rumors. Couldn't they even find so much as a photo of Trump with this phone? Yes, Trump should know better than to use an unsecured phone after what happened to Hillary, but I am going to withhold judgement until there's some kind of proof and not just rumors.
> That's a joke? Are you into bumfighting videos too? Do you find conflict diamonds hilarious?
It's a fair criticism of a commercial service (Fiverr) if they offer that service, is it not?
It would also be fair to criticize anyone selling conflict diamonds (*cough*DeBeers*cough*) or bumfighting videos (want to take a bet on whether YouTube has ever had one uploaded or played ads on one?). Funny, I'm pretty sure I've complained about both of those companies in the past on Slashdot... Instead we have the WSJ taking clips out of context from his video on how the media takes things out of context (!!!) and sending them to his sponsor to get him terminated, along with a coordinated media campaign.
But you don't want to talk about that part, right? You'll just say that they're free not to serve people they dislike....
It's funny that you make accusations of racism while, without evidence, assuming that these people must not know things because of their skin color and where they live.
Even if we suppose, without evidence, they didn't know what a Jew was, could they not figure out 'death'? Could they not look things up? Or maybe just run Google translate on the request if they don't know that much English?
> Except that's not what happened at all. He paid them to say words that they had no understanding of.
Can you explain to me what gave you that impression when he wrote an English request on an English website regarding an offering that was posted there in English?
Because you can clearly read the request in English right at the start of this video (the original is dead now). And you can see their request. In English.
While you're at it, would you explain why you seem to have assumed that these people don't understand English? Because that sounds like a pretty mean thing to assume about some random brown kids, but hey, I'm willing to at least listen to your explanation.
> You think it makes it better because he paid someone else to make jokes about killing Jews?
It's because he was using it as an example of something terrible. That's the joke: people will do something terrible for $5. That means that he thinks telling Jews to die is terrible. Which it is.
It doesn't matter if he's a neo-nazi. He put some shit on his little web video and now nobody wants to advertise with him. He made a choice. They made a choice.
Free market at work.
I'll agree that what Pewdiepie did was crass and tasteless, but I would think that his apology (which he gave in that very video...) would cover it.
Speaking of which, you yourself have used more than a few crass racial stereotypes right here on Slashdot. Would you think it was fair if all the newspapers tomorrow were calling you a closet racist and calling on people to shun you. I seem to remember you making satirical statements pretending to be racist as well, but I won't quote you out of context to make a point (a courtesy, I note, that was not extended to Pewdiepie, when in a fit of irony they used "examples" from his video about taking things out of context out of context).
So I have to ask, will you answer for your own crass racial stereotypes before you throw stones at another?
Slashdot Mirror
The consensual sex only came to light because of the sexual harassment that Bill settled. Bill was disbarred for not telling the whole truth about having sex with underlings when they were discussing whether Bill expected to get sex from his interns as part of the discussion of whether he had created a hostile workplace.

Fair enough, it was pretty far upthread and I seem to have been modbombed--it hit +5 before others came back to mod it down overnight.
Every jurisdiction has stuff like that on occasion. Come back to me if they win *this* lawsuit.
