No his racism, are what makes him a racist. his conspiracy theories about "false rape accusations are what makes him a misogynist. Erik S. Raymond is the sort of Aspie who claims to have all sorts of expert skills. The Lazarus Long fanboyism went to his head. He's your typical libertarian-aspie internet crackpot asshat.
Marvel's Captain Marvel, on the other hand? A relative unknown. I had been peripherally aware that Marvel had someone by that name in their hero pantheon, but until recently I thought he was male.
Hand in your Nerd card. Carol Danvers became Captain Marvel (well Ms. Marvel), when she got zapped by the Kree Psyche Magnetron in 1977. The Kree "Captain Mar-Vell"... well he died, Carol then adopted his name to honor his memory.
Monica Rambeau (currently Spectrum) also used the name when Carol got depowered by Rogue just before she joined the X-Men.
All of that happened decades ago.
Sharon Ventura (altered human who got her powers during the Things UCWF storyline) and Kamala Khan (Inhuman ancestry, Inhumans are a Human derived species who are Kree experiments) have also used the name Ms. Marvel
Monica Rambeau is actually the SECOND female Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers (the character played by Brie Larson) is the first in 1977. Monica took on the name (but not the powers, her powers are different) when Carol got her powers permanently absorbed by Rogue of the Mystique-led Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Soon after that Rogue joined the X-men.
say "could expect" because often attempts are made to wash a character into something it's not. I suspect that this is an attempt to make a macho male character then replace "him" with a girl and declare the project complete.
Carol Danvers first became Captain Marvel in 1977, exposed to energies from the Kree Psyche-magnetron device.
Several other women have used that name in the Marvel universe. When Carol became depowered after an encounter with Rogue of the X-Men, Monica Rambeau (who currently goes by "Photon" IIRC....doublechecks...ah "Spectrum") took the name.
Sharon Ventura (given powers by Karl Malus in that UCWF storyline) was known as Ms. Marvel.
Then there's Kamala Khan (part Inhuman), who uses the Ms. Marvel alias currently.
The original Kree fellow was really named Mar-Vell.
Umm, Carol Danvers first became Captain Marvel in 1977. The Kree guy was Mar-Vell. (called Captain Marvel by humans). Carol got zapped by the Kree Psyche Magnetron. She later, in 80's got her powers permanently absorbed by Rogue. later, she became Binary. Can't remember when she lost her Binary powers and became Captain Marvel again.
"Ms. Marvel" is Sharon Ventura, who later became a "She-Thing"
If only there was a way to use e-mail as a group communication tool. To have a list of members of a group who's messages could be handled by a server as a group. Instead of sending an e-mail to the content creator directly. It would go something like this:
You'd get an email from a mailing list service about the new video. You could respond to that message with comments. Your e-mail would be sent to the whole group subscribed to the "list-service" and would be properly threaded.
We could call the whole thing something short and snappy like "list-serv"
He, like Richard Stallmann, is a misoginist and a hater. Did you *look* at the incivility posted by him in e-mails?
The word is "misogynist", and IMHO neither Stallmann or Torvalds is one. Oh sure, maybe they're not so good at communicating with people who aren't aspie coder-types, which could cause them problems with women (who tend to not be aspies) but haters? Most of the alt-right/libertarian types on Slashdot would consider ME an SJW and I'm wonder what drugs have you been doing.
Now, ESR, he's an actual misogynist.
Wide Screen is the way to go whether your writing software or editing video or using virtualmachines.
Why yes, but you're forgetting that some coders get set in their ways or stick to tradition. A bunch of people became coders in a 4:3 environment, so to them a 16:9 monitor has less "space" than the 4:3 because their workflow isn't designed to make good use of horizontal space, their workflow is designed around vertical space.
Heck they might not even think about putting applications side by side.
This'll doom channels that are specifically about audience participation, like "leave a comment about what you want me to do in my next video".
If only there was a way for viewers to send comments and suggestions directly to the content maker, like sending a letter in the mail. We could call it "electronic mail" People could have addresses where such "e-mail" could be sent.
All sarcasm aside, perhaps those youtube content creators overlooked how useful e-mail is in their haste to adopt social networking platforms.
You are confused by the fact there are two kind of game streaming.
One is people playing games and streaming their gameplay to youtube.
The other is companies, hosting game instances on high end servers and allowing people to play them remotely a la Playstation Now, and Google's recent experiment with Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
To me Flickr provides by far the best way to view photos - where I can see the photo really well, in as best a quality as possible - but at the same time also have quick access to see important EXIF data containing technical details about the photo. There's no-one that does this better than Flickr.
Yep, especially if you're Pro.
Flickr Groups are also quite useful, and Flickr handles comments better than most other sharing sites.
Flickr's also screenshot friendly, as long as you label/tag them as such, having originated in screenshot sharing tools created for a game.
I've been Pro since 2007, jumped to flickr from Picasa web albums IIRC which was nowhere near as polished as flickr was, even in 2007.
Yeah, if all someone wants to do is archive their phone photos, then Flickr isn't really for them. But if they like using a REAL camera, or are a serious user of the advanced screenshot tools in certain games/applications (Second LIfe users tend to be fond of Flickr)...then they might really like Flickr.
Exactly. Flickr's origin was as screenshot taking and screenshot sharing tools intended for Ludicorp's "Game Neverending". Turned out the tools were a more viable product.
Besides RL photography, Flickr is also popular with screenshotters/virtual photographers, especially with users of games/worlds that have extensive phototools. Examples being, Second Life, No Man's Sky, Elite and so forth. Flickr is screenshot friendly, they just want you to label and tag them as such.
Remember 15 years ago when you would turn off the console, put in the game, turn the console back on, and start playing?
Yes, and that is still the case now, for most console games. Say my internet goes down, I can still play all the Diablo, Skyrim, Minecraft I want. What I won't be able to do is play games with online multiplayer like MMO's, MMO-ish games, etc etc.
Generally no, at least similar issues don't on the PS3/PS4, except for games that require online connectivity: MMO's, mulitplayer shooters and the like.
Elite Dangerous can't be played offline, it requires connectivity because of how the ED economy/missions/factions work. Even if you want to play in Solo mode, the game still needs online access.
I hope eventually they'll include a true offline mode, but that's probably not a priority for FDev.
I play on PS4 and play rarely (though I do have the Thrustmaster t-flight HOTAS 4) so I don't have a ship capable of doing DW2. I thought about making the trip to Pallaeni to see them off, but it would have been almost 40 jumps in my lightly- upgraded-at-the-time Cobra. I should be able to welcome them back though.
nerds like video games, as they are one particular focus of Technology the Baliwick of nerds
Not as much as you might think. My late mother played video games and she was no nerd. Phone games in particular, she would often play a phone game at home. Had a thing for bowling games. She liked Hot Shots Golf too, though her long game needed work, she was a monster on the short game though. Her putting and chipping was better than mine. She unlocked all the characters before I did. She did this all with serious rheumatoid arthritis in her hands. (enough to deform her joints)
That's one reason she liked phone games, easier on her hands. She simply couldn't play some games with the way her hands were deformed, Katamari Damacy and Gran Turismo in particular. She tried, but she couldn't do it.
Because, whippersnapper, in our day when The Internet went down, our games were still playable.
They still are, for the most part, even on consoles. Now sure MMO's and MMO-ish games and online multiplayer will be unusable, but single-player games will be just fine and dandy.
Some years back Sony had a similar problem during the PS3 days. It was a leap year bug, IIRC. Anyway, you couldn't access PSN, or use some PSN downloads, but single-player games on disc worked fine.
And now, I could unplug the Ethernet cable from the PS4 and play offline no trouble at all. Sure I couldn't play MMO's like Star Trek Online, or MMO-ish Elite Dangerous, or FortNite: Save the World PVE, but I could play Diablo, Rebel Galaxy, or Skyrim with no problem.
PS+ Instant game library stuff does need to be reauthorized every now and then, from what I can tell it checks your PS+ expiration date and sets expiration to that so you're good for a year. This mostly affects the Vita since you've got to start each PS+ freebie individually (you only have to go to the LiveArea screen) for the expiration date data to update.
That doesn't apply to purchased games, they get expiration dates of "Never".
You really think half the voting population is composed of closet bigots who got fired and replaced with a member of a protected class?
Is English not your native language? Where did I use the word "fired"? I literally said "changes in american society and economy" which is NOT "they all got fired and replaced by a minority."
Though as an aside, don't you think outsourcing and the use of H1B's has increased the amount of anti-India bigotry seen on Slashdot?
While I wouldn't use the word sociopaths, I think "revenge" for purported slights is fairly accurate. A black man was president, they were now expected to be nice to people they considered their "lessers" (glbt folks, racial/ethnic/religious minorities) and the changes in amercian society and economy were affecting them in various ways. No more factory jobs making TV's, adult children asking for help from parents to pay for things like school supplies, maybe their old white doctor retiring and getting replaced a 2nd generation immigrant or something.
So they threw in with Trump, he promised to return things to the way it was, he said the things they thought in their deepest hearts. And it didn't hurt that he was a famous businessman with gold apartments with a model wife.
They didn't read Newsweek, Time, US News & World report, Mother jones, what have you to know that Trump was a charlatan who'd been "faking it" since the 80's. I first heard of him via a lifestyles of the rich show, where he claimed to be a billionaire...... some time later one of the newsmagazines debunked it said he was deep in debt, had been bailed out by his dad before, and was maybe worth 400 million, tops.
They didn't know that he'd said the Central park 5 who had been exonerated of the crime they'd been jailed for, should stay in jail. He said their settlement for wrongful conviction was a disgrace. The DNA evidence and their forced confessions mean nothing to him, they're just "thugs" like other black men are to him.
And to a lot of his followers, they have a similar opinion.
"alphas" and "betas" are single words in English, not hyphenated.
the Deep State's supreme warmonger, Clinton- the woman that promised to go to war with Russia in Syria
Nice try, Ivan. The ONLY people who think Secretary Clinton, of the State Department...you know, the diplomacy guys is a warmonger are Russians.
Our military is ran by the Defense Department, The State department has no authority over that.
Your Comrade Leader Putin was just butthurt because the Clintons gave one of his political opponents some advice on who they might hire to run a political campain in Russia. A campaign that the sabre-rattling nativist Putin lost. He's wanted revenge on the Clintons and the US since the 90's.
So, progressives and socjus nuts didn't dox a community manager from CD Projekt or GoG in the last 6mo? And they didn't throw a hissyfit over Doom Eternal over the "mortally challenged" joke? And they absolutely didn't attack not only the developer of Rimworld, but the community itself as racist, sexist, and transphobic?
Citations needed, and not from some right-wing gamergater asshat making shit up.
And need I remind you that Doxing is a favorite tactic of the alt-right/gamergater/chan/MRA types.
As for Rimworld, the developer got called out for how the slapdash (and quite frankly problematic) relationship system worked and got butthurt. Perhaps he should have waited to release it until it was finished?
And they didn't throw a hissyfit over Doom Eternal over the "mortally challenged" joke?
I find it interesting that you call complaints about a joke that sounded like some right-wing talking points "hissy fits". the term hissy fits is often used in misogynistic ways, isn't it? As in: "Women and their fag friends are just whiners, they're always throwing hissy fits about something. Hurr durr."
And then he doubled down on his numbers, which reflected his own anachronistic biases and not how Real-life works. It's what happens when aspies think they understand social stuff and get called out on their ignorance.
What, you can't play a scruffy facial haired white guy in BF5? No? Quit yer bitchin.
Maybe you missed the part where they decided to take cyberpunk-esque people and slapped them into a game that it doesn't fit in
Maybe you missed the part that the "cyberpunk" woman isn't actually in the game.
do you really think that female avatars are an issue when they're the most common type in MMO's.
Yes. But...
Or do you think that there's something else at play?
the people who tend to play the "brown manly shooter of the week" like BF games, tend to be the goatteededgelord types (viking beards and shaved heads if they're older) You know the types that will self-identify as "atheist rationalist contrarians" or "edgelords", They're insecure in the masculinity in a modern changing society so they take it out on women, GLBT folks, SJW's, you know the drill.
They're exactly the sort of people who think that "gaming" belongs to them and say things like "SJW's and women don't game", so they get butthurt at female characters showing up in their "manly brown shooter"
