VICE doesn't have the same feel or smell as a warm 6510 and SID, whippersnapper. You haven't lived until you've touched the yellowing plastic of a C64/128 keyboard with your hands and waited 3 minutes for some game to load up from a glacially slow 1541.
Just like playing some Midway collection with Xybots or Xenophobe in it on the PS3, isn't like playing the original.
Now get off my lawn, my lumbago is acting up and I got to take my headache powders and listen to Fibber McGee on the Philco.
Really? You got a pink computer then? You know damn well that if a product comes in blue and pink with each having the same function, that men would consider the pink one "the girl version"
This is exactly what someone says when they are trying to take away someones liberty.
You are not John Galt, or Lazarus Long. Everyone is a part of society, even you.
I am fucking things up for you,....by not letting you fuck up my kids?
My statement was generalized. If you say no one can fuck with kids, then what happens when some parents DO fuck up society with their fucked up kids? What if YOUR kids fuck up society because of something you did?
You are so self-righteous that you think that you know best for everyone else.
Human beings are dumb animals and you know it. Some of them have no business raising kids. Some of them are barely competent at running their own lives. While I'm not one to want to forbid people having kids without taking tests or being licensed somehow, society has to deal with the fallout of bad parenting. We do that as a society, as a whole. Now you may be such a individualist that you resent that, but that is the nature of the societal contract.
If you try to fuck up my kids I will fucking kill you. Remember that when you are trying to push one of your feel-good initiatives via government.
That is NOT an excuse or justification for lethal force. You kill some social worker because you think she was pushy, you will go to prison for murder, premeditated. Tone that unreasonable anger down buddy, it will get you into trouble someday.
Sorry that your narrative and a fictional movie doesn't reflect reality but do try to be honest, here.
Again, you are parroting a myth.
Not a myth, history. I thought this was common knowledge, apparently not. While yes, women's participation in the workforce increased yes, but those numbers don't say "which jobs". And it's known fact that at the end of WWII "some" women were told to give their jobs back to men. It happened, you can look it up. This happened most frequently in jobs traditionally done by men before the war. Heavy manufacturing, welding, that sort of thing Light manufacturing wasn't as much affected.
World War II created millions of jobs for women. Thousands of American women actually joined the military: 140,000 in the Women's Army Corps (United States Army) WAC; 100,000 in the Navy (WAVE); 23,000 in the Marines; 14,000 in the Navy Nurse Corps and, 13,000 in the Coast Guard. Although almost none saw combat, they replaced men in noncombat positions and got the same pay as the men would have on the same job. At the same time over 16 million men left their jobs to join the war in Europe and elsewhere, opening even more opportunities and places for women to take over in the job force.[42] Although two million women lost their jobs after the war ended, female participation in the workforce was still higher than it had ever been.[43]
I just want to know when they'll be producing Nurse Boy, and Teacher Man. I can't get worked up about the topic of the lack of women in STEM if we're not going to be equally worked up about the lack of men in traditionally female careers.
OTHER people are worked up about it and a trying to do things about it. You just won't hear about it on in the neckbeard-centric tech-career-obsessed Slashdot.
Of course it was higher, population has grown. But what was stated was that women were forced out of manufacturing jobs (and other male oriented positions) when the war ended. Which is quite true. Women were directly told that they had to give up their jobs being welders or whatever to returning GI's and those that wanted to work were pushed into more traditionally female jobs.
IIRC Grace Hopper herself stated that during the war there were opportunities for women to do things that they hadn't been allowed to do before.
A good fictional example is the TV series Homefront, which has a young woman forced out of her assembly job into the secretarial pool.
There's even mention of it in "A League of their Own"
No it's not just your business, we don't live in vacuums. No man is an island If YOU fuck up YOUR kids, who then go on to fuck things up for OTHERS, that's OUR business.
and if you ever try to force it through government coercion (violence) then I'll fucking kill you.
Wait...government is violence? And then you respond with such a violent tone?
If your kids try the same I'll kill them too. You do not get to fuck up my kids. Period.
You do NOT get to be a self absorbed asshole who fucks things up for everyone else. We are a SOCIETY. Maybe you're one those aspie libertarians who doesn't understand things like Society or emotions in general, but that's no excuse. We are all in this together. No man is an island.
Those 'researchers' are likely political activists first, scientists second. They're the first cause for the 'gender' self assignment craze.
There is no craze that supposed researchers started. The researchers are researching an already existing group. There have been transgendered people for a a LONG time in cultures all across the planet.
then it would follow that there should be women who "believe they're really a man." Except... there aren't. Go ahead, find a Caitlyn that wants to be a Bruce.
They're called FTM's or transmen. Been around for years, however since our society seems to be obsessed with the MTF side, you don't hear much about them:
No really cares much about how RMS has that autistic-spectrum excessive focus on the terminology, when everyone else just wants a snappy and short and easy to pronounce name.
So "Normal" people call it Linux, and they outnumber bearded autistic people who use computers like it was 1971 or something, by a HUGE number.
Oh your sound is probably working, except your sound output is probably not going to the "right" output for you to hear it. Under pulse, headset jack and line-out jack are separate outputs, as are most modern video cards.
That said, pavucontrol ought to be installed by default since it is the easy way to switch outputs, though you can also use pactl (or pacmd I think)
If I said Phil and Leo would you know their real names and how they played into this? The answer would be no.
Perhaps if they had put their money where their mouths are and promoted use of their real names when talking about RL issues.
You're not clouding your views based on who they might be, their race, sex, or anything else. You're basing the merit of their statements and ideas.
Come now, that's a disingenuous statement...because "Thunderfoot" was a Youtube personality!
And I know that many on the far left, especially in the social justice circles and modern feminism have a real problem with merit and meritocracies which they call sexist, sometimes racist, and I've even seen merit called homophobic.
It's easy for someone to claim something is a meritocracy, when it actually isn't in practice.
or harassment like Leothepirate or Thunderf00t for example but allowed people like Quinn, Harper, Sarkeesian and Wu to run free
I want to point out something interesting. Those men are referred to by their by their adolescent-y pseudonyms, but the women are referred to by their real names.
Isn't this ultimately the same thing? How can players play the games they want when developers are pressured into not developing them?
It's not teh same thing.
She's saying "You're overusing these tropes, it's the lazy way out, start making smarter stories rather than the same old 'guys wife gets killed and he goes on a rampage' thing over and over again"
Now imagine someone came along and said, these games are bad, you shouldn't play them.
She isn't doing that.
Now imagine something different. That person isn't coming along saying I can't play these game, they're going to the developers saying they can't make them. How is that not denying me the right to play these games I like?
She isn't doing that either. All she's saying to them is "Make better stories that don't rely on those old tropes."
Those are excessively used, so when she says it is overused, she's saying "come up with something better and more imaginative rather than using this one too much"
If someone starts using social justice weasel words like "patriarchy", "privilege", "toxic masculinity", and "objectifying women",
Those aren't weasel words, those are actual things. They exist.
it's a safe bet that they're trying to shame you for liking what you like,
Maybe a little bit of shame might be a good thing? Maybe YOU can complain to developers who keep using the same tropes over and over again.
But, if the speaker is someone who is constantly throwing social justice terms at you as an "educational" device, I'm really sorry, but it doesn't matter how disingenuously apologetic they are about it, they're still trying to indoctrinate you.
It's the 21st century, you should know about those so-called "social justice terms" already. Really, you should know about them already She's not trying to indoctrinate you, just tell you about things you should have realized or known already.
As I've said before on Slashdot, perhaps RAM type and internal bus speed matters more now. Those PS4's aren't running plain ordinary PC RAM but GDDR5 with fast internal busses backing it up. It may be the "big pipes/small pans vs small pipes/big pans" thing again.
This is probably the reason the PS3 and PS2 before it had RAMBUS RAM and fast internal busses (crazy 10 channel DMAC on the PS2) Maybe they made up a bit for deficiencies in how much RAM they had, becuase they could fill it and empty it faster than anything.
I've said something like that before, about how the PS4 doesn't have to keep a printer queue or other services running.
But it might also it's the SPEED of the RAM and the speed of the internal busses The PS4 isn't running standard PC RAM, but much faster GDDR5 with some fast internal busses enabling the thing to transfer data internally very very quickly. The PS2 and PS3 before it, also had comparitvely fast RDRAM and XDR DRAM respectively as well as fast internal busses.
What makes you think there is a murder problem? Check the statistics, compare them to other cities. You'd find Chicago wouldn't even make the Top 30 worse. Might not even make the top 100.
if you're running a subscription stream over the Internet(other than through YouTube, Twitch, Blip, Own3d, or Ustream), you still need to negotiate a license.
And who does that? Really, who does that?
"First they came..."
You did NOT go there. Totally not comparable! Apples and oranges. This is why I sometimes have uncharitable thoughts about autistic spectrum people. And sometimes think that they should be forbidden from using the internet. You simply don't understand WHY you shouldn't use such comparisons.
Now you're probably thinking: "I do not understand the feelings of neurotypicals, and why he is upset/annoyed with me for comparing publishers rules about streaming with Nazis"
If Anita dislikes what is being made by the game developers, why doesn't she make her own games?
She doesn't like the excessive use of certain tropes. Besides, why should SHE be held to a higher standard than a Film critic, TV Critic, or Book reviewer. People can criticize and review thing without having jerks tell them "if you don't like it make your own."
We need critics.
Besides, if you were complaining about a cold, do you think I should tell you "Quit whining and go to med school and become a doctor" We all have different skill sets.
I used Anita as an EXAMPLE, sinche Gamergate people are often very upset by her and believe she wants to ban the games they play, as the fellow I was responding to believed.
You use quotation marks, but I couldn't find where the GP said such a thing.
HELLO! Interpretation of GG "feelings" of persecution!
You mean the Odyssey II? Well it and the Intellivision were more like the 2nd or 3rd generation of consoles, depending on you count them. The first video game console was the Original Odyssey, released in 1972. Yes, that's right, 72.
Predates the dedicated pong machines by 3 years. (those started hitting the stores in 75)
I don't suppose anyone knows, off hand, when the first 'personal computer' arrived (do we go with the early micos)?
I do, Altair 8800, 1974. But it and the other s-100 machines were a toys for bearded engineers with soldering skills, a teletype to hook up to it, and money. Not mass market.
Personal Computing didn't really start going till the release of the Apple II, Commodore PET and TRS-80. All of which post date the Odyssey 1, Coleco Telstar, Atari Pong, Fairchild Channel F, and other early consoles The famous Atari 2600 came out in September of 77 after the Apple II (June) and TRS-80 (August), but before the Commodore PET (November).
Atari TV commercial from 1977: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Lets just say that video gaming on consoles was already BIG money in 1977.
PC gaming as a commercial thing really didn't get going till computers sold in large enough amounts for selling software to be feasible. That would have been about 1979 or 1980. Those would have been limited runs for the Apple II or TRS-80. Games like Temple of Apshai ('79), Sargon chess, and Flight simulator I ('79 for the Apple II, '80 for the TRS-80) I remember seeing commercial games in stores (not just mail order) for the VIC-20, which was the first computer to sell a million units.
I suppose you could argue that PC = microcomputer, not mainframe but i think in this context you are just being disingenuous.
Why yes, a PC IS a microcomputer, not a mainframe. Space War, Hunt the Wumpus or Willy Higinbothams Tennis for Two is not PC gaming. Electronic Gaming yes, but not PC Gaming. I define PC gaming as being in the "home" and being "mass market"
I also don't count any gaming on an Altair or other S-100 bus machine to be PC gaming, those were hobbyist toys for bearded engineers with money to burn on a new playtoy. Not machines for the masses.
Now gaming on the Apple II, Commodore PET/CBM/VIC or TRS 80 Model...now those are the start PC gaming. They had commercial games on the shelves, not just type in programs from magazines or books. The VIC 20 being the first computer to sell a million units. And yes, the first dedicated consoles predate those.
My point is that copyright law gives video game publishers the power to set restrictive policies.
Yes, their sandbox, their rules.
But to me, the "sports" ecosystem includes broadcasting the events on subscription or ad-supported television. A blanket noncommercial license does not cover such commercial use. So I'm still confused as to how much an organizer of a video game tournament shown on TV should expect to have to pay for a nonexclusive license to stream each event or what other conditions a promoter will be expected to follow.
That is NOT your concern. It is the concern of the professionals in broadcasting since if an esport was to be broadcast on "regular tv" and not just the internet, professionals would be involved not just some internet fanboys who want to do a tournament. There would be production companies and contracts and lawyers.
Again....Not...Your....Concern. Why the hell you let issues like this distract you is beyond me.
