yeah but the politicians want to tie it to kids because of lanza's upbringing.. It's spurious bullshit of course. I wonder what it is about CT that spawns such idiocy. Lieberman and Dodd were pulling this crap with Mortal Kombat back in 91.
You could try leaving the access point open and partitioning it with an ipsec segment. Deny any other connection attempts to the interface. Otherwise just hardwire it and be done with it. Wireless will never be secure. You'll just end up fighting a war of attrition, and that 16yo hax0r has much more free time than you do.
1. it's got adblockplus 2. it's the only browser left that isn't directly targeted at marketing interests over my privacy (you worry about holes, but then trust google??) 3. a useful library of plugins. sure other browsers have this now, but not like firefox.
It's interesting that you say this because from what I've seen, it's often the people who complain the most about media violence who have the most trouble telling the difference between fantasy and reality. Naturally they want to sanitize everything down to their level, using government of course, because they assume everyone is at their level. As someone who grew up with such games in the 80s and 90s, I've never had trouble telling the difference, nor has it impacted my judgment. I think the real problem lies in the softening of western society. This push for ultra-sensitisation/feelings-over-facts/consensus-over-correctness is causing ever more extreme reactions from ever more benign stimuli. This is not good..at all. It's like the mother who oversanitizes her baby's environment to the point where his immune system can't develop properly. It's a mistake. If anything, we should be toughening ourselves up for the future instead of softening us up.
You could make the same case for virtually any other hobby or pastime. Sports carry risk, as recent cases of cranial trauma from football have brought to light. In fact, everything carries risk. At some point it boils down to what you want to do with your free time over what you are capable of doing with your free time. Obviously, doing ANYTHING obsessively for a long time is unhealthy, but the old sports jock > video game nerd stereotype runs strong in your post. From where I sit, I see far more evidence that western society obsesses about team sports far too much, and far more than it does over video games. For example, video gaming skill isn't used to get backdoor access to our 'prestigious' universities, but playing good ball often is. Neither should be. Team work is an important skill, but there is far more to success than mere membership in a pack.
If you're going to bitch about games, you need to include all of them. Athletics are as much a diversion as anything else, complete with biochemical highs and other responses that drives players with miserable lives deeper into self important fantasies. It's just that this is tolerated when it's football, but not when it's an MMO.
1. name calling - they want to censor/ban it along with any other critical expression using newspeak/political 'correctness.' Hell, they even do it with science when it threatens that tenet..as dogmatically as the most ardent bible thumping baptist does about gay marriage. How puerile/hypocritical can it get? 2. physical defense of oneself from an attack by another. guns are their primary target of course, but this extends down through to whitewashing entertainment and brainwashing kids in public schools with, well.. see #3. 3. self-empowerment of any kind, despite their propaganda, the only self power they tolerate is the kind your kid sister has when she teases your older friends and then runs behind mommy's legs. today's 'bucket filling' programs (search for it). I swear these 'programs' help to trigger columbines. 4. preferring passive aggression to active assertion, the typical liberal will hide behind their feelings whenever their compartmentalized logic fails to jive with reality, then bait you into 'hurting' them where big-daddy government will (or they think should) come to their aid.
How often do you hear liberals 'cry' about the 'plight' of all the non white/non-straight/non males out there? Seriously? For every glenn beck, there are many more nancys and hilarys. Dogmatism is usually the result of fear, and both sides of the the ill-conceived right/left scale are full of both. Time to vote them both out, people..
No thanks.. there're enough reasons already why today's software responds to input like a dying carcass on blazing fast hardware, especially compared with 15 years ago.. adding pointless latency in the kernel just to support lazy programmers who don't want to learn the proper tools for the job is a bad idea.
The last thing modern computing needs is yet another useless layer that adds even more lag between input and display. the C code is small and simple as it is. keyboards are relatively simple devices that benefit from low latency, so the last thing I'd want is to have my keyboard driver run through a useless intepreter that eats cycles unnecessarily. It wont protect me from bad code whether it's C or lua, so what's the point? Either way the system will panic..
why waste cpu cycles on interpreters? they don't make things 'safer'.. if anything they make the entire code base more complex than it was before, with a massive performance hit as a 'bonus.'
the last place I'd want one of these things is in a kernel, and I'd never consider a lua scripted device 'driver' as legitimate support for any hardware.
It's not application availability, it's the interface itself that sucks for desktop work. skype and ebay are hardly the bread and butter of someone using a desktop machine...and since when does a website really 'need' an 'app' in the first place? It's redundant and done more for marketing than anything else. They want to see their icon on your 'mobile desktop.'.. woohoo..
or, since your model was pay-for as well, you could've offered a real linux build of your project instead of a half-assed win32 kludge and expecting linux users to pay full freight for it.
No thanks. there's nothing worse than dealing with the unintended consequences of nanny alerts/auto-restrictors. Today's cars are already loaded with them and it drives me nuts (seatbelt beeper, proximity beeper, scrolling text on the instrument cluster, and other stupid bullshit put there by 'helpful' manufacturers and control freak, knee jerking politicians. Leave it to committees to make driving a car a process that rivals the time it takes to walk to my destination..
my ideal car has 3 main gauges (tach, speedo, fuel, water/turbo/oil pres depending), manual transmission, and the three dials (NOT touch screen, physical, touch identifiable controls): fan speed, airflow direction, temperature slider, and an A/C button. A radio/mp3 player, lights, wipers, and fuel/trunk release rounds out the package.. No programmable electronics, no black boxes tied into the ignition or other critical systems. They're not needed, and they don't save nearly as much fuel or emissions as people claim. They're just expensive 'fuses' that ensure the dealer makes post-purchase profit on repairs.
... yet they can't seem to keep any of their current, much simpler software secure. Not just google either, but every software company in existence.. Software security is one of those intractable problems that gets exponentially harder as complexity increases..and self driving cars need far more complex heuristics and communication than typical network client software.
When the day comes that every OS and application software is 100% provably secure, I MIGHT consider trusting one of those cars, nevermind a fleet of them hurtling down the highway, but not before then.
hi.. these cars also happen to have 2g/3g/4g transceivers in them which are active on the network whether you register for premium services or not.. there is already history to show that this situation can be and will be abused by government authority and anyone else who can get in.. A self driving car will need more than gps to navigate well. it will NEED this access to function autonomously.
I can't wait for this utopian socialist future where you have no control over anything in your environment as it's all owned by the state/corporate oligarc...err I mean 'the people'... Then your first mistake ends up being your last as access to everything is pulled, remotely, effectively ending your life. This is after you're publicly humiliated automatically on the net for the 'transgression.' Since this tech makes it so easy and cheap, you can expect those transgression lists to be long and full of inane bullshit put there just because some committee could get away with it in a cost effective manner.
yeah, if I'm spending tens of thousands of dollars on something, I want to own it, and control it. that means no remote cut off/control, thanks.
It's not just the touchscreen either as it'll be a whole assembly, which certainly will not scale in the consumer's favor 10 years after the car was built.
Democracy is continuously messy and aggravating, but it's a fuck of a lot better than being sheeple inside corporate dictatorships.
There's less and less of a difference between corporate dictatorships and the smothering oppression coming from neo-socialists passing themselves off as leaders of 'democratic republics'. Both pass off actions that preserve/grow their power bases as caring for the citizen/customer. This results in the latter having sheeple status. They're both full of shit.
Spam isn't much of a problem because of reasonably good technical solutions, not because of law written by ivy league lawyer techno-weenies who think they know what it is they do to/for the rest of us.
"Vote with the ballot box" is and will always be the fairest way: one person, one vote.
hahahaha..hah.. ha.... You say wallet-voting fails then defend voting? What planet are you from? Neither works in systems where consensus and feelings matter more than truth and facts. It's hard to manipulate people who stick with the latter two, leaving corporates and government without much power, thus they work to maintain an impulsive, emotional buyer/voter base..
DNT fails because it leaves the fox guarding the henhouse.. The only way to get rid of web tracking is to kill the scriptable browser.
Oppression is oppression, whether it's corporatocratic tyranny, or abuse by ivy league lawyers in governments who think what's best for them is best for everyone else...Oh wait, both have basically the same attitude. The real fun begins when each side helps the other out, as is happening more and more these days.
yeah, the more they overdo the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain..
seriously, the bootloader on modern hardware doesn't need all that bullshit.. it just needs to load a binary image and execute it. If a more advanced bootloader is needed, just use the bios loader to chainload in place of the OS kernel. The rest of UEFI is fluff. Your other complaints about outdated POST are easily remedied without making the whole stack suck.
A minecraft server needs beefier hardware than the cutrate vps you've got there for casual hosting. Most games as well as audio/video streaming software also require hardware timing which VM software has trouble with..

yeah because they don't mind having their lives ever more micromanaged and sanitized by big daddy.. see I can stereotype and ad-hom too..
..and liberals are afraid of:

It is YOU who needs to turn in his geek card.
Nowadays it's pretty clear that anything with a processor will be connect to some cloud some time in the future, like it or not.
