They explain that. It's not to determine if the cadet (it was given in Starfleet Academy) knows how to handle a no-win scenario, it was to see HOW they handled it. There wasn't a pass/fail (except, I guess, if the cadet curled up under the captain's chair and cried or something), it was a personality assessment.
Is that a crack that GP should get over wanting to play his old games, or is there an actual video on Netflix that's actually like A Midsummer Night's Dream?
I ask as one who very much enjoyed the play, and wants to know if there's something I need to add to my weekend queue.:)
Anyone who parrots that "golden age" industry wank (I wish I could remember which sock-puppet kicked it off a few years back) unironically clearly didn't live through the Age of Legends (Gen 3-4 with Atari/Intellivision/Odyssey/et al as Gen 1).
Because Title II was specifically written to apply to phone service, and the Internet does not fall under that, but an Information Service.
You keep repeating this, while ignoring the fact that, until the early 2000s, it DID fall under it already. The whole "information service" Title I reclassification came about because the ISPs said "the regulations are holding us back, we promise we'll play nice if you cut us some slack." Instead, they delivered conflicts of interest and asterisks all the way down.
It depends where you are. I recently finally got tired of Sprint's bullshit (like charging me a $10 "4G" fee because my phone was WiMax - i.e. has never, ever worked as a 4G phone) and switched to T-Mobile. It works pretty well around home and the office, but it has a lot of spotty coverage in the "in between" areas, and none at all at the SO's apartment. Wifi calling didn't work right there, either, probably because of having 20+ SSIDs pumping through her living room. So coverage can still be a very real concern for them.
OTOH, they seem to have the self-awareness to realize this: When I called them about the problem, they hooked me up with a "free loan" (i.e. I have to send it back if I change carriers) of a 5gHz WAP. Hopefully that nails down the problem, but it's sure a nice surprise either way.
You and siblings missed the gag: capital "F" on fuck was to troll the AC complaining about capitalization, the "American spelling" would be "capitalise," with an "s" in the UK.
No, you are ignorant of What is free software.I repeat: It's about freedom.
Actually, I know exactly what Free Software is (at least as defined by the FSF): I think you're just using the letter of the definition to ignore the spirit of it. You're conflating not distributing modified versions of released software with not distributing your own software - nothing wrong with that, we all have one-off scripts the universe at large isn't interested in - but there's nothing about that software that's "free" other than your statement that it is - If you decided that you weren't going to release it under the Oracle "We reserve the right to eat your Firstborn " license, the end result would be identical - no one else can run, copy, distribute,study, change, or improve it.
It contributes nothing to the software ecosystem or to society as a whole, which is the entire point of Free Software.
Having been in one of those "serious situations," my TDE, according to the common formula I found from just about every resource, was in the high 2000s. My first target was 1800 kcal, and I still either maintained or gained weight. It wasn't after dropping it to 1000 for a month (up to 12 for five months after that) that I started having any weight loss.
Not that I particularly recommend that approach. I lost weight, yes, but I spent six months feeling like a bear with a tranq in my ass.
Contrast that to a Dorito chip which is a bloated monolithic blob
OMG, just because they all come in the same bag doesn't mean it's monolithic! The chips are separate! If you want to take out one Dorito chip and replace it with a Pringles, you totally can (after using another Dorito chip to grind it down into the right shape).
Gee, how was Ma Bell able to maintain a monopoly and keep anyone else from competing?
Oh, that's right! The FUCKING GOVERNMENT prevented competition!
Which was unrelated to the FCC's Title II regulation: "the government" is not one big, monolithic entity.
The government also continued to interfere after Ma Bell was broken up, and even after ISPs were re-classified as Title I communication services: every time they laid new cable or fiber. There is no internet access without government action - none of the providers are going to arrange land use/rental agreements with every property owner, so the only reason it's even a thing is because of the government exercising its "easement" (eminent domain) powers.
Bad coders are irrelevant to the fact that PHP is objectively and measurably bad in design and implementation. It started as a toy, and that pedigree still shows.
Not only is it still the mess of internal inconsistency, braindead weak-typing and promotion, and anemic text support, but there's some amazing -- I mean brilliantly, awe-inspiring, mind-boggling -- idiocy in some of its baked in APIs: LDAPs ldap_list() vs ldap_read() vs ldap_search() all perform the same operation but with different scopes, none of which are particularly clear from the function names. Others are incomplete in spite of being for mature protocols: good luck getting a CERT record from a DNS server. And then you've got ones like OpenSSL which combine both into a nonsensical mass of mental anguish that, fortunately, is actually utterly pointless to use anyway because there's no functionality regarding certificate revocation, making the whole thing one big tumor of futility.
The FCC also heavily regulated the telecom industry. We had no innovation for decades
We also had no competition for decades. It had nothing to do with regulation, it was because Ma Bell was the only game in town (FSVO "town" approaching "manifest destiny").
Right. So how much can it hurt to clear out some of the deadwood brogrammers spending their time on dick jokes and let a few budding Grace Hoppers have a go?
I'm not remotely convinced that those "budding Grace Hoppers" aren't already "having a go." I've worked with more than a few.
I suspect that it's time to update the old saw to "Those who can, do. Those who can't, cry about 'oppression' on the internet."
Slashdot Mirror
I was more struck by the lack of an articles or possessives. It does sound more stunted than
"...but keeps revising in the likelihood that the request is denied" or somesuch.

Please provide the "objective proof" that we are in this "Golden Age" of gaming, rather than rattling off a list of games that you think are good.

There are exemptions in FTC regulations for Common Carriers.
FTC is suing AT&T.
AT&T says "Step off, FTC. We're under the FCC until we win our lawsuit fighting it"
Judge says "Fuck you, you weren't Common Carriers when you pulled your scam."

I'm just puzzled that I actually ate a downmod for that post. It's amazing what people take personally on the internet these days.
I'd love to have a test that determines if an article is fembaiting drivel, and then promptly discourages me from clicking on it. .
These days, the word "female" in TFS seems to be showing good success.
Or try giving a young girl a lego set for her birthday and see what the other adults think.
I did that for my niece. My brother looked at me like I was Satan incarnate, and instantly developed a psychosomatic limp...
But I made it for myself and can do anything I want to it, so it's free software.
Being unreleased, it doesn't have any distribution license, so one else can do anything with it, so it's not "free software."
Which step is it that installs the customized thermal sensors?
Less reliable than they say, in my case.

And I thought it couldn't get any more useless and idiotic than the original Bechdel test!

A free software license will always be considered open source compliant.
That was my take, and what the poster I was responding to said was not the case.

. As a user of FOSS, I like to think it's being written by people who are somewhat competent
I'd say the last five years of Mozilla, GNOME, et al have pretty well popped that particular fantasy already.
