Although to be honest, the one thing I can't figure out how to do without in case of the fall of civilization, are toenail clippers. I don't think people used knives to clip them.
PHB is Microsoft's primary target, it's who they sell to: not the fortune 500, but the smaller businesses. The consumer PC was just a lucky thing that happened to them on the side.
Oh yeah, I didn't mean that he still hacks into people's email, just that he doesn't seem particularly principled: just a self-serving guy (who might still hack people's email if he could get away with it). From time to time he says stuff that leads me to believe that.
Yeah, and Handbrake can skip while it's ripping, too. Furthermore it doesn't handle the "Disney" style drm.
That's why I suggest ripping with MKV, then converting to your desired format with Handbrake.
A few weeks back I attempted to purchase it because the consensus among friends is it's the best to convert my home library to my media server.
For ripping and converting video, I've found that MKV + Handbrake works really nicely, and it's free. http://www.makemkv.com/
I wish more people knew about it instead of those stupid clones that come up better in search results and ask for money.
Yeah, I changed my mind (again) after someone pointed out that even with the button showing up on the UI screen, no confirmation is required: it's a CANCEL button, which means if he didn't notice it, then it would automatically start going.
I changed my mind after reading the article, it's not a UI issue, the car gave the user a warning on the screen, and the user had a chance to cancel. Quote:
The driver was alerted of the Summon activation with an audible chime and a pop-up message on the center touchscreen display. At this time, the driver had the opportunity to cancel the action by pressing CANCEL on the center touchscreen display; however, the CANCEL button was not clicked by the driver. In the next second, the brake pedal was released and two seconds later, the driver exited the vehicle. Three seconds after that, the driver's door was closed, and another three seconds later, Summon activated pursuant to the driver's double-press activation request.
Yeah, this guy screwed it up (although it's kind of surprising how much information Tesla collects).
What I cannot understand at all, however, is why some important functionality is activated by some esoteric feature as this, in a car with a 200 square inch touch screen
Who is the "THEY" you are referring to here? It's not like there is a periscope producer with her hand over the cutoff button, waiting to decide if the content is no appropriate for broadcast.
I don't know about Periscope, but I know Twitch goes out of their way to flag people who have 'inappropriate' content.
Heh... I don't know what to say but I'm compelled to say something. I'm actually sitting here pondering the words to write, for another email, as I'm a huge fan of PAS (physician assisted suicide)
Did you know that cross traffic is legally prohibited from entering the intersection until it's clear?
Yeah right, I seriously doubt you wait until the intersection is empty before entering it. You probably look ahead of the car in front of you and see if there's room, just like everyone else.
Write your own version of openssl. Generally it's considered bad to implement your own crypto, but you can't do worse than openssl! At least all the security vulns will be your own instead of shared with half the internet!
I've noticed over the last 30 or so years that people have lost the art of public discourse. No one can disagree anymore without resorting to hateful vitriol, slinging insults, rioting in the streets
Nah. It's that more people have access to public discourse. People were always slinging insults at those moonbats and calling each other hitlers, but now they can actually get a bigger audience than just their family.

toilet paper beats that, I'm telling you.

tbh I wouldn't care as long as it got me sales. But I can imagine someone out there might care.
I think I prefer gridlock.
Yeah.
It's worth mentioning that most people who make minimum wage are teenagers, not supporting a family.
Thanks for the reminder, it's important to keep that in mind.
As for an agenda, I freely admit my agenda is that I don't like Zuckerberg.
Oh yeah, I didn't mean that he still hacks into people's email, just that he doesn't seem particularly principled: just a self-serving guy (who might still hack people's email if he could get away with it). From time to time he says stuff that leads me to believe that.
I would agree with you if there were any indication that he's changed. AFAICT he's still the same guy.
Zuckerberg's 'principles' involve stealing passwords and reading other people's email.
Stanford parser seems to come up with something reasonable, but I have no idea what that sentence mans.

Oh. I thought that was a link of you doing donuts on your mobility scooter on your way to Wal-Mart. If you do that, make sure to take a video.
No, this is a UI fuckup. The button should be "Confirm", not "Cancel".
OK, you convinced me, the UI is still lousy.
Wow, Tesla thinks of everything.

Well, don't choose to go too soon.

Yeah, or robotics. Make a self-flying drone or something.
