Remember Heartbleed? Tell me Robin Seggelmann isn't on the NSA payroll and I won't believe you. Tell me he's unemployed, and I might believe you. But he's not unemployed, after making the stupidest fucking mistake EVER.
And it goes deeper than one guy allegedly fucking up code in the most critical piece of security software in the world.
RFC6520-- WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS EXIST? Because it's too computationally expensive for clients to re-establish SSL sessions...?! Really? My dual core 2.15ghz smart phone begs to differ.
Highly suspicious that this RFC even exists, and then later is the source of the biggest FUCK UP in security coding history.
The fucking game is rigged. There is no privacy. There is no security.
- the law is theft and the entire system is built around that theft. AFAIC Apple shouldn't pay a cent and instead hire a private army to go after every single politician involved in this racketeering and I mean to go with full force of every shady tool available to people when that sort of money is involved, up to and including blackmail, kidnapping, extermination and regime change.
Tax is theft?
Good luck finding a shoulder to cry on when John Galt quintuples the price of electricity because he can.
I was recently at a free security seminar, which featured an FBI special agent from the cyber-crime devision as the main speaker.
Main LOL's taken away from this talk:
-Stuxnet was created by terrorists.
-Dual-factor auth. is not the silver bullet it appears to be.
-Everyone should put their data in the cloud.
-Private cloud is less secure than public cloud.
The 20/30-somethings in the room were stoked about free beer and cookies. All the old-head neckbeards had full blown WAT face going on.
The problem with this logic:
1. They didn't build a universe, they built a galaxy. If you "end the game" by getting to the center, you get dumped into a "new" galaxy. You can't otherwise travel between them, so even if there's an infinite number of successive galaxies, that does not constitute a universe.
2. A galaxy is quite huge, but when you have a few million people in it, traveling around at speeds that let you jump between stars in seconds, the chances of people meeting are NOT astronomical. I am not surprised that 2 people ran into each other on day 1, exposing the multiplayer lie.
As soon as I got into space, and landed on the 2nd planet, and saw it was pretty much the same as the first planet, I knew what was up. That was about 6 hours in. (4 hours past Steam's 2 hour refund limit).
You might think 6 hours is a long time to get to that point, but I played a few minutes at a time, and loading time counts. At least an hour of the first 6 was loading screen, because I played in 5 or 10 minute increments. 5 to 10 minutes is about how long it would take the game to bore the ever-loving shit out of me, and I'd go do something else, thinking "I'll come back to it later when I'm in the mood, and it will be better when I'm in the right mood for it". It never was.
First 6 hours also included multiple false starts. One crash, and multiple instances of alt-tabbing out, and can't alt-tab back in...... all of this before I discovered how saving works, so every time, I started from scratch. Save file I'm currently in didn't even START within the first 2 hours of gameplay. No exaggeration.
I've abandoned the game at this point, with 13 hours of gameplay. I'm done with it.
Also, Atlas reminds me of the 'Tet' from Oblivion. Are we an effective team, Hello Games?
Energy conservation isn't sexy because those pushing it (hard) don't give a fuck about the environment. Energy conservation programs are all about not building new power plants to meet ever increasing demand.
Amazon exec looks at people working 70 hours a week and getting paid for 40..... twirls his Snidely Whiplash mustache, and says "I wonder how I can save even more....... AH-HA! I'll reduce their "hours" to 30!!!"
Depending on what host you connect to, they might know a whole lot more than that. Funny how HTTPSEverywhere got popular shortly before Heartbleed, isn't it? You think everyone bothered to patch?
The only drivers that should be capable of causing a panic are kernel mode drivers. Video, sound, and NIC.... and MS is only allowing those to be kernel mode because they learned from Vista's shitty gaming performance.
In the small number of cases where a game would look better with a newer directX version..... its not the OS's fault. It's just MS artificially creating a reason to upgrade (because there really isn't one).
Also, have you noticed OpenGL / OpenCL game support becomming more common? I wonder what that's all about..... =)
If you understand what a BSOD is (kernel panic), and you also understand why this shouldn't happen (no userland software or hardware should EVER be talking directly to the kernel since Vista), you'll come to the same conclusion I have.
2 possibilities:
1- Microsoft is fucking with Amazon. Azure can't compete with AWS, so they have to attack Amazon somehow...
-OR-
2- Anniversary update contains new NSA spyware meant to interact with the kindle, but instead FAILs hard thanks to what I assume to be internal sabotage from someone inside the NSA who hates his job (maybe the same guy who leaked the DNC emails and the NSA tools).

WTF is "SLR-quality" supposed to mean? (Question being asked by someone who knows what SLR is).
I would condense the list to Feynman and Tesla.
Snowden didn't tell me anything I didn't know.

"Grumpy cat" is a meme created by the internet. How is it fair that the owners of the cat make millions off of a meme they didn't create?
Except they're not making money off their cat, they're making money off a meme, which they didn't create and don't own.
The cat's likeness only has value because it's a meme. The cat's owners own the cat, and it's likeness, but they don't own the meme.
So, what are the owners of the cat making money from? Pictures of the cat? Or pictures of the cat, superimposed with text someone else wrote?
Right after we send the Caucasians back to the Caucasus.
Does that currency conversion take into account local cost of living indexes? Or is it purely based on currency exchange rates?
Jones' job is to rile people up. Every 6 months or so, it's the same shit:
"IT'S HAPPENING! IT'S HAPPENING! THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU! THEY'RE COMING FOR YOUR GUNS! NOW IS THE TIME! GET READY!"
And if you're dumb enough to buy guns or ammo at Walmart on that particular day of the year, you just made "The List".
His name is Bill Hicks, and allegedly, he works for the Jesuits.
Alex Jones == Bill Hicks.

Better question: How long before Hello Games starts crying about internet trolls bullying them?

It's even less impressive that they're running it in a VM.

The only drivers that should be capable of causing a panic are kernel mode drivers. Video, sound, and NIC.... and MS is only allowing those to be kernel mode because they learned from Vista's shitty gaming performance.
...and in the super-secret POSIX system calls.
