    Was the drummed up hate on the “media”? There have always been and will always be Internet trolls. I think the studio brilliantly played this up for attention. The trolls unfortunately fell right into their trap.

  2. Please provide the citation where she did that. Complaining about something isn’t attacking and demeaning unless you’re one of the individuals that confuses the two.

  3. So she said that? Citation needed otherwise you are just lying.

  4. Consider providing a citation.

  5. I can’t see how a white woman complaining about white men is racist but I guess you have to scapegoat for everything.

    Every white male was a villain and every female was flawless? Apparently you didn’t see the movie.

  8. If he’s talking about code written in Java (specifically how Java 9 changes broke legacy code), then he’s right. Also he’s not using it as a justification. He’s saying it was an unfortunate side effect of the changes. It’s not new in the software world where a major revision will break things.

  9. Considering how he was talking about how Java 9 changes broke 3rd party code, it seems logical he’s talking about everything built on Java and not Java itself. And yes that would be billions of lines.

  10. I don’t fault MS for not using “2” on the second console; I fault them for using “One” on the 3rd console. They could have called it Xbox “Zune” and it the “720”, “1080”, “Zune”, “Shark”, whatever. Nintendo has the right idea in that the Switch replaces the Wii. It would be dumb for Nintendo To have named it their newest console “One”.

    In the context of the statement, he’s clearly talking about lines written by others in Java being broken by Java 9 changes not the JDK or SDK

  12. It would have been a flag if he converted all the Bitcoins at once right now, but the story details that the accounts were emptied months ago and the auditors know of at least 14 previously unknown accounts. Who knows how many other accounts exist. He could have created hundreds of accounts to then convert the Bitcoins to other currencies.

  13. No his wife reported that he died in India. If he faked his death, I suppose that he thinks it is easier to fake a death in a foreign country that is 3rd world in places. If he died in the U.K. or France or Germany, it would be way easier to verify.

  14. At best, governments can publish a list of serial numbers for banks to monitor should the bills come into the bank’s possession and then remove them from circulation. However I am not aware of any system that flags these bills for the general public.

    In this case, someone can possibly audit the ledger for these coins, but they were transferred almost a year ago. If they were converted to cash, then the money is gone. If they were transferred to legitimate buyers multiple times, how do you recover it?

  15. No. That’s one of the things that is fueling the conspiracies. He died in India in December and it was reported later by his wife. Normally this wouldn’t be a major issue as people should have privacy about their lives; however, the huge amount of “locked” money now appears to be missing. If the money wasn’t locked and was available right away or the money was there when unlocked, no one would question the death.

  16. Worse yet, it is only payable from Cotten’s account . :P

  17. I don’t fault MS for not naming the second console the “Xbox 2”. I do fault them for naming the 3rd console the “One”. Many other names they could have picked would have been better. And then the naming of the models of each lacked any coherence. As a counter example, Apple code named their OS versions after big cats, but they were running out of names. So they switched to places.

  18. Considering the Xbox 360 alone had “Elite” and “Pro” and “Super Elite” among its many models, I would say that is vastly less descriptive than PS4 or PS4 Pro variations. To refresh your memory the Xbox 360 base model at launch was the Xbox 360 “Core” which was replaced by the “Arcade” model. The higher end model was the “Pro”; however it wasn’t replaced by the “Elite” as the Pro and Elite models existed at the same time. They were replaced by “Super Elite”. Towards the end of manufacturing, all models were replaced by multiple variants of “S”. How is that not entirely confusing and non-descriptive to the average consumer.

    I suspect they wanted to do this earlier when they added the Always-on requirement and the Draconian DRM of the Xbox One before they had to backpedal.

  20. Well MS has been exceptionally terrible at naming things. The Xbox is the best example.

    • Xbox
    • Xbox 360
    • Xbox One

    And that’s not including the models of each with their own nonsensical naming: “Core”, “S”, “Elite”, “Arcade”, “X” On the other hand Sony names their sequentially and each model is descriptive: “slim”, “super slim”, “pro”

  22. My understanding that you have to unlock fast travel which at the minimum requires you to have visited that location before and completed enough of the campaign. If you are playing the game for the first time you’re going to have to slow travel to locations for a while.

    One side effect for me is that I’m less dependent on being home at specific times. Except for the occasional live sporting event I watch TV when I want. Also I don’t have to wait. If I want to see an entire season of a show I can at my leisure.

  24. The last line says: "Apple patched the vulnerability in macOS 10.12.4 that was released in 2016, but the researchers say the more general scope of such attacks remains relevant." So they are complaining about a bug that was patched more than 2 years ago

  25. Re:Is this just an attempt to drum up controversy? on 'Captain Marvel' Review Bombers Have Dropped Rotten Tomatoes Audience Rating To Lowest Among MCU Movies (comicbook.com) · · Score: 1

    Except that there wasn't. It was mostly fake. . .And it sort of worked - a lot of people remember the movie not as a bad movie (and it is) but as a movie that was attacked by online misogynists. It didn't work in driving ticket sales, but it definitely worked in driving the narrative for why the movie flopped. .

    You can look at the comments/review on the Rotten Tomatoes today that shows the exact opposite. Plenty of people still hating on the movie in Feb 2019 because it was a female cast. Just go on Rotten Tomatoes today. You can go back and see the same thing. The movie was mediocre for me. I think you just need a reason to hate the movie.
