3. Major US News Station are also part of the problem, such as Faux News. i.e. CNNi put together an award winning one-hour documentary on the use of internet technologies and social media by democracy activists in Bahrain and then refused to show it on CNNi. (CNNi "officially" give the excuse it was only "commissioned for CNN US")
On 19 June 2011 at 8pm, CNN's domestic outlet in the US aired "iRevolution" for the first and only time. The program received prestigious journalism awards, including a 2012 Gold Medal from New York Festival's Best TV and Films. Lyon, along with her segment producer Taryn Fixel, were named as finalists for the 2011 Livingston Awards for Young Journalists. A Facebook page created by Bahraini activists, entitled "Thank you Amber Lyon, CNN reporter | From people of Bahrain", received more than 8,000 "likes".
Despite these accolades, and despite the dangers their own journalists and their sources endured to produce it, CNN International (CNNi) never broadcast the documentary. Even in the face of numerous inquiries and complaints from their own employees inside CNN, it continued to refuse to broadcast the program or even provide any explanation for the decision. To date, this documentary has never aired on CNNi.
Any government that has/demands authority needs to recognize that citizens demand accountability as that is the only way to prevent abuse of said power.

Wow. This is a new low for capitalism. Can't reveal facts because someone might lose money if they ever came to light !/sarcasm And here I thought only the USA had the best government money can buy.

Complete and utter nonsense. Let me know when I can play these on the consoles...

The point isn't the dollar amount, but the principle that Science (and the results of research) should remain open to all.
Science has already been corrupted when people write a whitepaper but don't give access to the data or to the program so that others can verify it. Paywalling Science is just another data point in the long road of money corrupting the spirit of sharing.

Looks like all the graphs on Page 7 has an incorrect TK1 label instead of the correct TX1 ?

I can't wait till OpenCL is supported as well.
Whoa...
You wouldn't happen to have a link for that by chance please?
> The problem here is that Apple's prior use of skeuomorphism WORKED WELL.
I agree 100%. I would also add it looked a beautiful and professional. That's why I'm still on 6.x
i.e. Notes on iOS 6 looks beautiful. Nice yellow paper with blue lines with a good readable font.
Notes on iOS7+ looks like crap.
iOS 7, 8, and 9 look like shit and designed by some elementary kid with horrible color schemes.
It like Apple forgot everything we learnt about beautiful and functional UI in the past 20 years and through it all out.
Just because an issue is "meaningless" for you, doesn't imply it has no value for others.
Great list. I would also add:
1992: s/ftp/fsp/
Though not too many people remember _that_ precursor to ftp
I hear your lament. Sadly, it isn't just Apple though. Microsoft and Google are on the anti skeuomorphism fad.
Function got tossed out for even worse Form.
Microsoft never had a clue about good UI design -- they have always just copied Apple.
I predict it will be another ~15 years before these idiot UX / UI people come to their senses hawking "retro" as the latest fad.

You can fix ignorant but you can't fix stupid.

Agreed.

Violence only begets violence. Work smarter, not harder.
More like "StartsWithACrap" because the site is nothing but bad science and shite sensationalism
Couple of other things you didn't mention:
1. Muslims are simply going to force the "natives" to become the minority via population control.
With Open Gates: The forced collective suicide of European nations
2. The silent majority ARE the problem.

There is no reason why you can't run zsh, tcsh, etc.
Sad to see once a web browser that once was a bastion of open source become yet-another-sell-out.

Easy. By
a) examining the assembly from the pixel shader.
b) discarding all rendering until the end of frame.
The only "interpretation" is how the HDR tone mapping is applied but it is close enough to the real game that it is a minor point.
I would also add in NippleGate, Sex tapes, Unreality crap such as the Kartrashians, and robbing from Paul to pay Peter.

1. Fuck off with your Political Censorship.
2. Lighten up.
**Every** word has a connotation. Ignoring the "bad" ones doesn't magically make them go away.
> TNG is bland, tasteless drivel.
What the fuck are you blabbering about? These were some of the best episodes bar none:
* Chain of Command,
* Darmok,
* Frame of Mind Long before Deception gave us a mind-fuck, Jonathan Frakes gave us a stellar performance,
* The Inner Light,
* The Measure of a Man
Along with the 6 episodes with Q:
* Encounter at Farpoint, ...,
* All Good Things
* Q Who,
* Deja Q,
* Qpid, and
* Tapestry
You're _completely_ missing the point.

Sadly America doesn't have the balls to Annex either Canada or Mexico. (The former which would be a far better fit to the culture.)

Uh, if we are still using the same software from 2015 in 6015 I think we just might have bigger problems. :-)
It is far better to be consistent then accurate and inconvenient.
Same reason we should get rid of that DST crap. Simple = far fewer accidents.
