Seriously, I was expecting to find that sort of comment in the discussion, though I wouldn't know how to mod it (if'n I ever got a mod point to bestow).
Well, hopefully "informative" or "insightful";) But seriously, the older white population voted in large numbers for Trump, and it's a fact that older people are the most likely to have those conditions. So I'm not sure stating a fact is anything more than... stating a fact. It's also a fact that both candidates were largely disliked by the voters, so the rest of the statement is only taking slight poetic license with how many must have felt casting their vote. Maybe a "creative interpretation" mod would be appropriate? (I obviously need more coffee)
There's a great business opportunity for a new news network featuring less Trump. Light Trump News (LTN) will promise the absolute minimum of Trump-related stories. Lots of stories about cats doing interesting things.
I personally would like a source that just reported the news. No opinions, no editorials, no politicalization. Just the facts.
Still sorry to hear about her death, even though I was more of a Trekkie.
ST is a great concept in a relatively solid universe driven by realistic characters with flaws. Obviously some license taken to help the story lines along regarding aliens. SW is a romantic fantasy adventure set in space, which is where Episodes 1-3 completely and totally failed.
First, the case $20 on sale, at least around here plus the cost of whatever drive you wish to drop in it. That was purely to address the 'x' doesn't have drive 'y' statement.
Second, there's 2 or 3 issues with the online delivery, including quality, reliability, and availability. Streaming for me is a non-starter. The quality is too low overall compared to BD sources, or even DVD sources in some cases, audio especially. Then there's video quality. And finally there's the issue of copyright violations - downloading a BD rip is a definite ethical if not legal difference over ripping your own disk, whatever the *AAs want you to believe. In one case you paid for a copy, in the other no payment was made. In an ideal world, the content producers would have no rights over the copy you paid for.
External powered 5.25 USB 2.0/3.0 case with an internal SATA connector to hold your favorite BD (DVD) Writer. Needs to be able to write at least DVDs to have OSX grant you full access to the drive's controller. Now you have BD/HD/DVD disk access anytime you want, on any machine you have that has USB 2.0 or greater.
It gets worse. Hopefully Disney dosent own the rights to her likeness of we will see her appear in every subsequent film jar jar binks style. In the future, favorite stars will actually be immortal.
Tarkin in Rogue One indicates that the future is now.
Based on the voting records, a good portion of the population at highest risk of dementia, alzheimers, and addling of all sorts voted for Trump. A good portion of the rest vomited a little as they cast their vote.
Sometimes it means you're popular and good. We'll see with time which applies to George, although I'll err on the side of persistence for at least 1 song. Madonna is forgettable, like much of the "new" pop music these days, and much that came out over the past 80 years (about the length of time of mass-produced recordings) It's just mass churn of temporarily catchy but talentless beats. It's a shame that they just must have a grammy for best song every year. Sometimes I feel like they should just withhold the award.
Holy shit. For someone who doesn't care about the death of a person that others may have loved, you sure are vocal about trying to get others to hate on her as well.
Who shoved a lightsaber so far up your ass this morning?
Apparently not far enough, their fingers are still working.
I'm running on multiple machines, including a quad core i7 mini and a 6-core 980x. Handbrake will encode a regular DVD between 150-212 fps depending upon source camera panning (more panning large change per frame shots drops me down to 150 fps or even lower in some circumstances) and BDs are between 25 and 50 fps. I've only done HD camera material via FCP before various upgrades to this machine and ran roughly an average 40 fps encoding rate from multiple sources to final BD master, for mostly framed non-panning content, which doesn't supply enough data points for me to state if it is faster or not. I do know handbrake can peg the hardware around 1100% (6 hyper threaded cores running at near 100%) FCP seemed to run at a similar rate, so it's merely a question of better algorithms and thread/process handling.
I believe that's been possible via the CLI for a long long time, like a decade. However, I don't run batches, because for whatever reason you can't select a configuration to pick the HD audio as a passthrough with a multiple language selection and subtitles in a preferred order automatically, only dropping those that don't exist. I convert everything to MPEG4 incurring an unnoticeable image degradation saving between 50 and 80% of the original source. I'll admit it is surprising when that 30GB source drops down to a little over 3GB, but side by side comparisons really don't reveal any noticeable differences, so I run with it. I still have the originals should it ever turn out I made a bad conversion choice.
I've never tried running it through FCP's Compressor.app. I've been meaning to try it out just for comparison. What's a sample conversion time?
Disclaimer: I use Macs and Linux. "Fall back on VLC" seems an odd thing to say when windows required you to download every codec separately (do they still do that?) or... VLC (or a similar app). The only thing I have an issue playing are a couple of relatively unused and mostly defunct windows specific formats.
You either need some caffeine or a calming agent. He stated he'd be happy to pay for "my copy" of a movie. Nothing more, nothing less. I pay for copies as well, and then format shift them to whatever I need or desire. While I do believe piracy costs companies some money, I doubt it's even within a couple of orders of magnitude of what they claim. They'd be better off just providing a better experience for consumers instead of throwing away money on essentially useless DRM.
Of all programmers that are below average, the vast majority are millenials. The older programmers still left tend to be better at the job or they would have been marginalized out long ago. There are of course those exceptions where there are some old programmers working in a defunct language or system that no millenial would touch, lest it taint their world view or something.
Having just programmed a couple of Android apps, I can honestly tell you that what's on Android is certainly not Java. It shares some basic JDK interfaces but overall it certainly isn't Java and you can't do some simple things with it.
You know, I have no doubt that I don't share your political views since your statement defends Obama.
You might be quite incorrect, as my statement does no such thing. I didn't like Bush Jr much like I don't like Trump. Only someone like Trump could make me cast a vote for Hillary, otherwise I would likely have voted independent.
However, you are correct.
I think we can delink the doubling of the debt from recovering from recession and the two unneeded wars though. He should have only needed at most 4 trillion.
If I had the time, I'd dissect the whole mess, but I don't. However, do recall that congress enacts budgets, and that laws are supposed to start in the house. The last 6 years the house has been under Republican control. The senate has been under complete Republican control the last 2 years. So who has been spending the money?
Bush inherited a faltering economy. He entered office just after the dot-com bubble burst.
False, the economy was running pretty well, and the bubble really burst either 6 months before the election, or on 9/11, depending upon which event you really link complete and utter ruin of stocks to.
His election was in Nov 2000, he entered office Jan 2001, and a President's first budget doesn't kick in until January the following year. During a President's first year, he's actually coasting along on the previous President's budget. So the 2001 recession and 9/11 (2001) actually happened before Bush's first budget went into effect (2002).
That's true, as far as it goes. But much like Trump's statements have caused massive shifts in global tensions before he's even sworn in, Bush's actions in office in 2001 did matter, and did have a direct effect. We'll likely never know for sure how much information Bush really had on Bin Laden prior to 9/11, but it was not "nothing". We do know that they had enough information to know that Iraq didn't have WMDs.
While I agree that presidents in general aren't the major responsible source for the economy, Bush and the Republicans certainly had actions that significantly affected the economy for the worse. Bush - ignoring Bin Laden intel, ignoring Iraq intel, allowed 9/11 to happen and started 2 wars, 1 on completely false pretenses, which we're still actively running up the debt on. Republican congresses removing regulations that allowed the housing bubble and subsequent 2007 collapse. Bush and the Republicans for the unfunded medicare part D. Why unfunded? How else to cause bankruptcy? Instead we got a massive collapse.
It's not that the Dems are squeaky clean, because they're not. But at least they disagree so much internally that even when they had a supermajority, they couldn't even agree on a reasonable healthcare law. The Republicans up to this election have not had that problem.
The housing market meltdown started in the 80s with Republican led removal of various regulations and safeguards that prevented banks from engaging in certain activities. Further action by Republican led congresses over the years removed more and more regulations, including that wonderful one signed by Clinton.
You are so incorrect as to be funny. You'd be amazed at how much the shape of your ears and echoes and timing variations allow you to pinpoint the location of a sound coming from above, behind, below or in front of you. There's another thing, this system allows for broad sound effects, such as sound that comes from all around you or one side, not having a single pinpoint source.
Bush inherited a growing economy, enacted a bunch of legislation to remove regulations (a big plank of the GOP) and boom - we have the 2007 recession. Obama comes in inheriting not only 2 wars Bush started (one on false premises he presented) but didn't finish, but a huge unfunded budget obligation (medicare plan d), and the worst economy since the great depression. I'll leave the obvious logical conclusions for you to figure out why Bush Jr is in the running for worst president in history, and why that hasn't softened in the 8 years since he left office.
My goodness, it seems someone opened their can of paranoid conspiracy theories and hit the jackpot!
The obvious reference (paranoid tin-foil hats) is to people that just absolutely were convinced that the government was spying on everything they do. News flash, they weren't paranoid since that's exactly what was happening. I also happened to know that wasn't paranoia because I knew they have been monitoring the internet for a very very long time. And no, that wasn't because I was one of the monitors.
As to references to Trump being like Hitler are based on his activities during the campaign with emotional appeals to being wronged, making the fatherland great again, complete disregard for facts even at times when they supported him because they would mute his message's appeal with too much information. It very much was like the campaign run by Hitler and Goebbels from the late 1920s onwards.
Just because someone doesn't like Trump doesn't mean they're pro Hillary, dems, or a liberal. Your black and white, us vs them world view is a huge part of the current problem.

Because it's a bunch of true statements.
