I'll have you know that many "bad" girls like to prey on men in these churches. The men think they can "save" the bad girls and get them to repent, but all the women really want is a man willing to indenture themselves into marriage. Then they abuse their wallet and run them through an expensive divorce and take their 50%
Happened to a fundie acquaintance. We warned him, but "God" had other ideas. *sigh*
There is a fairly healthy C64 community, including electronic engineers and tinkerers, who have been able to build replacement power supplies for the good ol' breadbox given that it had particularly ugly power supply issues as well.
I don't think it would be too difficult to ask them to take a look at the BBC Micro to see what could be done there....
Interesting way to mount the graphics card in the tower case though.
These graphics cards are becoming so bulky, they're just about ready and willing to snap the PCI-express ports with their sheer bulk, assisted by gravity. Perhaps a better question to ask is whether case designers are willing to go along with AMD's proposed redesign?
Actually, having cameras on the outside to detect the actual reality, and then import the visuals to the VR would be a good idea worth investigating....but then, with a few tweaks, the hololens could probably do the same job as the oculus.
The article does raise one major issue with VR in regards to controllers.
Every time I've experimented with the Oculus, I have to place my hands on the keyboard to find the controls before I put the headset on... BEFORE I being to wear the Oculus. Otherwise, I drop the headset on and feel around for the keyboard.
This is incredibly clunky. I should be able to see my controller with the headset on. The VR system needs to detect controllers, and what's displayed on them, as it does head motion tracking.

I'm going to be more insulted by you confusing Max Max with "American culture", when in fact the original Mad Max movies were out-and-out Australian!
There doesn't seem to be much factual evidence to make the claim that "It's unequivocally better than performance on OS X,"... The claim, by it's very language deletes a lot of information making the claim worthless.
Unequivocally... (says who?) Better... (by what standard?) Performance (by what metric?)
I know that this is probably just a personal blog with an opinion.... and he does want to quantify the claim with stats... but it's a bit too early to make the claim.
Well, thank goodness it's a game where thermonuclear war has no real world consequences!
I suppose the AI should probably consider economic sanctions, black-ops interference, and cultural dominance as a means to crush nations into poverty and anarchy and eventual revolution - at which point they can be invaded.... you know, to make the game a bit more like real life in the post-nuclear age.
In a stalemate with all the various countries, should the AIs of the larger more powerful nations start noticing that progress towards world domination has slowed down and started doing the necessary politics to create an alliance to smash the tiny nations?
Throw a bunch of orders at the top of the market Throw a bunch of orders under the market. Lets say you have 3 trillion dollars of pending buys and 2 trillion of pending shorts
The play is obvious.... go up and trigger the 3 trillion of buy orders and hit their stops, and then turn around and crash right through the 2 trillion of shorts.
Sure, you hand back 2 trillion to the market... but you just nabbed 3 trillion. Take 1 trillion in profit on the aggregate.
A market maker must *always* have a bid and ask price showing and they *must* buy or sell at these prices even if it costs them large sums of money.
Of course, but that's the point though.... NO-ONE is going to actually trigger these massive orders because they don't have the equity to fill them. Yes, it's a risk that they get hit, but... who would?
Just throw some big stops on in each direction, make it look like there are market participants....
This is basically what Market Making is: Creating a bunch of pending orders that are never triggered to push the market away and into the direction they want. Only the biggest players on the block can get away with doing this because they have billions in equity.... such as the largest 12 banks on the planet.
Always good to know that the value of all our commodities and currencies are controlled by them on a whim, isn't it? Also good to know that they make money by default and can't really lose the game.
Why the continual one-way focus on women? Why can't we just let individuals be individuals, and do whatever they want? Ensure that there are no artificial barriers due to gender (or skin color, or hair color, or whatever), stop pushing people in directions they don't want to go, and just let people choose whatever career they want.
Ever since women could conceive children, they've never needed an excess of men to parent the human race. One (very lucky) man is all that's needed... but themselves women are the "irreplacable" part of the equation... AND they seek to remind us of this all the time.
Hence men and women have NEVER been equal and NEVER WILL BE.
There's a bit of confusion, but essentially there is a big difference to flash memory that is presented as a replacement hard disk and talks over SATA, and a flash card that talks to the computer over PCIe through a motherboard PCIe slot.
Essentially, PCIe is a darn sight faster than SATA, so when you hook up a flash drive to it, it goes at ludicrous speeds.
Interestingly, with Windows 7 at least, OEM-SLP loader method of "piracy" has remained bullet-proof. In the past 5 years it's been in use, it has always reported genuine, no altering MS binaries, and MS can't tell the difference between you and someone that bought their HP PC at Best buy.
It will be interesting to see if upgrading a OEM-SLP Windows Loadered Windows 7 maintains full "genuine" status on an upgrade to Windows 10.
If so, it's going to be a pirate free-for-all on Windows 10, just like Windows 7

I saw Christian Bale in "American Psycho II" from the trailer.

Whatever happened to your Granddad's VIC-20, and what was your high score on Avenger? Radar Rat Race?
There, I said it.

So there is still plenty of work to do there.
Grand Theft Auto V was a 60GB download.
Should come as no suprise really as these latest-gen AAA games are massive, MASSIVE downloads.

Go back to sleep everyone. Nothing to see here...
This is madness.
No.
AD, Office, Exchange, Lync, Sharepoint..... are all the killer apps that work in Microsoft's favour in enterprise environments.
There is nothing comparable on Linux, in terms of ease-of-use, deployment, and cohesion.
Having LibreOffice available is just not enough.
To make people OK with it - in a post Snowden world.
