Back in the earliyish days of cell phones (1994ish) I had a cell phone that would cause my computer speakers to power off about a half second before the phone would ring.

Providing we could actually send people & machines up to the moon to do crap, it would be just like the colonies. Remember that? Remember how all the countries left the New World alone since "Columbus" discovered it? Oh wait, I didn't get that text book, if I recall correctly, there was a lot of fighting over this new land.
So yes, let's fight over the moon also, because we have run out of things to fight over here on earth.
He may not finish it, but you can be damned sure the producers of the series have a solid plot line at their disposal should he kick the bucket. This is a cash cow of monumental proportions, and they won't let something as minor as the author's death get in the way of continuing production.
I'm more concerned about his book, not the HBO show. It would be very nice if he finished the series in his lifetime, let alone my lifetime.
Ubisoft claims (for what it's worth) that the only digital keys that they revoked were those purchased fraudulently with stolen credit cards.
No one has a right to keep stolen property. If you buy a watch in a pawn shop, and the police come for it because it's stolen, you forfeit the watch. Don't get me wrong - I absolutely detest Ubisoft, ever since XIII, and will never buy another product of theirs...I hope their corporate building burns down, they lose their IP to someone, and the name Ubisoft becomes a curseword...
But at the same time, clamoring that the stolen goods you purchased on the black market were taken away from you doesn't garner sympathy.
You sound like all the losers on reddit that doesn't grasp the reality of the situation.
I'm just going to come out and say that to advertise the card with 4GB, but then disable any amount of it, is false advertising.
i agree. however in this case, all 4 Gigabytes are accessible, they simply aren't accessible at the same speed. the final 500MB is "slow" to access but it's still there and you can still access it.
So the Amiga Chip ram https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... is back in style huh? but seriously, I have a 970 and I'm a bit miffed. Maybe it's time to see if those laser cuts can be bridged...
I think the key question is what happens after the first year? How much does it cost after year 1? If you don't pay will it brick your PC or just stop providing updates?
That isn't free. But then, i never pay for MS products, so it's all free to me regardless.
Heroin was the best medicine I ever had. It calmed me down, made me able to function without the constant "white noise" that makes me so anxious around people. The biggest problem with heroin was its illegality.
How much music has been produced on heroin? Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Keith Richards, Kurt Cobain, Chet Baker, Art Pepper, etc. Obviously you can execute lots of intricate muscle movements to control the sound produced by your instrument, while high. Listen to Charlie Parker Live at Carnegie Hall; it's documented that he shot up right before the concert. Can you hear it in his playing? Can you hear his creativity and energy?
While recording "Kind of Blue" the story goes that all the musicians would be off shooting up before takes. And Kind of Blue sold, and still sells.
In conclusion, heroin is a tool, a technology, a medicine. Give everyone access to all the knowledge we have and let each person decide for themselves. Also, do research to eliminate unwanted side effects, to produce better drugs. And just let ppl choose for themselves.
Heroin is one of the worst drugs I have encountered and used. Very few people can lead a functional life while being a heroin addict. Besides the lying & stealing a person who is addicted will do to their family, there is the mental consequences of it. People that are addicted to heroin are more likely to get mad when something happens, more likely to explode in a rage when shit doesn't go there way. Thinking of others feelings doesn't matter to the heroin addict because all they think about is doing their next fix. Nothing matters but that next fix. Kids are crying, don't care because you are sick and need a fix. Kids are hungry, but you have no food because you need all your money for your next fix.
Fuck heroin and fuck heroin users. There is NO "good" heroin user. Regardless.
By the time I was 10, not only did I have a paper route that took me a few miles from home, I had a bike that gave me greater range. This was the late 70's to early 80's. Was normal. Today we have cellphones, gps and people are tripping because a 6 & 10 year old was walking home together?
I don't believe the USA is more violent then it was before, I believe that people are just more aware of bad shit that happens because you have a non stop stream of information, pictures and videos coming from various sources. Bad shit happens, yes, but it doesn't mean you need to lock your kids in your house and never let them out of your sight.
Not the porn companies. In most cases these aren't even the porn companies. It's a scam. If they can get the ISP to hand over your name... and they can in some cases... then they send you threatening letters: "On suchandsuch date you downloaded our film 'Priests and Alterboys 5' illegally. Pay us $5000 or we will sue you" And then they send it certified mail to your front door. The signature requirement means there's a 50/50 chance they get your wife and how much would you pay to avoid that happening?
The Internet Archive has a laudable goal, but these days they seem to just be shooting for straight-up piracy, not only hosting copies of games that are still for sale, but making them playable right on their site... I mean, they've got Street Fighter II in their arcade section...
To be honest, I'm shocked nobody has sued them yet. They really don't have any fair use defense.
See, this is how the Copyright Cartels want you to think. It's not piracy, and it is fair use. If a owner of any of the software has a problem, they can ask for it to be removed.
We're going about this all wrong. Develop laser pistols before motion scanners. Doesn't help to know where the aliens are if you're shooting lead at them. I suppose you could load up on grenades... And don't bother with medkits until you get power armor.
How about a capability limit? Should be pretty obvious when suddenly an IP address starts getting hit with a lot of traffic. I would think that you could use the data of what the regular traffic is, and when it suddenly spikes by 1000x then you know an attack is on the way. So why couldn't an ISP, who is sending the packets to the server, slow it down when suddenly your getting a way higher number of packets to this server?
Not sure what you are going on about, but here is the reality.
North Korea didn't hack Sony. The President was quick to publicly blame North Korea. Said we would retaliate in some way. North Korea's internet goes down.
What I see is a bully nation, the USA, blaming someone without the facts, saying they'd retaliate, which then someone did retaliate, so the USA is to blame because they incited others, or possibly they themselves are responsible for the internet downtime.
Either way, the USA is the jackass in this whole scenario.
the US & Obama was quick to blame NK, when it was very unlikely they did it, and security experts are pointing out left & right.
Because Obama saying NK did it and we would retaliate, and suddenly NK internet goes down, fuck ya, we are guilty as fuck.
We wrongfully blamed the NK, got people to believe our lies and then DDos or whatever happened to NK's internet. All on our heads.
Our government owes NK a big ass apology and honestly, our government, from the congress critters up to the president, including all the various NSA, CIA, and rest of the stupid shit needs to be replaced.
This is not the America I'm proud of, I'm not a bully and not happy with the bully tactics America does.

Write different software for China and suggest to the rest of the world that they never use the Chinese version of the software.
Problem solved.

Boston Marathon Bomber case comes to mind...
Yes, that comes to mind to me also, proof that the NSA has been wasting our tax payers money for a decade...
It's always set to 4:20.
So they can fight over their users till the cows come home, I don't care. They will be replaced by the next big thing within 5 years anyways.

First, not all mice are same. If you have a problem with clicking the wheel mouse on your current mouse, then get a new brand of mouse.
Next, go to Reddit and post these stupid questions in the /r/pcmasterrace because they are better suited to your stupid fucking questions.
In the future you will die.

And yet I was called a North Korean and other things for saying what is obvious.
