Video games are the big evil. They are murderer trainers and hacking instructors. They fill our kids with all sort of evil ideas and shows them how to properly and easily do them in the real world.
Fucking twats. People been hacking non electric street signs since those have been coming out. And I'm pretty sure you'll find other peeps have been hacking electric sings way before this (I know I've seen them). What makes this big? Oh ya, a video game came out where you can hack signs. Easy to blame the game, since obviously video games are responsible for the shooting the other day also.
Don't worry, you'll be able to understand simple concepts again when the LSD wears off. Until then there must be more interesting things than posting on slashdot for you to do!
You might think you are saving money, but it's actually a net loss for everyone if one of the ways that kid is undercutting lawn services is by not paying taxes on that income. You are only doing society a disservice by paying someone under the table instead of hiring a legally registered firm that withholds taxes for its employees.
What? Seriously, how much taxes do you think is going missing from that?
please, the Gov. waste more money on air conditioning in Afghanistan.
I'm guessing it's election time and people need to justify their budgets and keep other things out of the lime light.

If you built a car whose headlights could accelerate the car in reverse with photonic pressure, the headlights would vaporize a considerable chunk of the planet in front of you...
That seems pointless, because you are going in reverse, think you'd want to vaporize the stuff that would be in the way.
However you feel about Snowden this isn't debatable. And, he's basically pissed away the whistleblower defense by breaking the leaker's code (make all your evidence publicly available to all members of the media, discriminating in what information you leak to focus on wrongdoing by your government, and attempting to reduce "harm"). So, regardless of fairness he'd be accepting the reality of a long jail term if he comes back to the US.
That isn't what happened. And so what if it did? How we feel about Snowden is debatable, you just want us to think it's not. I don't accept your reality because it's flawed.
Can you imagine parsing a stack trace or equivalent from one of these? Each stack is different.
Ignoring the fact that Heisenbugs would be much more prevalent.
Part of programming is paring of states. The computer is an (effectively) infinite-state machine. When you add bounds and checks you're reducing the number of states. This would add a great deal, making bugs more prevalent. Since a lot of attacks are based on bugs, this may increase the likelihood of some attacks.
I don't know about you, but with the limited programming I have, I'd save this new compiler for release version and use a normal compiler for internal version, so I can debug and make sure it's working great. Then I'd use the new compiler for the.exe I'm going to produce and give to people (sell/whatever).
Hopefully by then most the major bugs are found. If not, I can compile the source code on a normal compiler and do normal debugging.
Value, Steam, um, look, your controller is a great idea and maybe it's for the masses who think the using controllers is the way to go, but I am not one of them. In fact, I'm a PC gamer of many decades. I don't want a fucking controller from you, I want the steam box. Most the games I'm going to play will require a keyboard & mouse for best use. I'm cool with that.
But trying to make the one controller to rule them all is going to fuck you in the ass.
If your hardware (Steam Box) is finished, then I suggest you just bundle a normal controller with it, and start selling them. The "real" controller you can introduce next year when ever you decide you made it right.
Not quite true - there are some people out there with genuinely altruistic motivations. It's just that the West has managed to make a religion out of selfishness, so they're few and far between, and often lambasted.
Uncle Ben summed it up. With great power comes great responsibility. The wiki, once it gathered power, stopped being responsible to the people and instead decided to cash in.
This is what happens in a capitalistic world. Shit, it happened here. A corporation bought out the owners of slashdot and now we are having a problem between how slashdot has been and how they want to change it (slashdot beta). The corp only cares about money. When you have something successful like the wiki, corporations start flexing their cash at the person(s) in charge, and of course, greed seems to always win in the end.
Good old capitalism. Guaranteed to bring out the greed bastards to fuck your life over, in the name of profit.
Unfortunately the screwy way copyright and the like work in the US, you get stupid things. Like my parents can't even make a digital print of their wedding picture. Because it's technically copyright to the photographer (who's dead) and the studio (which has been out of business for 35 years).
Never mind that the picture was a work for hire. Never mind that they're the subjects of the picture. Never mind that the picture itself is fading and they're doing this for preservational purposes.
I'm sorry, who is the stupid people here?
The people who make the laws without realizing the consequences that law will have every situation, or your parents (actually I'm referring to you, because you know better) for letting a stupid law trump common sense and digital preservation of something that is important to them, and in extent, your whole family?
Granted I know you are making an example, but it sucks. You are saying your parents can't make a digital copy of their wedding photos, when they can very much go make a digital copy of their photos. No one will stop them. Unless someone in their family got all bent out of shape because that broke some copyright law no one knows or cares about and won't let your parents make copies of them (and yes, I am looking at you for this.)
So either your story is bullshit, or you just made up parts to fit the convo here. Or I guess you are dumber then a box of rocks and the apple didn't fall far from the tree?
... Then, offer them like cell phones. Charge less up front but only a bit less. Quit selling junk and hoping to cheat everybody on ink. Let me sign up for a quality service and ink renewal plan that works like a cheaper version of a smart phone. Make it as trouble free and pain free as your average smart phone. I'll sign up tomorrow.
Yes, just like cell phones. You only get to print 1000 sheets of paper on your current plan and it cost an extra $5 per page printed above that.
And I could go on, but I think everyone gets the point.
I learned how to solve it via a book in the late 70's and still today I can muscle memory the solution. couldn't tell you how to do that solution, but my hands still know what to do.
No, the news is that despite the supposed higher tax rate, the Canadian middle class is doing better than the American one, and the average Canadian is doing better than the average American.
Perhaps it is just me, but I fail to see any benefit to this whatsoever. seems completely pointless, everything from windows to many distros of linux already can run on a USB stick and a USB stick doesn't solve the problem of internet access, a computer or more importantly the food and water they lack. I guess at least it gives them something to sell at the markets for a couple of bucks to buy something useful.
This is the modern day Sally Struthers. Instead of parading little starving kids across the TV, we have "tech" solutions to make our selves better for how life is in Africa since we really do NOTHING to help have a better life.
Because we know having access to computers & internet are going to feed their starving children, just like it feeds ours.
This is how people think they are helping the poor countries by making shit they really have no use for, but it makes us feel better about them starving. Doesn't fix the starving mind you, but it makes us feel better. Not them, but US.
The one that challenges the Republican views that:money is speech, and since the rich have more money they should get to decide what speech I should listen to.
You think the view is exclusive to Republicans? Then you either don't pay enough attention, or you need your head examined.

And the global dictatorship is slowly being pieced together.
And citizens do nothing, amazingly. People with any knowledge of history should be scared shitless - I know I am.
And soon it'll be too late to do anything about it...
Short of a bloody revolt, what exactly can the citizens do about it?
Protest, take it to the streets, hold signs that say "No Secret Courts".
Make a big nuisance so everyone knows what's going on.
It at least, is a start before the revolution (which I agree is probably going to be needed in the States and the UK).
Don't worry, you'll be able to understand simple concepts again when the LSD wears off. Until then there must be more interesting things than posting on slashdot for you to do!
Spoken like someone who has never taken LSD.
Better? Say, where is that magical land where the drugs are BETTER today?
If anything, you get more junk, more crap, more additives and less of the good stuff.
Weed is better today then it has been in the past.
Wonder if he's as bad at sex as he is at editing?

I don't have a OR, I don't think he's put the files out for you to play it on your OR.
And facebook owns OR now, so that sort of puts a damper on potential buying.
Still, stuff like this seems pretty damn cool.

You have no idea of what they need and what they need it for.
You keep using that word. I am not sure it means what you think it means.
I bet you are the life of the party and everyone loves you when you argue with them.
Except most Windows 7 editions doesn't support Bitlocker - only Enterprise and Ultimate.
I'm wondering who the fuck trusts MS enough to use Bitlocker. I don't.

No, the news is that despite the supposed higher tax rate, the Canadian middle class is doing better than the American one, and the average Canadian is doing better than the average American.

Remember during the sequester, the Democrat President shut down public access to the White House, but sold access to "donors" at half-a-million a pop.
Not to mention, >8 of the 10 richest Congressional districts are represented by Democrats, not to mention the fact that7 of the 10 richest Congresscritters are also Democrats.
With apologies to Charles Baudelaire - "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that Republicans are the party of the rich."
What does it matter? Both parties serve the corporations.
Good, the hand held gaming console is dead...
No it's not. You are just too stupid to realize the world doesn't evolve around what you and your friends do.
Yep, time to rename politicians from "Politician" to "Hot Air Blower"
