  1. Re:not interested...unless. on Windows 10 Will Be Free To Users Who Test It · · Score: 1

    You must have the correct SLIC (Software Licensing Description Table) for OEM activations.

    Does this mean there's some sort of hardware ID magic that happens when you use an OEM copy, or is this saying you must have an OEM copy for the tool to work?

    Shame you can't make an image of MS' activation servers, too, because that's the problem.

    The kind of car I drive doesn't even "shift."

    Well, so it has engaged, engaged-reverse, and disengaged. Doesn't count.

    I'd prefer they shipped uBlock Origin instead, far lighter and works just as well.

    No, DICE. I will not watch your videos. I don't care how long (or short) they are.

  7. Re:Quothe the raven, "Forevermore". on There Is a Finite Limit On How Long Intelligence Can Exist In Our Universe · · Score: 2

    I think eventually, yes. Just as we are not able to sense the vast majority of EM radiation, we mapped the spectrum and can sense most of it - and all we started with was detection of radiative heat and visual light.

    I do think it would have taken much longer to arrive at the understandings we currently hold, but I don't think being able to see visible light was critical to arrive where we are. We would come up with ways to communicate and think about information with the senses we had.

  8. Re:Quothe the raven, "Forevermore". on There Is a Finite Limit On How Long Intelligence Can Exist In Our Universe · · Score: 1

    We would still be able to sense radiative heat, so I don't think not having vision would be enough to blind us (heh) to the presence of light (as light is just a different wavelength of electromagnetic radiation).

    posting selfies of yourself regularly.

    How does one take a selfie of someone else? A self portrait is, by definition, a portrait you take of yourself.

    Rotate the graph in your mind 90-degrees counter-clockwise.

    The problem with AMD drivers (at least when I last tried) is they work great for some cards, and others hardly do anything beyond instigate kernel panics.

  19. Re:No absolute speed governor? on Feds Order Amtrak To Turn On System That Would've Prevented Crash · · Score: 1

    I've played around in a simulator - what's the system that requires the driver to acknowledge speed changes? I think it's popular in Europe. From my understanding, the board makes a noise and a light, and the driver has to mash a button. If they fail to mash the button within the grace period, the train cuts acceleration and applies braking. The idea behind this is to ensure the driver is not inattentive (for whatever reason - heart attack, falling asleep, texting, rock throwing...)

    I don't follow. You have known security vulnerabilities, and you have probabilities for unknown vulnerabilities. The first is fact, and the second is extrapolation (which is different than assumption).

    Stop assuming, because we're talking about security. Assumptions have no place in this discussion.

    If nerds/gamers want to find women who won't reject them, they need to stop being awful people to every girl playing games first.

    The best way to do this is to stop treating them differently from anyone else. They are another person - leave it at that.

    Of course, that depends on you not being a complete scrote to everyone you come across online. Fix that, first.
