even if that leads to major spoilers for them and everyone they share it with.
While most people say they hate spoilers, there's a number of studies out there that show when you measure it, people actually enjoy movies MORE when they know in advance what is going to happen.
This is because people actually don't like being surprised, but confuse their desire for novelty with a desire for surprise. This makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint: surprise means having a lion unexpectedly jump out of a bush onto you. It's not something creatures would evolve to active seek out.
The FCC isn't saying accusing John Oliver of launching a cyber attack, they're same some third party launched an attack to stop John Oliver's audience from being able to leave comments.
The current speed of light is clearly racist against indigenous Hawaiians. We need to expand federal net neutrality regulations to require telecommunications companies to use faster light on the cables connecting Hawaii to the mainland./sarc
My personal feeling is that Joel too frequently let his pride get in the way of what was best for the comedy. He was in a straightman role but hated being the straightman because it often meant the jokes were at his expense. This led to him stepping on jokes by having to get in the final word after the actual punchline.
Mike realized his job was to be the robot's buttmonkey and was fine playing the buttmonkey.
Is the new MST3K really the new MST3K or is Rifftrax still the true successor to the series?
Not seen the new ones yet, but I'm not really excited by the fact that the only person from the original still involved seems to be Joel, who I never found that funny.
I'm planning to replace my current Windows 7 system with a Linux system, and graphics passthrough is one of the bits I'm still trying to figure out. Could you elaborate on what you meant here, because I wasn't aware of any advantages to AMD GPUs.
Local unions might be a good idea, but the AFL/CIO style national unions are themselves big corrupt corporations, so in practice being unionized just means you have two sets of rich people screwing you over.
Oh, for god's fsck'ing sake... anyone older than roughly 30 who grew up in a real city probably ingested more lead by his 10th birthday than kids born today will likely encounter during their entire LIVES.
Which is why the crime rate has dropped 60% since the early 90s: because we stopped exposing all of our kids to chronic lead poisoning.
The Battlestar Galactica reboot was important as it was one of the first mainstream media shows to deal with post 9/11 War on Terrorism from a critical perspective. That's why the Cylons looked the same as the humans, it was a metaphor for an enemy that is distributed among you and completely indistinguishable from you. The show how the growing paranoia and willingness to keep cutting ethical corners in the name of safety gradually ended up destroying the humans far more effectively than the actual threat of the Cylons did.
The show lost its edge when it stopped exploring that metaphor.

Anonymous Coward's votes are clearly Dalit.

...cannot hope to change an opinion that wasn't arrived at rationally to begin with.

Well, the first person to survive being in space, if you believe the conspiracy theory.
What do you get when you cross Stockholm Syndrome with The Nuremberg Defense?
Because they have sufficient political power that they can commit fraud with impunity.
Odd Acquisitions To Have
Is that it's an open architecture, so you can e-mail anyone, no matter who their provider is.
Unlike every other internet messaging format which only works for people who have signed up with that specific provider.
Do the people so outraged by the singular they also insist on still using "ye" and "thou" on account of "you" being purely a plural pronoun?

Like how Heartbleed was immediately noticed and didn't sit there for two years.
This is one of those things Open Source proponents keep saying that isn't actually true, because people aren't really auditing the code.
Which is why the crime rate has dropped 60% since the early 90s: because we stopped exposing all of our kids to chronic lead poisoning.
Only until we edit out their impulse control genes!
...is not to put your business critical infrastructure in a place where a third party has the power to unilaterally cut off access to it.
An operation the size of PewDiePie should have their own video distribution system so that YouTube can't just cut them off from their users.
The subcontractor was named...

Steam has been collecting VAT. That's part of why the games are geolocked.
Obviously this means that companies outside the EU have to collect VAT on all transactions in case the person might be from the EU.
You know, for "consumer protection".
It will also be interesting to see how the EU feels when their tax revenue dries up because people buy games from outside the EU to avoid the VAT.
