Yes, Numb3rs 10 years ago. I loved that show, so much math and Machine Learning. I learned a lot of stuff just because I saw it first in some episode and later hit the library to get more info.
Similar thing happened to me ~10 years ago(another EU country). National Telecom kept insisting I owed them money, when I called to see WTF is going on not so helpfuldesk assistant said he can see my payment and it cleared but system still wants moar money, he knows its a glitch and I can ignore it. A month later I get a bill for 2x what they imagined I owed them plus interest. I called again, asked for name of helpdesk guy, asked him to check it and informed next bill comes like this I will be reporting fraud to the police with his name attached - he cleared whole thing in 10 minutes.
Yes, this was very asshole of me, but it goes to show where is a will, there is a way.
I'm not going to be called paranoid now when I assert that the government has a social media strategy, and that they know how to play on people's vanities in order to manufacture consent.
Of course they do. Just this year we got not one, but two Hie Hard remake MURICA FUCK YEAH in PRESIDENT WE TRUST movie blockbusters.
You are boring and arguing for the sake of arguing. Opera made innovative fully customizable browser. Now they are just google's bitch making clone of Chrome.
I am not the original OP in this thread. But I know the condition and armchair "throttle the internet, this will motivate him" is bullshit. Have you ever motivated a plant to do something for you? Or a cat?
This model seems to work on Steam and TODAY nobody is bad-mouthing Steam after over a decade of DRM-encumbered operation.
Nobody in US where consumer protection means protecting corporations from users. Germany is suing Valve over steam no resale policy, they did it after landmark case versus Oracle that reinforced right to resale software..
Charging him for anything would require that he have a way to pay for it.
Then take the internet and games away from him. Then you'll see if he's motivated by something external. He'll find a way to make money; you won't always be there to make decisions for him.
Wont work, he will just lay on the bed 24/7. The only "easy" fix is chemistry (vitamins, antidepressants).
But they didnt remove anything. They STOPPED MAKING browsers. Now they take Chromium codebase, add their skin and call it a day. As a user I dont care about them contributing to some rendering engine if the end product is no longer a browser I was using.
I suppose you think the major AAA title games engines are written by incompetent developers too then, right?
Major AAA titles nowadays tend to be released on licensed engines written by competent people. But we do get a lot of hilariously badly written games like World Of Tanks (Python=single threaded, engine originally intended for Korean point and click mmrpgs), EVE Online (Python even server side = single threaded bottlenecks everywhere. Most recent "innovation" slows time to handle lag).
Its sad when places like Facebook have the best approach to solving computational problems (I especially like their disaggregated rack project).. just so they can serve advertisements quicker.
So glad this was only 3 satellites, rather than 3 cosmonauts.
Why? There is 7 billion of us on this rock. Are you one of those 100% safety nuts that are willing to sacrifice progress because we might lose 0.00000000014 of our population? Cant risk hurting three Astronauts, better spend $100 Billion more on this project, meanwhile 3 people die in car accident every 10 minutes on average.
You cannot elect a President if General Alexander can go through the candidates and pick out any that he doesn't like and leak their phone calls.
You also cant be a CIA director and run around ordering internal security audits in CIA, David Petraeus learned that the hard way - they character assassinated him using his gmail.
If it ever gets approved to civilian passenger use, the flight deck would be impregnable from the passenger cabin. All controls will be locked and so even if a terrorist gains access he/she would not be able to direct the plane to high value target.
planes are fly by wire nowadays, there is no need to touch flight sticks, those are just potentiometers with force feedback, plane brain is in the lower decks next to cargo hold.
Its funny you link to a quote by David Petraeus - he was Character assassinated by very same CIA/private contractors running surveillance show as soon as he announced CIA security audit.
No, Manning and Snowden are whistleblowers, they sacrificed everything for the truth, Sigurdur Thordarson is an FBI snitch and traitor that spied on his employer for money.
If apps start requiring Directx 11.n and, as a result, I cannot run those apps on Windows 7; then that will be one more reason why Windows is no longer a solution for me.
.
There will be some minor games, mostly published by M$/M$ owned publishers that will claim they are direct Xone80 ports egro they require 11.2. Same way as there are games that dont start on XP right now (Xcom for example, Age of empires HD), and when you look deeper it turns out they were compiled specifically to exclude XP and all it takes to run them is simple API shim (Xcom doesnt start because it expects Vista File API for directory listing, NOTHING else).
First Microsoft releases an awful version of Windows (8.0), then Microsoft backtracks (temporarily?) and restores some useful functionality that was removed (emphasis on some).
What exactly did they backtrack on? Start button? Its not a Start button - it doesnt take you to the start menu, its a METRO button and it does same thing pressing Win key did, it takes you into METRO.

Try typing that question into your Windows 8.1 search bar.

Its not false and it wont be false until I can right click in Opera >=15 and see "edit site preferences"

aww thats cute, you expected them to be competent. They write heavy computational problems in Python.
>using a combination of C++ and Python

So they are UI company now. Still not a browser company,

Of course not! It would be like riding in elevator without a lift man.
if your applications use lots of disk reads/writes and network IO with the cpu in a waiting state then you can save power by using a lower end gear.
or you can add ramsan/flashsystem and enjoy 21 century.
Ever been to Shenzhen?

you will need 3 x USRP first
Its not WiFi. They could of named it seeing through walls using Microwave Oven and be as accurate as now.

Idiot summary. Its OpenGL 4.3/OpenGL 4.4
