    Yes, and back in the day it also seemed like electricity would become too cheap to meter. Nice dreams, but the real world is unexpectedly complicated.

    TFS was all about Lime and Bird, which in my city operate as legal licensed businesses.

    Please, please post a link to any video of you kicking over hot dog carts or espresso stands!

    Yes indeed. Aside from checking on Aunt Doris, using Facebook is like playing the lottery. A few people with the "best" lives or most sympathetic stories win, and everybody else loses.

  8. GTA V seems to have much less server-side control than most multiplayer games. There's such a huge disconnect there that they can't even tell when somebody gave themselves a billion dollars overnight. I'm guessing it was an architecture choice to save them hosting costs, or some other form of "being cheap", but whatever the reason, client-side hax have been rife since the beginning. Rockstar seems to have done all they can on the client, short of verifying code in-memory, and pretty much still just relies on player reports leading to suspensions, and eventual bans.

    The end is already here. Four way stops are being replaced by roundabouts that are too small to function properly, and only the strongest can survive the trip through. It's Thunderdome, man, THUNDERDOME.

    That horse is out of the barn and into the next county already. And China has a very good harness on it. (Back in my day, we had horse analogies)

    Yeah, I wish they'd sell it to EA and then they could sell me a new version every year or so with slightly better graphics and...hopefully...ROYALE.

  15. Re:ARRL on It's Ham Vs.Ham As Radio Amateurs Are In Conflict At ARRL (perens.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Same here - Extra and have been licensed for over 35 years, and I have always seen the ARRL as just like every other dominant hobby organization -- corrupted by money, self-preservation, and leaders who enjoy political role-playing. But then I'm just a lowly experimenter who rarely transmits and not a whacker https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Whacker/, so I'm probably in the minority.

  16. Bloomberg had several fake sources inside the industry about the details, including Apple themselves.

    There, fixed that for you.

  17. Re:I have been told to slow down by my cow orkers on The Coders Programming Themselves Out of a Job (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 2

    More work for the same money is definitely a risk of not pacing yourself. People need to make sure they are getting at least some long term benefit for this from their company or it's not worth it. Getting sentenced to surf /. and reddit though -- that's just cruel.

    Like if the circuit oscillates. I didn't see it but they did mention an inductor and "pulses"...

    Nope, the "big U" Universe is always the ultimate free lunch.

    Who really thinks that any one country has any say over whether such weapons will be developed? BTW: How is this different from worrying about the same kind of scenarios involving, say, a bunch of F-35s? Not really, I would say, as those killer robots wouldn't get far either without ample human arming and maintenance.

    While I kind of like the ring of being called "Jesus moron", you really should read threads carefully and from the top down. If you had you could have saved yourself a bunch of typing and excitement.

    You and I understand these distinctions, but the effect for the non-technical user, who the browser makers have labored to shelter and make as ignorant as possible (i.e. hiding URLs, protocols, etc.), is HTTP = bad, HTTPS = good. No website will want to be "bad", so they will all move to HTTPS, which is really not "just a good thing anyway" for the internet or the environment, if you think about the immense volume of traffic to which it would add the inefficiencies of (in some cases another layer of) encryption.
