I encourage you to commit crimes. Any crime, I don't care as long as it is illegal. I will even pay you $20 to go punch a cop in the face. There you go, next time you get busted for ANYTHING, even a parking ticket, you just tell em I told you to do it. It might not get you out of a ticket, but in your fantasy land I will pay along side you for incitement, right?
Curse all you want, you're still wrong. Go look up "incitement".
Ok, when any DA files charges against any of those Facebook users that "incited" her, you just let me know. Spout ignorant shit all you want, you're wrong.
No. Fuck you. The world is a better place with her dead, and I would suspect you as well.
If the world is a better place with her dead, and Facebook users are responsible, then why would you want charges brought against them? I could give a shit less about the dead lady, she decided to shoot at cops and got shot back. The cunt I was responding to wants murder charges brought against facebook users that "incited her"
Go kill yourself. Kill a bunch of other people too. After you do it, maybe your buddy can bring charges against me.
I'd be willing to bet that 95% of Windows Phone users have never heard of "Here Maps" before. I hadn't. Even Here Maps said that they aren't bothering because most users are perfectly happy with the built in mapping system.
I was unaware there was a built in mapping system for Windows Phone. I never heard of Here Maps/Drive until I got a Lumia 920. They are hands down the best map/navigation apps out there, imo. Nokia had a lot of top-notch apps for Windows Phone. It's too bad no one else did. If you have never used them, and they are supported on your device, I strongly recommend you check them out.
Using hot-button/controversial topics to generate clicks for ad revenue, and then crying when the result is your host gets brought down under the pressure is a bit ironic. SJWs cry for attention and then complain when they get it.
If Bruce truly cares about this issue, perhaps he'll donate all profits from his clickbait article to a charity of his choice.
This is about money and publicity, not social reform.
When there's not, I have developed a strong skill in suckering such blithering idiots into cul de sacs of their own ignorant reasoning, until they are reduced to mumbling to themselves. But, why should I ever have had to DEVELOP that skill?
Because you are a strong person that recognized that overcoming adversity is part of being successful, and developed a strategy to do so.
We are all born the same way, and discover our gender as we grow up...but, due to family influences (e.g., drunken men abusing their wives, "men of the house" who want their women "barefoot and pregnant"), some males grow up with a tacit belief that women are, somehow, inferior to men.
No, we are not all born the same way or into the same circumstances. We are born into a huge variety of different environments and with a complete genetic toss of the dice. You play the cards you're dealt, and hopefully try to do the best you can. Or you can just fold. Expecting everyone to be dealt the same cards is just unrealistic. In general, the more a person has worked to overcome adversity or "injustice", the more I tend to respect them. It's the ones that cry "waahhh, the world is not fair!" that I look upon with disdain.
There's a name for these people: They are BIGOTS (and it often extends to other differences, like cultural heritage, skin color, education, that are patently irrelevant to judging whether the person is "human" or not).
All people are bigots. We're all guilty of bigotry and prejudice at some point, some more so than others perhaps. Trying to eliminate it is an exercise in futility. Recognize it and deal with it (which to your credit, it sounds like you have), but get down off your high horse if you think that you have never been intolerant towards others who have had a different opinion than yourself. I am not saying "yay, bigotry!"; I am saying that it's just a part of life.
Fortunately, not all men are chained to this philosphers' wall, drawing conclusions from shadows and accepting them as fact. There are many men who exhibit humanity and treat ALL others with respect and dignity...and they are a delight to work alongside. Unfortunately, they are outnumbered by the dolts, in my experience.
Welcome to planet Earth. Someday we'll all live in a Utopian society where we'll all be drinking that free bubbalub and eating that rainbow stew. Cherish the good people, and try to work around the bad ones.
Quite honestly, I don't see how it's possible to travel to another star system (let alone back). So I guess sci-fi audiences should write off any sort of movie involving interstellar travel. Even if it were possible via wormhole or warp drive or whatever other invention, the relativistic effects are pretty much never accounted for.
But instead we're quibbling about how scientists would act on another planet.
Look, every sci-fi fan is in the same boat. However I don't understand the level of vitriol towards Prometheus. It's not like every other movie in the Alien franchise didn't have parts that sucked. Molecular acid...xenomorphs...the entirety of Alien 3....I thought Prometheus was a step back in the right direction after Alien 3 and Resurrection (which was at least better than 3). I am continuously amazed at the hatred towards it. It's a great movie.
Ridley Scott has been one of the few movie directors/producers to embrace sci-fi with any amount of success. He is clearly a fan of Philip K. Dick. Let him do his thing and give it a chance.
Yeah, I suppose the critters should have instead launched out of eggs and melted through their helmets./sarcasm
All movies require a certain suspension of disbelief. Still, I will take "two crewmen in a first-contact situation taking their helmets off, running off like ninnies, getting lost, and contaminating themselves." over "Roman emperor fights a gladiator."
Prometheus was light years better than Gladiator. I enjoyed it immensely. If there is any movie in the Alien franchise that absolutely sucked, it was Alien 3.
I am looking forward to 'Man in the High Castle'. Watching episode 1 now.
Most people "outside the bubble" as you put it are probably uninformed and have no idea what flash actually is or that alternatives exist. It is up to proficient, informed and educated people to drive new and better technology forward. If all you care about is watching mindless shit on Hulu, than there are literally hundreds of viable solutions to do so. For christ's sake, the article was in reference to a new (albeit the last) version of flash for linux.
Please leave your landline number, and I'll be happy to call you when HTML5 is the no shit standard. Since not everyone has moved on to cell phones, skype, instant messaging, facebook, twitter and email yet, I assume this will be the only way to reach you. Or maybe I could just send you a messenger with a clay tablet or papyrus scroll.
I love my Xtreamer. Best $99 I ever spent. I use it solely for streaming media from my file server, but it has some sort of capability for internet streaming as well.
It'll play any format/container I've thrown at it. It's small and quiet. The company is very good about making updates/bugfixes available. I have absolutely no use for Apple or Google TV.
Why write a new Linux when Solaris already does such a fine job scaling to large numbers of cores/threads? OpenIndiana is just getting off the ground, but it's open source, free, and works now.
Any 14 year-old could probably make an atomic bomb with a critical mass of uranium or plutonium. Such a bomb would be huge and require lots of shielding to be safe to handle - like attaching to
an aircraft or loading into a shipping container.
Err, a bare-sphere (no neutron energy manipulation or reflective shielding) critical mass of a plutonium-239 core is only 10kg and with the density of plutonium that translates to a sphere smaller than an orange (9.9cm to be exact).
The reason the original plutonium weapons were so huge is because of low purity of the fissionable materials available, massive over engineering resulting from poor understanding of materials and nuclear processes etc
On the other hand, what is required to detonate a subcritical mass is a little bit tricky.
No such thing exists. All nuclear explosions are accomplished by achieving criticality in some fission material. The critical mass however varies with shape and external factors such as shielding materials capable of changing energies of neutrons or reflecting them back onto their source, temperature of the material, its degree of compression etc.
That sounds very credible, but the handle IgnoramusMaximus does not.
If this goes to court they have a great case against the finder of the iPhone and Gizmodo. Can't say I feel sorry for any of them
I do feel a bit sorry for them.
I don't feel that the "theft" was a malicious act to deprive someone of property, as much as it was an attempt to cash in on cheap opportunity. Apple got their property back, and it didn't cost them anything other than admitting that it was theirs.
I think they way that Gizmodo and the guy that found it acted was certainly a bit stupid and shortsighted, but unless the guy that "found it" picked Gray Powell's pocket for the thing, calling it "theft" seems a bit of a stretch to me.
Any way you slice it, Apple sure got a whole lot buzz about the next iPhone as a result. I don't know how any reasonable person could think that a new generation iPhone wasn't due in the very near future. The three stooges (Gray Powell, Jason Chen and the dude that found it) that brought them all that buzz are probably going to pay a good deal for it. The letter of the law may very well be against them (IANAL), but personally, I see it as a case of three probably otherwise reasonable guys, making some dumb mistakes and no one getting hurt. Don't we have rapists and murderers and, you know, people that really steal shit to prosecute in this country?
The Navy will simply subcontract-out to Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and other defense companies to upgrade all their systems from XP to Windows 7 and fix any programs that "break" as a result.
You are high on crack and it is very obvious that you have never dealt with NMCI. NMCI just updated to XP about 2 years ago from Win2k. A lot of apps did break and it took over a year to get some of them working. When you are dealing with a contractor that runs a network of over 300,000 computers for the entire Navy and Marine Corps, mission-critical takes on a very literal meaning.
The Navy does not own these computers and could not sub-contract out any of the work you suggested to third parties. NMCI provides all the computers and the required support for them. Either NMCI will have to find a way to fix the problem themselves or a way to work around it.
For now it's OS X. On the desktop and for my needs, nothing else even comes close in terms of reliability, ease of use and looking pretty. It's all about the right tool for the job. Every OS, even (ugh) Windows has it's specific strengths and weaknesses. All depends on what your needs are.
I really don't think OpenSolaris's strengths and weaknesses make it a very logical choice for most people as a desktop OS, but for someone to write it off for that reason is stupid.
Who said anything about using it for a desktop?? I use OpenSolaris at home to run my NAS for one reason: ZFS. I strongly considered using BSD, but figured OpenSolaris was a better choice for my needs. So far I have had zero issues with it. It just sits in a room and quietly does what it was supposed to do. I am sure I would never try to use it for a desktop OS, but then again I'd never use Linux, BSD or Windows either.
For that matter, why try and hack Linux on to a desktop??

Put it this way: A. There are some countries who should not be allowed nuclear weapons because they will probably use them.
There is only one country that has used nuclear weapons in an offensive manner. Should the United States not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons?
