So fuck him, and fuck his browser. And fuck his company.
Oh, I'm with you. I learned long ago with Microsoft that you use what parts work, jettison the rest. It's actually taught me a good lesson about technology: Never fall in love with a company. Also, when it comes to technology, "ABS": Always Be Suspicious.
Who comes up with these idiotic names? Why not "Microsoft Nail" or "Microsoft Lance" or "Microsoft Thing That Penetrates"?
"Microsoft Edge" is a very '90s name to my ears, but maybe it's just the fact that I've been sitting on the porch drinking, eating barbecue and watching fireworks for the past several hours. But Microsoft was never really good at names, although I did once have a three-legged dog named "Clippy" (that's actually true).
Plus, the seizure lawsuit didn't really hurt the popularity (or profitability) of Pokemon. I wonder if the lawsuit didn't in fact make the game more popular among a certain sector of gamers.
I doubt it would have been as good as you think. HE wanted to change some major plot devices like the role of *Melange*.
It didn't have to be as good as I think. It only had to be a singular vision from a cinematic shaman. With all the sequels and "re-boots", it's not like any one film has to be THE film. Just look at the Lynch version. Even with all the holes and miscues, bad decisions and questionable choices, it's still a terrific experience. Better in many ways than the book.
I trust genius. Herbert wrote a good, workmanlike book, but Jodorowsky, like Lynch, is a visionary.
Operators seemed to be much more polite. It is possible that the military co-opting of the word, "drone," followed by civilian adoption of it has led to a change in operational attitudes.
Did you hover your model airplanes over big crowds of people?
And you know what? I bet at some point someone died of natural causes by watching a movie, just as someone will die of natural causes from watching a VR game. Nobody's going to "die of fright" from playing a CAPCOM horror game.
Also, in popular culture a "ban" is almost always a great way to promote sales. CAPCOM's just trying to sell some video games with a more sophisticated, up-to-date version of, "If you have heart disease or are weak of constitution, you should DEFINITELY NOT see this film!".
Many moons ago, I got tired of what was on the radio, and I built a pirate FM station. It had a studio supplied with over 50 volunteer DJs, but most of all it had the transmitter up in the mountains, with a UHF uplink system, to allow for very broad coverage of our city. I made the uplink transmitter form a 1985 Motorola cell phone, the old brick type. It was suitably modified to put out wideband FM audio. You might be able to read about it by Googling "Radio Limbo Tucson".
Like hell. I'm talking to KiA and if there are any "grown adults" there, you're going to have to prove it.
We are the same free minded geeks who have been around since Internet day 1
No, you're not. You weren't born on the Internet's "day one". I was there on the other hand, and the people I knew back then would have had pieces of Gamergaters/MRAs/KiAs/and/pol in their crap. You guys aren't fit to name the people who were there at the Internet's day one.
It's getting tiresome to have the open, free, principled sites and communications networks we built being labeled as "septic tanks" by the likes of yourself
Then keep them from becoming septic tanks. As I said, "learn how to behave".
There are 2 billion people online, we built this network for them
You didn't build shit.
You people are the creationists of the internet, and you are not taking us back to the stone age.
You've got a fair amount of evolving to do before you make it to the Stone Age.
Or, you know, they could just learn how to behave a little bit. If you want Reddit to be a KiA septic tank, don't cry when someone decides to have you pumped out just because it's stinking up the neighborhood.
Ever listen to football commentary or basketball? Its all color commentary or idiotic observations like "team X won because they scored more points"... no shit, fucktards.
You must have lousy sports coverage in your town, or maybe you just haven't listened to a game in a long time. You get continual analytics in most cases, and statistics that actually mean something. Occasionally, you'll get a fossil like Hawk Harrelson who's just a curmudgeon but even in that case, they teamed him with Steve Stone, who can break down pitch location, OBP, WAR numbers, BABIP, FIP and xFIP.
At least in this town, it's the same for basketball and football, though there haven't been as many advanced statistics developed for those sports. Maybe it's just because Bill James got the ball rolling (sorry) sooner for baseball. But all the announcers are pros and not a single one will give you the kind of obvious nonsense you describe.
Even the hockey coverage in town, whether you're listening to John Weideman and Troy Murry on the radio or Eddie Olczyk on TV, these are guys who will drop numbers on you and give you insights you probably wouldn't have noticed even if you were sitting behind the glass.
Naw man, there hasn't been a "Team X won because they scored more points" in a long while.
We don't need analytics
But people who pay attention to e-Sports and aren't dumb fucks like you might have an interest in analytics. Some people who are interested in video games care about more than whether the female announcer is showing cleavage. One minute you talk about how e-Sports announcers are so great because they give you the "micro" in Starcraft, and then you say you don't need analytics. Do you know what anaylytics are? And did I mention that you're a dumb fuck?
And there are more people who believe (terrestrial) solar energy will become economically viable but think castles in the skies of Venus are just that. Castles in the air.
To be fair, we have solar energy, getting more economical by leaps and bounds, while our rockets are still blowing up at launch.
I always get a kick out of the fact that some of the same people who think solar energy will never be viable will embrace the idea of human colonies in the clouds over Venus or on Mars.
Could not one of average intelligence yet above-average perseverance perform an experiment building on another's experiment and be called a "successful" scientist.
Maybe, but they still have to write it up and get it published, and that's where the above-average intelligence comes in. There are drones in science, like in every field, but they don't get "successful" without publishing. And often that means working with others, and working with others requires above-average intelligence.
Intelligence is of little concern and to be honest I'd like to know what defines intelligence.
If only there was some sort of reference that we could use to find such a definition...
"noun 1. the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills."
or...
" A very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience. It is not merely book learning, a narrow academic skill, or test-taking smarts. Rather, it reflects a broader and deeper capability for comprehending our surroundings—"catching on," "making sense" of things, or "figuring out" what to do.""
No matter how you define, it is most definitely not the same as "education". I'm not sure if you've ever gotten a PhD or been on PhD committees or been an adviser to PhD candidates, but "education" only gets you partway there (and not that big a part).

He didn't say "no extensions". He said,
I can imagine Microsoft not allowing certain extensions if they will affect their "strategic partners".
Plus, the seizure lawsuit didn't really hurt the popularity (or profitability) of Pokemon. I wonder if the lawsuit didn't in fact make the game more popular among a certain sector of gamers.
I bet I'm not the only one who thinks, upon seeing the seizure warning at the beginning of video games, "Oh, this gonna be good".
That says it all, right there.
No matter what you think of the book, I hope you don't believe that every movie version has to stick slavishly to "canon".
It didn't have to be as good as I think. It only had to be a singular vision from a cinematic shaman. With all the sequels and "re-boots", it's not like any one film has to be THE film.

I can't think of Frank Herbert's Dune without sadness over the fact that Alejandro Jodorowsky didn't get to finish his movie version.

Where the real 'Murikans hang out on the 4th of July.
Because we know Alex Jones would never, ever say anything that's not the God's truth.
Drones will give me an opportunity to test my flechette minigun.

Horror movies used to have these warnings, and like this one, they were nothing but marketing.
Here's a poster from an old William Castle horror flick where they promise to insure you for $1000 against death by fright.

You're completely clueless, aren't you? As long as you've been around here, you honestly don't know what those dates mean? And what they don't?
You're my hero.

This is the only reason people live in Canada. Because if you're high enough, you don't really care about the climate.

I love stories like this one, which are proven conclusively in the comments section under them.
