  1. Re:Then Nintendo has a shitty business model on Hackers Seem Close To Publicly Unlocking the Nintendo Switch (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    They already won this battle, as you just can't manufacture a cartridge not approved by nintendo or create parallel game store.

  2. Re:And it runs NetBSD on Hackers Seem Close To Publicly Unlocking the Nintendo Switch (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    In the video they say otherwise.
    It's a variation of the OS used on the 3DS, that while do use some BSD components, is not the BSD kernel.

  3. Re:You shouldn't have to depend on hackers. on Hackers Seem Close To Publicly Unlocking the Nintendo Switch (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Actually, the biggest fear nintendo have is not piracy, but unlicensed games.
    You have to pay a big, big fee to nintendo to manufacture games for it, but if the publishers could avoid it somehow...

  4. I don't think you can use the liberal word to describe those people you're pointing out.
    They're authoritarian as fuck, given all the tendencies of wanting the government to control every aspect of your life and wanting to censor speech.
    Also, as a right winger, you're probably pro nuclear, that is also a clean energy source.

    Don't worry, it only works when nobody is looking at it.

    You probably can do a good product with third world developers if you seek the really skillful ones, but i don't think that companies going to the third world do have skill as any sort of priority.

  7. Re:Dem Hackers on Power Outage Brings CES To a Standstill For Nearly 2 Hours (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It was probably just some guy trying to push a core i9 past 5 ghz.

  8. To not mention cranking the crank of the mechanical workers.

  9. Re:Diversity is dysfunctional. on James Damore Sues Google For Allegedly Discriminating Against Conservative White Men (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, the question i asked him above is actually pointing out a quite hilarious fact of the alt-right vs ctrl-left.
    If you actually look at an typical alt-right reunion, it ends up being a lot more "diverse" than your typical ctrl-left reunion for some bizarre reason.
    And my bet is that it happens due people joining anonymously at the group, and being judged only by their opinions, while the ctrl-left is generally a bunch of rich trust fund kids.

  10. Re:Diversity is dysfunctional. on James Damore Sues Google For Allegedly Discriminating Against Conservative White Men (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    How much of this is actually "racial" vs cultural?
    Would you get along with someone that is from another "race" but share the same values as you or someone of your own "race", but that is for example extreme leftist?

  11. Re:Finally and ignorant aggrieved white person! on James Damore Sues Google For Allegedly Discriminating Against Conservative White Men (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There is no such thing as "reverse racism", racism is racism, and judging people by the color of their skin is always wrong, even if your purpose is to help the person.
    There are no such thing as good racism, as you're always reducing the person to his physical features.

  12. Re:A Good Reason NOT to Ban Trump on Why Twitter Hasn't Banned President Trump (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    That could be said about pretty much anyone on the platform.
    Better to murder the bad ideas in an easy accessible place rather than sweeping under the rug and letting em grow in a platform where no opposition will be found.

  13. It's quite hard to not have an equivalence.
    There are a pool of horrible people looking for an excuse for being horrible, and they will find it on both sides with a bit of distortion.

  14. Re:SJW Marvel on In a Declining Comics Market, DC Beats Marvel (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't think it was the diversity itself, but the whining.
    This "cult" is basically unable to make actually cool characters because the politics IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER and must be hammered and forced down the throat, at a point there's this female thor comic that does very whiny references to the freaking gamergate.

    Meanwhile, everyone, including the intended "minority audience" just move away to japanese mangas and anime, as they deliver the cool stuff.

  15. Re:Trump plans massive prison whining farm on Dutch Utility Plans Massive Wind Farm Island In North Sea (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    I bet you can sell wind farm plans to trump quite easily.
    "See the dutch thing? we will do it, but with BIGGER towers, and eagle wing shaped turbines! it will make em look like complete wimps!"

  16. Re:We need to brutally murder nazi traitor faggots on Facebook's Uneven Enforcement of Hate Speech Rules Allows Vile Posts To Stay Up (propublica.org) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    By my definition you are a nazi, so time to bludgeon you to death with a baby seal.

  17. Re:Why the goal post shift? on How Climate Change Deniers Rise To the Top in Google Searches (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    The ones profiting off Climate change are the sleazy politicans that use it as a bludgeoning weapon and scam companies like the solar roadway bullshit, which in turn is used by the deniers as a weapon to prove they're right as "only scammers support the hypothesis".

    And then we all burn to death in the end because nobody was actually interested in fixing the shit.

  18. Re: Wrong approach, kill the nazi faggots on A Reporter Built a Bot To Find Nazi Sock Puppet Accounts. Twitter Banned the Bot and Kept the Nazis (nytimes.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    If this is the kind of opposition that trump have, he already won.

  19. Re:Santa is a distraction on Resuming Its Annual PR Mission, NORAD Tracks Santa Claus (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    This is why the words (at least the good ones) are more important than the existence of a god or not.
    If you start to bicker about "who's right", well, you end up with bloodshed, even when the words of your god tell you to not.

    His words are more important than his existence.

  21. Re:Liberal way, too on Researchers Ask: Are People Better Off Than 50 Years Ago? (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 2

    Nothing is perfect obviously.
    But when you compare a liberal place like most of the europe or us to some authoritarian conservative/socialist country, well, generally the liberal one have a much better economy and happier people in general.
    It's like that when the population can choose who rules em and can choose who they buy their stuff from, those in power tend to deliver a better service to not lose the spot to their rivals.

  22. Re:The trend here... on Researchers Ask: Are People Better Off Than 50 Years Ago? (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    There are many ways to not do the liberal thing rather than only conservative, and they all fail, sometimes quite drastically.

  23. Re:Prepare for the usual excuses on China Is Building a Solar Power Highway (electrek.co) · · Score: 2

    Don't worry, the technology will get just good enough!

    And somehow the regular solar panels won't take any advantage of the improvements despise being the same thing, except better.

  24. Do your need an R4300 MIPS CPU, SGI coprocessor/3D rasterizer and cartridge slot to run this version?
