Considered the last of Heinlein's juveniles, Starship Trooper is a Hugo winner and a true classic. Paul Verhoeven's movie is a travesty, raped the book, and doesn't deserve to carry the title.
What a great article. The writer slammed one right out of the park! As a retired IT guy, with suck vision, I curse Jony Ives and his ilk daily.
My biggest hate is scroll-bars. Pale grey with a very slightly darker grey thumb that's usually impossible to see. I don't find Windows 10 to be much better.
Thank God for Linux. I develop using QT so I use all three platforms regularly.
Peter Jackson ripped the soul out of Lord of the Rings when he neglected to film The Scouring of the Shire. No one who loves Tolkien expected anything better this go-around.
Sony produced a picture "The Interview" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt27... where two tmz-like "journalists" score an interview with fan Kim Jong-un, but the CIA wants them to asassinate him instead. DPRK is supposedly way pissed, asked Sony to dump the picture, sony says hell no, and here we are.
The initial stories of the purchase made sure to note that this was a "personal purchase" by Bezos. If WP is going to embed ads, is a digital subscription going to become part of Amazon Prime?
This is crazy. We've allowed our kids to be overloaded with homework; now we're letting the education lobby steal summer vacation. Once the state is able to jack the retirement age up to 85 or so we'll have the perfect hive society.
The Nook Simple Touch (E-Ink) reader hardware is excellent and IMO way better than the E Ink Kindle. The firmware handles sideloaded epub books with ease and there's also a slot for an sdcard, something sadly lacking on the Kindle.
no usb port. no way to play truly local content. and you have to transcode, it seems, to meet the player's profiles. the player should play EVERY format, but this one does not. in this day and age, to release a player that has limits seems pretty braindead to me.
Luckily, none of that's true.
Plex is working w/o transcoding, XBMC is working with minor glitches, The USB port works with a keyboard and mouse, and with 3rd-party wired controllers (no USB storage yet), and all video formats seem to work. Pretty good start for a couple of days after release!
XBMC's Gotham release already runs on this device and XDA members are sideloading apps already. It's early days for the FireTV, but it looks promising.
Sutter's not a no-value-added middleman. He's the showrunner for SoA. Creator, primary writer,etc. I agree he's wrong-headed regarding IP, and a clown.

Crazy talk, huh?
What a pleasure it was to see rockets land like God and Robert A. Heinlein intended!

Sure they do. Google Daily Stormer.

My dot is very useful in conjunction with Alexa Harmony remote skills for my home theater.
"Alexa, turn on Fire": Starts TV,receiver,Fire TV & Kodi.
"Alexa, "Turn on Shield": Starts TV,receiver, Nvidia Shield & Kodi.
"Alexa, turn off Fire/Alexa turn off Shield": reverse the above.
"Alexa, Connect phone": Starts the receiver, toggles bluetooth and links to phone for streaming.
"Alexa, drop in on...": The Echo Show makes an excellent home intercom system and link my home office and my wife's sewing room.
Privacy is an illusion in 2017 anyway.
Sell me macOS to use on the Intel box of my choice or in a VM. Thanks!

Why is the woman that destroyed HP considered to be presidential material?
Very sad day. Watched Amok Time this evening with tears in my eyes. ST:TOS was the best of them all, and now one by one the crew is passing...

Anyone looking at life in prison for a non-violent drug crime is living under an unjust system.
But not enough to justify a pair of full-price tickets. I will give it this; it was better than any Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey movie I've seen.
The Rankin & Bass animated Hobbit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... is truer to the source material than this bloated mess.

There's got to be a better way!

There's no doubt in my mind that if the Sony case were being heard today, the VCR would be ruled an infringing device.
