To be fair to Leslie Jones, she could say that with a face that makes you think she is about to rip your arm off and beat you to death with it... And be entirely joking.... But she will never admit it was a joke, and if you don't get that it was a joke it is your fault for not understanding her...

This is exactly what has gone wrong with Star Wars as well.... They went outside the lines with Midi-chlorians and such in the prequels. Then in the sequels they did the same with things like hyperspace capable planet destroying mid-flight splitting beams apparently instantly visible from any...

Sounds like the government over there is trying to foment rebellion against themselves to me. Nothing like watching people constantly and oppressing them based on what they do to really piss people off.... This kind of thing only works if the punishment is harsh enough to take away their ability...

The thing is that the game itself was never actually bad. It just wasn't even close to what they said it would be.

I agree with this in general. Putting aside for the moment whether or not permission was given.... My main problem is with how people are treating Facebook like it is pure evil when in fact it is an organization that made a mistake, tried to correct it, did not do a great job of correcting it...

Or you can get it from Humble for even less (with BETA).

The only reason the army ordered a copy of this gun is so the guy in charge could fark around with it on the range. They do that all the time. If you work your ass off for 25 years to get in a position to make decisions like this, of course you are going to use it to get your hands on some fun toys.

These aren't even vaguely a problem, at least not after the move from fully autonomous self-driving cars to only partially autonomous ones… Snow: Roads will be plowed, and where necessary salted and graveled in a precisely orchestrated priority order by automated plows. The whole system will...

My answer to the question "If you could have one super power what would it be?" has been the ability to create teleportation portals of any size I like to any place I want, with the portals being move-able using a proportionately large, hard to build and somewhat hard to move, but not actually...

If he said "Yes.... Blah blah reasons, blah our intent blah, blah, explanations, blah.".... You would rip him a new asshole AND have specific statements of his on which to base that ripping. He is NOT saying that he can't and doesn't judge himself (e.g. psychopath territory). He is saying there...

It is "Lies, damned lies, and statistics". Also, traditionally -> means "Equals" or "Leads to". Based on this it appears as if you are saying: Because millenials get a fragmented POS of an offering they prefer multiple large payments for content instead of one small one. It is also not...

To be clear to the DRTFA crowd and the CUTFA crowd.... They are not talking about getting rid of URLs at all. Not even a little bit. All they are suggesting is that, in general, instead of showing you the full URL (which would be unchanged) such as this...

Your reasoning is backwards. With very few exceptions (such as Zimmerman) lawful concealed carriers in the USA are far more likely to walk away from a potential confrontation than the average person. The one real bit of research done in this area shows they commit violent crimes at a rate less...

Okay, that makes sense. I was thinking a totally different direction and wondering if he was conflating Shadowrun and Cyberpunk.

What fantasy stuff are you talking about?

To be fair... Deus Ex was just a less fleshed out Cyperpunk 2020 on a computer screen instead of with a GM and your friends....

Actually "Color in a bubble" on paper is super reliable and not only is still in use, it is on the leading edge of election security and innovation... The most obvious benefit is that you can recount every single individual ballot, which is not the case with any form of electronic system. With...

I think you are missing my point... Caring about the backstory in general is fine, but acting like the backstory "Leader's" actions matter so much that you have been "Betrayed" and have to quit or not wear armor in protest, is ridiculous. This quote from the article highlights what I mean...

There is a big difference between a one-on-one interaction with someone who means you no harm and can do you no harm, and asks you not to do something harmful to them... And a dozen Terminators marching towards you firing guns like mad. Sorry, but this test proves nothing in regards to a...

Another reason that PC sales slowed down and are now increasing again is that SSD's extended the shelf-life of a LOT of computers over the last few years, and we are only just now getting past the original impact of this. When people found out they could just replace their HDD with an SSD and...

Since when are the Horde NOT the bad guys? I thought that was fundamental to the Warcraft world. Also, 100% in agreement with SeaFoam... WTF? and also.: How can anyone give a fuck about this kind of thing? It's a game, the only "Leader" you have is yourself a/o your clan leadership. The rest is...

I went into an Apple store the other day. They had 15 people working, 20 customers in the store, some of whom were together, and I still had to wait 15 minutes to make a simple purchase requiring nothing more than me telling them what I wanted, paying for it, and leaving. They have taken...

You were a waiter, yet you are apparently unaware that at most restaurants the cooks get part of the tips left at the table? Sounds like someone is feeding us a steaming pile.

Did anyone RTFA? The thing that the waiters are complaining about is NOT the use of these devices to place orders or in any way REPLACE waiters. The problem is that at the end of your meal the devices are used to rate the waiters, and if you give a waiter anything less than 5 stars out of 5...

I am not at home, so I can't verify right now if this is still the case, but when Music Groups (which is what you are using to play everywhere) first came out each device could only be added to a single group. I have a LOT of Echo's, and I have a lot of music configurations I might want to use...

I don't give a rats ass about the privacy concerns. Just be FAR more helpful, sensible, connected, and intuitive please. For instance, I should be able to 100% control any Echo on my account from any other Echo on my account, and even tie them together on the fly to do things like play...

I know all about what is going on and I continue to use Facebook exactly as I did before. I know and honestly don't give a crap because nothing that happened was anything other than what I thought was taking place with when I signed up. I use Facebook as a convenient way to communicate with a...

It is NOTHING at all like post it notes. For proof of this, compare it in practice to the actual post-it-note app that you can get for Windows. The two are so different that there really is no comparison. Personally I find Post-it-Notes to be practically useless, while OneNote is fantastic. We...

I tried googling how to do this, and everything I find says you have to install an app or download a browser extension.... It isn't built into Windows. What do you know that Google doesn't?

For those that don't realize... That Google must remove links to old negative stories about people at their request is long since a dead horse. The UK (and entire EU IIRC) decided many years ago that people have the right to request, and effectively force, Google and other search engines to...

As far as I can determine your first 3-5 matches with a new hunter should be spent working your way towards the nearest extraction, killing all the zombies and getting all the clues you can along the way... But entirely foregoing the bounty in favor of surviving long enough to level up a few...

Where does the DeviceID come from? Where does the default clock setting come from? If both of these come from Nvidia then Nvidia is the problem. I notice the memory is Samsung vs Hynix (1D10 vs 1D12). I am guessing that lower speed memory is used in the 1D12 and that is the reason for the clock...

In 15 years Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, or some other vendor of your choice, and some not of your choice, will know absolutely everything you do. EVERYTHING, including full data on your bowel movements if they want it... and you will be happy to let them have it. They will even have...

XKCD's entropy math is wrong because it treats the characters as characters and stops there. You also have to consider how long it would take to break if you treat the words as words, and attack based on popularity of use in passwords. A better approach is to use three random words + one...

Not "Either Or".... BOTH. It is called Multi-Factor Authentication. It is like when you have to use the Blizzard authenticator app AND a Password to access your Blizzard account. It makes it a lot more secure. So in this case it would be your face being scanned AND a password, or even just a...

How about we use biometrics AND passwords. Much more secure.

Here is a comprehensive list of issues with that article: The Author

He is nuts if he thinks anything that significant will happen in the next 20 years.... At least if he thinks it will be more than a couple early experiments. We are probably 60 years or so from ubiquitous brain implant internet interfaces. 20 years from now? I could maybe see the early use of a...

All Blackberry had to do to print money forever was make a Blackberry App for Android 8 years ago, License their security chip to be put in Android devices for cheap, set the chip to only interface with the Blackberry app, and continue to improve their RIM servers. It would have been win-win for...

Isn't this the same guy that says alien's are going to show up at some point in the reasonably near future, despite the math saying it is far more likely someone will win Mega Millions three drawings in a row on one ticket per drawing, all with the same numbers? Sorry, but I can't take him...
