Metal Gear is a great game, but after playing through most of the series all I can say is "good riddance." Hideo seems rather arrogant and self-indulgent, his ego leaves too big of an imprint on the game and tarnishes its quality. Getting rid of him is no guarantee it will get better, but at least there's a chance.

Right, but that's not what I'm asking about. If they're considered non-free, they don't fit the criteria of "free software" but not "open source software." I get how something can be "open source" but not "FIAF", I was looking for examples of the opposite.

Bolded part has me curious. What sort "free software" would not fall under the looser defintion of "open source" at the same time?

Beyond Good and Evil was a decent puzzle/TPP game. Not quite sure how it got its cult icon status, but it was decent.

I honestly never tried their keyboards. After overpaying for the mouse and gamepads, and seeing how expensive the keyboards were, decided to stick with the old Model M and grabbed a Logitech G600 mouse instead. That's lasted me a year so far, and was much cheaper.

I don't know how well built the CODEs are, but Razer's build quality has been utter crap in my experience for the past few years, and their warranty support sucks (Naga mouse and two Onza TE gamepads in a row).

Not until there are no more adapters to be had, dammit!

Though if I end up having to chain a third one in there, I'll probably have to work out some kind of hack for weight support...

I'd love to spend these mod points sending your bullshit DailyBeast link back down to the -1 Flamebait that it deserves, but this level of idiocy is worth calling out. That dirtbag Nungesser raped her and several others and the author of that article Cathy Young has built a career out out of rape-denial pieces - consistently manipulating details to fit her bullshit narrative.

Mods, if you have *any* interest in this story, there is plenty more detail to this story that you can read over here.

Please don't mod parent up, it's dishonest undeserving bullshit.

I try to use Lyft over Uber whenever possible, but in the past few months I've gotten "our system is down" messages nearly every time of day or night. Their IT department could use the boost!

There are also cows, pigs, horses, and chickens.

"Unlikely to be true" isn't the same as "proven negative." When discussing logic, "proof" has a specific meaning.

That said, your example/reasoning is mistaken, but you're underlying point is not. It is sometimes possible to prove a negative by contradiction (proving that the affirmative is impossible).

You might have a point, if the internet ^Wworld didn't have an abundant supply of nitwits willing to ignore any and all evidence that might conflict with their "individual" world view.

I recently downloaded the app and gave it a spin that lasted about two weeks. It's a new spin on a very old concept but it doesn't work well at all.

That 1.5 mile radius is incredibly limiting - if you start a conversation at home you can't participate in it once you get to work. The anonymous comments are filled with so much bitching and whining of spoiled brats it really makes me resent the student body at my local university. There's a huge amount of group-think that's baked into the app itself - say something unpopular and earn just a few downvotes and Yik Yak will delete your comment forever. That's when it's not losing your comments to begin with: that crappy service lost nearly 20% of my comments, but continued to alert me for updates to conversations that have completely disappeared.

TL;DR - Yik Yak is a gimmick and a poorly made one at that.

Edit->preferences->Network, uncheck "Use Random Ports" and it will let you specify a port range, old-school style.
