Good job, the final copy was better than my submission.

It will be interesting to see how automated OTR trucking plays out vis-a-vis the various states' stance on self-driving vehicles, especially those which have outright banned them.

Games have screenshot capabilities. I don't know the last time I played a game that didn't. And modern nvidia cards paired with even vaguely modern CPUs let you use Shadowplay to record video, to boot. I haven't tried it because I'm not currently so good at any games that I think anyone would want to watch me play them, but allegedly if you have a bundle of cores you don't even notice.

Speak for yourself, I have 6/1. It's okay when downloads support resume properly, but a lot of the time that fails. Even Steam used to get it wrong regularly, but they seem to have it pretty well-nailed down now. uplay, on the other hand, totally doesn't. Not sure about Origin.

It seems like the right level at which to do this would be the virtual machine level, at least for DOS games. Create a VPN between the players, and put virtual machines with only the games running in them on that VPN with no firewalling between the players on that network. It seems like this would actually reduce the security considerations. It might require a move from dosemu to qemu or similar, but that would also enable virtualization on supporting hosts which seems as though it would enhance security.

The website also kind of sucks. My connection definitely sucks, and their website is slow to load and pretty choppy. I'd rather use an app. I don't have to complain about the site if there's an app.

If the information on my phone were important, it would be encrypted. But it isn't. I don't keep my secret plans to rule the world on my fucking cellphone, because I'm not new. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck last night, etc etc. Nothing in it is a secret; Google already knows everything my phone knows. If I were going to do something nefarious, I would turn it off and put it into a mylar bag, and it would be none the wiser. I certainly wouldn't fucking tell it. What kind of dipshit does that take?

Are you being stupid on purpose? There's a public health concern in vehicle safety whether you get into one or not, because you can be harmed by someone else's vehicle being unsafe whether you get into it or not, let alone pay for the privilege. There's no public health concern in kitchen safety outside of fire hazards, and generally speaking we already have a mechanism for dealing with gas leaks at least — if you need to connect an appliance to the gas system, many utilities will come out and do it for free.

Since GOG is the ones selling the games it would be great if they chose a set of ports (like Steam) and just set the games to use that BEFORE they sold 'em.

Eh? How do you propose they do that, with hundreds of games originally written in dozens of development environments, the source code for many of which probably now exists only moldering in a landfill?

I expect it could be done with a proxy process (eg., the launcher) listening on the official GoG ports and forwarding packets to whatever ports the actual game wants. Not impossible. Easier than trying to modify the steaming pile that most older games called the network layer, even if the source code was available.

Okay, now explain which other source of it is getting into the municipal water supply. We have time, we'll wait. And while you're at it, why don't you learn how to follow the conversation threads? This one is talking about whether fracking fluid is refinery waste, not about where the water contamination came from, try to keep up, kid.

Yeah, that's how I found out that this stuff is a known carcinogen. Maybe you should try using google, have you heard of it? Because when you just swallow the first story you read, you're kind of a fucking moron. Do you fellate every corporation that promises you a better tomorrow?

That's pretty hard to do, unless you're driving on a hypercube.

The question is whether those laws are just. On the other hand, Uber was providing additional insurance while the user was transporting a rider; all they would have had to do was comply with the rule saying that the insurance would be provided any time the app was active, and then also make it so that it was against their rules to activate the app for any purpose other than carrying fares so that people wouldn't be activating the app just to get free car insurance. Get it written into the policy, in fact, so that it's the rules of the insurer and not just Uber, so that the policy will stick. Then it becomes the driver's responsibility not to break the rules.

Instead, they pulled out of the market completely and threw a tantrum.

I still don't believe that you should have to have a taxi license to charge someone for a trip. They don't do what they are claimed to do, they are simply a means of grabbing cash and exerting control. If you want people to have to have a certain grade of insurance first, that's fine, but there should be literally no other restrictions. If you think vehicles need safety inspections, there's no reason whatsoever to restrict that to taxis. It should be for all vehicles or for no vehicles.

You're hilarious. You don't even get how this works. You just use data centers located in population centers like always. In those population centers, there are more subscribers, so there is more available bandwidth.

We may need formal links between population centers. Just like roads, these would reasonably be public infrastructure.

Meanwhile, only CDNs really need to be hosted in these locations, so some websites' architectures will change slightly with the heavy content hosted by third parties and the rest not, but so what? That trend is proceeding apace anyhow.

So you can't read, and you can't understand the import of what you're saying? Perhaps a discussion board is not for you.
