Though back in my day we didn't have the Internet or easymode, and I was much too sane to call a $3.99/minute ($294,829,482/second in today's money) "tip" line.
Back in the day before the day, the tipline was free, except for LD charges.
Other than that, I have pretty much the same history, I just couldn't pass up the "get off my lawn" moment.
And perhaps the best one, Lewis's Law: Comments on any article about feminism justify feminism.
Apparently, Lewis is/was a feminist. In the rational universe, we call that "begging the question."
Just how much control is given to the players? Creating our own quest lines and NPCs, etc is kind of obviously intended, but just how far down the rabbit hole can we go?
Can players define their own weapon/armor stats? What about models?
Can players modify their rulesets to add, for example, new loot drop tables? How about new crafting professions?
And, actually a really important question: Is the digital release going to be available without Steam?
There have been plenty of those: legitimate, technical complaints about design flaws, suitability, and downright broken shit. Yet, somehow, that all seems to fall under the "Lul Change-hating luddite uniz nekbeard" response. So I really don't think we can take any proponents of systemd seriously, either.
Since Debian's not going to protect me from this svchost-cum-kitchen-sink abortion after all, looks like we're going to FreeBSD!
Get over yourself and your One True Way, Holier Than Thou attitude
Funny, that's my boilerplate response to GNOME these days.
So Network Manager had to come in because init lacked the ability
You say that like it's a bad thing. Have you replaced your car because it doesn't chop carrots, yet? The init system didn't NEED to deal with the network settings, because it's a fucking init system, not a network manager.
Where the hell did this whole kitchen sinking mess come from?
person who's decided to stop doing what they _wanted_ to do
Emphasis mine. No one else stopped them. There's a world of difference.
Saying that "monolithic" means "single binary" or any of the other paraphrasings pretty much disqualifies anyone using that (incorrect) handwave from taking part in any real discussion of technical merits/flaws of the system. It's a double whammy of "don't know what the hell you're talking about", and "don't care to learn better, because you have brand loyalty to uphold."
Unfortunately, there's too many of them on both sides to let the grownups talk.
I've gotten significant results with much smaller sample sizes (and I do mean statistically significant
With that kind of result distribution?
I don't really see how Bennett's keyboard diarrhea this week is anything remotely related to "News for Nerds"
They knew that Haselton's horrible grasp of statistics would prompt the nerds to click frantically to point out what a tool he is.
You read it again.
He's saying, there is no significant difference between the two groups. This contradicts the hypothesis
And everyone with a clue is saying that the conclusion doesn't hold, because the sample size is ridiculously, uselessly small.
IIRC, the greens are the "energy efficient" drives, and I think they power themselves down when idle, and up when they come back into use, so the numbers can grow even if the machine hasn't been rebooted since the drive was first installed.
That depends on what those rules turn out to be. Thus the "watch and see" part of my approach.
If you count ALL devices, Windows isn't even close to being the most widely used OS.
If you count ALL devices, you're just as clueless as those nitwits who thought tablets were going to make PCs a niche market again.
Hell, if nothing else, it means I can start writing
So hey, I'll keep watching for the poison pill, but between that and free VS? I'll give 'em a cookie this time.
Never ask two questions in a business letter. The reply will discuss the one you are least interested, and say nothing about the other.
