You ignorant bigoted piece of shit. Just don't give the prostitute money, and leave her to live her life as she chooses.

That's great, as long as you stay out of Canada.

Unless one party is in California.
See this for an interesting analysis.

No, they're saying that you can't just take their research and make claims that it doesn't substantiate and then appeal to their authority to support your claims.

To give a computer science analogy (I'm out of stock of car analogies), imagine that you worked on Hadoop and you'd made sorting large data sets go 50% faster. Then someone publishes a book arguing that P=NP and uses your result (which doesn't even do comparison-based sorting) as the basis for their claim. You'd be in pretty much the same position as the researchers in TFA. Would you say that the author is an idiot, or would you keep quiet?

Crusade had a few bad episodes, but hinted at some interesting story arcs and was mostly fun. Legend of the Rangers was mostly good, but fell into the trap of 'here's a big bad enemy who's even bigger and more bad than the last big bad enemy you fought'. It would have needed a later episode to discover (quite soon!) that The Hand were overstating their abilities and history.

I suspect that part of the problem is that JMS won't embrace new distribution methods. I would happily throw $50 into a pot to create a new series in the B5 universe to be released under a license that permits free non-commercial redistribution, with commercial boxed sets available for purchase for collectors. I suspect that there are enough B5 fans who'd be willing to do the same that it would be possible to finance one.

I enjoyed Crusade, but it was killed before any of the major plot elements could be resolved, which was annoying.

Some do. For example, there's a big window in the captain's office that looks out over the centre of the station (they're really inconsistent about gravity in B5, but that's a different issue), and it was only when I watched a 'making of' thing after seeing the entire series that I realised that it was meant to be a window. I thought it was a painting. I still think the space scenes look okay, but some of the backdrops - especially on planets - are pretty bad. They used CGI because they couldn't afford the location / model work that bigger-budget shows used.

The flashbacks to the telepath war in Crusade make it look interesting, and apparently it is in the novels. The real problem with season 5 was that it was set in the lull between interesting things. After the Shadow War, after the Civil Wars (human and minbari), but before the Telepath War or any of the other things that JMS had put into the timeline. Even the fall of Centauri Prime was more setup than main event (providing a base for the Drakh to operate from over the next 20 years). It was Part 1, but you can't put Part 1 at the end of a 5-year story.

Boxleitner grew into the role, but at the start he lacked the gravitas that O'Hare brought to the part. He just didn't seem like someone that I'd trust to be in charge of something as complex as a battleship, let alone a huge diplomatic outpost.

ARM's Mali has supported OpenCL (not just the mobile subset) for a couple of generations too. The problem is that Google hates OpenCL and tries hard to make sure that it doesn't work on Android. I don't know what makes nVidia think that they're different in this regard.

To be fair, there are the tacti-tards who love to bump fire from the hip. I have seen them at the range.

This man has claimed shit loads of things that have been pure crap. Do you really need references?

Such as? If you're going to post such things, you need to back them up.

Oh, sorry. I was thinking of Sean. Both of you switched jobs at almost the same time.

The geek in me wants to know the algorithm(s) it uses so I can detect similar but not-quite-identical images in a collection. The (free) programs that I tried so far were stumped by cropping or colour changes or both.
