Uh-huh. And in Pakistan and other African countries they outlawed marrying girls under the age of 10. Of course it still happens, as we all know "making something illegal" doesn't stop it from happening.

Why don't you just make a slipstream CD/DVD with all the updates on it? It sure doesn't take that long to do and at this point in time if you're re-doing it on more than one machine per month you should have one anyway. If you don't know how this will give you the basic primer on it.

Wikipedia is full of factual inaccuracies, it gets even worse the closer you come to articles on politics or popular culture. Then the neutrality goes right out the window because someone, somewhere is always carrying an agenda. I think my current favorite is the #gamergate article where the founder of wikipedia has stepped in because a particular subset of users and ultra-leftwing feminists skewed the neutrality so badly that even he could spot it. Couple that with a particular senior editor having done nearly 25% of the edits and breaking the neutrality rule, it's now led him down the path where people on both sides of the spectrum want him stripped of the ability to edit at all.

There's instances of this from other blogs doing the same thing. One example that stands out in my mind is from LGF. Where a user bombed comments on hot air(during a low moderation period) to claim that "hot air supported racism." Then was lauded for what they did on their home site.

I hope you know that neither console uses 1080 as a native resolution. Some games use 1080 mainly on the PS4, though they're main 900p, almost all games on the Xbox One are 792. Some get up-sampled to 1080p. But let's compare the current generation of hardware on those consoles, and what you could build with a PC. And you'll find that for ~30-80 more then a console you can build a PC that will stomp the ground flat and do 1080p without a problem.

The current gen of consoles at best were aborted messes that anyone in their right mind should never have bought.

I'm sure some console fanboy will come out any time now and still scream that these consoles are more powerful than PC's and all that. Well I guess they are, but only if you count a PC from ~3-4 years ago.

Strange, I heard the same thing that it "would never happen in Canada." Interestingly enough Rogers, Bell, Telus and Cogeco discovered that despite the "never mess with hockey" rule that Canucks also have a "never mess with the internet" rule too. It was a big enough outrage that the federal government(that would be the current conservative government) stepped in and threatened the CRTC(think canuck FCC), that they would strip their mandate away if they didn't smarten up. They're also discovering that with the current video streaming and trying to piss off people over netflix up here too.

Then again, I sometimes think that Canada stole the US's ability to stand up against government and government bodies. We've been doing that quite often here over the last 15 years coming from our history where we used to just whine, bitch and moan over something. While americans are simply whining, bitching and moaning over something now.

Except of course when you see the questions. Example from when I was out in Alberta required you to carry four tens, then break the ones into another set of subgroup of ones. Yeah, using 20+20+2x2=wrong in their little world.

I'm guessing you've never looked at or went into any field that requires memorization for course work. As a hint, there's a lot of areas of work that require that in order to be successful even in a job that requires logical thinking, problem solving, and "thinking outside the box." What you're talking about in the rest of your paragraph however is taking learned knowledge plus experience and applying it to understand "how something happens." You still need that memorization and learning by rote to get there.

Yeah don't get me started on common core, we tried that up here in Canada before you guys did and it's done such a fucked up job of screwing kids up that there's at least 4 years worth in Ontario and Alberta that they're not struggling at basic areas of math, english and history. In fact it's so fucked up that both provinces have thrown the "non-directive learning" into the trashbin of history.

I'm in Oxford currently, in one of the dead zones. I can get CityTV because Woodstock has a repeater, global comes in if you're lucky.

I was going to say, are you new to /.? But according to you UID that would be a no, and since it's a no I'd have figured that you would already know that this is pretty much the norm in all OS testing, technical testing, beta testing, UI development, etc. MS, Apple, BSD, various flavors of 'nix have all been doing this for a while. By a while I mean more than 12 years.

Really? I live in Canada, and none of those show up on regular TV stations(in my area) they're all on cable. In canada at least 25% of households also use netflix as their primary source for said shows as well and it's increasing.

Can you point out any company in the west where this is true? After all, that would be illegal.

Welcome to #gamergate, Strange that this has been the same responses that the anti-side has been screaming about for the last month. My personal favorite are the feminists who attack other women and minorities, including making statements that "they know better" then the people they claim they're "trying to protect."

So the best response you have to someone saying you don't like is "in just about every group of bigots there are token uncle toms" well I guess that makes it easy to see who the bigot really is. After all "if it doesn't fit your view point of the world, it's wrong."
