I'm not big into donating money without heavy research and that's annoying. Like who knew the Red Cross was wasteful and mismanaged bullshit, EVERYONE knew that United Way is bullshit and their CEO was stealing money and they funnel money to political bribes and lobbying, and it turns out Compassion International is practically flawless but has bad rumors spread about them. That's A LOT of research time.

I tend to find out what a small, local-ish organization needs and then get them precisely that. Like if they need cleaning supplies or computers or toner and paper, I get them that. Then it's practically impossible to misuse. Money can go anywhere.

Loading drivers in a similar manner as hibernation pre-boot is a horrible idea considering drivers are how viruses bypass the UAC most of the time. The order in which it turns off hardware devices is misleading and dangerous on all Windows 8 laptops. The whole EUFI thing is BS. UAC basically doesn't even work at all on a basic level and they haven't fixed it since Vista. So really the kernel isn't anything special aside form performance modifications.

...that H-1B workers need to stay the hell out of.

Why would "researchers" even bother? Apple is just going to sue them and cover it up. Don't they read tech headlines?

Here, let me run MS for a second.
- Fire everyone responsible for Windows 8's design
- Fire anyone who thinks charging for products over time is a good idea
- Fire anyone responsible for UEFI and attempt to press criminal and civil charges against them for it
- Fire all H1B workers and hire Americans or green card citizens
- Fire anyone who thinks releasing a new mega-update to Windows every year is a good idea and strongly suggest they go work for Apple
- Fire anyone who thought touchscreens would take off as a primary input method for laptops because they're too stupid to be a functional human being let alone do their job

Problem solved!

I could have sworn I learned in school that the release of nuclear fuel in the upper atmosphere, like if a rocket exploded, would destroy the entire planet.

Try that shit in the US where I have multiple concealed weapons. They try jumping me on the street because they didn't like my Facebook post, they're taking bullets to the head. I'm fairly certain guns are practically banned in most of India and this is probably why. They want only the rich and corrupt in power to have guns.

Time Warner really likes to block downloads of the Tor Client Bundle. Everyone go try and download it right now and if it doesn't work, report them. 1000 or so reports for the same thing should show up on their radar.

I agree. There are VERY basic rules and patterns that would be one line of code that would have improved it immensely. This was practically random with almost no hope of purposely coming up with a valid sounding card. Something like black cards can't do direct damage to the other player without a secondary effect or trigger condition. That's a universal law of MTG and yet it prints a black lightning bolt.

There is no company called Oculus. It's called Facebook. Facebook bought them. Microsoft is working with Facebook. WHAT?!
So besides that, everything MS touches dies. They can't design anything that customers want anymore and they turn everything into a money-grubbing, ad-infested, piece of garbage that they shove down users throats by abusing their monopoly. Oh now I get why they're working with Facebook.

I recall hearing that there won't be any more easily accessible fossil fuels by 2042. Good job, guys! Plus, 2100 is just in time for everyone to be dead from climate change.

If they're using simple GPS, that's too many people to notify one at a time. It just won't work. They would be better off just tightening screening and long distance transportation hubs like normal.

And on the same topic, why are you such an unbearable, arrogant, fat bastard that everyone in the world universally hates?

Since aiming a gun with the precision required by Fallout games is impossible with a joystick, they should have skipped consoles altogether. I felt the same about skyrim and everyone that played it told me that archery is impossible on the console version. Joysticks are for racing and flying games, not gun aiming.

I can get, at very low volumes from Silicon Power, 120GB for $47 and 240GB for $77. The "average" price on newegg out of the 500 or so SSDs I bought there in 2014 was $60 and $105.
