I remember a related story a few months ago and I was using Adblock Edge (forked non-sell out version of ABP) and advocating it. People kept spamming my thread saying that uBlock was better. So I tried it out and am now a convert. It is in fact lighter weight and nearly transparent, but since they don't pay for placement you have to search for it 2x in the add-ons to find it.

I primarily use Firefox, with uBlock (you can enable even stricter subsets of rules if you want, I did without issue), HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy Badger (the last 2 are from the EFF). I only see ads at work on other people's machines. There are other good add-ons for other stuff but this + wipe everything on browser close and private windows are nice.

The only memory leaks seem to come from anything Flash based. So I'm forced to kill/restart FF every few days or it gets progressively slower and slower. I've noticed it's not really an issue without something running Flash.

I think people/gov't vastly underestimate unemployment. Our system is skewed very much in favor of big business and they know it because they paid for it to be that way.

Just look how the president is lobbying for Silicon Valley pay scale bulldozing.

for the OS. For storage they still need time. I just bought another 4 TB Hitachi Deskstar for my tower because I need the room. I can't wait until the capacity and prices of SSDs match mechanical. I just wish they had something better than a half-truth telling SMART built in.

unless it's the guy you know, friend of the bosses son, whatever. Who you know > *

I see a lack of imagination. The fact is *EVERYONE* lies. Whether it's polite white lies to save feeling or nasty malicious backstabbing for revenge or out of jealousy or whatever.

Do you *LOVE* your job? Want to repeat your answer and look deep in to the eye scanner please? Do you agree 100% with everything your company does and its "mission"? Again, please look directly in to the eye scanner, thanks. --- This could literally go on forever. Refuse to take the eye scan test? Auto-fired.

Also, people will obviously equate an 82% success rate with 100% success rate. Even shitty lie detector tests get this reputation with the masses, want to face a jury of your peers with these things? Really?

It gets deeper. How about when these are used on video clips? Live broadcasts? Maybe people aren't naturally equipped to be 100% lie detectors for good reasons?

Zero Punctuation from The Escapist and Ben Croshaw is fucking hilarious - these are short, fast paced game reviews done in flash animation if you're not familiar.

Red Letter Media for Half in the Bag, Best of the Worst, and of course Mr. Plinkett. These are movie reviews, commentary and sometimes satire from movie buffs. The most well known (and the reason I still regularly check back) are the scathing several hours long multi-part dissections of the Star Wars Prequels there are some for a few other things as well but the eloquence and insight in the Star Wars Prequel diatribes is really something spectacular and worth watching (it will put in to words what you probably felt).

Even further removed from blogs... Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic where two different ventures from the cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000 continue doing what they did sans puppets. I prefer Rifftrax of the 2, and collect them both.

Maybe this was the plan all along. Get a huge tax break, and get essentially free patents to troll with.

I recently read this book this documentary is based on. The doctor who wrote it harps on this point to the degree it sounds preachy and fear mongery in the text.

The most interesting parts of the book were the stories which were ostensibly from cases with the names changed.

I don't have any ;/

Yes I remember, and had completely forgotten until you reminded me.

How many people will refrain from posting because the statute of limitations hasn't run out yet?

and other assorted imported religious insanity.

This is exactly what I mean. Personally, I've been in a relationship with my g/f for almost 10 years and lived together for 7.

I'm not really in a hurry to get married, because who gives a fuck, and I don't particularly enjoy The State involved in my personal life.

As I've said before, I work for a public school district which means shitty pay and worse benefits (contrary to popular belief) so I'm on her insurance as a domestic partner. I'm worried this ruling means the death of such options.

I am worried about what this will do to domestic partnerships. There are a lot of people under the insurance and other things of their domestic partners. Does this mean forced marriage?

Mod parent up. Supreme Commander is a shadow of TA's greatness (and the recent remake is very VERY distant 4th, I'm counting TA:Kingdoms as 2nd).
