Or maybe it would be an idea to not buy from the cheapest seller

What a great moral to the story! "Quit price-shopping, assholes - Pay full retail, or we... will... fuck you!"

Glad to see people feel just peach about that.

Simple, really:

Ubisoft just taught another generation of paying customers that piracy provides a superior product, regardless of price.

Congrats, Ubi! We haven't had a good DRM fuckup like this in a while - Without all your hard work, people might eventually forget how much it (and you) sucks. Keep up the good work!

So will the Tesla-haters (other than the self-serving parasites Elon has made obsolete) like this, or hate it even more?

If only I could think of a car analogy to help me decide!

can anyone name any Scientific discipline that has been built on models that have been shown by empirical evidence to be wrong?

Newtonian physics?

So, in #12, they decided to save us the trouble of having #13 do "The Search for Kirk". So that puts #13 as...

Kirk violates the prime directive again, resulting in yet another five-minute demotion and a random crewmember reassigned to a garbage scow for the Ganymede outpost.

Suddenly an alien probe starts microwaving Earth's oceans. To save Earth, Starfleet instantly promotes Kirk to double-plus-admiral and gives him an experimental portable time travel module, which he uses to take the enterprise back to 1980s Earth.

Once there, he must find and kill a 10 year old Benedict Cumberbatch before he invents the plague that wiped out the whales.

In the second to last scene, wacky hijinks ensue as we learn that Uhura secretly hid a chihuahua in her purse before returning to the future, which due to tachyon flux has evolved into a catch-phrase spewing mascot with the power to float just out of reach.

Finally, Kirk makes a speech (possibly as a voiceover) intended to beat some cheesy moral principle about the benefits of communism into the audience.

Credits.

Not sure what's so difficult to understand about that

Aside from TFA's exceedingly ambiguous wording, you have to admit it leads to quite a few questions.

For example, Windows occasionally shits the bed (I know, I know, call me a hater), sometimes even because of their own updates. If I need to reinstall the OS after a year because Microsoft pushed out a bad update, will I then need to buy a new copy just to get back to what I had for free the previous day? That seems to leave an awfully lot of room for intentional "accidents".

More importantly, will it let you tag "official" Facebook messages as false?

Like their privacy policy?

In what universe does a government website selling personal info to advertisers count as even remotely fucking acceptable???

This doesn't "raise significant privacy concerns", it sends a great big middle finger to the American public from its own elected officials. I don't care about the "potential" for misuse - I care that someone even considered the possibility of using healthcare.gov to siphon off PII.

Uncle Sam needs to retire.

So shouldn't it be more popular?

FTA:
"D offers compilers for all three platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux) as well as FreeBSD."
"There's a D package registry that currently lists over 400 third-party packages."

That pretty much sums it up.

/ All three platforms!

And everyone called me crazy when I wrapped my whole house in grounded chicken-wire when I re-did the siding. Now who gets the last laugh?

Mwa. Ha. HaHa!

Funny though, my cell phone doesn't work inside the house anymore. Damned AT&T and their crappy network!

The subby did finish it. Just read it as an exclamation of joy. "Astronomers something something stuff - YEAH!!!"

FTA: "The walls and other components of the structure were fabricated offsite with a diagonal reinforced print pattern and then shipped in and pieced together. The company then placed beam columns and steel rebar within the walls, along with insulation, reserving space for pipe lines, windows and doors."

From the text and what few pictures of the actual construction material they show, it looks like they basically print it with voids specifically for skewering it with rebar on-site.

Now, whether or not you trust the final assembler to actually *do* so and then backfill the voids with some sort of mortar so the rebar actaully has something to stick to... Well, we'll find out in the first big earthquake they get, I suppose.

Okay, technically we have an "interglacial" period, if you want to get pedantic.

When the "ice age" really ends - We have a problem.

Obligatory XKCD - And this one might actually educate rather than amuse!

Now look at the last 12000 years - The last ice age completely ended 9500 years ago.

Every. Single. Time.

The problem is that no one is asking what sucks about IT. Could it be:

I agree with all of those, but, not one of them discriminates against women vs men.


one has to ask is there something that is preventing women from getting jobs in IT

Yes, one does. You haven't.
