This Masonic exclusivity bullshit is the exact reason I got turned off of Glass in the first place.

"how do they find out you can hear?"

It's a video chat. They see me talking and responding to non-visual stimulus and it's pretty fucking obvious.

"what is "perfect" sign language?"

Anything they can understand.

"you sound like you're just making shit up.."

You sound like you don't actually work with some of these services to provide high-speed high-framerate international deaf communications networks. I do, on the other hand.

Do you even know how Camfrog works?

No? Be quiet until you do.

Simply put, I run several rooms on the site. The rational deaf people come in and act like normal humans. Then they invite me over to another room, run by deaf people. Oh shit, a hearing person! BANBANBAN.

Perhaps you wouldn't look so stupid if you actually used the service I speak of.

WHY is it okay for Symantec to do this?

The more relevant question to ask is "Why DID Symantec do this?" A more interesting question would be "Why did Symantec break the law?" They didn't do that, but the answer to all three is the same.

"because it helps them make money".

In this particular case, the fear of ransomware helps Symantec sell their product. So a researcher doing something to combat ransomware hurts Symantec's business. So they do what they can do, to protect their profits. In this case, it's even legal for them to do it. So it's a no-brainer.

You simply have to expect this sort of behavior from any big business. There's no point in being confused or shocked by it.

A month from now they will be able to make a new press release, "Two months ago security researchers dealt a blow to ransomware, protecting users and devaluating our product. Today, we're pleased to announce the ransomware developers have made the necessary fixes to their code outlined in our recent publication, and once again, Symantec is your only defense against ransomware!"

If you need your emails regarding legal matters, throw a subpoena duces tecum at them.

They'll unlock those accounts so goddamned quick, lest they be held in contempt of court.

"I would like you to prove your point that deaf people are considering themselves as superior to hearing people"

Go get yourself a Camfrog account and go into a deaf room.

Won't take you more than about 15 seconds to get kicked out once they find out you can hear, no matter if you can do perfect sign language.

"They look at those that get implants as traitors."

Yep, see this on Camfrog all the time. The sheer ignorance of it all is absolutely astounding.

I'd been talking about Novec 1230 being used as a computer coolant for years on this site. Prior art all over the fucking place.

That would actually be a much more feasible use for this, at least for certain ranges of speed at certain altitudes.

" Not only is this obviously breathtaking, but when it comes to off-roading—or parking in tight urban spaces—this could change the game."

Not when the people using said vehicles aren't even familiar with the basics on how to handle and maneuver.

If you need assistance to parallel park in a tight urban space, you either need a smaller vehicle, or you need to call a cab or walk.

On top of that, you shouldn't have been given a license in the first place.

You'd thaw the entire Nordic region with like two of these and an nVidia 9800.

I have one case with liquid cooling, and old Smilodon.

I get better cooling with my graphite-core aluminum fin spreader, outperforming a solid copper Itanium II heat sink.

Come back when you have to deal with 1,000w in a 50mmx50mm package and need to keep junction temps BELOW 50C.

Not really, due to how carbon fibers tend to conduct and radiate heat - only at their ends.
