I had no idea what Cortana was, or that it's a thing. Now I know to avoid it.
thanks! =)

I'm guessing we'll be having a future of where people will abuse their various body parts via drugs & alcohol and then just buy a new one. The new "plastic surgery".
Personally I'm waiting for the full human clones and the mind transplants.
Unless I am mistaken, the Washington, USA, area runs on UTC-5 when on Eastern Standard Time and UTC-4 when on Eastern Daylight Time; never UTC-3 unless someone is working very early hours. So it seems like weak evidence indeed!
Funny how this is weak evidence, but stuff like this is what they used to say North Korea hacked Sony.
you know that DRAM hack-attack that was just made public? how much you wanna bet the US gov had a hand in making that possible?
I doubt that. My guess is it's just a prime example of cutting costs. It's cheaper to run non-ecc ram, and it's cheaper to implement software based ECC, then it is for hardware ECC.
Corporations want to make as much profit as possible, and the best way to to use cheaper components when making stuff.
Unless you mean the actual software to exploit it? This issue isn't new, just no one has actually made a proof of concept and shared it with the public. Guess it is quite possible that other people (NSA, Hackers) figured how to use this exploit.
I keep hearing about Microsoft's Android patents but I still don't know what they are?
The patents are that they will tie you up in court for years at costs way beyond what you'd pay if you just gave in.
Apparently it's a new idea when you add: on a cellphone to it.
So they create a console that is a computer and a year or two in, it's too slow because they didn't travel into the future and grab a GPU fast enough to keep up with PCs. What else is new? Welcome to desktops vs consoles. The next 5 years are going to be a joke for consoles.
Or we are going to get another 5 years of lame PC ports and GPU's that never reach there full potential unless you go with 3 4k monitors.
I'm so fucking sick of it, I'm SO SICK OF IT.
If you want 1080p ALL the time and 60fps ALL the time then buy a goddamned PC.
Consoles are not the be all and end all of power, the new consoles are not ultra beast powerhouses, they are affordable gaming boxes, which are surprisingly powerful for the cost.
I can't believe I once identified as a PC gamer who loved insulting peasant console people. Now that I'm older, I just want to play some games, I really dont' give a damn.
60fps MANDATORY or QQ!!!
You wanna demand 60fps minimum in my single player storyline focused games? Nope. Shut up. Stop whining, stop badgering developers. Go to NeoGAF and cry with the rest of them.
Look, this isn't reddit, and this isn't the pcmasterrace, so while you are claiming you aren't about that, you use the "peasant" which tells me you actually do believe you are a pcmasterrace. Only peeps in that sub called console users "peasants".
I think it's more akin to, if someone shoots at you, don't take cover or return fire until you radio up the chain of command, describe the situation, obtain observations, and get approval to respond. Meanwhile, bullets have been fired, and you're dead or the assailants have moved on.
Since when has the NSA given a fuck about the chain of command or even the constitution?
So
But please, do continue parroting Sports Center about the virtues of one blood sport over another.
Spoken like someone who actually has never seen the sports.
No one tries to kill each other, while sometimes there are grudge matches, everyone tends to respect their opponent in the ring. No one is trying to kill each other, they are trying to win.
Not to mention these people train hard and work hard to do this. It is there decision, no one is forced into it. So you and others like you need to get off your high horse and accept that there is things in this world that people like to do that you do not like.

...from a fight in 1998 hosted by the Pride organization with considerably different rules that is now closed.
It's also undetermined if the CTE damage wasn't caused by an even longer career of kickboxing, a related sport to UFC but also with different rules and strategies. (and damage risk)
The UFC rules have morphed and changed over the years, and more often than not I've seen a fight stopped early (or my interpretation of early) in order to adhere to the overall rule of protecting the fighter.
I said it was hard to find a career-ending injury. And I was right. You found one in twenty five years of the sport.
I'm not some huge fan of UFC either, but I am aware of the difference that organization has brought to MMA in the way of safety, as their track record in a violent sport speaks volumes.
American Football has more career ending injuries then MMA does.
I mean, I recently watched the video of the creation museum down south and they very explicitly state that humans and dinosaurs both co-habitated w/in the last 6,000 years, give or take a millennium. Cuz, you know, the Bible....
I recently saw some video series about Ancient Aliens. Cus, you know, the Bible.....
Guess we can't please everyone.
Ya, MS, you do that. You aim for the "One OS to rule us all" and end up with a crappy OS that works on no platform.
I guess the new management is the same as the old management, just doesn't throw chairs.
1) Going to another country simply to resign is not the sanest action.
2) We really need a clear International consensu that governments do NOT have extra-territorial jurisdiction. Actions taken in one country should abide by the laws of that country, not any other country - even if it affects the other country. Any country that refuses to abide by this simple rule (I'm including my own beloved United States which routinely violates this simple legal concept.), should have punitive trade restrictions placed on them.
When I'm in New York state, I have to abide by NYS laws, not New Jerseys. Similarly, when I am in the US, I should abide by the US laws, not any other countries.
It should work that way, but then they'd have no grounds on which to charge/bring Kim Dotcom to the USA to face charges. And the USA doesn't like to lose face, so I'm guessing that guy will spend a year in jail in the UAE.
I bought New Order during the Steam sale during the holidays and find the game to be a nice step from the last couple they have done. Graphics are great and I actually found myself liking BJ's character. Story so far has been really good. Very glad I picked it up. If the new one is done as well I might actually not wait for it to be on sale and pick it up after it launches. Providing it's not just a crappy console port like so many games tend to have been for the last decade.
Dear Nvidia
I don't want a console. I have an ultra-fast system that plays games, has wide compatibility, can hook up to a TV wirelessles or via HDMI, can surf the web, run netflix, watch live TV, etc. It's called my PC and it's faster. I also have no interest in using joysticks to control anything ever.
Sincerely,
everyone
Dear slashmydots,
We don't care about what you want. Today the cool thing is producing your own consoles, even though they are all pretty much Android TV Set Boxes, and people need these things, seriously. So buy this because you don't want to look like a douche.
kthx,
Nvidia
P.S. We say 3 gigs of ram, but what we mean is 512k of super ultra fast ram and 2.5 gigs of slow ram.
