There's a difference between "I can't" and "I won't."

I fall squarely in the "I won't" camp. I just don't like it, and everything I don't like about my current browser seems to have been inspired by Chrome.

Someone should tell Twitch that their business isn't necessary.

Tactics and strategies you can absorb this way, but physical skills (eg, aiming) are more like your golf example. Knowing that you should avoid the sand pit doesn't mean squat if you can't get the ball to land in front of you more than half the time.

My circle of friends do it to show stuff to each other - "look at this cool thing I did!" or "hey, I can't figure out why this isn't working."

We don't often watch each each other play just for the sake of it.

I kind of don't like the idea of all the expensive stuff being inside the things you have your hands on and move around all day.

They don't "see" into shit. Read the summary. All it does is inform the officer if there's movement inside, which doesn't really tell them much.

Visual Basic is not suitable for anything, except perhaps as a form of torture.

My thoughts on avoiding playing with that nerve... ever had a vagus reaction when drawing blood?

I'd rather stay conscious, thank you.

Oh no! He said the same thing again! I can feel my opinion changing!

Nope. Just repeating what you already said doesn't really work.

Assholes like you shame reasonable people like me out of expressing patriotism.

The fun part about politics is everyone has a reason to lie about it.

If you didn't have a reason to lie about it, you'd not have any reason to participate in the conversation anyway.

Rather I think the important bit here is the revelation that common air pollutants affect gene expression, not the effects of such expression. The mechanism is the important part.

I assume they had a control group... is that a correct assumption?

Sure, when you're running VMs and those VMs don't have SSH or serial consoles configured yet. The RDP server for virtualbox for example is not available unless you install Oracle's proprietary extensions.

So, I'll SSH in, start vnc, start my client, and connect via SSH tunnel. Fire up virtualbox, play around on the console until SSH can do the job.

(If I had a choice I'd have just put ESX on the host, but it's not an option. Even if it was, it would have to be one of those custom ISOs since it isn't officially supported hardware.)

I've got it on my server. When you absolutely need a display (rarely) fluxbox inside a VNC server does the job and stays out of the way.

Well, I said reasonable bitrates and not high quality - think 128kbps. Though you are right, using the fast encoder profile doesn't make it any better.
