Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

They have photoshop, which is widely used worldwide by basically everyone involved with any sort of visual media.
And also they're walking on the HTML5 visual editors territory.

When posting on facebook, you're unwillingly playing a sinister version of akinator that can use your unrelated data to guess things about you, and probably you simply "gave away tips that your keyboard died" that were picked by the neural network.

First, Freebasic is truly free and runs on several platforms unlike VB that is strictly tied to windows unless you use Wine etc..
Secondly, if you're trying to teach the basics of the basics (variables, if statements etc), an clean environment like the freebasic is much preferable to the visual basic one, as there's no functions, classes and things that are only useful on the vb environment itself like the window editor itself to worry the student and take his time.
Of course, if i was going to use it to teach, would be just the basics, getting the student used into how to formulate his own code and having fun doing so and then quickly boot him into something actually decent like python or C.

There are several mods and romhacks that allow you to play as a powerful girl on the PC.

PC is not the "master race" because it is not a single race, but a variety of different kinds of machines with different kinds of purposes.
If you want a PC that can outlast a 3DS or PSVita by a factor of 3 in battery time you can.
If you want a really powerful PC that runs all games in 4k, you can.
If you want the cheapest box on the block that can run older (and arguably better) games, you can.
If you want a serious machine for actually doing serious work, PC is there for that too.
And you can run any software you want for it, can write new software for it, can actually write software for several consoles with it..
Its about freedom, not power.

I think they should be clearly distinguished instead of throwing everyone on the same basket.
There are those people, like pretty much everyone on the internet that sometimes will get too bored, and will throw some hooks to cause some flame wars etc.. and well, this happens and sometimes its even fun, as it ends killing boredom.

But then there are the stalkers.
People that get fixated in making someone's life hell, someone that keeps "chasing the prey", that seeks every place the victim goes and slanders and don't let it go etc..
Those are indeed truly evil and should be clipped somehow.

We're on 2015, which means the trend now is to chase down the bronies.

Most of those actually successful DDos attacks being carried lately are most likely using the so called NTP/DNS amplification attack, where the botnets use the power of the NTP/DNS servers to carry the actual attack by flooding those servers with small requests that return an immense amount of data while faking the ip address of the victim.
If you put a limit of how many of those specific requests can be done by an specific IP per second, you stop the whole thing on its tracks, and those people will have to go back into creating absolutely monstrously huge botnets to put any dent on a modern server.

Looks like the hackers did hit the weak spot.

Given the fact we would create em with the purpose of serving the humans, "human orders" would quickly became some sort of asset, and most likely they would put the humans in a matrix like system to better serve em.

Use less draw calls?
Modern GPUs can do nice things like texture libraries and very configurable shaders as the if statements aren't the pain they used to be on 360/PS3.

The eletronic machines would not have it if they used actual physical buttons.
They would not have this issue if the program was on a ROM chip.
Not a problem if the voting machines had a internal encrypted flash memory.
No glitch if used the two first on this list
And that could be solved by software as well.

But for some reason diebold think that they should do all this stupid flashy show instead of actually designing something actually reliable and safe.

Except other daleks.

With harder birds that can break thru windows of course.
