the seminal first-person shooter Quake III Arena

Do you even know what âoeseminalâ means? This was the last first person shooter I spent a lot of time on, mostly because I was bored of the format with Q3.

Wolf 3D. Seminal. Doom, possibly seminal. Doom II, Quake and Quake 2 came from the same company. Unreal took a lot of our time before Quake 3.

We wired our house in 1995 with an Arcnet network (Ethernet too expensive) to play multiplayer Doom.

Q3 was not seminal.

I'm not sure why you skipped ahead to the fantasy part. Did someone link you to the middle? No one cares about the pie-in-the-sky half.

If you remember IE 6 was the better browser over Netscape. Ask any old web developer and they will tell you the quirks mode of Netscape made IE 6 look lean mean standards compliance machine.

We all know how far that went (ignoring my silly sig). Problem I have now is standards are different than webkit and it is easier to tell developers to just support webkit/blink and ignore w3c as they are no longer relevant in making up standards. This is great for business scary for users and is 2002 all over again.

Firefox I am afraid is not the answer either as they failed.

That implies that fecal transplants could be used to (at least partially) treat autism. That's cheap enough to do that I'm sure a study could be done on that; or at least some desperate parents will try it.

One of these things is - well, it's less funny with two bullets, never mind. Moving on.

A: So keep your precious chrome as the fallback. I keep palemoon around too, for ripping youtube locally and to have yet another customization-loadout-for-myself, browser-signature-for-the-world.

This might sound blasphemous on Slashdot of all places but Edge is available on Android and uses CHromes API for add ons. This means you can use ublock on your phone with Edge.

Anyone stupid enough to look to social media for medical advice deserves what they get. The losers in this scenario are the poor kids who are exposed to easily preventable diseases and the rest of the public at large who are subject to these retards. Why can't we prosecute them for handing out medical advice for which they are obviously not qualified to give ?

If seriously, currently their reproductive success is much lower compared to the general population since they're less adapted to this world. So they won't become mainstream unless this changes.

I know people who work on a couple of these teams. They wanted to be there. In some cases, the project is cool/popular enough that you need a personal referral to be considered for placement as a temp/contractor on the team.

Oh look. Progressive racism on display...

Not just porn. They've allowed advertising revenue in the form of banner overlays and pre-video ads from in-window porn, so the porn hosts have a real incentive to provide that material and make sure it works great. Well, at least that's what my friend Brian told me.

Sure, let me hold your hand through this: Money that could have been spent developing in-house knowledge about new and emerging 3D web specs and advancing their practical use cases was instead spent just trying to get the existing 2D specs to work right. The average increase in time I observed was about 600%. That is, for something that took 1 hour to build for all the other browsers took an additional 5 hours minimum to make it also work in IE.

Your first bit in the fake news, is the part where it wasn't the Washington Post. Bonus points if you actually post who did it. The second thing, the racism on display...you guys really are upset republicans freed your slaves and that you missed the full KKK regalia DNC convention huh?

The overhaul for certain, but there's a few major points that are ignored or contradictory in your statements.

With initial budget under-bid and undercut, it is automatically going to cause over-budgets when reality sets in. Also, what is criticized as "over-budget" today is often simply reaffirmation that originally approved budgets were truly undercut (and originally estimates were indeed more accurate than the over-estimations claims the critics throw around at the time).

The various aspects to a project funds reflect scientific hypotheses on time, materials, operating expenses, and other budgetary needs... including anticipated technology transferring from laboratory settings to real-world development (although not "commercialization" in the economic sense). What this means is that certain scientists become available/unavailable, raw material procurement is challenging (i.e. rare earth elements, import tariffs), facility operations may become hampered (esp. when natural disasters affect the areas), and progress in computer modeling is negatively impacted by regular challenges (i.e. computer malfunctions, delayed provisioning of systems, etc).

The hardware (i.e. measurement equipment), the software, and the documentation (which should reflect the systems as-built and not as-originally-imagined-5-yrs-ago)... are not necessarily transferable to new bidders or new development teams. Sometimes the science behind the custom-built equipment is wrong (so there's a sunk cost in its failed component development), sometimes the math is wrong (thus impacting the overall science), sometimes the roadmap changes (so the equipment is expendable due to increased efficiencies with other equipment already within project scope, "primary/secondary" functionality)... and thus the software and documentation follow the same path (directly as a consequence, or indirectly due to similar reasons). To believe all work is immediately transferable is ideal but realistically naive.

Overall, this JWST project seems to have had more unified support than many other projects within NASA (ahem, at the expense of the other projects at NASA). But just imagine, for a few seconds, what wild and ambitious work NASA could be doing if it had more government support across all branches, and the inflation-adjusted budgets from past generations!!! But you're absolutely right, there's so much potential for NASA lost to government politics that multiplying their budgets would not result in multiplied program successes... and that's the sad truth.

" But it's more revenue brought in by either Microsoft's LinkedIn professional network or the company's line of Surface computers and other hardware"

that these allegedly "self-driving" cars are really beaming their cameras back to some sweatshop full of overstressed "assistants" ?

computers used as tool to aid when humans produce and use makes more sense than most the B.S. being passed as AI

It's called trolling for hits, and most people who do it aren't Russian. Why are people still fucking that chicken after Mueller wrapped his investigation with no collusion, and the "we're glad you're home, the Russian's pooped in the hallway" meme.

Looks like it's not dangerous at all, certainly not 'quite dangerous', and HPV causes cervical cancer, so it's not 'largely a nuisance.' You might want to reconsider where you're getting your information.

How's the weather in Moscow today, comrade?

Sure. And if, as an adult, you get the measles? IT LITERALLY KILLS YOU. Guess what else? Lots of people don't have immunity from vaccinations they got as kids because it was defective to start with. Aside from fomenting chaos and divisiveness in the U.S., shit like this also endangers our very lives.

And that invalidates what I wrote how exactly? It doesn't. Of course, I could expand what I wrote and say only a moron believes falsehoods that come out of a president's mouth, and Trump and Obama and Bush before him all spewed bullshit by the bucket.

What is with the constant daily frigging articles attacking every single business? I wish I had the time to sit around and be angry at people doing shit. Do you really fucking think it is that horrible? THEN DONT DO THE FUCKING JOB. Jesus fucking christ cry baby motherfuckers. Go pickup trash for 5$ an hour 16 hours a day. Guess what.. you can pick to do either job or not do either job!? Same with Uber or Lyft. They even make it as easy as hitting a god damn button to not work for them. What the hell is wrong with entitled assholes these days? You are just attacking a hand that feeds you in exchange for your time. If you don't like it go find a place that wears fur gloves to handle your baby ass. Yes I am that upset at this that I am using poor language. These articles are just never ending about how horrible it is to work for XYZ. How this company does "slave wages.." It's like there is a prison cell these guys walk out of in single file with guns to their heads told to go dictate into a mic or something. How the fuck did progress ever get made in the past few hundred years if we have people whine about people having to work hard at a job they willingly go to and get paid to work at.
