Much like one of the replies to your last twitter link... you're going to get hit with the:
"Stop looking at data, look at the feels"

I'm surprised they didn't go over the legally allowed limit due to fire regulations packing in people that tightly.

Too many people think having someone you're paying being on the hook for support (even if/when that support sucks) trumps OSS.

Ouch, that one hit too close to home.

Yeah when we were being moved into our "open office environment" crap, we got all the talks about how studies showed it helped people work better (when the info was the exact opposite) and that people "collaborate" more and all. Bullshit, just be honest and say you're doing it because it's a lot cheaper. I can at least respect being told the truth rather than being lied to.

I ended up buying a pair of Parrot Ziks and drown out the outside noise with the music/movie of my choice off my ipad. I need music or the TV in the background when working at home to actually work anyway... I can't work in complete silence. I used to listen to music in my office, at a reasonable volume so it didn't bother neighbors, when I was in an office.

I'd say we have a winner.

Did you ever hear a greenie complain about people using a bus? Well, go to SF.

They're doing it wrong though. The companies are running their own busses, not growing the gov't run system and keeping the power in the hands of the "right" people.

There's also the point that, for some cultures, "making it out" due to becoming a sports pro, is seen as cool. Trying to "make it out" by actually working hard in school, getting a job early, gaining experience, etc.. is looked down upon. In fact, for the latter, in some cases the person will be bullied and derided for doing that.

It's not just on the colleges/businesses to recruit. These kinds of attitudes need to change.

It's part of why you also never hear cries to diversify or balance out things like pro sports either.. those doing the complaining about businesses and all are pushing for quotas for specific groups in specific areas, not equality across everything.

> What a great idea.... weaken everyone for a few rare cases.

That's the norm in big gov't.

Some people use guns to commit crimes? Let's ban them, or at least severely restrict them!
Some people can't dispose of plastic bags? Ban them for everyone!
Terrorists took over some planes? Let's enact crazy "security" that can't actually catch anything, treats everyone like a criminal, and make sure we grope kids and grandma so we don't look like we're profiling.

What bugged me was he then made the point that if someone else broke the same statutes, they could be prosecuted. Basically confirming that she's safe, but anyone else would likely be prosecuted.

Rocketship X-M was one of my favs.. sadly it was pre-SciFi and likely never will be released again.

By this time my lungs were aching for air!

First game I've had that's crashed on my PS4... twice now.

At least it's been a full day apart and pretty rare, and still enjoyable overall.

I store my iTunes library on a 20TB (~19TiB)Pegasus array today.
Video size currently:
MigiMac (OSX) [~ (master)]$ find /Volumes/Pegasus/iTunes/ -type f -a \( -name \*.m4v -o -name \*.mp4 \) -ls | awk '{tot+=$7}END{printf "Total size: %.4f Gig\n",(tot/(1024*1024*1024))}'
Total size: 6802.7659 Gig

Mix of ripped movies and TV shows, but I also purchase a few season passes from the iTunes store... it's close to a-la carte cable and ends up being cheaper than getting all the channels required would be. I do actually purchase most movies on blu-ray (3d if avail.. it's fun sometimes). If it comes with a digital copy that works in iTunes.. great. If not, I rip a copy. Ultraviolet can go screw itself. Rips are done via makemkv/vobcopy -> handbrake -> iTunes.

I use AppleTVs to watch stuff probably 90% of the time. Another 8% or so is watching disks via my PS3... the remainder is Cable and streaming (I tend to not use netflix/hulu very often and cable TV only as background noise from time to time).

For backups (you do back up, right?)...
Tier 1 is scripted rsync to a Synology DS2413 with ~18TB of disk
Tier 2 is rotated 2x6TB striped disks in 2 identical Lacie 2Big Thunderbolt external drives. I rotate every couple weeks so one is locked in my desk at the office for "off-sites". I also rotate a disk in a static bag at the same time for my linux box's data backups (email/web/photo gallery).

My MBP (iTunes on it has my master music library for syncing to iOS dev due to history) is also backed up to it's own Time Capsule but I also use rsnapshot on my linux server to back it up to the disks rotated out at work in the static bag so I have off-sites for the MBP as well.

This can't be stressed enough to people that haven't experienced other touchscreens much.

I have a Harmony Ultimate One remote at home, and the last couple of days the touchscreen part has gotten very laggy, especially at scrolling the menu. It is super annoying after being used to things always responding on everything else I use. I found how to reboot the thing and am going to try that tonight to see if it helps.

I actually bought a Surface Pro 3 (with Windows 10 on it) a couple weeks ago, mostly for some on the road (but still actual PC) gaming, and it's... interesting. It's not a bad little computer, but the tablet mode... well frankly, it sucks. It's barely that usable, the keyboard popping up or not when needed is sketchy at best, and the pinch to zoom type features are complete shit. At least as an ipad user for browsing the web for some time now, it's horrible by comparison on the SP3 in tablet mode.

So they still haven't learned yet. Or at least not the right lesson.
