Got proof?
Or is it just "They're nig-nogs and ragheads, so they're all criminals"?
You could RTFA:
"Although shops in all of Pakistan's major cities have been told of the ban, the game was still available on Friday in shops crammed with pirated CDs in the capital Islamabad."
In most ME countries they really don't give a fuck about piracy.
I realize that this guy's intentions are honorable, well maybe not, but this sounds like something that really shouldn't be done along the lines of Jurassic Park. With all of the problems in the world, we have a guy here who is trying to bring back an extinct race of people? Somehow I think that the old Nazi era eugenics movement never stopped.
Eugenics was a Progressive idea that started in Europe and the US long before the Nazis adopted it. "Three generations of imbeciles are enough!" comes from an 8-1 US Supreme Court decision, Buck v Bell in 1927.
They need "humans" with thicker skulls after all the brain damage lawsuits.
No one's fracturing their skull in football, it's squishing the brain up against it that does the damage.
I second that. MMOs have big cult followings among women.
Women are just different. They are social beings. They want to integrate people and technology into their already existing lives. Not use it to get away as a stress reliever like men. The fact you need downtime makes them resentful. However if sheis included like in Wow has an appeal.
Women are, in aggregate, different, but I wouldn't go so far as to assume that any particular woman is that way.
What we do know is she's not a gamer, and that's more than just not knowing how the console works.
If it's a movie one person in a relationship doesn't like, they can zone out or just snuggle. With gaming, though, it's very different because if both parties aren't playing, the game is over.
Aside from the frustration of learning the game, not being good at it sucks, and losing sucks. You have to learn, when you're new at gaming, how to handle that frustration without it getting all personal or heated, or you're not going to enjoy it.
I think that's easier to do when there are people around and you're going to get more commentary and teasing from the peanut gallery, and that can be beneficial because you get more immediate feedback. But most of all you can just stop and let someone else take the controller and not feel like you're obliged to be playing.
This is a joke, right? Even the tone of this is utterly rediculous.
It's "ridiculous", from the verb ridicule. (Yes, I know, feeding the troll, but some people honestly don't know how to spell that word.)
Thats really unfair on the baby. How would you like to be related to a Kardashian?
OK, am I the only one who finds it fucking hilarious this was modded Insightful?
Oh, c'mon! When you read this post, deep inside you that 12-year old just screamed out, "OOHHH, BUUUUUURRRRRN!!!" and you know it.
That's pretty much what Insightful means in that context...
Get friends together so she's not the only inexperienced person, and so she can take a break when she wants. Do stuff like Rock Band that is cooperative and easily adjusted for new players.
Anybody poke around yet to see how they do the client-side encryption w/o a plugin? I suppose it could be done in Javascript. Another thought I had is maybe using the SSL stream its self and storing that. I would hope they are at least not using Java or Flash.
In any case, I would imagine that this would attract a lot of attention to see just how secure the mechanism is.
SSL wraps the entire HTTP session, so by the time your Javascript is running, everything is arriving as clear text.
There are any number of Javascript crypto libraries, and for small files it's probably Good Enough.
Sounds more like an acknowledgment that, 'Yes, we KNEW we were hosting pirated binaries before, but now we're much more clever at it".
It's more, "it's not our job to police our members and we've made it computationally impossible for us to do so."
This will obviously be watched very closely by some fellows with a lot of power.
Yes it's obvious that unknown persons with an unquantified amount of indeterminate influence will be watching a public website with an unspecified degree of closeness through some unmentioned mechanism.
but the search results were so often so much worse than of Google's that it eventually just got too clunky.
That's the awkward thing about principles, sometimes they require a little inconvenience. That's why few people exhibit any principles these days, unless the law demands it.
The more people that stick with DDG the better it will become.
What principle was this, again?
Whereas the drivel on Facebook and Twitter has virtually no context what-so-ever except for the immediately preceding sentence of drivel.
If all you see is drivel on Facebook, then you need a better quality of friend, or maybe you just need to care about other human beings.
I've got plenty of smart, talented friends on Facebook, and they routinely post drivel. Hell, looking back at my posts, many of them are drivel, and I actually try to edit what I write.
If you think there's great quality stuff on Facebook, you need to be more critical.
I know it's verboten to point out any downside to this sort of thing, in this age of "Everything should be free and open!" But I just wanted to point out, before the flood of "This is great!" and "All academics should do this!" posts that are inevitably to follow, that those commercial publishers and traditional academic journals employ a lot of people who still need to feed their families. Converting to free and open source everything, whatever you opinion of it, does have casualties.
And someone has to pay for the research, and the researchers themselves have to actually get published or they have no career. So let's also think of the consumers' families and the researchers' families as well/
phobicity?
weren't phobia and
Foophobia is the fear or hatred of foo. Foophobicity is the degree of fear or hatred of foo.
You, madame, have obviously been home schooled.
Lameness like that could only come from a Rachel Maddow fan.
This has exactly nothing to do with "having to justify" anything, but rather FIGURING OUT WHAT IS BROKEN instead of firing from the hip.
So the Donald "Duck" Trump style "you're fired!" approach makes little sense unless you are actually firing someone who is heavily contributing to the problem. And this is not proven at all wrt teachers and how schools work.
Except that millions of people are firing the public school system, even while they're still paying taxes for it.
I've been in both public and private schools, and the public schools let students run around like madmen. I've even been back to volunteer at public schools, and some inner city schools are so loud it's like walking into a jet engine. Students just do whatever the fuck they please, teachers are dispirited and all looking for transfers.
But that's just an anecdote. In Chicago, the real educational authorities have spoken: almost 40% of Chicago teachers have fired their school system, sending their kids to private schools.
The whole notion that we have to continually prop up a firm that is failing is bullshit. That's what got us "too big to fail" with completely broken banks or companies like GM. Those firms should have been liquidated and someone else given a chance to make something that works.
And the same is true of schools. There is nothing special about the public school system that makes it the ideal vehicle for educating children. If anything, it's probably going to be obsolete in 20 years time.
