But that for my money seems be the 'marketing' problem with the Future Circular Collider. CERN built the Large Hadron Collider to find the Higgs boson. Now we've found it. Then since the LHC is already there and building it was the expensive part we keep it going to do further research. Okay. But now CERN wants to build the FCC and it's going to cost an absolute fortune. Why? What are they building it for? It doesn't seem like CERN can give us a simple answer and yet they want us to give them a lot of money. We need a better reason than some nebulous "do more research".

Make sure he's conscious? I'm genuinely unsure at this point.

Show of hands? Anyone?

Fuck off. Third party verification is the only way you ever know if stuff like this really works! Of course Tesla and Musk will tell you it works, they want you to buy it! And of course Tesla buyers will tell you it works, they paid good money for it and the sunk cost fallacy exists. So if they're the only people you can find telling me it works then I'm assuming it's bullshit.

That's nice and all but this plan calls for a "self-sustaining city in about 20 years". The whole needing to wear space suits because we're in a near-vacuum atmosphere doesn't sound very self-sustainable.

Can we not? Please? Can we just... not?

I'm constantly amazed that so many people on Slashdot want to put the GNOME Foundations problems down to 'outreach programs' and 'SJWs' rather than the fact that GNOME is piece of shit and nobody wants to use it, hence nobody wants to support the foundation behind it.

Don't believe me? KDE has its own outreach program for women, yet you don't hear about them having the same problems. Why? Because KDE fucking works, it's perfectly usable (for now at least), so not even the most anti-SJW types give a shit because good software is good software!

This actually increasingly angers me because it pretends that if GNOME just killed their outreach program, all would be fine, when it obviously wouldn't. So if you just want to talk about the software itself, nobody's stopping you. But if your first criticism of GNOME is a bloody outreach program, then I'd say you're at least as bad as any SJW you criticise.

I don't see why this is considered a problem. Pass the bill anyway, make him veto it, get Trump to put himself on the wrong side of yet another issue. You either force him to do something he'd rather not or he sits back and lets it pass. What's the harm in trying?

I don't understand why this is modded down.

Because he's using the decline of the GNOME Project as an excuse to indulge his hate-boner for feminism. Seriously, what is the 2006 outreach to women post doing on that list? Can anyone give any good reason why that event lead to the next event and everything else on that list? Because I certainly can't think of any.

Gnash. It's perfectly happy to load locally-stored SWF files and if they're old enough to work on Flash Player 7 (which was released in 2003) then they'll probably work on Gnash.

I'd add that a quick look at the fansubs sites I follow shows a fair bit of fragmentation at the moment. AniDex and minglong seem the most popular choices right now, with (new) Nyaa a distant third and Nyaa Pantsu nobody's first choice so far. Anything could change, but that's what I'm seeing so far.

My first home computer was a 486 DX2/66 with 4MB RAM, a (surprisingly capable) Cirrus Logic SVGA graphics chip with 1MB VRAM, a Sound Blaster 16, a 503MB HDD, double-speed CD-ROM drive, high density 3.5 inch floppy disk drive, and a 14 inch CRT monitor with built-in speakers. Being that it was 1996 by the time I got it, this was not the most capable machine money could buy, but it did teach me a lot about computers and I enjoyed a fair bit of classic DOS gaming on it. I upgraded the RAM to 16MB later on before donating it to a school in 1999 and getting a brand-new Pentium III 450 with 128MB RAM and an Nvidia Riva TNT. I've since gone through an AMD Athlon XP 2100+ with ATI Radeon 8500LE, Core 2 Duo E6750 with Nvidia GeForce 8800GT, and I'm currently using a Core i7-6850K with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060. I've also gone from MS-DOS 6.2 to Windows 95 to Windows 98 to Windows XP to Ubuntu Linux to Debian GNU/Linux. It's been a journey.

...viable alternatives like sinit, openrc , runit, s6 and shepherd. All are therefore included in Devuan.

Not to be a dick, but the answer is right there in the description. You could take just a few more seconds before rushing to reply.

A story about how gamers from the 90s turned out okay. At first things seems great, people talk about how obvious this was, how earlier predictions of 'moral decay' turned out to be nonsense, that we're all perfectly well-adjusted reasonable people. Then someone mentions Anita Sarkessian.

Oh dear. We were doing so well too...

I won't be buying their products either but that's got less to do with DRM and more to do with the pair of 'wet & dry' electric shavers I bought that died because water got into the electrics. Seriously, you're supposed to be able to use these things in the shower. After eighteen months of dry shaving and washing the head out with water (as the instruction manual tells you to) it died on me. Putting that down to just bad luck I bought an identical model to replace it. Six months of the same treatment killed that one too.

Now I'm sure there are many reasons such things could die, but I noticed something in retrospect that was quite telling. After washing the head out with water I would always dry my shavers thoroughly and leave it air out for 24 hours before using it again. Near the time they died I noticed something that should've been more worrying now I look back. As I said I took dry shaves but after a few minutes of shaving I would noticed my hand was wet. Now since my hands started out dry, the shaver itself was dry on the outside, and there were no other sources of water to be found, there was only one place that water could be coming from. Upon inspection of both shavers I found that a back panel that was flush with the front when they were new had bowed out to a significant degree. Doesn't take a genius to work that one out.

So yeah, nuts to DRM. I spent the best part of £150 of those pieces of crap and they died before even making it to the two year mark where I was told to replace the shaving head. It may be worth noting also that the one that lasted eighteen months was labelled as being made in the Netherlands while the one that lasted just six months was made in China. So far from getting better I think Phillips is actually lowering their already inadequate build quality.

So now I'm struggling with wet shaves and working out what to do next. Buying Phillips is obviously right out, but it seems everyone is making wet & dry shavers and advocating the same washing out treatment that killed these things. I love the convenience (and lack of pain) that dry shaving brings but what the hell am I supposed to buy? I'm tempted to hope the high-end shavers will come with the high-end build quality to withstand a bit of water but then these were high-end too! I'm at a loss.
