More important than breaking up PGE, we should nationalize the distribution infrastructure. PGE has demonstrated time and again that they lack the necessary responsibility. I refer again to burning down much of Paradise, CA by skipping maintenance, as the fire was caused by a line falling because a hook wore through due to being in service for 99 years. Surely they could have caught that with an inspection any time over several decades as the wear would have been easily visible long before failure, if only they had actually done inspections.

PGE is in fact now complaining that they cannot reasonably maintain some of the primary infrastructure we depend on for literally our entire society to function, so we should reasonably just take them at their word and take it away from them. They have been poor stewards at best.

It can't simulate emotion. It can simulate an emotional response. The difference is critical and every human who gets emotionally involved with AI is making the same mistake.

We know that you don't care about children because you are in favor of child rape.

No one is running away, but you child rapists sure do run at the mouth.

The problem is there are many many different pieces of hardware which would have to be supported and nobody is bothering. Most of the RGB hardware uses its own interface instead of a standard. So instead this generic driver for direct hardware access has been used. The situation on Linux is actually not very different, except on Linux there are udev rules which make it possible to assign permissions to specific devices to users or groups and have more security than you get when doing the same thing on Windows.

You know how you can tell that rapeublicans know they're pieces of shit? They get big mad when you repeat their garbage back to them.

What's needed is rules banning selling disposable lithium-ion batteries at all. Their existence is offensive. There are even rechargeable button cells now.

I got a board with RGB so I decided I'd try it out. It's USB-connected so I figured it would be decent. Nope it's total shit with no direct mode, good work ASRock. But by that time I had some LED peripherals so I bought a Nollie 8ch controller which was very cheap and... I like RGB. It's convenient to see how loaded my CPU and GPU are at a glance. Internal USB hubs are practically free now so connecting them is a breeze. The kids are all right.

Unlike the systemd vote where they deliberately skipped asking a lot of people?

You must be American, you think 100 years is a long time

If this persists China will simply build more fabs, and more quickly than anyone else. So what if it's old-ish tech, at least they will have it.

That was a failure, but the first failure was not recognizing it wasn't ready for a research project either. When they realized it was going to have to be heavy and bulky, they should have stopped and either iterated the design again, or smarter IMO, waited for tech to improve (or push it) and then done another design. OTOH Apple can afford to lose the money...

Glad to hear they are still kicking. I hear there's also some Linux-based stuff now but I haven't seen it yet, I'm afraid I'm not much in the market for new cars.

What code they are based on is irrelevant. Slashdot still has a very simple interface (I am using it right now, it is still the best interface) which is easy for bots to interface to using the DOM. Whether it's Perl or C# or Ada underneath makes no difference.

The real question, therefore, is why are we still being subjected to this cowardly anonymous bullcrap? This management has turned off AC posting before, and you could say they turned it back on only because post counts tanked, but have you seen post counts recently? It's now horribly rare to break 100.

Slashdot needs a major overhaul, and I don't mean of the code though that will of course have to change. I mean specifically that mod abuse and AC trolling are driving away every serious poster. My thanks to those of you who still remain, but most of you post less and less, not that I blame you. I presume you're here less, too.

He tricked them into doing it, if anything that will work against him. They are allowed to lie to you, you are not allowed to lie to them.
