- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 1 day ago:
Better to go to GPLv3 games.
Because they are most scared that people don’t even want to pirate their shit.

There were hundreds of people with those back in the day on overclocking forums, a few got those chips to 6Ghz with liquid nitrogen.

Well is there any reason why you can’t just use kodi with a read-only network share?
- Comment on In this dire time ... 2 days ago:
I absolutely love this and will cherish them forever
- Comment on Does IT know something we dont? 5 days ago:
Yes, the answer is always yes.
But that is because you never read the documentation, the notes, the emails and never seem to remember what they told you during the call or when they met with you in person. You even forget about the teams of technical staff that saved millions or even billions of dollars.
IT is starting to wonder if we are the silent because this is quite irksome.

- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 1 week ago:
The answer is slow gaming. If it is not still known as a good game 5-10 years after release, it is not worth buying.
Also helps avoid games which vanish like a fart after they get your money.
- Comment on The Rapture could have happened, but nobody would know because everyone got left behind 1 week ago:
I know, my kids remind me.

Not enough garlic in that picture
- Comment on The Rapture could have happened, but nobody would know because everyone got left behind 1 week ago:
Well assuming the 100k rapture, only 1 in 60K people would be raptured.
So if it happened one person in an average city disappeared.
So if we can get a few thousand people to drop clothes on the streets on the same day, there would be no way for them to figure it out.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 week ago:
Ok look an article from 1997 which predicted this very thing
- Comment on Shh 2 weeks ago:
Well take the global number of people who do that and multiply it by their average yearly usage and then compare it against the global plastic straw usage in tons.
If it is far lower, it is fine.
If it is close or higher, just advocate for proper recycling/disposal.
- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 2 weeks ago:
That is not a single boss but an industry wide standard, like using metric vs imperial units. There is no market corrective mechanism in that case and thus quitting would be pointless.
But excellent point.
Another example would be requiring code to be written in Java or COBOL.
- Comment on Or the common cold! 2 weeks ago:
Well that would require us to be in a society that values scientific research and investing in the public interest.
Unfortunately we are living in an age of deception and greed.
- Comment on Do drug cartels let the US and other countries "catch" their shipments? Like the US caught 1 billion of drugs over here while we ship 6 billion worth of drugs over there? 2 weeks ago:
Well the smart cartels just pay a handful of people and the Trump administration uses military planes to transport the drugs into the country and then forgets all about it and funnels the money into the right pockets.
- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 2 weeks ago:
It is a sign that they have an unhealthy need to control others and it is best to get everyone to quit collectively
- Comment on Oh nooo! 2 weeks ago:
Godzilla is never a problem assuming that you are not a greedy industrialist or enslaving people.
If anything Godzilla means less giant monsters trying to eat people.
- Comment on What is the easiest way to have a self hosted git server? 2 weeks ago:
git init --bare
And then just ssh to the server to push/pull. It can’t be any simpler
- Comment on What is there to know about magnetic storage mediums? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on a couple different factors such as how robust you want the data encoded and the length of the tape.
Assuming 1mm thick tape encoding 11 bits (8 data, 3 error correction) per row at about 1mm wide and 10 meters of tape; you could store 10MB robustly. Higher density is more difficult but entirely possible.
- Comment on Why don't harvesting economies make as much money as manufacturing or service economies? 3 weeks ago:
Because you can only eat so much food but you can buy stuff limited only by your amount of money
- Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup. 3 weeks ago:
Just be careful cooking the kidney beans, improper cooking them can be fatal
- Comment on Just a Meme. :3 3 weeks ago:
The rule is never lend a penny to a friend that you expect to get back.
Giving $50 to someone you hate is a very cheap way to get them to avoid you.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
A $5 computer could be good enough if you are willing to learn and do things via the command line, ssh and carefully engineer it as you go
- Comment on The McDonald's employee who called on Luigi has never received their "reward", folks chasing the 100k for Kirk may not either... 3 weeks ago:
Over the last 20 years for every $2000 in reward money offered by law enforcement in the United States, less than $4 has been paid.
