- Comment on Former Microsoft engineer explains why Windows 'sucks' now 23 minutes ago:
it’s not that it was too sensitive, it was that windows was previously a lawless land where every application had full access to the entire system. you’re bound to get some compatibility issues from that.
- Comment on Former Microsoft engineer explains why Windows 'sucks' now 25 minutes ago:
yeah because driver were previously allowed to do whatever the hell they wanted with the system and vista introduced a baselevel of security.
the rollout was a mess, the os really wasn’t. which is a surprise considering the development story.

instead of asking obviously leading questions, why not tell people what you know?
- Comment on Former Microsoft engineer explains why Windows 'sucks' now 2 hours ago:
vista was also a good system. the market just tried to push it on people with hardware which was not up to the task. when 7 released, compatible hardware was already in place.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 1 day ago:
that’s why i added the last paragraph. onelive, stadia and airconsole all tcied doing exclusives.
- Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing? 2 days ago:
This probably is already a thing
correct. it’s called cloud gaming. examples of services include AirConsole, Amazon Luna, PlayStation Plus, Xbox Cloud, GeForce Now, InstantAction, G-cluster, Gaikai, GameFly, Google Stadia, Jump, Kalydo, LiquidSky, OnLive, Playcast and PSNow.
most of them have shut down. the ones that still exist are either offering streaming games as a value-add to other services, or marketing themselves as value-adds for other companies to include in their own product.

since the pH scale is logarithmic^-1^ you’d need to be veeeery particular about the amount of lemon. i think you need 100l water to neutralize 1ml lemon juice

- Comment on Lara Croft is a Sociopath 1 month ago:
the game would have been better if they took the combat out entirely, save for some one-on-one fights. it’s a shame that they’re done with the series, it was finally approaching “playable indy film” territory.
the achievement means they knew, and put the monster closet shit in anyway.

pointing out that you’re doing a thing does not qualify as parody of that thing
- Comment on Lara Croft is a Sociopath 1 month ago:
i think so. i don’t really have a problem with that. as the narrator says in the stanley parable, what kind of story has the main character die halfway through
- Comment on Lara Croft is a Sociopath 1 month ago:
uncharted is the worst for this because the fights add basically nothing. the games are great humourous adventure serials occasionally broken up by obligatory murderous rampages. after my first playthrough of uncharted 2 it showed that i had done over 200 headshots alone. friend of mine had something like 1500.

you can tap into the resonance frequency of the warp field to stabilise the wave but you’d need to disable a level of core safeguards while materialising.

oh the Ahlquist et al population study with 2.5 million participants was marked “low quality” due to “exposure limitations”.
can someone explain to me how you limit exposure in a population study?
