When Marketing gets more important than Development...

Its actually Ungrateful Colonists Insurgence Day.

What I did back when I painted miniatures was that I had a small box with the colors, and lent it to my friends, on the condition they added one color for every miniature they painted with it. Total win-win. It cost them 2.50 per figure, and the range of colors ever increased. In the end, there were over 30 pots in the box.

The language selectors in the system I have built are either English or native. And I can tell you, implementing and verifying over 100 languages in their native writing is quite a challenge.

If you want to put 250m subjects under the boot, you simply need a well-funded American GeStaPo.

Well, at least you now know that happens next in the US.

If you get into those coffee table books about the making of the first three movies, you find lots of world building.

You are well aware that those are retcon? None of this existed before "A New Hope". Most of it was done later by specialists hired by LucasFilm.

Now with his own GeStaPo with a budget bigger than most of the worlds militaries, he can finally eradicate any opposition with ease. Well done, American voters, you got yourself a Führer.

As most modern art as basically Rorschach cards on canvas, the interpretation (Illusion? Hallucination?) Is usually left to the viewer.

Democrats should give everyone killed by this bill a public face:

Tom Smith, 45, died because Republicans withheld his medication.

Anne Miller, 78, starved because Republicans struck her food stamps.

Amazing that a hotel owner hates tourism that much.

It really shows his inner beauty...

The authenticating chip we use has the same form factor as a little SMD transistor. It only needs three pins, power, ground, and one bidirectional communication pin. Good luck finding such a thing, especially if it is unmarked or custom labeled.

Life is too short to read crappy books. Like those we had to endure in school.

There you might be right. Shows that they are to dumb to know the meaning of it.

"Homo" in the sense of a taxonomy genus is Latin and means human, while the "homo"-prefix from e.g. "homosexual" comes from the Greek "homoi", meaning same, equal.

I hope he drags all those assholes into court for defamation.

I remember installing a fresh PC with win98. During installation, I disabled some windows bloatware (Imagine! You actually could do this!), and ended up with an unresponsive, non-windows app blocking the system. I killed that app and removed it from the system. Keep in mind that at this point, no network connection was set up, nor did I install any driver or program yet, this was straight from the windows install medium.

After reboot, the app was back, and again blocking the system.

Wiping the harddisk and starting installation over did not help either.

Turned out this was some bloatware installed by the BIOS whenever it detected at boot that there was a) a Windows installation that was b) "missing" their "register your PC with us" app. This needed some Windows bloatware to work, and thus failed on this machine.

This was the only time I angrily screamed at a hotline worker.

4th of July? You mean the Ungrateful Colonists Insurgence Day?

Well, they probably consider them to belong to the "homo superior" species.

Amazing research. But where to place the clasical clip (two wires in a plastic wrap)?
