Good writeup on a subject most people never think about. Ive worked in Government here in Florida for quite awhile, I remember one time I visited a Cuban family to take their information, they were already citizens by virtue of the the Cold War era laws about Cuba, they had dry feet, they got a citizenship…

Ive been saying the same thing since 2008. Obama = Bush with some refinement and some added liberal buzzwords. I doubt that nearly anyone could tell Bush's platform from 2004 apart from Obama's in 2008, except deregulation (Started by Clinton's administration, embraced by Bush's, repudiated by Obama's) was over and…

If you have a network device running a firmware you can execute commands on, you could always set up another SSID using WEP on the same hardware (if the Firmware's any good, Cisco's IOS stuff running on VxWorks and DD-WRT running on a Linux Kernel and RT patches can both do this. Some networking radios can't do it…

You kind of freak out on go on a massive killing spree whenever you turn into a Werewolf if you can stand all the bugs in the Companions questline. Thats about as close as it gets to going crazy on Argonian drugs as Skyrim gets though. Even drinking/snorting/smoking or whatever it is you do with skooma doesn't really…

Assholes will be assholes, plus people in competitive settings are prone to talking alot of trash in general, so mute them if they're pissing you off. Sucks that you have to but that's life, people do act fucked up sometimes. If you're thin skinned or prone to being pissed off, maybe you should do yourself a favor and…

It was mostly because of having to scrounge money to rent the game you wanted was something I have done more times than I can count, I seriously relate to it. I used to go so far as to panhandle for Earthbound and Chrono Trigger, so I know what you mean.

I'm going to go long winded on you, but since the theme today is…

I remember the first time you posted that on the Earthbound article. I laughed then and I'm still laughing now.

You were the writer who published the only tip I've ever submitted, about the kid bringing the weapons to school and his parents blaming it on Minecraft.

So I will say that it is sad to see you go. There are other authors that I wish would go somewhere else, but you're not one of them. Nor have you ever published…

Well, if their definition of success is making a profit, then I'm sure that its a complete success. That's the problem. They got their money for it whether someone who purchased is still playing or not. They don't see that the quality of their software is really what determines their fate.

I don't know how old you…

The OS itsself was indeed a UNIX. It was most likely IRIX, Silicon Graphics Inc's version of UNIX actually.

As I recall you can see the /bin, /dev, /opt, and /usr directories (its been a long time. but you can see at least one of them and it kind of gives it away) as well as some deeper directories. If you've ever…

Maybe next time they won't release a game that seems to me to be pretty broken, and is still broken in some ways months after release. I haven't played BF4 but I did play a bit of BF3 and it seems like alot of the issues are pretty severe and should have been fixed before adding features.

I really wonder how some of…

You must be very new to Video Game journalism then. I remember the old school magazines constantly reporting on

Cancer for him and AIDS for her. Or maybe something rare and extremely painful, Leptospirosis and Marburg fit the bill. Neither of them sound like winners but I think this is bullshit (I believe they call it clickbait) regardless.

If God/Demiurge/Whatever weren't a depraved pervert the world wouldn't be any fun.

Foreigners not understanding or speaking the local language but expecting locals to speak theirs is the stupidest complaint I've ever heard. Its like the Brazilians that visit Florida expecting us to know Portuguese, they get fucking ornery when you can't or only know a few words. Its much more fair when the…

I personally visit malware analysis blogs, like Xylitol's for instance, on a daily basis. None of it relates to cheating but its most likely close enough to something like that to warrant attention from Valve that I don't want. But you could always write a script to clean your dns cache every time a new entry is made,…

Oh okay. Didn't read the Vice Article. First picture looks like Fort Benning or Fort Jackson.

Its probably different TTPs and equipment. I know for a fact their doctrine's the same as us, they're NATO. We agree on nearly everything through NATO STANAGs, which cover everything from the magazines we use to basic Order…

No prob. Its just how it is.

Honestly in the Army, and especially in my Branch and Military Occupational Specialty there isn't much use of weapons (thankfully, because we don't get the nice toys that Combat Arms do, we're about as well equipped as an Army Reserve unit. Don't get me wrong, a pissed off unit from any…

Generally NATO and most allied countries (Japan, Australia/NZ, a few others) follow US doctrine, so I'd be willing to bet at least all of NATO does the same thing.

Yeah its in the movie and the novel. But like alot of Clancy's work, its based on reality. They do that at sniper school at Fort Benning during the third week. If you get caught I think five times, you're either recycled (have to start over) or dropped from the school.
