Looks to me like spies, someone aping spies, or someone doing some kind of weird research.

I agree with your last sentence the most, I honestly believe that a Chinese OS would be more of a solution looking for a problem to solve, than actually doing anything differently, and there's enough issues in supporting three operating system families and their ecosystem as it is, if you take strict POSIX-compliance…

They want a homemade OS, but they choose a kernel made by a Swedish speaking Finn and a userland based on GNU's toolchain. Not very homemade. Thats like Microsoft saying we wanted a homegrown UNIX and could have just refreshed Xenix, but we went and licensed HP-UX instead. China could very well write their own kernel…

They don't look "stupid" to me. Hell, the GIF looks like Marcus from Fallout more than a ninja turtle to me honestly. And Marcus sure as hell doesn't look or sound stupid.

I choose 2 myself. It honestly sounds like he's schilling, but I have no idea who he'd be a paid schill for. I mean there are the usual suspects: Google and Forbes. An article like that is going to generate significant ad revenue, thus being textbook clickbait as we established. A company like Forbes can do some…

Ok, ok. You got me. I wasn't being entirely honest.

It is canon until CBS puts something out in the prime universe that contradicts it. Thats what I was getting at but not as clear as I would have liked.

Not saying you did or didn't. And regardless of the clickbait nature of the article, IMO it was still a decent read (the extracts on Kotaku anyway, I didn't read the Forbes article) but mostly because I'm fascinated as to why someone would spend 300 hours playing a game that they claim to not especially like.

Its a bit more complex, the movies and TV shows have canonical primacy, that is if a game or book says something and then a film/show contradicts it, the film/show is what CBS considers canon. And CBS maintains quite a bit of control over their canon, they've shot down ideas that were developed for Star Trek Online on…

What? The Souls series? I have to agree. Overrated steaming piles of shit that people like because other people tell them to.

Its clickbait. So instead of ignoring it, reading and commenting on another article as you probably should have to not reward Gawker Media for shitty behavior, you clicked AND commented so the Author did his job.

Yeah? Well riddle me this, what's with the "Hot Hamster Sex" banner ad at the top of zzt.org? And why isn't ABP and/or Ghostery blocking it? I have both and it usually works for everything, except hot hamster sex apparently.

I don't usually comment here, but damned near everyone carries a herpes simplex viral load. You may not be symptomatic but I can virtually guarantee that a viral count from cerebrospinal fluid on any random person is more than likely going to come back positive, even when antibody counts from blood tests don't show…

I'll actually be in New Mexico when this happens. It should make the Albuquerque Journal worth buying for once.

Looks like someone let the Privates use the unit sharpies again

Get some way to override the controller that controls the battery, you could certainly do it through software, and probably hardware by shorting out a couple pins on the mainboard for the power and battery controller randomly, and when you're ready to go, plug the bastard into a DC line. Id imagine it would either…

Ive been playing STO since it launched, I love it, I actually found myself playing STO longer than ESO yesterday, ESO is going to take forever and I know it but I'm a fleet commander, have to do administration all the bleeding time. I would never have taken the job if I would have known that after Fleets started to…

Hey now, it can't be all that bad. My two year old loves that game.

Thats odd. They never pre-authorized me and I bought my sub three days ago. Every transaction over 50 dollars I make on that card the bank sends me a text message about, but then again I bought the six month option and that very well may have something to do with it. I don't make big expenditures on gaming usually,…
