Quite agreed on the idea of mandatory emergency response training. Emergency Management is my field so its something that I feel as a professional would save enough lives to make it worthwhile. We do have the Community Emergency Response Teams which half-heartedly replaced the older local Civil Defense organizations

The PS3 OS was a modified version of FreeBSD, as the PS4 is as well. They didn't have much choice, even if the Linux kernel was permissive (which it isn't), its support for the Cell architecture didn't and doesn't match the support that the *BSDs tend to have for it.

Eric, is this related to the big one that the PLA does every year that encompasses the mandatory Military education at the Universities? Or do the People's Armed Police, who I'm assuming these guys are, do their annual training separately? And they SHOULD be training as hard as they can be, especially with NATO

Government Agency thinks people are idiots, Bears found to defecate in forested areas, and the Bishop of Rome is verified as a Catholic. Film at 11.

Ah thats it, you actually had the balls to volunteer while most dependas have no clue, at BCT you get a clue extremely fast, Day 0 is an experience that has to be lived to believe. Just seeing it on YouTube (if they have any videos like that anyway) or acted out in a Movie isn't the same as having four DS in your face

Someone needs to find them and promptly kick their teeth down their throats for screwing with a charity that helps deployed soldiers, I don't give a fuck if some pussy behind a botnet doesn't like the Armed Forces or wants to be cute by messing with someone else's charitable activity. Somebody needs to go find a prick

No, they were initially designed to evacuate cities during an nuclear attack with bombers before the era of the ICBM being the nuclear delivery system of choice, and then for the Army National Guard to respond to the attack along with Civil Defense authorities in local areas. Emergency Management as such didn't exist

Are these guys (not rooster teeth obviously) actually in the Military or are Veterans? I've never heard of them and I'm a Vet, so if its a legit Veterans' or Military charity then I'd like to give them some of my money.

While I think its a great idea, I don't really get how they plan to do this on the administrative side. I worked in the Army as a career counselor for awhile and I can guess, but its going to be a headache for their version of HRC. Personally I'd just create a new category in the Individual Ready Reserve, a part of

Their co-lo centers aren't listed, though thats not surprising because usually co-locations are under Non-Disclosure Agreements. Also they aren't listing their experimental datacenter in California at the Googleplex. Nor do they publicize their peering agreements between themselves and the public backbones owned by

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.
