Insanity

Absolutely love the bang searches in DDG. The most used for me is !w for sure, easily go to a wikipedia article. Only issue I have with it at the moment is that it tends to look for articles in my nat…

I realise this is a bit of a late comment and you might miss it. But is there any way to contact you? As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I am married to a Mexican woman and I was wondering what it …

What do their users want though? I am a user and have some counterpoints. I have been a premium user of spotify for over a year now and I actually really love it. Maybe I don't use as much featur…

I had no idea what to expect from that link but I'm happy I clicked it :D

Even if they would provide a full list of evertyhing they are collecting about you, how could you even prove that is really _everything_ as long as window is not OSS? I suppose you'd have to take…

It was more of a sadly-but-true statement than a joke, as I completely agree with you that there is a market there. Around the same time my friends and I started having families, most of us stopped ga…

Being punished to get into the game is annoying. I have been on both sides of it, and I actually understand the other side pretty well. On Left4Dead(1 and 2) I was part of those people "punishing…

That might say more about the average player of modern cod games than the AI to be honest.. Most pub games on cod are too easy and thus you might as well be shooting bots. I would be truely impressed …

Former gaming-addict here. Does the fact that people tend to spend more time on the multiplayer component of a game rather than the single player play any role in this 'not caring about AI'.…

Interesting data! I do wonder how this would compare to other countries.

European married to a Mexican woman (From Monterrey) here as well. She realises that there are bad things in Mexico, but sometimes she actually feels more scared here in Europe due to the terrorist ev…

Yeah I considered that too, but I have not actually made purchases through the VPN. I did not buy any games anymore for quite some years as I stopped gaming as much, thus when I started using the VPN …

Oh damn, I had no clue about this. I don't really game anymore, so I don't tend to buy anything on steam and have used it mostly for the occasional single player game and as a chat client. G…

Steam? I am currently using Steam with AIRVPN and have not experienced any problems at all.

Well, for the first part, just restrict internet access without turning the VPN on. (For me, I can not access any website when the VPN is not active). The last part of which you wrote is incredibly in…

Maybe I am being too naive, but could someone explain to me why just using a VPN would not be good enough to hide your traffic from these companies / governments? I understand that perhaps they _…

- FLAVOR : Desktop - HEADLINE: Fix UI for file extraction - DESCRIPTION: When I extract zip files, the UI when the extraction is done has all the buttons glued together. It is such a small thing that …

> I had never coded Qt nor C++ until I started Iaitō, Well, a project like that is surely a good way to just jump right in and learn it! Kudos for that!

Thanks for this post, it really is quite interesting! Tonight I'll try to set up the gba simulator and try to make something small in it as well. It looks quite fun :-)

You were not alone in this. I read about him some weeks or months ago because of some newspaper that features a 'scandal' about him. IIRC something about Disney dropping him from their netwo…

Yeah I doubt it is _that_ Deepak Chopra that you tend to think about when hearing that name ;-)

I was extremely skeptical of using Swing for a really large hospital application. But after working in it for quite some time, I have to say that with the right approach it is quite manageable. There …

Sure enough there have been arguments made for God (and against God) by philosophers, but that does not make any of these testable nor sufficient proof as we would understand it in science.

Used to keep quite well up to date with reading this blog some years ago, thank you for bringing it back to my attention!

Fair point about the computer being a mathematical construct. But is it the ideal one? (To be honest, I do think that there is a high chance we can model the brain like this). Thank you for the link!…

But what precisely are they testing? Which hypothesis of theirs? It does of course seem obvious that thay simulate it to test _something_. To me, that does not really satisfy the "Why" quest…

More problematic than it already is. But should we perhaps see these sysadmins as 'divine sysadmins'. In essence, they could fulfill the job that our God today does (not do). But here we onc…
