Hmm, they're supposed to update my PC to Windows 7 after work tomorrow. Since I need to take Thursday off, hopefully my PC isn't f'ed up when I get back Friday.
@EonRustedduPlessis It's safe to say that you should get better acquainted with the people you're talking weirding to before going to those levels of weird.
I got my two royal pistols the double barrel pistols and every time I fast travel anywhere it always changes one of my pistols to the Scottish flintlock pistols but it keeps my other royal pistol how can I keep both of them
@3ventic There will be; if you integrate DRM into the very building blocks of the internet, it won't take long for them to be used in a manner that wasn't accounted for, and it will be abused.
@3ventic Also: how much chance do you give that new open standard? I give it no chance at all. Since every commercial website is going to use the closed one.
DRM in its own right is good, but it's almost exclusively implemented really badly and they end up being restrictive pieces of shit that don't even work
@3ventic Yeah. So if DRM must be implemented, let it be built around the open standard, so that the features are not the core blocks of what the internet is all about.
@Arperum Well, it could bring something new. Fixing some of the big flaws HTML (and even HTTP in itself) has had forever, by getting a clean slate.
Or it could turn out to be a horribly pretentious hackery done by a couple of kids in their basement thinking they're all cool and fancy by defying "teh big corporashons" ...
The latter probably being more likely, since most of us are just going to suck it up because this is our paychecks we're talking about, rather than doing anything about it.
I mean, I certainly wouldn't risk my job for a fight against the W3C.
It would be good to have it integrated if and only if it's implemented in a way that doesn't restrict the end user too much, but I oppose the idea because it most certainly won't.
Both this and this question provide good advice for various types of rocket-jumping, and I have followed these jumping techniques to the best of my ability, but there is one technique that continues to elude me as a solider.
Rapid forward momentum.
My rocket jumps carry a little forward mome...
@FEichinger I code stuff (well, streaming controlling software) for TV and radio stations at the moment. No DRM in sight for our software, anywhere.
The most we have to do with DRM is "insert that stream into that Cisco encoder there and try to get it out on that other port, hoping it doesn't screw up."
The only DRM involved with my content creation is the HDCP I gleefully and easily crack to record games...and youtube's...not really DRM so much as "making it obtuse to download videos"
Crazy Canadian Alert! My office is having an official break in 30 minutes so that we can gather and watch the unveiling of the Canadian men's Olympic hockey team.
Any assets you use for the site, stock photos, third-party icons. Heck, depending on how far they take it (if it does get included in the standard), it could also apply to the written word - press releases, company portfolios.
If suits want their "work" protected - or that you use someone else's licensed work - you'll get the choice to either implement that steaming pile of bullshit or go looking for a new job. I, for one, am not looking forward to that.
@Frank Not to mention they tend to favor corporations rather than the actual content creators they profess to protect. But that's probably not a surprise to anyone.

There are three achievements for each ship; you start with the TYPE A layout, and when you have completed two of the three achievements, you unlock the type TYPE B layout for that ship.
If you are trying to get the third ship achievement (just for the sake of completeness), can you use the TYPE ...
@OrigamiRobot Companies are not loyal to their employees. Stagnations and complacency sets in around that point, and you're no longer treated as someone they need to value. If they don't give you a raise to keep you, then it's time to find another job. They'll punt you at the first opportunity if they want to.

@OrigamiRobot Doesn't matter. Two years is roughly the shelf life for any job. Unless they're willing to keep providing large raises to keep me, I'm out. Even then, I need to grow in my job. Just doing the same old thing doesn't fly for me.
Because as much as I bitch about Sharepoint, it was a challenge. And it's a valuable skill set to have.
@Frank It can be a tough decision to weigh, especially if you've never moved before. I guess it depends on what the cost/benefit ratio is for your skillset/career versus potential unhappiness/difficulty with moving.
Also how easy it is to get a work visa, move your stuff, etc. If you do decide to stay for only 2~ years, like you usually do at a job, if it turns out you're not super satisfied, you can always look at it as you just have to ride it out for another x amount of time and then you can go back.
@FAE Getting the work visa would probably be the biggest annoyance. Most of the jobs I'm seeing say, "Must be eligible for full-time employment in the US"
And I don't have the slightest clue how to go about doing that.
Every game on Steam has a different Game ID. For instance, looking on my own computer, Portal has an ID of 400, and FTL: Faster Than Light is 212680.
How do I find this ID for a specific game on Steam?
Can I play imported Japanese Wii games (not Wii U games) on a US Wii U in the Wii mode? I want to know if it will work before I invest in importing a Japanese Wii game.
Thanks
@Wipqozn I can't recall anyone here off the top of my head who lives there. I have a friend who does, but they're not a user here.
@RedRiderX Yeah, it's usually advisable to visit a place before you move there. Some people don't have to and will just up and move somewhere, but if it's for something like a big career move, often advisable to check it out, see what cost of living is, etc.

Maybe you should just show better judgement when replying to contacts then? If it's just a picture of boobs, 99% chance it's no one you know, and is just a porn site type thing.
