Same. I think Civ 5 was my gateway game.

This was an amazing and informative answer. Thank you.

I'd multiply that x509.

I drink my whiskey straight from the Klein bottle.

Holy shit, I remember being excited for 2.4 because of iptables. That was over twenty years ago.

Grainger seems alright. Better than Uline anyway.

He's definitely on the jazz!

I don't think I got them all.

I could be way off base here, but I'd probably start with the 32-bit version of Windows 7 to hack it into working.

First, you want a 32-bit OS -- unless you can get one of the 16-bit OSes virtualized well, but I have no experience with that. 32-bit Windows has NTVDM for running emulated 16-bit apps. 64-bit Windows only has the WOW64 (Windows-on-Windows) emulator for running 32-bit apps.

Also, Windows 7 has a large collection of shims and compatibility layers built in, plus a ton of tweaks you can do with the Application Compatibility Toolkit. I don't know if there are ACT limitations with 16-bit apps though since I haven't had to do any serious work with it since the XP -> 7 upgrade wave.

I was one of those people. I still maintain hope, but the fear of what the algorithms will do outweighs that hope some days.

The thinking was that people's core opinions are formed while they are young. They are mostly inherited from your family and society around you, so that information bubbles are formed early that are hard to break out of.

I thought that if people were exposed to multiple cultures and ideas from a young age through the Internet, they would understand them better -- not just as foreign concepts told to them through a thick lens of bias from their parents and teachers.

However, I failed to predict the opposite powers. First were the echo chambers that formed, strengthening the deepest dark sides of humanity that, before, were kept locked away in basements lacking anyone with whom to discuss and provide validity. Then the corpos and MBAs figured out they could psychology game us all with algorithms. They didn't necessarily know at first that the negative content would be the best for driving engagement; but they didn't care either.

So right now I think the bad is outweighing the good. But I don't think it has to stay this way forever.

Yeah, this is FSKAX over 3 years. I have a lot of my portfolio in it and it does well. It's up 24% over that period.

A) Nope. You're spreading FUD. Got a link?

B) I'm ignoring you. You're talking gibberish.

B2) You're still wrong and in over your head. Remember, the ask was for an out of box solution for full drive encryption, silently decrypted via TPM (using Secure Boot's PCR 7) that still supports OS hibernation.

C) Wut?

 

Berlin artist Simon Weckert used 99 phones and a handcart to create a "virtual traffic jam" on Google Maps

 

Sure it's almost worthless with blackout restrictions if you're in your team's market. But free is free and it sometimes comes in handy when traveling.

Redeem by April 1st.
