The way I heard it, the government used a specific language for "have sexual relations with" (hereinafter HSRW):
A HSRW B if the mouth, hands, or genitals of A touch the genitals of B.
Any hackernews regular would notice that HSRW is not associative - as in it is entirely possible for A HSRW B to be true, but B HSRW A to be false; in fact this was the case for if A's mouth touches B's genitals; A HSRW B but !(B HSRW A).
You can whine and plead and ask the question 4,000 times, but at the end of the day, if one don't understand logic, you might be a Republican Senator in the 1990's.
Clinton's claim was effectively that he believed the definition was not associative for that specific statement. There was also the later statement which he described Monica's statement about having not had a sexual relationship as true.
The trial court disagreed that these statements truthfully responded to the deposition, and fined him for his misleading answer.
I still use my XO-1 for work I can do with a console (via SSH with vi, tmux, etc).
Alas, a web browser is kinda required for modern dev work, and an 18 year old machine with 128 MB of ram doesn't cut it. rdesktop, x forwarding, vnc, etc are all too slow.
I considered removing the screen and trying to transplant it to a modern machine, but it looks like many months work to rebuild the electrical interfaces and custom pixel layouts etc.
I enjoy reading articles (even if this one felt like it had been translated slightly clumsily) where scientific rigor has been applied to something mundane.
I started making my own tracker music at 15. Grab yourself a tracker and a bunch of samples and give it a go. For me it was FastTracker II and ripping samples from the .mod and .s3m and .xm files I could find.
Yours will probably be Milktracker, Modplug Tracker, Schism Tracker, and a bunch of royalty-free sample packs online.
Yeah your first module will suck. It's OK. They all do. Soon you'll be discovering open fifths. Then inversions. Then suspended chords. Then modes. Then panning tricks, portamentoes, playing with the all the effects and envelopes and all the cute tricks invented in trackers since I last used one.
I use samples from some SF2s as well, specifically this odd Super Nintendo styled SF2 I downloaded years ago because some samples in it are super cool and weird not to mention the perfect sample rate and size, specifically this oddly-heavenly sounding nylon acoustic guitar, but for electric guitars (which I wanna experiment with making metal in trackers) I use FM guitars because they just shred hard as hell for some unknown reason. I use OpenMPT on Windows but I've heard there are others that are much better. I saw the website for Renoise but looking at some screenshots, it really gives me the "what the fuck do I do here and how" kind of feeling software like FL Studio or Cubase gives me. I also love sampling voices, I have this old WAV from the 90s of some guy from IBM talking about what information technology would become, and sampling him is funny.
I don’t know if you’ve already run across this but you might like Ableton’s Learning Synths site and also Syntorial. They’re both more on the side of learning to program synthesizers than using the DAWs themselves, but I always wished I had learned earlier about how all those knobs worked.
> You're conflating "I can't get the diagnostic repair codes that Taylor can" with "Kids are going to get hurt because the machine is malfunctioning"
But the article and the linked vice.com article suggests that the device isn't just decoding error codes, it's also providing a hardware bypass for safety features like lockouts.
no, the article says "groups seek permission from the government to break arbitrary software locks and passwords that keep consumers and repair professionals from diagnosing and repairing equipment they own or are authorized by the owner to work on." It doesn't mention "lockouts", or bypassing safety features. It's about access to the machine, and the diagnostics that a repair person has access to, but the owner does not.
The franchise owner is the machine owner, and therefore can cause a repair person to become “authorized by the owner”.
The franchise owner may have a contract with McD or Taylor in which they agreed not to make certain repairs, but I’m pretty sure they do not, because otherwise Taylor wouldn’t need to lean on the DMCA to argue that certain repair tools are illegal.
Q: Why don't you call your 'shakes,' 'milkshakes'?
A: Great question. Our shakes contain milk from our reduced-fat soft serve, which makes them thick and creamy. Dairy regulations actually vary from state to state on what can officially be called a 'milkshake.' We like to keep it simple and refer to them strictly as 'shakes.'
(Note they say "reduced-fat soft serve" and not "ice cream")
In order to call it simply “ice cream”, it would need to have at least 10% fat content. They could choose to call it “reduced fat ice cream”, but I’m guessing they’ve decided that that doesn’t sound as appetizing to consumers as “soft serve” since to most people, “soft serve” is just a type of ice cream. Marketing finds a way. said in the voice of Ian Malcolm
They can't call it ice-cream because legally it isn't in at least some states. They likely aren't using enough cream, or they're adulterating it with other ingredients that some states don't permit. What exactly are you refuting?
Both these statements can be true. Their drivers can be excellent but try to do anything with your Linux machine after the Nvidia drivers are installed and you run into trouble.
Ubuntu release upgrades used to be impossible w/ Nvidia drivers. You'd get into a situation where you'd boot into a text-only console, but because nvidia didn't do kms you'd get 40x25 with the first few characters off the screen.
