I hadn't heard that before. Where did you get that information?

Absolutely gorgeous and like everything else I’ve owned from them it will probably break if I so much as look at it crosseyed. Still this one is actually cheap enough that I might buy it anyway.

I would also really like to see that list of 40 papers.

I assumed he'd exit Tesla on a longer timeline, but his recent political shifts do make it seem like he plans to exit Tesla as quickly as possible.

It's utterly absurd that iOS on the iPhone still doesn't support Media Source Extensions.

Didn't know about this company and glad to learn about them! I was actually looking for something exactly like their PO16 recently and had some PCBs and panels fabbed to make my own (17 pots for the build I found on lines).

Nvidia has supported installing their latest cards into old Mac Pros for years now with their web driver. Nothing new. They still have no support for Apple EFI in these cards (meaning the cards have no video output during boot and install of OS updates, making them incredibly inconvenient to use in day to day work).

Pokevision stopped working because they banned the whole ec2 IP range.

What you have created is an abomination. It is a tool that can only be used to diminish and destroy.

You absolutely do get to control what goes in, and I really don't care if people use this tool only for themselves. I think you will not have seen the work in question. I think you can not have understood it the same way that someone who saw the entirety of the work can understand it, and I would consider you to be a bit silly for wasting your time.

What do you feel you gain by excising the objectionable portions of a work?

A tool to "filter" a work of art for yourself is also a tool to censor a work of art for someone else. In this case, and judging by the reactions from some parents here, most likely for your own children. So, despite the interesting framing of this as something that will create the "freedom to filter," it inevitably will be used to oppress.

Regardless, the end effect on the viewers (both willing and unwilling) is that they have not seen the work. They may in fact have a completely different understanding of the film or show than someone who actually has seen the work. A morally ambiguous character becomes wholly righteous. A villain becomes the hero. Violent acts cease to have a consequence of gore, perhaps of pain or death. Romance no longer leads to sex. Dialogue cut for swearing completely changes the perception of a character, the story, and the world.

In the end you have seen something worse than nothing at all--a cartoon caricature of what the creators intended. You have wasted your own time, perverted the aims of the artists behind the work, and done your children a disservice.

That is very much the case at some restaurants that consider food to be art. Art is different. To be able to appreciate and understand it, it's all or nothing.

I just did the same thing! I went with the 5,1 though, putting 5690s in there. I was going to buy a maxed Macbook Pro, but they didn't announce anything and I have work that needs to get done.

If you maxed out the RAM, have you thought about doing a RAM disk?
