Anyone know if all the um mods will work with this new version?

Hey just reading thru my comment, wanted to say i should not have insinuated that you were promoting censorship. I will say that people are too eager to call the slightest offensive comment or act as racist and is the basis to why i have my stance that racist or sexist jokes may be acceptable...

For the most part, (though I haven't been in the fray to deeply) I respect the discourse in the HardForum since it does not devolve into name calling readily.

Not sure if your being hyperbolic, but the yellow portion of your comment is indeed racist by definition and thus proves your following sentence.

This is a very short sighted statement, the whole purpose of jokes is to point out things that are real and human about all of us. Sure generalizations are inherently false when applied to an individual, but they do have grains of truth embedded in them and is usually the basis for even racist...

I don't think its that this generation are all pussies, I think its PC Culture and identity politics that are ruining public interactions and people are becoming afraid to say even the most mundane things like men and women are different. Heck I forget who, but someone was advocating for the use...

Like whats happening in South Africa with the farmlands?

Not surprising it was disabled, the question would be why was Volvo's system able to detect the imminent collision when Uber's was not.

Hate Speech is not Free Speech !!!! JK, this is bullshit, and everyone with more than 2 brain cells they can rub together knows it. Smack talk has been a part of all competitive outlets since the dawn of time. From Microsoft's Code of Conduct iv. Don’t publicly display or use the Services to...

Red Falcon I think anyone would agree that the survival of their loved ones and themselves is of the utmost importance and warrants do anything possible to meet that goal. I myself have been lucky enough to only need one job. But I think its shortsighted to say that people, by virtue of the...

Maybe (2) Titan V's in SLI would do the trick. Or (3) 1080 Ti's

I'm less concerned in the why Youtube thought it was ok to ban certain videos based on their political position, and more concerned they thought banning videos they do not like was an acceptable action to be taken at all. I don't know enough about Reddit or the gun sales subreddit to comment...

Nothing yet, you are right, but I can't help but feel (i know i know I am making a feelings based argument, whatever) that those who are actively being silenced and told their ideas are at best problematic and at worst evil are going to retaliate. And retaliate in productive manner (hopefully).

NemesisX I can see where you coming from, honestly, but I think the answer should and will be new competitors that will champion the 1st amendment.

Haven't read the article, but what kyle posted said was (paraphrased) videos that linked to fire arm sales or were about gun assembly. Hopefully Demolition Ranch is not affected by this.

While it would be atrocious for youtube to allow those kinds of videos on the platform of a minor, isn't there something in the law allowing for naturalists to take photos/videos of their family so long as they are not sexually explicit or suggestive? Wouldn't that fall under the same category...

The more censorious are current social media providers become of idea they do not like the more likely a competitor is going to jump into the fray. And I for one believe an alternative platform is not only viable at this point, but imminent. Anyways, thanks cageymaru for the news and Kyle for...

Its seems like we have gotten into a positive feedback loop with the different media outlets. If you like topic XYZ you are going to end up looking for content on XYZ and ignore (for the most Part) any dissenting content (Confirmation Bias). Then of course at that point us consumers for the most...

If only i could find a decently priced video card to go with it...

This is not a Free Speech issue, this is a libel issue. You can't intentionally lie about a person or company with the intent to damage their reputation.

My personal belief is that if data is being mined, the mining of that data should be upfront (not in a linked 30 page EULA) and disclosed. Heck maybe the business model could include a no data mining option for an additional charge Like Movie Pass Lite and Movie Pass.

I dont think wiping out racism 100% will ever be possible, partly because it is human nature to be defensive against the unknown/unfamiliar, and partly because some people's perspective cannot be changed. But I would wager that in the US and countries like the UK, Canada, and Australia, racism...

HockeyJon - When a person adheres to an ideology without skepticism any level of cognitive dissonance and/or hypocrisy is possible in the name of furthering said ideology.

I don't mean to oversimplify what your saying, but basically you can't fix racism with more racism, just of different kind. The facts as you presented here seem to suggest that it is not diversity in and of itself is what causes prosperity, but that culture and ideas matter.

I wonder if it will come with a pew pew sound effect.

Gotta love Hard Forums; where researched and thoughtful comments are accompanied with death by asphyxiation through moose ingestion. Also @Icpiper - The laws you described make sense - just the reasonable person aspect of the law seems (from laymen perspective) to leave potentially large room...

@Icpiper That is very good point that I had not considered till now, and I believe the spectacle around mass shootings is what causing / motivating this shift.

To everyone saying he got what he deserved for posting a threat i submit the question: Why has no action been taken against Madonna for saying she though an awful lot about blowing up the White House? How do both these situations compare?

I wonder if that was a Freudian slip, or if I should watch the video to see if there is anything nefarious there, Nah titles are good enough.

All I know is this: If Verizon (and other telecoms) are crying so much about being classified Title II, it must be in some way better for the consumer. I have not done enough research on the topic to say this move by the FCC is 100% correct, but I will say it is a step in the right...

So then could you use your own DNA as an Encryption key? Or would that be too volatile?

If Sonic is ever really retired, it will be because of Sega. What made Sonic fun was the fast paced side scrolling aspect. This may just be me, but wouldn't it be better if Sonic didn't need to work in a 3D world, but maybe a 2.5D world would be better. Keep the controls tight, the game play...

The one game that I lament in admitting I had an addiction to is Maplestory. If any of you don't know it, don't bother looking it up, if you do, then you know why I lament getting hooked.

I would love to learn more on the why, maybe i'll finally turn my frustration to action. All i currently know is that each hospital/doctor has its own book of scales on the different services it provides. Whether the service provided matches up with the hospitals costing need not apply.

Uniracers was awesome Day of the Tentacle NBA JAM and Street for PS2 The Simpsons & Ninja Turtles arcade side scrolling beat em ups FFVII Tony Hawks Pro Skater Gran Toursimo 3 Battlefield 1942 Medal of Honor FEAR I'm looking at all the great games being posted up here, and I'm thinking i...

I'd pre order that

@ Maverikv Though I am very cynical about the current state of healthcare, I whole heatedly agree with your last comment.

I think the one thing that really needs to be addressed more than anything is for healthcare to be affordable. Not in the way "Affordable" Care Act tries to do it. Just because everyone has healthcare does it mean that the care being provided is 1) good and 2) affordable. Actually the...

As far as the Video Card is concerned I think he made a fairly good decision. AutoCad and other 3D modeling software just do not favor team red. Adobe does have support for openCL, but last I checked it was only on the Mac version of their software. So if you want to utilize gpu compute on...
