Fucking installation fuckups. Couldn't install Ubuntu, and couldn't boot Windows. Oh well, that's fixed now.

Some weeks ago I was in Arizona at a yearly gathering of friends and one who lives in San Francisco informed me of the self driving Google cars that have been tested in California for the past few years. I started reading up on this and thought to myself that the idea is wonderful; it's going to save a lot of lives and reduce or completely eliminate a lot of problems. Recently I started wondering what the social ramifications of that might be.

What will happen when self-driving cars enable an intoxicated person to get home safely? Psychologically speaking, from an operant conditioning point of view, the behavior of getting shitfaced is being rewarded with a safe trip home as opposed to the dreary drunken drive back to home, which is a deterrent for the borderline people who are not sure whether to risk it or call a cab. I'm slightly concerned that this will simply enable more drunkards to go out and get shitfaced and cause all other sorts of problems.

Specific tasks are assigned to each of the two cores in AMD's new design (Bulldozer FX CPU), thus forming a fixed module. This is weaker but slightly more optimized than two complete cores.

I can't make sense of it.

Also, please tell me it didn't take 2 hours to expand that file.

I wonder why HD7870 (including the GHz Edition) could lose to its predecessor, the HD6870 in some benchmarks?

I'm pretty stoked that we're possibly going digital only on music and shit later this year. Especially since you can download corrupted files that don't play properly and then be totally reamed by the bastards that sold it to you in the first place because 'We can't let you download your purchases again because of our Draconian rules and generic badness."

No wonder people pirate this shit.

It seems that PCIe 3.0 played a negligible role in AMD Radeon HD7000's high performance. It was only due to increase in video memory and shader computing units. With no difference in performance between PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 3.0, I might consider upgrading mine to a HD7870 GHz edition by this X'mas.

Shit, I'm out of space. Time to go shopping for a new quad-bay enclosure that isn't a piece of shit and upgrade to a 12TB external. Then I can use the two spare 1TB drives I'll have to replace some of my smaller drives in my tower and the old smaller drives can go into my other older externals.

Man, my drive collection is a clusterfuck.

We're constantly looking out for ways to make your browsing safer. To that end, we recently changed the way you add extensions that are not in the Chrome Web Store to your browser. Previously, any website could prompt you to add an extension into your browser. In the latest version of Google Chrome, you must explicitly tell Chrome that you want to install these extensions by adding them through the Extensions page.

Might be able to help if you could provide additional information in the form of error messages or a screenshot.

Quick fixes that are known to work :
If this extends to all Flash content, downgrade or use another browser until it stops being useful.
If this doesn't, downgrade or use another browser until it stops being useful.

Yeah, I use Chrome as an alternative right now.

Here's how it looks before I click "play" including vids embedded on sites.

Man, they aren't very good at giving useful error messages.

If that shit keeps telling you to try again later, try disabling all extensions, reset about:config settings to default if you/an extension messed with them (first sort by status and make a screenshot to keep track of what was changed) and if you keep getting the problem, downgrade.

Chrome still is a decent alternative at the moment. Also, an easier and quicker fix to the VD issue.
