Big political scandal brewing in NZ right now. Seems like there has been collusion between PM's office and key right wing bloggers over various stories going back to the last election.
All came out in investigative journalist's book yesterday and it is now one of the fastest selling books since Harry Potter

Running a virus scan on this PC and seeing it find loads of them has led to an interesting dynamic.
My mother has taking to lying like a small child that has been caught in the immediate aftermath of doing something wrong.
"How did all these virus's get on your PC?"
"Maybe someone else used it..."
"You're the only person living here!"
"It wasn't me!"
"Did you run a virus scan like you're supposed to?"
"........yes"
Any second now I'm expecting her to claim some older kids made her do it.

You'd rather she give you a detailed list of all the freaky porn she's been watching?
So, Sony's upcoming update feature is going to let me borrow and play my friends' games without actually owning them? Holy crap, I'm on board. But how does it work? And what game limitations (if any) are there?
"How it works is, for example, say, a friend has a game that I don't. I ask them to let me play it, and if they send me an invitation, I can access their PS4 and play while watching the video that is streamed." Said Sony Worldwide Studio big man, Shuhei Yoshida, explaining the new SharePlay feature in an interview with Weekly Famitsu. "You could call it a mini PlayStation Now."
That sounds pretty damn awesome. While you may expect some sort of limit in what specific games will be compatible, Yoshida assured that aside from games that use the PlayStation Camera, like PLAYROOM, any game that can be played with the Dualshock 4 will be playable via SharePlay. "There is no need for developers to do anything for their games to be compatible with SharePlay." Yoshida said.
Another feature is that players can save their game data to their own account, rather than their host's. "You can save your save data to your own account, so if you like a game you played via SharePlay, you can buy it for yourself and continue where you left off." Yoshida explained. "Or, if you get stuck in a game, or there's an enemy or stage you find difficult, you could hand over the reins to a friend for those areas."
Note that because SharePlay is basically the streaming of gameplay between 2 PS4s, it stands to reason that whoever is lending their game will basically be lending both their game AND their PS4. If your friend wants to borrow a game for an hour or so, it means you won't be able to use your PS4 during that time – unless it's to assist, disrupt, or just plain troll your friend.
...
I'm still not sure why MS abandoning their plans with disc based media required them to abandon game sharing for digital games.

Because Don Mattrick and his team were assholes and decided that if you dont play by their rules you cant play at all.
There is a reason why he quit so suddenly, he was going ot burn that division to the ground if he stayed.

I want to make a map detailing the shifting alliances of the chat/D&D regulars over the various issues that come up.
Could then be expanded to also model this over time and analyse things in general categories and give people a grouping that describes their primary issues and alignments.
I was in fact serious that I wanted to give this a go, so I made a google form - Traitor sample questions - I am giving it the working name traitor, because it was all born of my musing on the fact that the course of the different issues that arise the posters who are in agreement shifts (a banal observation, but an interesting pattern to track, I think) and thus they turn on those hitherto their allies.
It's just a bunch of questions that I can use to populate the database with as I tryout different schemas, models, algorithms etc... and does not, in any way, represent what I think this would ultimately look like.
IF you want to do so, then please PM me a secret word to validate yourself and answer the questions. If you don't have an opinion, think it's too ambiguous or don't want to answer a question then none of them are required except your username (which you can make up too, but given these are the sorts of things we publicly state...). In fact, it's going to be helpful if some do elect not to answer some things or choose any labels. I'll not directly release the answers for the time being, unless there's an interest in me doing so.

How did I forget tipping and circumcision?
Ultimately... Everything.
These sample questions are just a bunch that I made up that should provide different cases to model when it comes to figuring how to define an "issue"

That did not help my insomnia.
Cautiously optimistic. Silent Hill was my favorite video game series before it went to shit.
Thank all that is good in this world that this job is almost over.

Daryl (Norman Reedus) too. I'm pretty excited.
I just hope you don't need to run around looking for weapons because they break in 2 hits, that sucked on the last one.
It could have been scary without the nervous panic of "oh god now I gotta find a weapon" all the time.
