That URL doesn't seem to lead to a site where one can download mc2xml. Some further cursory searches just led to a lot of dead ends.-skwire (October 08, 2015, 02:10 PM)
I would stress that there was no intention on my part to "Go Basement" on this and tut-tut or foam at the mouth about police brutality, or similar - the fact that it was a cop who was the actor was kinda coincidental, and police brutality is a sorry fact of life for a minority of police officers and a problem for their commanders to address, and something to which we have by now probably become desensitised anyway - so I generally would be disinclined to make passing comment about specific cases of police brutality in this forum (I don't find it funny in and of itself anyway) or anywhere else - e.g., The Basement.
No, what I was posting about is what seems to be a relatively new/emerging and growing phenomenon that is occurring in our society and which is largely enabled by the advent of telecomms and/or computerised "social networks" (e.g., including live video streaming, Twitter, Facebook) combined with the possibilities of the smartphone or video camera and sometimes especially the selfie features therein, resulting in something new that seems to be at one and the same time so seriously vain, moronic and self-destructive in some way that it it beggars belief and it might actually be quite funny and deserving of mockery that a person would do that to themselves in the first place without apparently considering the potential consequences for themselves or how their behaviour might appear to others watching in critical judgement. To do that would seem to require a pathological conceit coupled with a complete absence of self-awareness.-IainB (October 08, 2015, 12:37 AM)
^^ No, I don't think so. Why do you ask?Doesn't really seem like silly humor- more like basement cop thread.

Ahaha! I caught you out doing that ventriloquist thang there, @Renegade! You think you're so smart.-IainB (October 07, 2015, 03:31 AM)

There are positive market forces that provide incentives for auto manufacturers to create cleaner engines. There are also unrealistic regulations that go past the point of diminishing returns, which creates a burden for the manufacturers and drives up prices for consumers. Somewhere in that broad spectrum there are balances for different needs.-Renegade (September 29, 2015, 11:00 AM)
For VW, I'm not particularly disturbed by anything they did. But, I don't buy that they have any kind of ethical obligation to obey arbitrary/dubious laws. (I have zero faith in any kind of environmental legislation/regulation as it is too often used abusively.)
What nobody will ask is whether or not the regulations that VW violated are ethical.
The question of ethics should focus on whether the actual emissions are ethical/unethical, and not on any law.-Renegade (September 28, 2015, 11:21 PM)
I highly recommend Lexx.Stanley Tweedle Lexx Music Videothis was unknown territory to me; Who and what's the video's music? It's good!-MilesAhead (September 27, 2015, 09:54 AM)-Curt (September 28, 2015, 11:09 AM)-MilesAhead (September 28, 2015, 02:02 PM)
What's the video's music? Obviously not from the movies.

I never saw that promo before. I don't know who put it together.-MilesAhead (September 28, 2015, 04:36 PM)
I highly recommend Lexx. The "first season" is really 4 made for TV movies. I watched the first one, I Worship His Shadow, again yesterday.-MilesAhead (September 28, 2015, 02:02 PM)

Lenovo insists that they have only ever loaded spyware on consumer products, not their business oriented Think line (ThinkPad, ThinkCentre, etc.).
That also turns out to be a lie.-xtabber (September 25, 2015, 08:58 AM)
Had this been any other PC vendor, this might be a triviality. Certainly Microsoft is doing far more tracking in Windows 10.
But trust is the price Lenovo pays for their previous behavior. Those of that recall the company's initial reaction to Superfish, dismissing it out of hand, have a hard time trusting them again.
I'm going to be lazy, and see if a reboot fixes it ;-)-tomos (September 23, 2015, 01:20 PM)
That's always the first option.-MilesAhead (September 23, 2015, 05:21 PM)
Though what I meant by "fast" is that I will be installing 50+ software over a 48+ hr period. Some of them will prompt me for a reboot, by I was wondering if there is anything else to consider when intensively installing a lot of software, one after the other, all day long, for several days.-dr_andus (September 24, 2015, 06:20 AM)
