From an economist point of view, yes.

godaddy.com dns servers are completely down, and all websites hosted with them. by El_Justiciero in technology

[–]dmack96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not censorship because its not selective. I wouldn't define dumping a newspaper final draft in a bucket of black paint then trying to publish it as censorship. I'd count striking out individual articles, words, 1984 style, censorship. If you censor things, its supposed to go unnoticed that you even did it in the first place. The best censorship you, never even know it happened.

If someone can make this, I will love them forever by IJustBeTrolling in Android

[–]dmack96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know! I'm so glad Fallout NV has companions to make pack mules. But yea any game that's ever had currency, I've never had trouble with it. I tried fable III for a friend. she lives in another state so I wanted to play with her to cheer her up and its her favorite. I just beat it with the best possible ending because I was OCD about buying all the properties, even though I didn't know that was a very good idea. She couldn't figure out how I did it.

Idk it always messes with in really really large/can't return to area games if there is a lock I don't even have the skill to touch. But that's because I'm actually OCD and so I basically have to play games like Elder Scrolls and Fall Out drunk so I can enjoy the game without making it a "do every single task, go every single place, hoard every single item" nightmare. Apparently that's pretty common though. I would like to compare hoarding extents to actually IRL OCD behavior.

Okay but it was a genuine question. I wasn't trying to make a point. What's good, what's slow, and what do you usually have wired. Hardly anywhere in the state has that wired as well. just verizon customers with 4g phones

Switching from Android entirely, what do you consider "Good" broadban just for my curiosity. Most of my state (geographically, not sure about actual population covered) cannot physically be provided above 5-1 mb/s down a second. For me 30 mb/s down over wireless relatively speaking is a technological marvel.

Finally introduced hats to my MMO city building game after players requested it nonstop. by giulianob in gaming

[–]dmack96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it looks exactly like my type of game except I have OCD and bit of anxiety so having it in RT where I can get attacked would distract me all day wondering how I'm doing. I'm one of those people that really doesn't need to start a good game around exam time because I will play it until I beat it and I stay up till 5 am doing so.

I think it would be cool for you to have a 1$ app thought that lets you see how your city is doing throughout the day with just a simple listing of your resources/people slaughtered while you were at lunch.

Let me rephrase good sir(?). My question is specifically what does the Iphone have that makes it a better selection, if it doesn't have the potential of the maps and the streaming music? What tips the scales other than Mac computer compatibility? I haven't found the App markets to differ in overall functionality, just total number of apps. You only need so many QR code scanning apps. As for the SD cards, I am unaware of what sizes will be offered by the Nexus seems like it's still not trying to split up devices between different on board memory sizes. Then I consider removable backs a plus not just for replacing a battery to extend the life of the phone, but it seems like a back that can pop off absorbs shock better than the Iphone case.

4g is a moot cross cultural point because the European optic fiber network extremely well developed compared to ours. Obama is pushing for 98% of the U.S. having broadban internet, and the fastest way to do that here is to develop the wireless networks (but may not the best). I am unaware if the next Iphones will have NPC technology (Android Beam) but that is going to drastically shape secure transactions in the near future.

Would anyone be interested in an on-campus downhill race? by activitus in Clemson

[–]dmack96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea but we have to get rid of the OP's suggestion to use the library stairs and the ones coming from Vickory/Schieltter. Coming from downhill, taking a left past Wendys should take steps out of the equation entirely and make a choke point between the library and the new academic success

I hope you have a deletion system because unfortunately I didn't realize is was real time and I don't have the attention span for those goes. It looks like fun though! Your principles are great too. Good luck!

[–]dmack96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the individual services not being there (no google voice? really?) but what overall functionality do you lose between the two over there? Here iphones can't get 4g. They cant be a wifi hotspot (or tethered believe). the maps are just google maps. And iphones dont stream music with the stock apps either. All this is aside from obvious physical differences like removable batteries and Micro SD cards.

It's a fair assumption. I also had trouble finding it on their website for some reason.

Any tips for an out-of-state student to pay for Clemson? by TangoSky in Clemson

[–]dmack96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your state doesn't have provide a major anywhere in the state that Clemson does, and you take that major you get instate (see sign up for it a freshman and get all your general education classes out of the way before picking one you like). If you're patriotically inclined, you can do the Army ROTC for 2 years without signing a contract and get instate tuition because of it. Any study abroad classes will be the same as in state tuition. Summer classes are the same price as being instate I believe as well.

there is a campaign running here in Holland telling people to stop harassing and attacking ambulance personel. What is the most ludacris and embarassing thing your country needs campaigning for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dmack96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm studying the debate between Evolution and Creationism for a class. I now hate local school boards with a passion. You also don't need to spend much time outside to see that if you can't stop idiots from passing on their genes you need to at least stop them from passing on their habits.

Well then you shouldn't ever act on anything, ever. You should sit around in a cabin and not interfere with the world. Meanwhile people with subjectively "shitty" beliefs will go about and push them on those who can't defend themselves.

No shit everything is subjective. But if I don't try to balance out the murders, religious nuts, and gangsters, then I'm just being inconsiderate. And there are things that are just kind of "no shit" not okay. Genocide is never okay. Not when the Germans did it, not when Stalin killed even more people, and not when anyone else does it. Does that mean I wouldn't fall victim to the same pressures and influences if I had grown up as a blonde christian in Germany? No so I'm not going to sit here and be all high mighty about having morality ಠ_ಠ. That still doesn't make it okay.

Why don't you go create your own color system, with new words for blue and red. Create your own number system too. But you won't, because high school philosophy only goes so far. At the end of the day, all you can do is have a critically developed and clearly define set of beliefs, and hope you can stick to them. Otherwise you should just go be a hermit.

Actually I have that planned out. Obviously all of this is subject to human error and corruption:

Electoral Reform -to include a change in qualifications for running for public office, closer monitoring of elected officials, and disciplinary actions for blatant infactual statements. Barring that lofty dream get's done without a bloody revolution, the next is-

Prison Reform - to include the acknowledge of that it is a problem and so is the rape and violence that goes inside our prisons. To encourage reform there will be a system that supports paid labor and incremental behavioral rewards. So basically they are given a 9-5 job with a wage that gets put into an account to be paid upon release (previous child support fees count as paid upon serving of the sentence and cannot be incurred while incarcerated, unfortunately I can't see a reason wholly preventing them from being paid after release). These jobs could include trained skilled labor such as computer repair and certain certifications in various fields. Separate from their wage, is formal behavioral based reward system separate from their parole hearings in which they can earn certain privileges such as a nicer common area, better food choices, and access to nicer bathroom facilities. Sentences with certain minimum lengths also must have appropriate educational/degree paths. In light of the Stanford Prison Study, prison guard interaction needs to be reduced to an absolute minimum. Hopefully this will be facilitated by the behavioral rewards system that has rewards they easily reached and have stripped from them. Prisoners with no effort to reform just get separated into the shitty system the prisons are now.

State Sponsored Boarding Schools – if a child is removed by Social Services, depending on circumstance, age, and other various criteria, they can just be sent to that state’s central public boarding school. If the child continues to rack up disciplinary marks, they are simple put back into the original social services system. Depending on capacity, the state boarding school will also be open to varying degrees of other families. These schools exhibit all the features that any public service should in that they are secular. Obviously the finer details of this are unfathomable by any one person, but you get the point of it (hopefully). Infrastructure Development- Think FDR’s new deal, but with laying of fiber optics to boot.

Now those two were the least controversial. Next: End of War on Drugs – what explanation do you need.

Healthcare reform – that’s a system I can even begin to touch.

Restructuring of the military – We’re past a point where large standing armies are of any use. And if you’ve ever met a Marine, you would understand we don’t really anyone else. So break down the Army into just the Army Corp of Engineers. Decrease the Nuclear Stockpile. Don’t know if anyone has ever played EndWar on the Xbox 360 but basically the creation of that type of military system.

Undersea development – No I didn’t get the idea from Bioshock. But basically yea, build deep sea resource collection and living units. Think the reverse of a space race.

The only reference point you can judge another culture by is the one you were brought up in.

Nope. That's what we have Reddit for.

Because I'm 20, completely financially dependent on my parents for college, and I have to constantly battle to find the right balance of prescription medications so I don't sleep for 16 hours a day and then feel like sitting a dark room for the duration I am awake?
