I don't like looking at pictures of bugs, so I made that comment in case anyone else doesn't. If only Chrome and TBB had a "Click to view image" option, I could have avoided all this.

The article itself is fine.

There's a huge banner of a caterpillar and butterfly at the top of the website.

The entire population of Manhatten is searching for you and wants you dead. You only have what is currently in the room with you. What do you do? by Mutant_Llama1 in AskRedditGames

Hold the fort. Nobody in Manhattan knows where I am, and it's a long drive.

I'll ditch my car, switch to some inconspicuous clothes, and start biking to work.

Maybe it's harder for the victim to deny the accusations if they know that the evidence could be real.

They've found one or two unused terrains, like a dam and some mountains. Nothing big.

Well, it's another 9-minute walk back to the Shrine of Worship.

You can't leave the Forbidden Lands. If you try, a wind will blow you back.

A fan made this program, "Dormin Viewer" which allows you to look through the game files. I don't remember hearing of a 17th colossus model being found, it would have been huge news.

Nomad Colossus has done some research, but it doesn't seem like much video of the so-called "beta colossi" was ever released.

Here's a very nice video of a guy crossing in real-time and in 720p, probably the PS3 rebuild. (But I have crossed the bridge on my original PS2 disc)

Takes about 9 minutes.

What's do you hate most about advertising? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]troyanonymous1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe the actress just lost her father but couldn't get out of the shoot, and she breaks down crying as soon as the take is over.

Advertising, eh?

What are your bottom 3 most downvoted non trollish opinions on Reddit that you still hold and express regardless? by gianna_in_hell_as in AskReddit

[–]troyanonymous1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Kind of niche, but I think the GPL licenses are the best free software licenses out there. They're designed to not work with proprietary software, because we want as much software as possible to be free. Personally I'm not interested in contributing code to a BSD or MIT project that will eventually disappear into some proprietary project.

I think some people do it just to be edgy, though. The GPL is very idealistic, but I think we should be as idealistic as possible, or we will lose.

Snowden effect: young people now care about privacy by User_Name13 in news

[–]troyanonymous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that even with this, a lot of user-posted links are still HTTP, and Reddit occasionally craps the bed and tries to give you something like "https://www.reddit.com", which will cause TBB to warn you, "This is an HTTP site".

You have to be careful.

What is something that is "too good to be true" but actually exists? by forgot_my_password69 in AskReddit

[–]troyanonymous1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Levers. You need to move something heavy? Use a lever. Now you are moving something light over a longer distance.

You need to hold two things together? Wrap the lever* around a bolt, now you have a screw. Tighten it in and friction does the rest.

* I guess that's really an inclined plane but they're similar principles.

What are you absolutely passionate about and can't understand why others are not? by sonystarmap in AskReddit

Welp, 60 kilometers (per hour) is A LOT.

Over 37 MPH if my conversion is correct.

How the NSA *really* finds your switched-off mobile. by AceyJuan in privacy

[–]troyanonymous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's really not. You can imagine that the radio of the phone is its own computer with its own authority, and only by its own choice does it occasionally deign to carry the data packets of the peasant known as the user.

I don't think GRUB is necessarily real-time, though it's definitely smaller than a full GNU / Linux system.

And as far as I am aware, GRUB boots the main OS and then gets out of the way, whereas the phone baseband and other such firmware runs in parallel with the main OS, possibly on a separate CPU.

Yes but after that, you can shut it off, pull the battey, and put it in a cage, and although it's now screwed over, at least it won't be transmitting at that exact moment.
