Septagon / Re: Do you think LC should be demoted

I think LC is probably the reason the forum isn't crash and burning right now.

It does work though.
If someone wants to really badly get their images they probably also can simply stop the page from loading completely and just grab the pictures or simply see the page media, or just block the JS code. So, no, it doesn't work unless it's someone who doesn't know how to use a browser and won't bother looking things up. (That is, many, many people)

to prevent most people from copying their images.

It's really, really, really... Stupid to do that.

I'll keep my eye out for you, and if I see them I'll snag the codes.
To be honest, if you are not buying them then just don't copy the codes. That's really, really mean to do.

How things change, right? I remember as if it was like yesterday when I was browsing Bungie.net where the joke "Lol ps3 has no games" was the most prominent one being made. And now, in 2015, suddenly the PS3 is better?

People do change their mind so easily...

Gaming / If you happen to drink Red Bull and live in the US or Canada...
« on: November 06, 2015, 05:22:24 AM »
Could you please look out for the Destiny version of the drink next time you buy it? I'd appreciate if you sent me the code for the bonus content. Since it's not available in Greece (and capital controls prevent me from buying a lot of things, including drinks from the UK) and I don't happen to enjoy energy drinks it makes it hard for me to get it.

Some info here http://quest.redbull.com/us/en/

I really liked the ending of The Phantom Pain. All is going mental in the second part, which is just what I hoped it would build up to.

It's literally the democracy country.

Ancient Athens might have been practicing the rough beginnings of what they called democracy. However, you forget that Sparta was a militarised society, mainly trained and refined to keep their huge number of slaves and servants in check. On top of that outside of Athens most others had their own kings or lords.

Attendance requirements are unnecessary if a student can demonstrate knowledge of the material regardless. I discussed that with a professor before regarding my own attendance issues. Perhaps you could do the same?

It's not something on the professor's jurisdiction. It's a college-wide policy.

It's really SMF that has a good number of odd things like that. There's a reason why groups are taking their time to be finished. Just like how "fixing the navbar" seems like a small task, but it suddenly erupts into a partial rewrite of a good chunk of code and style that has to work once it's on the live version. (Besides that it should also appeal more to the current one and serve a proper role in the mobile experience)

Want to experience true horror? Just right click -> inspect the code on the notification circle. You'll see how big of a hack it is.

« on: November 04, 2015, 07:51:37 AM »
Perfomance wise Windows 10 is better. Just read up on the features offered in Windows 10, and maybe on some of its controversies and you probably will have a picture of the cons and pros of upgrading. I mean, I could tell you how it violates your privacy and that Microsoft is nuts, but I've got tired of saying these things again and again, nobody ever listens.

I think Golden Dawn's existence grew not because of people's struggles with the current economical and societal situation, but on the machiavellian interests of some parties in the Greek parliament that coincidentally could have been involved in creating the dramatic situation of the current economical crisis.

In late 2011 when the main "hit" of political struggle had struck Greece (for months some streets of Athens, and to an extent some in Thessaloniki were housing some of the biggest marches of this government) Golden Dawn was one of the inhibitors of violence and extremist ideas, along with some anarchistic parties and to an extent the communists.

Coincidentally at the time not much was said about Golden Dawn, until in 2012 it got too big. They had weapons, they had numbers and were steadily growing. That's when the so-called democratic leaders of Greece chose to move against Golden Dawn, and they used a single murder to turn the tables around.

Until that point Golden Dawn wasn't disturbed. The police force on the higher levels closed an eye to their activities, and somewhat to the violence, people were speculating a lot that the majority of the police was filled with Golden Dawn supporters because of that. (And due to the fact that at the time, police salaries were steadily decreasing, Golden Dawn being one of the parties that due to its authoritarian nature supported the military and police increase of salary and benefits)

So, what took place in late 2011 during this interesting time was that the whole high level military staff was sent off for retirement and replaced quickly throughout a single week. This incident was both underreported, and purposely hidden by the media. The news only circulated on some independent sites on the net, and only brief mentions of it on some news.

There's little proof to correlate the incident that Golden Dawn benefitted because of Samaras' government, but the times, growth, and the response of the political powers in Greece since 2012 to the controversial party all match with the growth, and fall of the Samaras government that just further dug up a grave for the country.

My theory is that well, Golden Dawn was just a pawn all along. A bunch of wild dogs to bark and maybe bruise some people here and there to make drama. Until the situation with the EU got too stressful and the Greek government couldn't exactly just make demands; by that point the EU's and ECB's "suggestions" were exactly like orders. Since that got out of hand, some people in Athens whose lives were -struck- by the crisis found an answer in the right-wing nature of Golden Dawn and supported it, and it helped in its increase in popularity, its pool of human talent, its political presence and all sorts of things that can help to a prelude of a military or fascist coup d'etat.

Similarly, people who were angry with the EU policies and treatment of the country, but not enough invested in being far right, turned their gaze to Syriza. However, in the EU, and inside the country nobody wants a political power that has the guts or at least, their hands stained with all sorts of shady things that took place in this small country. (If anything, Tsipras' party is the cleanest one in the country right now-- just to give you an idea on how deep the rabbit hole goes)

I wouldn't be surprised if in 50 or 60 years someone involved in these incidents comes off clean with some kind of book or document that explains some of the shit that went down during late 2011 and 2012.

I fell asleep late again. Lately I can't fall asleep before four or perhaps five AM, I just lie on the bed and nothing really happens like it usually does. This time, again, I woke up late because of that (on top of my alarm choosing not to ring today, since I forgot to turn it on last night) and missed a class, again, so I am closing into the tread of failing the class due to absences despite getting an A in the midterm. (Turns out, if you don't show up at all then being a good student doesn't matter. A stupid policy that if you have half a brain it just forces you to be here than actually being productive)

Gaming / Re: A new review coming in from Angry Joe, for Halo 5.
« on: November 04, 2015, 05:10:28 AM »
I don't really like the direction that 343 Industries is taking Halo. Bungie wasn't great in story making, ever, but everything 343 Industries has done, or well, Microsoft was just inflate a bubble more and more over the past few years. Honestly, they should stop hyping up Halo, and just deliver on a couple basic features that Bungie had figured out since 2001 for the game.

Really, the reaction to Halo 5 feels that it's just more people living the hype than actually enjoying the game for what it is. In a couple months down the road, when the novelty will wear off then people might start being even more realistic with what the game is and what it isn't.

I just hope that Microsoft will just get its act together with 343 Industries and they actually change the way they approach Halo, it's not the best one for the title. It could be the best one for a new franchise, but for Halo it's on another plane altogether.

Fix is a generous term to what is mostly a reconstruction of the navbar.

Programming is the shit. My new job basically forced me to learn JQuery, and it's sooooo much easier and more intuitive and Javascript is. Once you learn one language, the others will come to you a lot faster, IMO.
