gambiter··on Windows 10 for Raspberry Pi 2
Thanks for the clarification!

You've rendered much of the debate here totally moot with just a couple sentences. *High five. :)

gambiter··on Signing in to websites with SSH
Just the fact that you think SSH equates to Putty is laughable, and shows your ignorance. .NET and Java developers, at least the ones who seem to think anything non-Windows is bad, don't understand SSH. When you don't understand it, you don't see the value of using it, which means it doesn't get installed on your servers, and you are left thinking it's only an 'irritating task' kind of thing.

I use SSH on a daily basis. Right now, from work, I have five SSH connections open, one is tunneling, one is tunneling and providing an interactive shell on one of my personal machines, one is connected to the live environment for server monitoring, and two are connected to the development environment. I'm running everything from applications, to the command line to my IDE (vim) all in SSH sessions.

Just because you personally don't understand a key bit of internet technology doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else. There are those of us who see a valuable tool and use it properly.

$25/month for 100 texts? Talk about easy money... I need to start a company.
gambiter··on A Designer's War on Misleading Parking Signs
Or an electronic sign that simply shows red/green as a GO/NOGO indicator. We already have them for crosswalks, school zones, etc., why not extend it to parking zones?

They might be slightly more expensive, but you could just install them on the curbs where there is more than one rule.

You and me both brother. *highfive

Forced interaction with a social network is an easy way to alienate anyone over 15.

Not sure if you're trolling, but I have a spare minute...

- If I post a picture of a cute kitten, does it mean I look at a cat as an object? That I will only under-appreciate all animals because I liked a photo of one? - If I post a picture of my mother or father, am I objectifying them? - What if I take a picture of a street performer who's doing some awesome thing and post it... am I reducing them to simply an object of attraction?

I just said it didn't affect me one way or another... that it is just an image. If someone thinks this image means I view a woman as an object, they are projecting THEIR OWN ISSUES onto me. That is the ONLY way that it could be offensive, in that they are choosing to be offended by something that 99% of the population think nothing about.

People are too sensitive. I'm a hetero male, and I don't find the image 'fun' at all... it's just an image. It doesn't send a message to anyone. If anything, I don't really care for it for image algorithm tests because the palette is fairly flat.

No matter how you feel about the image itself, though, there is value in continuing to use it... people are familiar with it, to the point of it becoming almost cliché. This takes the focus off of the image and subject and puts it squarely on the image algorithm.
