So I’m running Chrome on my older Macbook Pro, and things seem fine, then I get this in one of my tabs: “He’s Dead, Jim!”

Assuming the worst, I do a mild panic. “Those #$@%%hole malware ba#$#@$#@s got me” goes through my mind.

Shut the computer down, go to a backup to do a search for what caused this, and I come across this at Google Chrome Help:

“He’s Dead, Jim!”
Issue

You may see the “He’s Dead, Jim!” message if the operating system has terminated the tab’s process due to a lack of memory. Computers rely on memory to run programs. Low amounts of memory can cause programs to run slowly or stop running altogether.

Alternatively, if you terminated the process using Google Chrome’s Task Manager, the system’s task manager, or with a command line tool, this message will appear as well.

Real funny guys.

Some good news out of the EU elections; looks like Pammy’s buddy Geert Wilders took a drubbing in The Netherlands, coming in fourth place.

Geert Wilders came fourth in European elections in the Netherlands on Thursday night, confounding predictions that he would lead a populist and far-Right backlash against the European Union across the continent.

Dutch exit polls put the far-Right and anti-Islam leader on 12.2 per cent of the vote, putting him behind all the pro-EU mainstream political parties.

‘Definitive’ exit polls put him behind the ruling centrist VVD on 12.3 per cent and almost three per cent behind the pro-EU D66 liberals and Christian Democrats, each on over 15 per cent.

Previous opinion polls had put Mr Wilders in the lead but there was widespread controversy over his alliance with the France’s Front National and the exit polls suggested that his share of the vote fell, compared with 2009, by 4.8 percentage points.

The result is a major blow to Mr Wilders who will lose a seat in the European Parliament with his MEPs now reduced to three out a total of 26 Dutch representatives.

You know, the gamer comment you made makes me wonder about one of the other big topics of the day. Open Carry.

In the other thread I had commented about how it seems that open carry and some of the other gun control issues seem to have blown up in the last twenty plus years. Many have said the NRA is part of that.

Regarding gaming, we all know that people have tried to connect gaming with some of the mass shootings that occur regularly now.

I had the thought, does gaming have any influence on some of the thinking about gun laws, gun control and the open carry demonstrations? Do these laws also coincide with gaming being popular?

In other words, if you play games with a lot of gun play in them, does it make you more open to want to carry guns out in public?

I don’t necessarily think it does, but then, I’ve never thought about it either. I thought it a good question for discussion. I’ve never really figured out in my own mind if gaming has any bearing on shootings. That is a tough one to ponder and I’ll leave that for behaviorists and psychologists, etc. But, I think gaming and wanting to have guns and carry them might be in a different thinking/behavior than playing games turning people into killers, etc.

Getting out of printers might not have been the best move either. They were very big in that market and a large part of their name was their LaserJet printers back in the late 80s early 90s. They get challenged a bit ans instead of competing, they threw in the towel.

I have played FPSs third person shooters, and arcade video games all my life.

Every time I have used an actual gun has either been as part of being a boyscout or that one time I went skeet shooting with my family, and I was no big fan of the later as it was too much about holding a gun I found heavy (yeah I am weak like that) and leading targets.

If you can not tell the difference between reality and fantasy then you have bigger problems than video games.

The former Secretary for Homeland Security has finally caught up with me.

Napolitano: Focus on border backup, not more walls

Political calls for more walls and policing at the U.S.-Mexico border are a “straw man” designed to defeat immigration reform, former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said Wednesday.

Napolitano said in an interview with The Associated Press that U.S. money would be better spent on easing border-crossing bottlenecks that affect trade rather than on adding more barriers and agents.

“When you go to some of our ports and see the backup — it’s gotten better but it’s not good enough. And it’s not keeping pace with the amount of commerce that’s growing between our countries,” she said, emphasizing that she is expressing a personal opinion now that she has left government.

“You cannot seal a border, that’s an unrealistic expectation,” she added. “And I think that unfortunately it has become a straw-man argument to prevent immigration reform from passing.”

[…]

Here’s me a year and a half ago:

When It Comes to Immigration Reform, ‘Border Security’ Is a Red Herring

Or maybe it’s a duck egg.

I almost forgot about poor old DEC. In it’s heyday, DEC was the place you wanted to work if you were in the business. I had friends who worked there who loved the place.

My old company, the “old” AT&T, did the same thing to NCR when they were desperately trying to get a piece of the computer hardware business. Of course, it failed horribly, and now even AT&T is no more.

More pearls of wisdom from this captain of industry:

Fiorina presented herself as a realist regarding the effects of globalization. She has been a strong proponent, along with other technology executives, of the expansion of the H-1B visa program.[36] In January 2004, at a meeting to “head off rising protectionist sentiment in Congress,” Fiorina said: “There is no job that is America’s God-given right anymore. We have to compete for jobs as a nation.”[37][38][39] While Fiorina argued that the only way to “protect U.S. high-tech jobs over the long haul was to become more competitive [in the United States],” her comments prompted “strong reactions” from some technology workers who argued that lower wages outside the United States encouraged the offshoring of American jobs.[40] Fiorina responded against protectionism in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal, writing that while “America is the most innovative country,” it would not remain so if the country were to “run away from the reality of the global economy.”[41]

i.e., the usual steaming load of crap from the global economy wankers.

I despised Meg as a potential governor. But despite the whining I see among investors and here, I’m impressed what she’s done for HP.

When she took over, conventional wisdom was that HP was doomed. Year on year profits were down a lot, personnel were being madly slashed just to keep from bleeding quite so badly - it was a mess.

When she took over she made several statements. First and foremost among these, she said it would take five years to make the company profitable again. She also noted that three would be consolidations along the way - that people were going to lose their jobs, not because they were bad, but because the time to decide which of the parallel processes was successful and if that wasn’t your track, well, bye.

Not yet at the five years the company is profitable. (The whining now is “not profitable enough.” No, seriously, it met earnings so the investors sold enough shares for a 2% drop. Think about it a minute.) And the number of people being cut over the year is being increased by 20%, to about 50,000 employees. Which is less than the 100,000 that were expected when the year began, and is a lot less that “HP is in receivership.”

btw (and this is in response to another comment), one of the smart things Meg did was keep the printers. The idiot before her had put those on the block, but that line didn’t leave the comany.

These days the CA GOP takes what it can get for candidates for statewide office. Self-funders are obviously preferable. Most likely the upcoming GOP candidates will make Fiorina and Whitman look like great political thinkers.

Big executive paydays are the main motivation for M&A activity, as far as I can tell. Evidence for efficiency and improved products or services seems to be conspicuously lacking in most cases.

That actually is on the to-do list, to look into that. There are security issues with allowing multiple logins to the same account, which is why it works like it does. But I need to do some research on the latest ways of handling multiple logins.

Thank you. I pretty much figured it had to do with security etc.

re: #59 Snarknado!

Speaking of elections, I just took another look at my CA sample ballot (I’ll be busy around the election, so I need to get everything nailed down now). How could I have failed to notice my opportunity to vote for Orly Taitz for Attorney General? Could it be my brain circuitry includes a “splody-head” safety valve?

Will I vote for her? I don’t think so….

I’d bet her business is suffering (dentist? real estate agent? and whatever else she dabbles in since her entire law practice appears to be suing and getting fined for filing frivolous birther lawsuits, and besides, who wants some crazy person working on their mouth?

So she probably needs income. Badly.

Deprivation? Perhaps their own sex toys disintegrated from over-use 20 years ago and they are too embarrassed to purchase replacements.

Her husband is a mutti-millionaire. Orly isn’t all that stupid.

But you’re right, I imagine her businesses are just tax write-offs for hubby.

I did read that she only got the RE license so she could get a commission as the buyers agent on her dental offices. As far as her dental business, if you check it out you’ll see she’s in some barter network, so you could probably get a cleaning for a couple of chickens.

Interesting point about a video game (Metro) being developed in Kiev during the revolution.

Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light remastered

Before we get to the full rundown of what to expect in Metro Redux, get this: The collection was done in-house by a single team of about 80 people, in Kiev. Because of the country’s ongoing revolution and potential civil war, they did the work under some pretty tough conditions. We learned that they would be out in the square protesting during the day, and then back in the office working on Redux at night. Because of the situation there, they’re also working with some pretty limited tools. They only have two PS4 development kits, one of which was smuggled into the country. Their three Xbox One kits came after some of the unrest there died down. Hell, the Destructoid offices have more dev kits than they do!

similar to a house listing on the market for 180 days with the statement that “act now!” perhaps they have “operators are standing by!” mixed in there too

“Chief” Kessler likes to play fantasy, as anyone with a working brain can tell. Now he’s playing fantasy again and showing you how his mind works. All you have to do is listen. He’s got issues and no closet big enough to hold them.

Kessler may be in more dire need of bottoming in a bondage session than anyone in history.

He’s got all the self loathing needed and drips with visuals and name calling. 99.99% of people I’ve known who acted like that were self loathing closeted gays who slammed those who they internally identified with.

re: #60 Stanley Sea

Hey Charles, wondering if on your tech improvement list is a way for us to stay logged in on different devices? I use the ipad, then the laptop. Have to do the ole sign out & in. ?? tks!

Probably not. If you use dynamic IP addressing your devices will be assigned a different IP address. Then you have to consider each device has a unique MAC address as well. Keeping track of who has what would be a nightmare.

Though I suspect Charles uses MAC address filtering to detect sock puppets.

my personal suggestion is that 10 years of nonstop kenny g, mitch miller, and lawrence welk ought to be sufficient deterrence for any violent act

Cruel and unusual; couldn’t possibly pass constitutional muster.
