>As state after state has legalized marijuana in one way or another, big names in corporate America have stayed away entirely. Marijuana, after all, is still illegal, according to the federal government.
>But Microsoft is breaking the corporate taboo on pot this week by announcing a partnership to begin offering software that tracks marijuana plants from “seed to sale,” as the pot industry puts it.
>The software — a new product in Microsoft’s cloud computing business — is meant to help states that have legalized the medical or recreational use of marijuana keep tabs on sales and commerce, ensuring that they remain in the daylight of legality.
>Microsoft’s baby step into the business came through an announcement on Thursday that it was teaming up with a Los Angeles start-up, Kind, that built the software the tech giant will begin marketing. Kind — one of many small companies trying to take the marijuana business mainstream — offers a range of products, including A.T.M.-style kiosks that facilitate marijuana sales, working through some of the state-chartered banks that are comfortable with such customers.
>Microsoft will not be getting anywhere near these kiosks or the actual plants. Rather, it will be working with Kind’s “government solutions” division, offering software only to state and local governments that are trying to build compliance systems.
>But for the young and eager legalized weed industry, Microsoft’s willingness to attach its name to any part of the business is a big step forward.

>Microsoft claims that this was another major step in the direction of complete control over the population of terrorist hippies.
>It is a well known fact that Mohammed Atta, one of the leaders of ISIS, was under the effect of cannabis whilst flying the plane into the twin tower on 9\11\2001.
>The 'Microsoft government', as some extremist russian terrorists with malicious and backstabbing tendencies call it, has since been a very active helper in the fight against cancer on /g/. It is a well known fact, that cannabis can lead to proper thinking, which then leads to the repel of Windows Microsoft operating systems. Of course, this would help to remove the cancer of /g/, which would be an islamic act of chaos and terror, which has to be prevented by all means.
>Intel has also told us exclusively, that they will sponsor the latest Monsanto weed growing plantages in Africa, which will eradicate the mostly islamic african population, because fuck niggers, we indian street shitters now.
>Only an gaped goatse ass is a good goyim ass, let us install the revolutionary blue exit pill Windows 10 experience directly into your anus, so that you can enjoy the real real true truth about the moonlanding via Netflix, which automatically comes preinstalled from now on. Because that's how we roll.

Anyone else think we need to start enforcing English on this board?
>>55151125
Any sort of moderation would be nice.
>>55151125
I thought English was supposed to be enforced on the entire site.
Just set up a Hackintosh
Is the mouse sensitivity supposed to be really low even at the highest setting? Shit's hurting my wrist.
it is what Steve would have wanted
>>55151065
The way Mac OS X handles mouse acceleration is bizarre. The last time I screwed around with my hackintosh, I think I had to install a program to fix it.
>>55151065
Works like normal on my hackintosh. This gives me about the same mouse speed as the default in Windows.
Not today microsoft

People who like to play video games or do video processing.

That looks beautiful.
This looks a lot like TempleOS? Is it a fork? Did based Terry release source code?
I know /g/ isn't my personal tech support, I just wanted your opinions on this hard drive I'm dealing with.
It's a 2.5 Toshiba 500GB HDD. I've tried formatting many, many times and it seems to work in Windows but not OSX. I need to format it HFS, but I'm getting these errors:
>Writebuffer: pwrite input/output error
>newfs_hfs: write (sector 0): invalid argument
>file system formatter failed
It just keeps throwing errors. Strangely it formatted fine on another macbook, but I can't confirm I would actually be able to install homOSeX.
Do you think it's a problem with the SATA cable or is the drive fucked?
>>55150668
I suggest suicide.

>>55150564
you just use water or some kind of cleaning solution?
i need help finding an rca cable with multiple outputs or a splitter box that can output to at least two receivers simultaneously from one source.
I made a cable that works by splicing half an rca cable into the middle of a whole one but i'm looking for something that looks a bit cleaner
>>55150452
i found these and i think they would work but id really rather have a powered box that could clean up the signal http://www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-7-RCA-Audio-Cable-Y-Adapter-Splitter-1-Female-to-2-Male-Plug-Cable-Blue-/311427659802?&autorefresh=true
>>55150736
"clean up the signal" in what way?
>>55150748
there'a slight ground hum coming over the line from the computer
its inaudible at lower levels but its pretty noticeable when the one receivers cranked up
Post your stories:
I've used Vim, Emacs, Joe, Nano, ne (nice editor) and mg (the editor formerly known as micrognuemacs) to various degrees and always found something that annoyed me.
Vim:
+ modal
+ many useful plugins
+ visual block mode
+ leader key "reserved" for end user is a nice touch
- VimL is awful. my .vimrc just consists of useful snippets stolen from various places on the net. I'm afraid to touch most of it and have almost no ability to debug anything I didn't write myself.
- terrible buffer management. I don't get the whole buffer/window/tab thing, I just want something kind of like the emacs model where I can perform splits and summon buffers by name.
- mark and kill ring is not as intuitive as emacs.
- POSIX regular expression instead of Perl-compatible ones
Emacs
+ Decent extension language (elisp). We already have lexical scope now we just need modules.
+ extensive in-language documentation.
+ tramp-mode and various niceties for working with remote files
+ mark and kill ring
+ generally easy to customize and hack packages at a fairly deep level.
+ some modes have realtime feedback mechanisms, though still not quite at IDE level.
- default keybindings suck.
- no level of indirection between modes and keybinding. You can't rebind C-c for instance because the various minor modes will add mode specific keybindings and trample your binding.
- startup time is terrible if you use something big like evil-mode (very short if you don't)
- managing rectangles could be easier.
- regexes suck. Seriously they're just bad. The rules about when metacharacters have their literal value are really counterintuitive (especially when you take character classess into account).
My experience with Joe, Nano, Ne, and Mg have been similar enough to each other to lump together. In some ways they're really nice because they have minimal clutter and everything you need to know is on the man page. Oftentimes there'll be a bit of functionality you are used to that isn't there.
>>55150439
I used vi for a long time, but now I use Kate.
Good default key bindings if you don't want vi mode, no unique features, but nothing I have used is missing.
Still use vi for server and when I need root.
- terrible buffer management. I don't get the whole buffer/window/tab thing, I just want something kind of like the emacs model where I can perform splits and summon buffers by name.
what? Vim has really similar buffer management with Emacs. :vsp <filename> vertically splits your buffer and opens a file in the new one.
In a small editor like joe, nano, ne, or mg some bit of functionality you're used to will be missing. Mg for instance, doesn't have rectangle mark mode and cannot generally store multiple markers on a page. Not being able to easily navigate to locations I had previously visited in a file like in vim (marks, <c-i>/<c-o>) and emacs, (registers, C-u C-SPC) is frustrating. The lack of completion is also frustrating. The Vim and emacs systems may not be perfect (C-n and C-p cannot complete multiple words in vim and emacs doesn't give you an easy way to abort a hippie-expansion if none of the expansions are right, you have to undo them one at a time).
The main upside is that it doesn't take long to learn the editor inside and out and if you make a change the change takes effect everywhere. There aren't any hidden downsides so rebinding keys because the tool simply isn't that complex.
Why are Zowie mice memes?
they aren't. the only flaw is the fixed dpi. fuck you zowie I want 600 dpi. 400 is too slow and 800 is too fast
i've had 2 and the mouse click button always goes out after a few months.
I usually just end up ordering replacement switches from amazon for like a dollar, but it's a pain in the ass to solder them on.
I dunno, I still like them because no garbage drivers to deal with, and no extra horseshit "features" tacked on
>>55150451
They are just a cheap ``premium'' gimmicky mouse some genetically predetermined to be thief Australian came up with.
You would be better off buying a Dell, Microsoft, or Logitech.
