  1. Re:Why is iPad so much better than iPhone? on Apple Announces iPad Air · · Score: 1

    Nope. We'll never again see a Wintel paradigm in computing. The field has way too many large players now.

  2. Re:Major shot at Microsoft, too. on Apple Announces iPad Air · · Score: 2

    Its because they wont play ball with the media cartels.

  3. Re:A shot at other OS, computer *and* device maker on Apple Announces iPad Air · · Score: 1

    For Bluetooth headphones, why not? I use an NFC sticker on the back of my PS3 controller to pair with my my Nexus 7.

  4. Re:Red state on Would-Be Tesla Owners Jump Through Hoops To Skirt Wacky Texas Rules · · Score: 2

    Australia didnt have the 2nd Amendment to contend with. The Founding Fathers felt so extraordinarily strongly about private gun ownership they made put it right after the right to speak.

  5. Re:This is why I'm keeping my truck for forever on Oregon Extends Push To Track, Tax Drivers Per Mile · · Score: 1

    You are right, but under this new scheme, that would be highly improper. If they want that high resolution data of of our driving usage they MUST take into account these things. Lets make a smarter future, no?

  6. Re:Memory options on Apple Announces iPad Air · · Score: 1

    Your statement wholly depends on what device you are talking about. For the 64 GB ipad my point remains.

    Odomoeter based systems assume that all cars are driven on public land at all times and this is NOT THE CASE at all. First of all, to make your plan work, the meter would have to stop every time i enter private property with my car.

  8. Re:This is why I'm keeping my truck for forever on Oregon Extends Push To Track, Tax Drivers Per Mile · · Score: 1

    The odometer is meaningless other then car value. It doesnt say WHERE the car was driven. I could have a farm truck that i use to get out to my back forty and occasionally ride into town. Do i need to pay for all those miles, including the ones i put in on my own private 'roads'?

  9. Re:Only 16GB on Apple Announces iPad Air · · Score: 1

    At $100 per breakpoint. I fucking hate how this came to be. No external storage AND pay through the nose for storage.

  10. Re:4K display, anyone? on Apple Announces iPad Air · · Score: 1

    Wait, they are working on Thunderbolt 2? Thunderbolt 1 is a huge market failure. You can barely find any thunderbolt parts, much less any that are reasonably priced.

  11. Memory options on Apple Announces iPad Air · · Score: 0

    When is Apple going to join the 21st century on memory pricing. $100 per breakpoint is insane. 16 GB baseline is a joke at these premium prices. Attempting to get $100 for 32 GB is a giant fuck you.

    Do you even understand the word Liberty?

    Why is that strange to you. There are MANY rights the citizens have that the government does not.

    Fabricated and unsupported are VASTLY different things.

    Am i writing a fucking paper here? It was a vague recollection that i thought i would add in. What is astonishing is that you got +5 insightful for this bullshit.

    I did look for a citation, both before and after my post but came up empty.

  19. Re:Tiniest violin on OCZ May Be On Its Last Legs · · Score: 1

    Can you explain why hardOCP and hardforums are separate? The way they do linking is incredibly annoying. THe article title always links to hardforum instead of the source.

    Jobs himself had to tell the CEO of OCZ to cut out the crap products.

  21. Re:The game is not copyrighted on Full Screen Mario: Making the Case For Shorter Copyrights · · Score: 1

    DO you think it wise to let companies have perpetual trademarks? At some point a trademark becomes cultural property as well. Where is the function to allow that to fall into public domain?

    Great, so i can play it on proprietary hardware.....

    Steam Machines are ALREADY successful, they are called gaming PCs. The biggest hurdle is educating and redefining the terms. SO many people are still under the impression that Steam Machine = Workstation PC that also plays games.

    The DOJ is arguing that such designs should be inherently illegal.

  25. Re:Freedom of Speech / Freedom to Listen? on Google Fiber Partially Reverses Server Ban · · Score: 1

    Adding a port number to a URL is like dialing an extension on a phone. Sure its not 100% convenient, 'direct dial' is preferred, but its not a civil rights violation. The 'workaround' is incredibly trivial and adds no burden. I wont address the rest of your comment as it is irrelevant to the point.
