  1. Re:104Mb on Microsoft Brings Office To Android Smartphones For Free · · Score: 4, Informative

    I would like to point out Windows 8.1 can run on a 16 GB partition with 1 GB of ram. Further, MS has historically always pushed hardware.

    What intel giveth, Microsoft taketh away

    The problem is phone manufacturers are holding everyone back to rape them on memory. We should be lambasting the phone companies for such pathetic offerings. Base memory on the cheapest pocket computer should be 32 GB

    I absolutely think the NAACP should at least be renamed to something more egalitarian. I do not support racist ideas of only helping certain kinds of people. Work to raise the floor for everyone regardless of skin color or be silent.

    I hope your drives are smaller than 2 TB or you should be on RAID-6

    It means you are more than willing to fuck over people for arbitrary reasons to line your pocket. Thats ok, lots of other people do that, but it still makes you a fucking asshole.

    "How sorry am I supposed to be for people who are too stupid with greed to give something a second look?"

    Do you have any idea what this says about you?

    Its about scale. Its the same reason why a cop following a person is legal, but warrant-less GPS tracking isnt.

  10. Re:Plex on Amazon Pulls Kodi Media Player From App Store Over Piracy Claims · · Score: 1

    I agree, and we are now seeing Plex's wisdom in playing the game. I LOVE XBMC/Kodi, and apparently i need to give them some money so they can play the game too.

  11. Re:Plex on Amazon Pulls Kodi Media Player From App Store Over Piracy Claims · · Score: 1

    100% pure speculation on my part after watching Plex spread over the last few years. Plex monetizes via subs, Kodi doesnt. Plex uses that money to pave its way into various app stores, even the Windows store.

  12. Re:Plex on Amazon Pulls Kodi Media Player From App Store Over Piracy Claims · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Plex has spent a LOT of money greasing the wheels of the big players. Thats why they have official apps on Xbox one and PS4. Kodi doesnt play the 'pay me ' game.

    Some of the most damning evidence against Bluetooth peripherals is that Logitech avoids it whenever it can. All of my Logitech gear has either a unifying USB plug or a custom one.

    Scaling matters. This design could never scale to millions of users. I'll be honest, someone needs to sit him down and explain to him where we are in the Information Age. This is like using Alchemy principals in Modern Chemistry.

    As it should be. Roads DOMINATE the landscape, pedestrians are given tiny alleys to move through. Its time we start re-thinking roads to include a LOT more alternative access.

    Its par for the course for the President to lie in his capacity as President. I dont love it, but thats how it is. Bill Clinton the man does not get the same pass as Bill Clinton the President.
