    It not ENTERTAINING athleticism. Sports are just as much about spectacle as athleticism at the high levels. I dont like watching sports, or 'esports' but i love athleticism, and esports have none.

    This isnt a 'market' issue, its an infrastructure issue. Your argument is like saying we shouldn't bother building steel bridges, we'll jsut use wood, it works, the market has spoken.

    Those other examples are political lies. Clinton was asked directly as a man and he lied, not as the President but as the man. Thats why its different. I can excuse other President's lies as a function of their office. Not saying i love it, but im a realist.

    Her husband looked us all in the eye and lied to directly to our face. irrefutably. Thats all you ever need to know about Hillary, her husband, the liar.

    I dont have a problem with Chrome on Surface 3 (128GB/4GB). How many tabs are you opening? Do you have the 64GB/2 GB RAM version?

    Never heard of a backup gun like a small pistol? Or a knife. The fact is if you tackle a person holding a weapon, you GREATLY increase your chance of being summarily executed, lawfully.

    You do realize that if he can justifiably shoot you for attacking him, right? Assault is more socially unacceptable than open carry.

    Only XP had a special MCE version of the OS. After that it was baked in.

    The problem is that not long after Win 10 goes live, MS will cutoff the show listings, effectively killing the live TV feature.

  12. Re: In other words on Netflix Is Experimenting With Advertising · · Score: 1

    In 2011 i built a 6 tuner Windows MCE setup to capture Over-The-Air broadcasts. Since then, I have been recording all of prime time (6 channels) compressing them and uploading them to a remote site. I probably havent even looked at ANYTHING on it in over a year simply because i cant stand the commercials, even with the ability to fast forward through them. Its more of an endurance test now instead of an actual DVR someone is using.

    Hell, even Resource Monitor (resmon) requires admin just to LOOK at the system state.

    The problem is they run into the 'Kinect' problem. All this great tech and no one can make a compelling experience out of it (relative to the cost)

  16. Re:Duh on Adblock Plus Victorious Again In Court · · Score: 2

    I really liked the idea of dynamic edits, even if the methods this group had in mind sucked.. We could have had The Phantom Edit much sooner. It would be awesome to have the whole original *The Phantom Menace* file and then add a text file that says only play The Phantom Edit, or any other fan edit without actually spicing and re-rendering the whole thing.

    Find a better business model. This model you are championing sucks, you brought this upon yourselves. Monetization is important, but the directions ads have gone broke decorum in every possible way. I dont feel guilty about idiots wasting their money trying to use a shitty model

    Saying something didnt run on x86 Android is not saying anything. Further, with lollipop, the underlying processor really is a bit moot. My x86 powered Android TV (Nexus Player) runs everything i throw at it.

    What you are saying is 'if you only look at a subset of all software, x86 has less.' Actual productive software mostly exists on x86. The sheer number of tools, shims and wedges available is absolutely overwhelming compared to mobile.

    What model? 64GB/2GB or 128/4GB? I have the latter and its really smooth. Also, Chrome is a resource hog.
