  1. Re:Is there no commandline? on ChromeOS Will No Longer Support Ext2/3/4 On External Drives/SD Cards · · Score: 1

    See i thought native USB OTG was added to KitKat. I can OTG on my Moto G natively, its right in the Storage UI, but not my Jelly Bean Nexus 7.

    Shops that deploy cheap crappy routers deserve the network they paid for.

    Then maybe the business should be using a commercial level router in a commercial setting......

    He is supposed to HIRE someone that is. Just like you hire someone to install a water heater, or electrical lines. If you are deploying COMMERCIALLY, you should hire someone who knows what the fuck they are doing, or dont bother.

    WE hate him for NON-petty reasons. He set back computing by DECADES, almost missed the internet, but yeah, hes a fucking genius. Bill Gates was smart and lucky, which he used to be a complete and utter toolbag. No one should laud him, ever.

  8. Re:GOOD NEWS!!! on FCC Puts Comcast and Time Warner Merger On Hold · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The FCC got a ridiculously high amount of feedback for this issue, so they have to take it slow. They still plan on letting it happen, just have to make a show of it first.

  9. The final straw for me was when i wanted to add a data hotspot to my iphone 4s while i was on the train to San Diego. I didnt want to pay the extra $20/month just to internet connection share but i needed it. The guy told me that they werent allowed to make any changes to 3g plans at all any more. It was upgrade to a 4g plan and new phones or fuck you. I ordered a Moto G LTE the next day and went to T-mobile and am very happy with my service so far. I save almost $70/mo in the switch. (3 lines total, 2 [1GB] lines and an unlimited line +5G hotspot for $160/mo.)

  10. Re:I have seen some malware trying to infect my Ma on New OS X Backdoor Malware Roping Macs Into Botnet · · Score: 1

    I have Dl'ed subtitles in zip in the past, but there are other methods i choose to use instead. If the subtitle is zipped, it usually means people are forcing you to use a mechanism to suit their ends. It is plain text, there is very little legitimate reason to zip it unless you are trying to obfuscate or force an action (click a link, look at ads, etc). Multi-langs are easily handled with separate links. I dont support those kinds of models for distributing PLAIN TEXT, its dumb. Nowadays i just use the built in mechanism in XBMC ( on an isolated machine that only runs XBMC) to grab them without resorting to dangerous methods.

  11. Re:I have seen some malware trying to infect my Ma on New OS X Backdoor Malware Roping Macs Into Botnet · · Score: 1

    If a subtitle comes in a zip by itself instead of a plain text document, you are doing it VERY WRONG. There is no legit reason to zip up a text file like that.

    "Some of the citizens are crazy and really are a danger to us." Those citizens are just as much citizens as you are. Using us vs them mentality is playing someone else's game. 'US' includes every citizen of the United States.

    This shouldnt even be brought up. We should be talking about many orders of magnitude more human genetic material or we begin to look like Zod in Man of Steel.

    No, not even close to enough. We need HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of genetic samples to make a truly viable Mars colony. Dont think minimums, think maximums when it comes to shaping the human race like this.

    "Sending one women, and then having the inseminated with a hand picked material will have a greater chance of birth a genetically superior child."

    Its like you have learned nothing from the giant petri dish we live on called Earth. If you want life to flourish, you shotgun that shit like crazy. In evolution and survival, optimum at one angle often means weak at another. Massive genetic diversity is the key, not producing perfect specimens. We will need genetics from hundreds of thousands of people to make a truly viable colony on mars.
