  1. Fun hack of dubious value on Opening Fixed-Code Garage Doors With a Toy In 10 Seconds · · Score: 1

    Pretty cute to house it in a child's toy when you can go to the hardware store and buy a universal garage door opener remote for $30 which already has all the codes you would need and instructions on how to open every brand. Then, to get the "loot" (broken things, my awesome gas-power mower, various motoring fluids, sweet Guitar Hero guitars and a drum set (that's got to be worth $8), other low-tech child's toys, a shitty ladder, a shitty mop, and some other really shitty stuff) you merely have to disguise your rape van to look like a laundry delivery service van(or NSA surveillance van, your choice) so you can do your nearby attack, in the middle of the daytime. Good luck with that!

    There are some valuables inside the main house, but now you have to break in there too. Still, many folks consider this a viable option than to read some books, get some skills and make better money at a real job, but that's too hard. HAHAHAHAHA!!1! What dopes.

    Because the owners of the aforementioned content fail to supply the consumer, who paid for said content, with a flexible manner in which to share said content via fair use to other devices.

    All my content is from my own DVD, TV connection and friend's DVD libraries. And I fully support people who download shit for free from sites like the old pirate's bay. Why? Because the claim of "missed revenue" is a matter of complete bullshit. I have watched movies for free at other people's houses that I would never bother paying to see again. Did I just steal something? No, I didn't, even if I copy it, because I would have never paid for it in the first place. People like you are too black and white to see the real big picture of how a corporation wants to control how I used the products I purchased from them. THAT baffles me, guy. Now, Mr. RIAA or MPAA go make some shit movies for me to share with friends via a USB drive, pinhead

  7. Re:Waiting on the Raspi on Microsoft To Release Low-Cost Windows 10 With Bing Branding · · Score: 1

    Make that a RPi 2, not the 1 series, which I have two of the little beasties. They're so much fun to futz with! Anyway, I'm not sure why they are porting Win to RPi, since it already comes with a very nice OS that is highly customizable and extendable, and generally several other flavors to boot from, if Raspbian is not what you need for your project. Using the bulk of the horsepower of this little guy for propping up a giant monolithic kernel's GUI such as Win10 might be a lot of wasted cycles to just make the Aero function. Or whatever they call it now. Now, if you could run it headless and get some DOS action down below, then I could see the value for the Windows-savvy folks doing their thing on the software side of this little project system to interface with the GPIOs and other sweet interfaces on RPi. Still, good for them to port it anyway, if just to say mee too. More RPis sold means more support, and that's good for the RPi community at large.

    China is a fast-moving, up-and-comer nation in the modern sense, but they lead the way in air pollution. Some mock our nation's EPA, but you can thank them, and other local entities like them, who put air and water quality above corporate profits, despite the many complaints from the largest abusers and other overly friendly corporate shills and lackeys. Allowing businesses to run amok in the name of a few low-paying jobs and letting them skip out on paying a fair share in taxes is how these things happen. Also, the cheating thing. but that is not new and not unique. Just very very funny when just the other week they crowed long and hard about beating a Google at a search or whatever. Priceless! Next up; China solves the problem with nuclear fission reactors by building them out of thousands of live people who are yelled at to contain the plasma or be fired from their sweet 40 cents a day job.

  15. Re:Already been burnt by the price on Apple Recalls Beats Pill XL Speakers As Fire Risk · · Score: 1

    Not surprisingly, I got some Beats headphones for the kid for xmas and after slight usage had to return them for service. The hinges looked like they were designed by Dr. Dre himself as they were built around a pin(metal, and not liquid metal) that could unseat itself with normal use and then lodge itself into the (plastic)works making the hinge not stick or extend properly. Anyway, it was after normal return period so I just took them to the nearest Apple Store and they repaired them for free. I got the kid a different pair that had a hinge designed by Snoop Dogg, so you KNOW it's good to go, little nephew.

    If you spent $400 on the speakers, don't be sad, I spent that much on two pairs of "high-end" headphones. These kids with their Beats Headphones and their hoola-hoops, WTF is next?!

    Exactly! They just shifted the blame for eavesdropping to the carriers, the data is still being collected, and it's still trivial to fetch. Especially with supremely government friendlys like AT&T. Need a splitter on all main data trunks and peering interconnects to gather all data from all our possibly(probably) terrorist customers? Not a problem. So much for my USA Freedom. There is still some more work here to get this stopped completely and our true freedom restored.

    HAHA! Nice! Well, my h/w hack was to build a "walking ring counter" out of a 555 timer, a binary counter, and a one of ten decoder. Plopped it into a project box and hooked up modular phone plugs, and LEDs to it and viola; Automated Modular Wiring Test Box. More of a project proper than a hack, but there we are. Saved me all sorts of time verifying a wall-jack or a set of connections on M-150s. Yes, I have an M-150 to RJ adaptor! Nerds.

    I love these high school software hacks mucho! Way back in the stone ages we had a DEC PDP-11/34 and an /04 for our BASIC computing class. My s/w hack was building a realistic looking login program for the newbies to "log into" and get frustrated. Oh, GW-BASIC on a PDP-11, those were the days! I won the programming class with my self-modifying BASIC code to graph algebra equations onto a shitty video terminal. Who knew?

    We also broke into the system and had admin access via the crafting of random access data files (which didn't zero their contents!) and viewing the un-zeroed content. Eventually the system password files were discovered and read. Afterwards our instructor got wise and renamed the files, but posted daily file listings for the whole system, so just check it for four small, new files, and then copy them to 8-inch (holy crap 8-INCH!) floppy when you boot the frame, and you're in, bros.

    I'd wager that the directionalness(made up word) of the graphene sponge might be due to the alignment of the nanotubes in the sponge material, but they'll figure it out.

  24. Re:Exactly. on Netflix Is Experimenting With Advertising · · Score: 2

    He's got a point; "why adverts in a stream of media I'm paying for?" Not entitled at all. I take the same stance. If I'm paying for media, I do not expect to see adverts, however, yes, they do inject them into my pay-for Dish subscription, along with some shitty channels I did not ask for. Easy enough to fix in these ways; DVR FWD through the adverts, sound kill the adverts and then do not pay attention to them, and my favorite switch to another source during adverts scheduled on my live show. For channels, I just do not add them to my custom guide, then when I see the trolls at the electronic stores asking me to "save big by switching to their dubious service" I ask this question; where are my al la carte channels? This usually shuts them down cold. The channel packages are the shit they push, and they are anti-consumer by not letting us pick the channels we wish to subscribe to. It's a fucking con job. So, I choose to avoid all their adverts AND reserve the fair use right to copy my media down to another device that I manage. Not some fucking corporate media overlords.

    I don't know of one sane person who thinks advertising is worth the millions of $$ that companies spend on it. Consider this; if there were no adverts would you still be able to discover new products to purchase? Of COURSE you would! I find new shit on Amazon every time I visit! No one needs to force feed me any adverts for this to occur. In fact I go out of my way to boycott products I find too often in my media stream. Period. I adblock right at the consumer level. Other than lawyers, advertising people are the lowest forms of scum in this sector. Fucking useless air-wasters, every single one of them.
