  1. Re: apple can pull some DCMA BS and sue them on FBI Hires Cellebrite To Crack San Bernadino iPhone (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Cellebrite has an American arm and is already the de facto forensics software for law enforcement in us and Canada.

  2. Re: All your music... on Music Streaming Sales Outstrip Digital Downloads For First Time (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Hah! No one can take my bootleg underground pop-up impromptu Pixies intimate invite-only concert recorded on my friend's HTC.

  3. Re: Mobile is broken now... on Reports: NVIDIA Launching a Distro of Its Own (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Lol what are you on about? Makes no sense.

  4. Re: Interested in Nvidia's version of Linux on Reports: NVIDIA Launching a Distro of Its Own (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Fallout tactics? That was 15 fucking years ago! No one cares why you can't be bothered to look into ANYTHING else since then. But besides that temper tantrum you put up about your grudge against the gaming industry, the reason "trying this distro out in a VM" won't help you is that (if it exists), it will rely heavily on proprietary drivers and be focused, as you mentioned, on GAMES. How well do you think VMware or vbox will support this kind of acceleration?

  5. Re: Can I run CyanogenMod on my PC? on CyanogenMod 13.0 Release 1 Released (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    Not really. There's AOSP, but you'll find the android landscape pretty barren without the convenience Google has bred into our expectations of phone behavior.

  6. Re:PS3 clusters were *briefly* interesting... on Using Kexec Allows Starting Linux In PlayStation 4 · · Score: 0

    How many times must this be repeated? It's not the hardware, it's the implementation.

  7. No, I'm afraid you need to read up. There is no such thing as context *within* a creative work, only a level of semblance to the work. If what you're saying were true, no one could copyright software.

  8. You misunderstand the term "work", which in copyright can be understood here to mean the image of the Batmobile.

  9. It's spelled "Mask of the Fantasm", you insensitive clod!

  10. Spoken like a true idiot. Apple absolutely *did* use lock-in on the ipod and everything after both to sell and retain slaves to their products. When you've actually spent some time trying to manually curate your mp3s, maybe you'll understand why any number of other music library managers is better than the garbage which is iTunes.

  11. Re: When will people learn? on Raspberry Pi 3 Is a Nice Upgrade, But Alternatives Exist With Faster Performance (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    If you are counting on a retail board to power your startup, you are off to a very bad start. RPi is built for education, not discrete function.

  12. Re: No one plays games any more on AMD Wants To Standardize the External GPU (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    "and I don't know anyone that can get the games that they paid for to work." That one's easy: You know 0 people who use Steam. Chances are also good that you know 0 people altogether.

  13. Re: No one plays games any more on AMD Wants To Standardize the External GPU (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Agree. The fellow is out of touch.

  14. Re:No one plays games any more on AMD Wants To Standardize the External GPU (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Yelling "get off my lawn" only works if you know what you're talking about. Bullshit, by the way... Plenty of people play serious games on computers.

  15. 2.5 hdd in 19" racks aren't new... on Samsung Ships 15.38TB SSD With Up To 1,200MBps Performance (computerworld.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    "where IT managers can fit twice as many of the drives in a standard 19-inch, 2U rack compared to an equivalent 3.5-inch drive." LOL! Who ARE these editors? Fresh out of high school?

  16. http://www.cnet.com/news/black... One of many announcements.

  17. Re:Eric Brewer = Moron on Google Proposes New Hard Drive Format For Data Centers (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    +1 for repeating yourself almost exactly. +5 For not being correct. There is more involved in managing data center performance than simple access times or temps. Even with multi-ton cooling, a data center is *still* looking at a lower operating cost to spin hot drives than to use super $$$ high-capacity SSDs. SSDs do not solve any problems for data centers, because individual drive access time is not interesting to a data center. Rather, the performance in $ per KIOPS for the entire array is the real measure of performance.

  18. Re:Multiple new form factors would be better on Google Proposes New Hard Drive Format For Data Centers (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    You would never see this technology in your PC in the same way you don't' currently have any 15K SAS drives or Fiber Channel host adapters.

  19. Re: Not on Mint on Multimedia Powerhouse FFmpeg Hits 3.0 · · Score: 1

    Debian *did* decide for you and chose libav for about a year and then realized that no one wanted it.

  20. Re: The duck quacked on DoJ Wants Apple To Decrypt 12 More iPhones (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    This quote doesn't really apply when large chunks of the public decry said loss of liberty.

  21. Re: Linux got so close. In 2005. on Ask Slashdot: Linux and the Home Recording Studio? · · Score: 0

    Interesting that both systemd and pulseaudio come from the same toilet.

  22. Nope. WordPress is a catastrophically awesome choice if you want to get owned. As was mentioned, the only way to use WordPress securely is to use it to generate static HTML content.

  23. Re: Cam shafts work without the battery on Camless Internal Combustion and the Digital Age (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    That is absolutely not true. If it were, there wouldn't be a timing chain or belt on almost every one. Non-interference engines are heavy and inefficient.

  24. Re: Cam shafts work without the battery on Camless Internal Combustion and the Digital Age (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    Ummm.... Almost all engines since mid 80s are interference.

  25. Re: Kids on Why Some Cities Get All the Good Jobs (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 1

    You beat me to it. Trains were supposed be the great equalizers of work opportunities and look how that turned out.
