  1. Komodo Anybody? on GitHub Open Sources Atom, Their Text Editor Based On Chromium · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm here at work using it right now...anyway, Komodo runs on Linux, Mac, Windows and is based on Mozilla...it has also been free and around for quite a while...extensibility? Yep...

    I don't get why everyone reinvents the wheel when they could instead make something that already exists, but is more complete better.

    ...it and football as a whole, honestly. IMO a big majority of football culture is that of ignorant and/or dumb, brutish people.

    What's with the run on, incomplete sentence?

  4. Not Hackers on Blackhole Exploit Kit Successor Years Away · · Score: 3, Insightful

    People who do this aren't hackers, they're degenerate criminals. Hacking doesn't mean cybercrime, and I resent the assumption that it does.

  5. CFL Bulbs Suck; LED Are Great! on 60% of Americans Unaware of Looming Incandescent Bulb Phase Out · · Score: 1

    CFL bulbs, containing mercury, and lasting nowhere near what they're said to, suck and are overpriced. LED bulbs, while expensive, are amazing. I have some 10W and 7W LED bulbs by topin, which I got half price on ebay from someone who imports them.

    I can't tell much difference in light output, but the fact I'm burning so much less power makes it all worth it.

  13. Re:Taxpayers Pay For and Own The School on EV Owner Arrested Over 5 Cents Worth of Electricity From School's Outlet · · Score: 1

    To haters over this comment, you should understand there are reasonable and unreasonable expectations of service here. Water fountains, toilets, toilet paper, soap, paper towels, hand dryers, etc are public useable in schools so long as the person using them has a legitimate reason to be at the school. They won't yell if you plug in your phone where I'm from, I doubt they'd care about a car.

    Don't bring private property such as your/my house into this debate - it doesn't belong here, as a school is PUBLIC PROPERTY. Different rules apply.

    Stealing a school bus or breaking into the school to hold your own function without permission/paying for the space rental is one thing, but using the utilities there when you're there for whatever legitimate reason is fine.

    I see people use the playgrounds all the time during the off hours - should we arrest them for depreciating and breaking down public property? This police state crap is awful.

  15. Do Not Want on Acer Officially Announces C720 Chromebook · · Score: 1

    I'm a power user and while I use google products, I certainly don't trust them. That said, I understand planned obsolescence, but I really just want to see some ARM systems put out that are comparable to modern x86 machines in terms of specs.

    If anything this should have an HD display, 4-8 core processor, and 8GB ram for me to even care about it.

    Likewise, on the non-mobile front, I wish Cubie and these other manufacturers would produce something that'd fit in a standard case, accept standard RAM modules up to 32 or 64gb, not have limitations on the gigabit ethernet controller, and have more than one SATA port. I want a real computer, only with the ARM architecture and power savings.

    I nag the manufacturers and they just brush it off.

  19. Why? $200 = Better Atom Board+RAM on Newegg on The MinnowBoard is a Low-Cost, Open Hardware Single-Board Computer (Video) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If I wanted a freaking atom board, I'd buy one for $100 and load it up with another $100 worth of RAM.

    I'm going to keep complaining about the fact that there's not a low power, low cost ARM platform out there ($200 or less) with hardware SATA RAID support. While the cubieboard is the best ATM and supports port multipliers, it's really too bad that the thing can't use both devices attached to the multiplier at the same time. All I want is a hybrid NAS and home server that has 2-4 cores and 2-4gb RAM. Size isn't really a factor but power usage is...

    Anyone know of a platform I've not looked at?

    If he thought things through and legitimately cared about his own well being and freedom, he would have scrubbed them himself as Snowden has.

  23. Re:This is A Distraction From the NSA Scandal on Bradley Manning Sentenced To 35 Years · · Score: 1

    The journalists and wikileaks do not have the responsibility in respect to Manning's freedom, though. Seeing as he was personally invested in this effort to blow a whistle, even though it could potentially jail him for life, he should have gone through and cleaned the documents as best he could in an attempt to keep himself from being blamed for ...well, the things he is now going to jail for. I feel he's imprisoned more because he was sloppy, and because of the repercussions of his actions, and less because of "treason" as he wasn't attempting to aid enemies.

    The US entered the Vietnam war under false pretenses - the bombing at the Gulf of Tonkin of the USS Maddox was likely not all it appeared to be, if it happened at all. Just like Afghanistan and Egypt in the past and now, the US had no real business being in there - we only went to war in Vietnam to make Lyndon Johnson look tough and get him reelected.

    Regarding the sentencing - the judge decides when to release that, being a fed, he likely has been colluded with to shape the news landscape.

    I'm not insulting - I'm a twentysomething hacker type myself. I didn't say all of us were that way, but MANY of us are, and those are the ones who will blindly follow Assange or Anonymous all the way over the cliff.

  25. Re:This is A Distraction From the NSA Scandal on Bradley Manning Sentenced To 35 Years · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Don't be thick, and "war crimes" are defined quite differently from what he did here. Being in a permanent war with a nonexistent entity doesn't really count as a true war - "war on drugs," "war on terror," Vietnam - all farces or based on farces.

    I'm saying they released the sentencing information and the news about the NSA on the same day in an effort to obscure what the NSA is up to, as they know most of the techie/twenty something/hacker types will quickly drop everything to do some sort of "Free Manning" chant and forget the other news.
