    Investing. He'll probably make it back.

  2. Re:Microsoft is a spent force on Ballmer Leaves Microsoft Board · · Score: 1

    Actually many people who install "Classic Shell" on Windows 8 prefer it to Windows 7 because Windows 8 is alot faster, more stable and has quicker boot times. People who complain about Metro are just too dumb to install classic shell.

    Retard isn't a very nice word. I hope you never have children with disabilities.

    The reason why alot of people have money is that they don't waste it on crap like overrated Apple hardware.

  6. Re:Usability is THE killer feature that Linux need on Elementary OS "Freya" Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Linux developers are notoriously terrible at designing user interfaces. For example: 1. The Unity lens 2. GIMP 3. Open/LibreOffice And those are the "big" applications. When you start looking at the smaller applications its gets even worse. Alot of half-assed, ugly looking applications. Then there is hardware support, which they like to blame on the hardware vendors, but if you look at the poor quality user interfaces you can see that the vendors are only part of the problem. I'm not saying all Linux developers are lazy or poor at design, but that's what comes across when I use Linux applications. It's missing quality control and developers have no incentive to make their programs look nice.

  7. Re:Android on my pi? on MicroxWin Creates Linux Distribution That Runs Debian/Ubuntu & Android Apps · · Score: 1

    If people sideload my app they wont receive automatic updates. I guess I could put an update downloader into the app though. I regularly update my apps.

    I don't care if it bends. Does it blend? That is the question.

  9. Re:Android on my pi? on MicroxWin Creates Linux Distribution That Runs Debian/Ubuntu & Android Apps · · Score: 1

    As an android developer I do the same. Google Play is very convenient for developers. Most of my apps seem to magically appear on other marketplaces anyway after they go on Play. I've heard it was because some of the broadcom components of the PI are closed source.

    Why did they use closed hardware? I think my next board is going to be a riotboard.

  11. No download available on their site.

  12. Android on my pi? on MicroxWin Creates Linux Distribution That Runs Debian/Ubuntu & Android Apps · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Apparently there are no stable releases of Android for the Raspberry PI. I would prefer to have the whole Android distro on my phone, but I guess this is the nexr best thing. Looking forward to testinging it.

  13. Does it have audio in yet? on New Raspberry Pi Model B+ · · Score: 1

    We're wanting to put some of these inside wind turbines so operators have the option to listen for potential problems. Having audio in is important for that. I think maybe some other boards have audio in. I'd be interested in hearing other ideas for broadcasting audio over tcp/ip from a network connected wind turbine..

    Cool story, bro. I stopped reading as soon as you mentioned 3g. This is 2014 and not every consumer has the same requirements or wishes as you.

    Chinese and Russians will be able to do it cheaper. It costs too much to employ Americans and purcjase American made products.

  23. I'm only disappointed that the terrrorists weren't charged and convicted. People like Gerry Adams have alot of blood on their hands, and many people have to deal with the loss of familie members and injuries every day. Fuck the rights of the terrorists.

    I had a similar problem with Android. I purchased the Logmein app, back when it was quite expensive. Then when I moved country Google expected me to pay for it again when I wanted to reinstall it. Thankfully they later made the app free.
