  1. Re:If money is no object on Ask Slashdot: Linux Friendly Video Streaming? · · Score: 1

    You are aware that you can build a decent multimedia system for about 400$US, right? I went over kill on mine because I want to watch my BDs and games in 3D. However, that one can run Skyrim and the like in full graphics and was only 1200$US.

    True story. I am a fan of Linux, but when I decided to build a media center(HTPC) system for the living room, I went with Windows 7.

    I think it would be perfectly legal.
    To me it seems the same as having Marijuana seeds or spores of a psilocybin mushroom. It's perfectly legal to be in possession of them. However, if you attempt to start growing them, it's your ass.

    Bad analogy?

    IF you've been here for more than 10yrs you wouldn't need any proof. You'd of lived it and now be sad because of it.

  5. sold it all off on Alan Kay Says iPad Betrays Xerox PARC Vision · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Funny thing is Xerox sold a lot of their stuff to Apple in the 70s.
    Seems to me that Xerox got out of the market 40yrs ago and has no right to complain about its path now.

    I don't celebrate Christmas, but don't care if anyone else does. It's actually relevant to about 1 billion people. April Fools day, is fucking stupid, because it's not relevant.

    no, reddit is like this everyday and follows with a dipping IQ. I see reddit as the idiocracy of the Internet.

    This is why I pull pranks every day of the year....except today because it's, like you said, fucking stupid.

    Thank you for keeping it free for me :D
    I'll keep using adblock as I despise advertisements. Another reason I haven't watched TV since the mid-90s. I PAY for cable and I STILL get commercials? WTF MATE^^ IF your product is THAT good, I'll hear about it!

    And to borrow from the late BIll Hicks:
    IF you are in advertising...KILL YOURSELF! buy a rope, suck a tail pipe, borrow a gun from an NRA buddy and kill yourself.

    Because the hipsters and douche bags are now able to leave their house with one.
    AND you have to remember they bought that super awesome ring tone that they just have to hear every 2min. "OH the good part is coming up!"

    What? You never bashed the receiver on the desk a few times to get a few loud 'clunks' in before you hung it up?

  15. Re:They beauty of smart phones on Lamenting the Demise of Hangups · · Score: 1

    The best thing that worked for me is to now slam my phone on the desk a few times before pressing hangup. I highly recommend that your device has the gorilla glass. I only had to learn that once.

    Exactly! This is a great cheap product. Very rare to find that nowadays. Now that just about anyone down to a 3rd world country can afford these, they are going to be on back order for a loooong time.

    This guy seriously over paid. I bought mine for 35$, with a case 8$, power adapters 5$ and 8GB Class6 SD cards for 8$. Since I bought 4 of each I was over 200$ and got free shipping. :D

    Google "under desk elliptical trainer" and get a ton of choices

  18. Re:good move on Debian Allows Trademark Use For Commercial Activities · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes! I did read the owners manual to my car. That is why I know it has 156HP and a 13.7gal fuel tank. There is a lot more I know about it, but that's irrelevant. Pretty much useless knowledge until I decide to sell it...if I ever do. It's a really nice car and I like it a lot.

    It's sad that I am one of the few who still reads things these days. You should try it, you'll learn a lot about things.

  19. good move on Debian Allows Trademark Use For Commercial Activities · · Score: 1

    Way to go Debian :)
    This is definitely a move in the right direction. Unlike the death threats from Intel if you use that sticker that comes in the boxed proc. Have you read that thing?

    This does work well.
    I took a garbage bag and an old vacuum to the dumpster. I still had to go back to take one more bag and by the time I walked back to the dumpster the vacuum was gone. That took less than 5min and no craigslist ad.

    I have always turned of the third party cookies, but good move for making it a default.
    And to hell with marketers, they can cry all they want. They have already stripped most television show of a title sequence and forced shows to start rolling credits while still running. Ihave always wondered why I pay for a ton of cable channels when all I am really doing it watching commercials. Good thought to the creator of the DVR.
