  1. Re:Florian is not a blogger, he is a troll on Dispute Damages Would Exceed Android Revenues · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When will /. stop linking to him?

  2. Only on iPod Touch 4gen on iOS 5 Jailbroken · · Score: 2

    Keep in mind this only works on the iPod Touch 4th generation because of a hardware/firmware vulnerability that can't be feasible patched. iPad2 can't be jailbrocken yet.

  3. Re:SIM cards cannot hold video on Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops · · Score: 1

    He could if the cell phone was smashed. I know that when mine hits the ground hard it explodes in all the possible pieces. It wouldn't be out of the question for the MicroSD to be exposed or even forced out of its socket under those circumstances.

    Allow me to whoosh myself.

    You remembered ME but forgot about Vista. That's odd.

  6. Re:Nice, however.. on The Next Phase of Intelligent TVs Will Observe You · · Score: 1

    I distinctly remember that a coffee company was one of the main sponsors for the Twilight Zone (the original series), and they had to change one of the lines of an English submarine captain from asking a cup of tea (the nerve! promoting the competition!) to the compromise of just asking for a cup.

  7. Re:Trade-school mentality on What's Your College Major Worth? · · Score: 1

    If making more money isn't the point of a college degree, why should the taxpayers subsidize you?

    Because an overall more educated populace is a net gain for itself? With more educated voters you'll get a better government. With more highly skilled workers, you'll have better products. The same reason that the taxpayers should subsidize the vaccines for everyone: although the recipient is one, it benefits everyone.

    So, what are you going to do with it?

    I don't know, It doesn't seem to be the bright colored production version. Looking closely, it seems like something a certain shower curtain manufacturer would build.

    I trust software more and more in the long run. And I m not a geek!!

    That's why.

  12. Re:Simple Solution on Imagining the CLI For the Modern Machine · · Score: 1

    Not only that, if you are using Dolphin and go to View > Panel > Terminal (F4), you get a Terminal Panel embedded to the file browser, which is affected by the changes in the file browser (cd /Directory/I/just/entered). I guess it is missing the opposite and maybe changing the folder view panel style when doing ls with different flags. There are definitely possibilities there without throwing away bash just yet :)

    You do have ssh out of the box. That is enough for me.

  20. Re:Monitor size; Amiga; custom soundtracks; Spock on 77 Million Accounts Stolen From Playstation Network · · Score: 1

    why not go back to personal computers for gaming?

    Because most PC monitors are not big enough for two to four players holding gamepads, and the general public is unwilling to try to connect a PC to a TV.

    for most games that come out on consoles a keyboard and mouse are the superior input solution

    How would a keyboard and mouse/trackball work for, say, Street Fighter series or Smash Bros. series? And given that the input APIs on Windows combine all connected keyboards into one virtual device and all connected mice and trackballs into one virtual device, what do players 2 through 4 use?

    Weird, last time I checked my Logitech Rumblepad 2 worked perfectly on my PC, just like my friend's X-Box 360 controller when we played New Super Mario Bros in 1080p on his 32" TV.

    Ten years ago, who even thought you could play music on a computer?

    Any owner of an Atari ST, Amiga, or Apple IIGS computer was playing music twenty years ago: Amiga and IIGS through built-in sampler hardware, and ST through an external MIDI synthesizer. And as AC pointed out, Napster had already made its mark ten years ago.

    I don't think he is talking about synthesizers.

    That can be done with flash too, check The Daily Show and you'll see that the flash player adjusts on the fly to your bandwidth.

    It would be interesting what kind of person is "in the know" of the status of secretive projects in two highly secretive companies. Somebody with lots of friends in California, maybe?
