"Warren Buffet proof that rick people are not smart", says Lumpy.
Honestly, the old fart has no clue at all. there has been free news for thousands of years. I think the man needs to get a clue as to how the world works and step outside his ivory tower and see how things have been done for the past 200 years.
free news has been king for over 50 years now. I dont pay for my TV news.
"I have no problem with individuals recording stuff. But the moment business profits from creating infringing copies, fuck 'em."
So you are behind the destruction of the TiVo company?
They profit monthly from people stealing copyright at home. In fact some of the peopel at home with tivo's go as far as watching the TV show MULTIPLE TIMES and even skip the commercials.
Utterly vile people, but TiVo makes a tidy profit off of the monthly fees to keep the boxes working. They should be shut down as well!
It's the same as taking a shotgun and blowing someones head off.
Honest people will contact a website and say, "that is my image, can you please either stop using it or you can license it from me." Then if they say "ZOMG EAT SAND!" then you do the DMCA takedown.
It's like someone running at you, you yell STOP! first not Blow their head off and then say stop...
But it's getting really close. Cripes we are doing things today in our pocket that only 25 years ago was utterly impossible on a $20billion dollar mainframe.
If the rate of Growth in processing power continues we will have a computer with the human brain level of processing within 20 years. If we get a breakthrough or two, it could be a whole lot sooner.
What the human brain does is massive. Just the processing in the visual cortex is utterly insane in horsepower.
If you point your FTA dish at the ISS and can track it you can watch the real feed. If your FTA receiver can do all the different broadcast file types.
I am controlling the FTA dish with my Ham radio tracker (Alt-Az FTW bitches) and use it to view.
Problem is I only can watch when they pass in a visible window:-( Dang you line of sight and physics!
Otherwise point your FTA setup at AMC18 at 105.0deg W. Transponders 39 to 41.
No it's nice to be able to do this. I work from home about 4X a month. and I just refuse to be abused. The side effect is that I dont work for shitty companies.
I have turned down job offers because I get a bad feeling from the owner/HR/management. But I also wander a bit after the interview and talk to other employees. get the real dirt before you work somewhere.
And yes the BSA call is a great weapon, be sure to follow it up with an anonymous OSHA violation tip.
Oh and if you work in one of the shitty states that lets the employer fire you for any reason, I suggest moving. your termination would allow me to sue them in court easily for 3-5 years of salary.
"here's nothing like having to take a leak in your own home with the bathroom being 20 feet away and not being able to do it because you can't get away from the phone."
There is a secret technology called bluetoothso you can be on the phone with a headset. and if you sit and pee they cant hear you, that's why girls do it.
When I work from home, I dont even THINK of starting until start time and I am offline the second 5pm hits. Phones go to voicemail, sucks to be you with yout 5:01 TPS report as I will not even know about it until 7:59 the nest morning.
If you let your employer abuse you, they expect you to take it. Stand up and realize you are doing your office a favor by working there, not the other way around.
Voip service probably one of the several thousand of half Voip services that have POP lines in the USA. Hell you can do this with Skype.
If they were true hackers, they would compromise a company phone system and then dial in and then back out to completely hide their location. but very few hackers are actually hackers anymore.
Until you discover the traditional Monocrystalline and Poly panels also will last 30 years and these have no proven longevity so you have to assume they will be dead in 5. Suddenly they have almost no value.
Bet you your on dash readings are also off by 10-30%. Hooking in ODBII scanner to read injector pulses on a BMW and found the dash reading was 25% optimistic... trying to make the owner feel better.
"You don't have some unique brain power that others lack."
Yes we do, I have worked in the Corporate world long enough to see it clearly.
We have that unique desire to learn and embrace change. The rest of the corporate world, Change is usually met with angry mobs holding pitchforks and torches.
I see a LOT of companies drooling all over the chromebook for use in business. Copuled with Google Business services you can eliminate thousands of dollars of IT costs per year per user.
A couple of our clients here are completely ditching the MSFT train and ringing deep in the Google Cool-aid. For their sales people, Google's flavor is working perfectly for them and Microsoft cant even hope to compete right now.
Granted, you cant do this for the Engineers and other power users, but the entire sales force and managers? you bet they can be moved to chromebooks.

I would have rigged up two things.
1 - a huge "planet express" sticker on every box.
2 - a small device rigged to play "never gonna give you up" 30 seconds after they open the hatch.
Come on, a futurama joke and a ISS rickrolling would be utterly epic.

The Porn Video Games. we have not had any good ones for over a decade! And Duke Nukem Forever was not porn unless you are a right wing extremist.
Us zombies demand good porn video games! And PLEASE have it voiced by Ron Jeremey!
Processing power does not equal speed.

Processing Power. We just dont have enough yet..
But it's getting really close. Cripes we are doing things today in our pocket that only 25 years ago was utterly impossible on a $20billion dollar mainframe.

You must have been to the last field day we had here....
Yup. Right here is the correct and HONEST way to do this. Anyone using DMCA takedowns as their first move is a complete and total scumbag.
It could be worse he could be a fat idiot on AM radio.
The Answer is a Lot of light watermarks across the image.
Sorry but it's a fact of the internet. If you dont want your image lifted, only power Low res (1024X768 or less) and watermarked.
If you point your FTA dish at the ISS and can track it you can watch the real feed. If your FTA receiver can do all the different broadcast file types.

It was pushed to Android phones over a week ago with the last app update.
I tried it twice and deleted it as it sucked.

Now see this would be fun, fire up a VM with Ubuntu 11 on it and let them have a go.
Or better yet, a windows Skinned XFCE. it looks right but nothing is right......

Voip service probably one of the several thousand of half Voip services that have POP lines in the USA. Hell you can do this with Skype.

"The expensive part of solar is the installation."
Hmm, I better go write someone a check because for my install because it was not the expensive part.
I laid out 50% of my install costs on the panels alone.
If you hire COMPETENT electricians you get it done quickly and no more expensive than having a generator put in.
No it made the rich CEO's of the few US solar companies whine like babies to Congress.
Wah, I cant afford a new Mazarati every 4 months! make the bad china people stop! WE cant let solar get to the point that the poor can afford it! WAH!
Yeah, I'm pissed as hell at the US cell and panel makers for being whiny bitches and refusing to compete.
Until you discover the traditional Monocrystalline and Poly panels also will last 30 years and these have no proven longevity so you have to assume they will be dead in 5. Suddenly they have almost no value.
If it wont last 15+ years it's a failure.
Just like this thin film crap all over the place from china, works great but loses 40% of the output in 12 months and then slowly dies within 5 years.
