  1. Re:Coming or not? on 128TB SD Cards Are Coming (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    mh ... "could" ... 1tb just released as a prototype so that should take about the time it took the 600mb cd to go to bluray size only and also ... "where did i leave that thing", i cant find it ? did the dog swallow it ? "did you vacuum the place, dear ?" that's a LOT of data in one small spot

  2. Re:Yeah have they met gamers? Sims, Angry Birds on Google Is Planning a Game Platform That Could Take On Xbox and PlayStation (kotaku.com) · · Score: 1

    lol *Games like the Sims, Angry Birds, and Candy Crush sure, you could stream The Sims.* yea that certainly but i dont think they want the hardcore gamers, although they fork out a LOT of cash , the casuals fork out a lot combined in microtransactions, without noticing because "its just the phonebill"... i recently bought a steam link in a sale for €1 ... i mean one euro, right ... i dont needed one, but they sent me one for one euro so that was like, well ... one of those gabe newell things, i think it was too long since i paid tribute and i think he gets itchy and there's a red light flashing in his dungeon like "theres an account that hasnt spent in over a month !!!" or something ... but : the point : i dont need one, but i set it up to stream to the tv downstairs in the living room (over LAN, not wi-fi , for obvious reasons, streaming mostly dark souls 3 at full hd , im not rich enough to have 4k ) and euhm there was LAG ... on my whatever 1000bitsbits lan, there was lag, the resolution sometimes got blurry ... and thats IN-house streaming, it didnt happen much but it happened nonetheless, now at €1 for a permanent device , i mean permanently owned, i'm not complaining there, its not the newest pc but frankly i think it should handle streaming just one game on a windows system with about all metro and crud disabled from running in the background, but it doesnt, not 100% of the time (which in dark souls is ofcourse, plenty of instant death , doom and despair) so we have two issues : dark souls is not angry birds, as you stated , @raymorris ... in-house lag means not-angrybirds over internet or worse wi-fi will be ... *ahem* .... but THREE, the bane of all things post 2000 : DRM ... a streaming service means you own nothing, they stop it, you lose it, i can make a backup of my steam games if i like, get a patch to play it offline, i'll still have it, even if valve shuts down for a reason but with a service like that ? you don't own shyte, right ? they decide when its time for you to stop playing SO ... i will classify this with "the google wave" (does anyone still remember *the google wave* ? it was going to make language barriers non-existent ? im not sure if its allowed to mention the name but i dont work for google , so ...) i wouldnt pay a cent for that, but i sold my last xbox a long time ago too, and they have tekken on pc now, and soon soulcalibur i here ... i see no reason for consoles to exist, i wouldnt "rent" a movie from my isp either since buying the dvd costs justs as much, so i doubt i would pay for this but the common casual crud might (is that disrespectful again ? i didnt say plebs this time ...tsk...)

    ah, its been going on since about the last US elections i think, maybe before that, harassment of the non suit-kind ... you have to dive under the foam to get to the content these days here, the top is usually about trump versus nuggers and white bla ... then some crud on why not save the children instead and a page down you might get to the replies ... if nasa took this much time to understand the concept of "alien", the very meaning of the word, then i'm amazed they got that rover to mars

    yes well not talking about persons here but about conglomerates who have been stripmining the planet for generations . To say their solely responsible for climate change might be scientifically inaccurate but to say they're responsible for pollution, increased cancer rates, poverty and crime certainly is not ... but HEY, its the taxpayers duty to blame it on the unemployed and the foreigners, so what are you waiting for ? i just received a mail from mt. gox after (i lost count) how many years that i may be able to get my 1.5 BTC back at the prices from back then ... that stuff i gpu mined when the world was young ... which would have gotten me a LOT of money by now trading it ... microshyte banned my login account email ... for no reasons given, i have NO CLUE what name i registered under back then so many years ago (i mean it was THEN, it was gox ... the myth of anonimity existed) ... my point ? paper law is useless to all but those who write it

  9. old bs ... the "experiment" in finland had nothing to do with universal basic income, it was WELLFARE, they were giving more money to unemployed people, universal basic income is where EVERYONE gets a basic income they can do with what they want, that is why as opposed to doubling the wellfare money, this will not remove the incentive to work, but it will in general have a number of people choose to work less hours, so they can have more life, effectively opening up space in the 'workspace' for others to do some extra hours to get some extra money, it's a levelling system (flatlining, equalling, distributing) it is NOT wellfare, everytime i see an experiment called UBI and its actually wellfare since only the poor people get lifted above i feel like someone is trying to sabotage the very concept back to the 1960s when there WAS enough jobs for everyone, ubi is not an option, the way the world the world is going its the only option other than outward (space) colonization and resource gathering

  10. Re:Nobody anticipated the level of DMCA abuse.Coun on EU Takes First Step in Passing Controversial Copyright Law That Could 'Censor the Internet' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    the decision was basically made the day the estonian dictatorship proposed it ... just like with the piracy report any arguments to the contrary , even if they came from the internet god itself are swept under the rug ... the votes are cast during world cup footy and by the time anyone wakes up it's "law" ... the actual extent is that every single country can decide, basically paving the way for geo-localized and blocked internet, which won't work, and with great frustration lead to cops scoring massive results statistically while they round up all the copyrrists

  11. Well, in Soviet Europe internet filters will ban piracy and everything the local government doesn't find appropriate ... TFA says literally "generally" ... so "generally" speaking they need one, which is , as far as i know a most vague piece of legalism ... what's "generally" ?

    psychology is not an exact science after all, despite the fact that the erudites of the psyche would love to it's not, the brain is an analogue system, if you try to box that into square excell sheets as data you will be missing an infinite number of states, wont you ? but far be it from me, the Unforgiven Un-degreed to speak ofcourse ... i don't know about this iq-thing, i rarely ever saw much difference between a so-called iq test and those things they make you do when you apply for a factory or supermarket : pattern recognition in sequences ? is that iq ? I never had it tested but i think according to classic tests mine would be slightly above average , i dont get the obession and fetish with it since the 1960s , it leaves out all the other q's .. i find for instance on a certain social network i have joined since last year the top brass being of at least slighlty above average IQ, severely lacking in empathy with the lower life forms and Eq .. two things that can't really be measured and there's your problem : it can't be measured in exact numbers ... so it can't be science :D i never missed the degree, i don't think it does anything to i.q. either, i think the power to understand is completely different from the knowledge absored, to quote the avalanches "sometimes a parrot talks" , ibm watson could win at jeopardy because it could hold a lot of data in his squared boxed mind, i dont think it could drive a car or paint a dali, although it might be able to paint a ruebens or van gogh after study it will probably never understand women hahah what is dumb ? accodring to sais analytical scientists dumb is not being good with numbers mostly i do rely a lot on external memory like i always say syntax is a waste of brainspace, its the logic that counts, everything else can be found by praying to the 1e100 for guidance, but i dont think thats a problem since i dont get stuck in one syntax and my brain only holds the system and routines for instance

    i always felt part of the middle to lower class poverty rates has always been directly connected to the attacks and neutralization of the lower black labour market ... since they cracked down on that, people simply have less money to spend on nikes and snickers ... the 'official' wage is used for saving and getting loans for large purchases but most of that off-the books money, from about EVERYONE i know and have ever known is actually daily living money which means it benefits the retail at the very least, very much indeed, so without it, its no wonder you see about only 25% of stores and cafes as you did 15 years ago, its not just the large chainstores there's just no money to spend, only money to save
