  1. The prosecutors are pulling the plea deal they give everyone now. Only a fraction of criminal cases make it to trial. The DA doesn't have the resources or budget to decrypt the phones and hopes everyone takes the deal.

    And be seen using a flip phone? Never. How many of these anti capitalist leftist protesters were using $1000 iPhones? Hell use regular HF radios with keywords.

    I see computers sitting out for the trash that are definitely 64 bit. Stop being a cheap ass and run something newer than a decade.

    Back when the first 64 bit UltraSPARC boxes came out the 64 bit OS was actually slower than the 32 bit version. You only ran the 64 bit version if you needed the large amounts of memory.

    Nothing really wrong with AS/400. Those machines last forever until someone from IBM shows up and shuts them down. The architecture and underlying OS is fascinating. They eliminated problems like buffer overflows using hardware. Now the OS has been ported to the POWER architecture, it's not going away anytime soon.

    The machine shop at my job has tons of internal paperwork that gets generated by some custom 16 bit windows apps. They generate dynamic forms based on the options and then print a postscript file. Easier to run them in XP mode in Windows 7 than write something new from scratch.

    Jailbroken and rooted phones say otherwise.

    Their registers are monochrome screens so I'm leaning towards AS/400.

  9. I want the file located on my phone for offline use.

  10. You'll use exactly the number of apps that Apple tells you to and you'll like it.

  11. Good luck putting a file on your phone without iTunes having its way.

  12. x265 is where things are going. Look to the pirate scene to pick the best codec.

    I use VLC and Android devices. I don't have to transcode a fucking thing.

  14. Something like 90% of films from the silent era have been lost. That is a huge chunk of history and art lost to time.

    The WaPo has had it out for Trump ever since he threatened to cancel their press credentials.

  16. Let me know when you have evidence that can stand up in court. The dems sabotaged Bernie because he wouldn't take corporate cash. Trump pulled off a victory that nobody predicted. Shut up and vote in 2018.

    Ok everyone dicks out. Let's compare two decade old hardware to current generation.

    You can still get into the BIOS and boot from another device. That is NOT bricked.

    So what was wrong with the old route? Did it not play nice with systemd or something?

    The last distro I tried (Debian?) did not include route or even nslookup. So my network connection wasn't working and I had no way to even install this package short of downloading it from somewhere else and transferring by USB. No guarantees that will work either as it probably needs a dozen dependencies.

  25. Its all 16:9, no deal.
