    moto x already does continuous audio recording and sends it to google. it has a dedicated cpu core just for that. and people are very happy with the functionality :/

  2. Re:No. on Should Microsoft Be Required To Extend Support For Windows XP? · · Score: 1

    you should probably read up on these:
    1. ASLR
    2. UAC
    3. BitLocker
    4. Kernel patch protection
    5. Better process and service sandboxing

  3. Re:Business as usual. on Why Movie Streaming Services Are Unsatisfying — and Will Stay That Way · · Score: 1

    ok so just delete it after watching. its gonna consume the same amount of data anyway. and who knows, maybe after the first watch you might wanna keep it for another watch. also, rewind and forward sucks hard on streaming.

    1. Unity actually provides some benefits. Like for example full screen zoom on smaller laptop screens.

    LOL! full screen zoom! such advanced technology! its only been there in windows and linux for ~15 years.

    2. It breaks much less of UI conventions.

    no it doesn't. it breaks everything. at least windows has the decency of letting users switch between the desktop and metro.

    3. You can actually replace Unity with something else within minutes. (Or you can even install the Ubuntu edition without it.)

    forgive me if i don't want a neglected product without any sort of support. and the easily replaceable part is moot, that is a property of linux. if canonical thought they could get away with it, they would have locked that down too.

    Oh wait, Mint *is* an Ubuntu-based distro.

    yeah, one that cares for and upholds the principles ubuntu was built upon.

    Fuck design. SGS5 will whip the collective ass of iphone, htc, xperia, lumia in terms of everything that matters (picture quality, screen quality, display quality, audio quality, connectivity, options, battery life, speed, useful features, power). The lack of design is a statement in itself. It says "Fuck you, you fucking wannabe nerds who really just want 'teh shinys'."

  7. Re: How many megapixels is enough? on Camera Module Problems May Delay Samsung's Galaxy S5 · · Score: 1

    Ironically Samsung phones are the most customizable, with a HUGE amount of options and things to tinker with. Nexus phones on the other hand don't let you unlock the bootloader even (without deleting all your data).

    I've never seen a camera on a phone that takes anywhere close to to as good pictures as a decent point and shoot digital camera.

    SGS4, lumia 1020, Nokia 808 would like a word.

    I really don't know. but I think I read in a lot of comments that these new Toyotas use a brake-by-wire system. even the start/stop button doesn't physically control anything, just another signal for the computer.

  12. Re: It's like this on Stack Overflow Could Explain Toyota Vehicles' Unintended Acceleration · · Score: 2

    I know that sometimes its difficult to admit that someone you know well may have made such a stupid mistake, but the probability of your father-in-law being confused/mistaken is a lot more than entire teams of engineers at the world's largest car manufacturer fucking up in such a dangerous manner.

    but the brake pedal is also just a switch. if the computer is malfunctioning, that can explain the lack of any brake application too.

  21. Re:Facebook IS different on Facebook Mocks 'Infection' Study, Predicts Princeton's Demise · · Score: 1

    the integration with everything is the key. right now, if i want to share anything interesting/useful on the web with a friend, or a group of friends, fb is the best way to do that. whether i am on my phone, my tablet, or my laptop, i can share stuff easily and quickly, and i can be sure that my friends get the message as soon as they glance at their phone, laptop, anything connected to the web. g+ does this, but fuck g+ because its just a copy.
    the only danger i see to this maybe from apps like whatsapp and viber, etc. they are better than facebook on the phone, and get the job done as efficiently, if not more. for pc, fb still remains king. fb could probably make a full-fledged phone messaging app that works as well as whatsapp, and doom whatsapp to oblivion. but i don't think anybody at fb realizes this.

    I have always hated the html5 player, it doesn't seek properly, doesn't respond as quickly to pause, play commands, and has far fewer options and features than the flash one. The only disadvantage with flash is that it doesn't work on iShit devices.
