  1. Re:Not really fair on How Today's Low-Power X86 & ARM CPUs Compare To Intel's Old NetBurst CPUs · · Score: 1

    No kidding. I remember Tualatin core Pentium IIIs being faster than the Willamette Pentium 4s of the day. I'd been rocking a 1.33GHz through part of high school and didn't have any problem keeping up with some of my friends' rigs.

  2. Grey market nonsense on Bell Media President Says Canadians Are 'Stealing' US Netflix Content · · Score: 1

    What the hell is this lady talking about? This is just grey-market stuff, as long as they're paying for it. I suppose it's a TOS violation. Having said that, This is the very thing I despise about the auto industry, but that's a story for a different time.

    Not everybody should be themselves. A lot of people suck.

    why the fuck do you need a gun to buy apples?

    Well, because after you shoot the guy, you get to ask "HOW ABOUT THEM APPLES!?"

    But, competition! And stifling innovation! Or something strangling something...

    I believe Bing returns tweets as well... three per search, if I'm not mistaken.

  7. Re:Old pieces of junk on 25 Percent of Cars Cause 90 Percent of Air Pollution · · Score: 1

    Don't worry. They won't need a well-maintained car or these "decent wages" you speak of once their jobs get automated.

  8. Useful on Woman Alerts Police of Hostage Situation Through Pizza Hut App · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wow, that field is more useful than I thought. All I ever did was ask them to draw a wizard on the box - they did.

  9. Microsoft Research is trying a thing on The Challenge of Getting a Usable QWERTY Keyboard Onto a Dime-sized Screen · · Score: 1

    Of all the commercial input systems I've used, Graffiti seems like it might be the most suited to such tiny surfaces.

    I do believe Microsoft Research is attempting to do something very Graffiti-like with Android wear. I don't know how useful it is.

  10. Interesting approach on Windows 10 Can Run Reworked Android and iOS Apps · · Score: 1

    I at least find the approach interesting. I wonder if this is going to go the same route they tried with browsers in Metro where they could talk to a back-end process (Win32 or otherwise).

  11. I'd wondered the same thing. What's this HL writer doing out of his cage?

  12. Re:Android, iOS, and Windows Atom on Crashing iPad App Grounds Dozens of American Airline Flights · · Score: 1

    It's not that far fetched. I mean, all the electronic systems have physical backups.

  13. Re:50 Hz vs 60 Hz on Japan Looks To Distributed Control Theory To Manage Energy Market Deregulation · · Score: 1

    I agree. Probably not, though. It's all Tokyo and Germany's fault.

  14. Re:Decent on Seattle CEO Cuts $1 Million Salary To $70K, Raises Employee Salaries · · Score: 1

    I don't see the problem with that. I understand where you're coming from, but if you had the power to simultaneously lower your earned income taxes and improve the lives of your employees, wouldn't you?

  15. Re:Mmmm delicious material design on Chrome OS Receives Extreme Makeover With Material Design and Google Now · · Score: 1

    We can't let that pesky "usability" thing get in the way of progress!

    I see haven't heard of Amazon Narc, Amazon Love, or Amazon Management.

  17. Re:Or... on Japan To Build 250-Mile-Long, Four Storey-High Wall To Stop Tsunamis · · Score: 2

    Sadly, Japan has none of that luxury. I mean, all the land is either an agricultural area, developed area, or mountain (which sometimes is also agricultural or developed. Then there's the whole volcanic island chain full of faults thing. Even if you put everything on the back side of the mountains, they get such heavy snowfall you'd have trouble keeping things running through the winter.

  18. I'm just being nit-picky, but I believe you should be asking about scientists, or the scientific community, not science itself.

    They've also got it available to corporate customers without a subscription if they have a select, select plus, or open license agreement.

    Look at this fool, trying to use wires and disks. Just IR blast it! It's the future!

  21. Re:Bugs in Win 7 UI on Users Decry New Icon Look In Windows 10 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Explorer always waits on lower-level file functions to gracefully complete before letting you interact with it. In your case, it's probably still in the "calculating" phase and will wait on that subtask to complete before it reverts everything. I commonly deal with servers with several million files (bad software). Its a pain in the neck when explorer waits on things. Don't get me started on loss of connectivity when explorer has a mapped drive. Sure you're just trying to go to "C:\," but explorer is too busy flopping around as if you've stabbed it in the back.

  22. Re:If you hate Change so much...... on Users Decry New Icon Look In Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    I agree. They've gone past the "flat design" that Microsoft popularized and transitioned to "the nicest icon a kid could make with MS Paint." I think it's time to give The Iconfactory a call again.

    I'd rather go back to having unpersonalized penis enhancement ads. They made me much more comfortable than the customized penis enlargement ads I get now. :(

  25. Re:"Not intentional". Right. on Samsung Smart TVs Injected Ads Into Streamed Video · · Score: 1

    Sony TVs are too dumb to do this. They have a great picture, though, and don't cost any more than comparable Samsung models. That may change next year, however, as they're going Android TV.
