  1. why anything Microsoft on Microsoft Readies a Rival To Spotify · · Score: 2, Insightful

    why anything Microsoft fails is because they too strongly believe in DRM. the entire iTunes store for example is now completely DRM free, and all the market leaders right now are so DRM free. rental services have died a horrible death because DVD/CD media has become affordable enough not to pirate them (as in costing more time to download, then the money it costs to buy).. i put into account my minimum wage is at least 6euro's, put that over the time it costs to download 3 to 8 hours it's too expensive after about 2 hours. the same goes for subscription movies, it's a fucking waste of my money as its cheaper time wise to just get the dvd..

    it is the ISS not NSS. international space station is run by everyone not just Nasa, they have very little to say about what happens with the ISS.

    fast food industry is really not to blame again? with their illegal workers and 3$ an hour jobs? how strange people come work when their sick.... nobody here, wonders why America is the ONLY capitalist country in the world without even basic health care for all..

  7. illegal immigrants fast food. on Swine Flu Kills Obese People Disproportionately · · Score: 1

    i was never sick when i was fat and i'm never sick when i am thin, i think there are more things than just being fat. like illegal immigrants working in the fast food industry in America... and of course poor hygiene control and wages which are too low, a isn't it nice to be a fatty in America?

    moving to my point: the chances are 1 in a billion.. meaning, not a risks.

  11. Wapi is secure. on Apple To Sell Wi-Fi-less iPhone In China · · Score: 0

    Wapi is as secure as WiFi. and thus it also has all the same flaws as WiFi security wise. but i doubt they engineered a backdoor, as it's also used by the government and any backdoor they can access others can also access. they probably have some crazy security algorithm they rather keep secret.

  12. Re:they were running off someone else's computer on Beware the Airport Wireless · · Score: 1, Interesting

    only problem is, that u have to be an uber-dork to exploit them... meaning extensive programming knowledge which i doubt any aviation worker has.. so it's a false warning really, as nobody is truly going to attack a single laptop on an airport (your not gonna do online-banking on a public connection, unless your an idiot...)

  16. Re:skill? on The Dilemma of Level vs. Skill In MMOs · · Score: 0

    there was one article here that talked about people who always win, but they always win simply because they follow the rules. so even if you gain a technique, it's still upto the games code to decide if your statistical information is the deciding factor if your gonna win or not. that's the real problem with mmo's it is that it's over-programmed, there is almost no chance. i personally don't like mmo's because there is no room for human failure, we all make mistakes but these games don't want people to fail.

  17. you need on VLC 1.0.0 Released · · Score: 0

    because you need to change the video rendering in settings. change it directX 3D or OpenGL. it has nothing to do with vlc, just with the systems default settings.

    it's more about gaining levels, skill has nothing to do with it. it's a game.
