    Google will be renamed Weyland-Yutani at some point anyways...

  5. Re:Software / Firmware on GPL'd Driver and Linux Support For New H.264 Capture Card · · Score: 2

    From the site: Update: June 7th, 2011 - Several important things to note, the BC-H series H.264 cards do not have at traditional firmware that is loaded. Everything is accessed directly from the driver / user space applications. Secondly, we report sales of each encoder to MPEGLA and pay any necessary patent fees for the sale of each encoder, meaning that any cards purchased from Bluecherry already have the patent protection from MPEGLA for the device level encoder.

  6. They flipped Finnish data upside down on Climatic Research Unit Hacked, Files Leaked · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There was a documentary about climate change hoax on Finnish YLE channel (it's like BBC of Finland) couple of weeks ago. It basically told that the climate data collected from Finland was turned upside down so that it would show warming instead of cooling etc. People who understand Finnish can check it out from Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gmJiZfyDPE People who don't understand Finnish can just check these few seconds where they show how they flipped Finnish data: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suySkDny-zk#t=7m00s

  7. Re:Cheapest on New XBMC Port Promises ARM-Powered HD In the Palm of Your Hand · · Score: 1

    I have never had dropped frames with my box. It has 4GB of memory and I'm using XBMC Live installed on a flash card so there aren't any extra processes wasting CPU time. It would be nice to hear if those who are experiencing dropped frames are using stock Ubuntu installs or XBMC Live installs.

  8. Re:Cheapest on New XBMC Port Promises ARM-Powered HD In the Palm of Your Hand · · Score: 5, Informative

    Anything with Nvidias ION board can handle high bitrate 1080p movies without dropped frames. Here is a link to the board I used for my XBMC http://pden.zotac.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=169&category_id=15&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

    My firewall currently runs M0n0wall on ALIX board and it has worked perfectly for me. This is the board I used: http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2c3.htm

  10. Re:Unconstitutional on EU Paves the Way For Three-Strikes Cut-Off Policy · · Score: 1

    The problem is access to the Internet is not any of elementary human rights or constitution-granted freedoms.

    In Finland it is. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/10/15/finland.internet.rights/index.html

  11. Re:Who is really hurt by such services? on Students Settle With TurnItIn In Copyright Case · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "Ok, just file a complaint. I'm sure that semi-literate guy did something wrong enough to slap them down."

    I love how the Americans think that suing everybody is the best solution for every problem.

  12. Re:I guess I should prepare for extinction then on Standalone GPS Receivers Going the Way of the Dodo · · Score: 1

    I think my Nokia E71 uses the GSM network or something to acquire the lock in a few seconds. Nokias navigation application sucks but the GPS implementation is really good in my opinion.

  13. Wind Could NOT Provide 100% of World Energy Needs on Wind Could Provide 100% of World Energy Needs · · Score: 4, Informative

    It just couldn't simply because there isn't wind all the time and we don't have any realistic way to store energy for calm days. Wind could be useful as a part of the energy production but with current technology there is no way wind could be used as the only energy source.

  14. Re:IPv6? on New Exploit Uses JavaScript To Compromise Intranets, VPNs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would think so. It seems like everyone is using either 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.1.0/24 subnets and once in a while somebody has set up 10.0.0.0/24 subnet so your internal addresses wouldn't be that hard to guess. With IPv6 we could forget all this NAT crap and use "real" IP addresses.

  15. Re:"convert regular 2D movies to 3D" on Acer To Launch 3D Notebook In October? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Exactly. These "3D" systems have been coming for decades and in the end they have been total crap. I believe when I see one with my own eyes.

    No thanks. I would expect at least 10 hours of battery life from a netbook running an ARM processor.
