  1. Re:OK, I'll Bite on Ask Slashdot: Protecting Data From a Carrington Event? · · Score: 1, Informative

    Kactus Games. I really doubt the world would care if the source code to his not even released game was lost.

    This just in: timothy informs us that using platform-specific APIs ties you to that platform. Apparently timothy is playing Captain Obvious today.

    Except the phrase "smartphone" was orignally used in 2000 in marketing material by Ericcson to describe the R380. N95 was from 2007 which was long after smartphone became common vernacular.

    Curiosity has a high resolution color camera on it.

  6. Re:Really?!! Shocking!! on Use Google's Nexus 7 Tablet As a VoIP Phone, For Free · · Score: 0

    What was unintuitive about searching for a VOIP app in the Google Play store then installing it on your Nexus 7? This is a how to that seems to be written for the retards of digg or reddit not on a site filled with supposed techies.

  7. Re:Can't find book explicitly without DRM = pirate on New DRM-Free Label Announced · · Score: 1

    The only message you send is one saying that they need more effective DRM. The way you get them to stop using DRM isn't to go "They aren't giving it to me how I want so I'm just gonna take it anyway!!!".

  8. Re:DRM-free Should be the DEFAULT on New DRM-Free Label Announced · · Score: 1

    Why do people not return books more as soon as they run into an unadvertised DRM problem?

    Because most people don't run into problems? The vast majority of people only ever read their ebooks on the exact device the ebook was made for.

  9. Re:Labels have DRM on New DRM-Free Label Announced · · Score: 1

    Music hasn't had DRM on it for years now from either iTunes or Amazon. Maybe you need to buy your music from less shitty sellers?

    Non sequitur much? What relevance does that have to this case or what the person above said?

  11. Re:And yet on Samsung: Apple Stole the iPad's Design From Univ of Missouri Professor · · Score: 1

    Since Apple still reaps more than 75% of all profits from global mobile sales, they probably couldn't care less about a bunch of Android OEMs who can barely scrape by with a profit. Samsung being the only real exception.

    Masturbation is also against their religion.

    Of course not. They'd be up in arms if someone tried to block such things. No one ever claimed these assholes weren't hypocrites.

    People have objected to what the Saudi government has done for years. Besides, being butthurt over some crappy chicken sandwich place is quite amusing.

  16. Re:I wonder how many fools.. on Adobe Officially Kills New Flash Installations On Android · · Score: 1

    Yes, I do, but since his complaint was over H.264 he was clearly referring to the video side of Flash. Maybe actually read all of a post before trying to do a 'gotcha!' response?

  17. Re:I wonder how many fools.. on Adobe Officially Kills New Flash Installations On Android · · Score: 1

    I didn't say we did. I only said why people still use it.

  18. Re:Vector animation on Adobe Officially Kills New Flash Installations On Android · · Score: 1

    Because it had no relevance to the the point I was disputing which was the whining about getting rid of Flash because then everyone will use H.264 is stupid since Flash uses H.264. Nothing is really changing.

  19. And your evidence that it couldn't be done is what exactly? Just because you say so is not evidence.

  20. Re:Translation on Samsung: Apple Stole the iPad's Design From Univ of Missouri Professor · · Score: 2

    Yes, but invalidating the patents is more to their benefit.

  21. Re:I wonder how many fools.. on Adobe Officially Kills New Flash Installations On Android · · Score: 1

    You seem to be arguing against a point I never tried to make. But for content providers the video streaming framework is still more mature than for HTML5 video. That is why people still use it. My point was only about addressing the complaint of getting rid of Flash meant it was being replaced by H.264, but this is silly since Flash video IS H.264 in almost every case nowadays.

  22. Re:Vector animation on Adobe Officially Kills New Flash Installations On Android · · Score: 1

    Yes, which is why I said 'no one uses Sorenson for Flash video anymore' since I do know what it used previously. He was complaining saying getting rid of Flash means replacing it with H.264 but Flash videos ARE h.264 and have been overwhelmingly since around 2008.

    Actually most Android phones are schlock with low res screens and running ancient Android versions.

  24. Re:Good riddance. on Adobe Officially Kills New Flash Installations On Android · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Adobe cared about selling the Flash creation tools not the Flash platform itself. They'll just change the tools to export HTML5.

  25. Re:I wonder how many fools.. on Adobe Officially Kills New Flash Installations On Android · · Score: 5, Informative

    You do realize that Flash videos are just H.264 in MP4, right? It's been this way for years. Almost no one uses Sorenson for Flash video anymore.
