  1. Re:Interested on Repo Man Director Alex Cox Plans To Edit Next Film With OpenShot · · Score: 1

    It would take a lot of editing to get digital footage to look like it was shot on 35mm and it still wouldn't look as good as going from 35mm -> digital.

    It's not self control he's looking for, it's the "look" of 35mm film he wants.

  2. The End. on Windows 8 Won't Play DVDs Unless You Pay For the Media Center Pack · · Score: 1

    The Linux community needs to consolidate and get a marketing department. Microsoft is really dropping the ball dumbing down each new version of Windows to never-touched-a-computer- before levels. I don't want Win8. Win7 was bad enough. If the Linux people could step up and put out a really good release and get the laptop manufacturers to back it they could really step up in this era. Most users are simple and just want to click on an icon and have whatever come up on the screen. Linux could excel in this while having less malware than Win and less cost than Apple. Linux is way better tech an OSX, it's time to put Apple to shame for being the cheesy media whores they are by producing something better, cheaper and ugh "friendlier". I don't mind editing a text file to change my settings,but most regular people are really confused by that sort of thing. Makes me fear for the future of humanity.

  3. Re:hmm on 15-Year-Old Arrested For Hacking 259 Companies · · Score: 1

    Most 15 year olds are too lazy to even run a script if they can't do it with a console controller. The new crop of teens doesn't know anything about computers because they came up on Windows and Mac systems. When I was a teener hacking was pretty cool and got you respect on the BBS scene. These days kids just aren't into that sort of thing. I gotta give this kid props for even trying, even if he was a script kiddie. He knows a lot more than the rest of his school probably.

  5. Re:What it really means: on Apple: Greenpeace's Cloud Critique Driven By Bogus Numbers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Since when has Apple ever revealed actual numbers? Sure Greenpeace are a bunch of sensationalist hippies, but so is Apple.

    AFAIK they still publish 2600. I bought one not too long ago.

  8. Re:Hmmm on Army DNS ROOT Server Down For 18+ Hours · · Score: 1

    Not really, there is some redundancy in the system. But 7.5% of the DNS system was down. We should definitely increase the number of people who control the DNS system. Preferably all over the world. Heck, let's give Iran a couple too and be fair.

    HP is shit. Don't ever buy from them. More people need to know this.

  10. Re:No Thanks on Budapest Panorama, at 70GP, Now the World's Largest Digital Photo · · Score: 1

    That's the same as people NOT doing things because it's the IN thing. It's no better morally than just doing the IN thing and going with the crowd. I'd check it out if I had silverlight. I like to keep crap out of my install so I avoid things like Silverlight and Quicktime and Realplayer and whatnot... (Is Real still even around?) Most of the content of the shitty, ugly formats are available in other formats. Eventually there's a divx version of everything.

  11. Why do we still have Apple? on Gizmodo Not Welcome at 2010 WWDC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wish Apple would just disappear. They've been guilty of pretentious douchebaggery since I had my C64 and they were claiming that the Apple 2 was better.

  12. Nothing better to do. on Australian Police To Investigate Google Over Wi-Fi Scanning · · Score: 0, Troll

    Australian cops have obviously solved all the real crimes... No body gets raped or robbed there anymore. and now they need to police the "virtual" criminals.

  16. Stats? Fuck that. on Why Programmers Need To Learn Statistics · · Score: 2, Informative

    Statstics is WAY beyond what a programmer cares about. Logic is all that matters. Statistics->logic is the problem of the software engineer, not the programmer.

    I walk around with my headphones on anyway, so I don't hear street noise anyway. All the crosswalks here make coocoo and chirp chirp sounds for the blind people. Really annoying.

  19. I'll stay here. on Homeland Security To Scan Citizens Exiting US · · Score: 1, Insightful

    another reason why i'll never cross the border from canada again. canada is a pretty harsh police state, but not nearly as bad as the usa (or britain, it's 1984 there from now on) I used to go down to Bellingham, WA for cheap goods, but I don't think I'm welcome there anymore. I always feel like I'm in danger when I cross the border, like some crackhead is going to shoot me with a handgun. Plus they'd send me to jail for all the BC Bud I smoke heh ;) Nobody I know could take their car across the border without it getting seized.

    My Toshiba Gigabeat was like a Zune but cool and (once I got Rockbox on it) smart. Gameboy games on MP3 players! The screen suffered an unfortunate accident though. At least I have a tiny 20gig hard drive now!
