  1. Re:He's Hungarian and his last name is Magyar? on How One Photographer Is Hacking the Concept of Time · · Score: 4, Informative

    Magyar, in Hungarian, can be used as a noun or an adjective. It translates to "Hungarian person" or "Hungarian" respectively.

    Hungary in Hungarian is Magyarország (which translates to "Hungarian country" word by word).

    Let's say facebook has 1b active users. Let's say they have a revenue of $6b. Let's say from the $6 per user revenue, they kick $1 back to each user per year.

    Yeah, still no thank you.

  6. Looking for funding? For what? on Australian Team Working On Engines Without Piston Rings · · Score: 3, Informative

    Looking for funding without a physical proof of concept?

    How much would it cost to create a prototype? Get a used lawnmower engine, find a piston from a slightly larger used lawnmower engine (up to here you spent about $50), then turn some grooves in there and see how it purrs.

    What are we talking about? a couple hundred bucks?

    It would cost way less to try this in real life than all the computer simulations. Something smells fishy.

    A 'virtual model' equates to 'proof-of-concept'? Since when?

    This is an interesting question, I'd also love to hear what the US Patent Office has to say about it.

    the BB10 line of phone is the worst "innovation" in mobile technology, maybe of all time

    You're a moron, shouting your idiotic opinion, based on some BS articles you read on the internet.

    You know what's the worst "innovation" in mobile technology? The keyboard on iOS 7. Where the keys don't change when you are typing caps vs lower case.

    So what.

    Huh. Pretty funny. If it was Apple suing, you'd be all supportive. I mean look at that phone, it has a touch screen, charges over USB and has a backdoor for the NSA. Those are obviously Apple original only features, magically invented by Apple, doesn't even matter if it's patented. Apple wins, case dismissed.

  12. Re:Why? on BlackBerry Sues iPhone Keyboard Maker Typo · · Score: 1

    No way you used a blackberry keyboard. I have fat fingers and can type many times faster on the blackberry keyboard than on any other smartphone keyboard, be that physical or touch screen. _The_ best thing about blackberries is the keyboard. Although I have to say the new blackberry OS is pretty good, too. Shame it's too late.

  17. emacs on bzr? on Emacs Needs To Move To GitHub, Says ESR · · Score: 1

    It's baffling that such a large project would use bzr as source control. Bzr doesn't have branching. Before you yell at me, I know, there is a command to create a "branch", but it is essentially a copy of the whole repo. Unusable for any project larger than a couple files. I would not be one bit surprised if it in fact was dying.

    This is the result of picking a tool based on "what's trending this hour", "their website looks better", "look, they have an ipad app", "the ceo's son uses this" etc..

    Happens way too often. Instead of doing some research. Sleep in the bed you made.

    This is not a home computer to tinker on. Whoever has the application and $$$ for it, will not buy equipment like this without extended warranty and most likely on site service.

  24. Re:Why do power users not need a compact system? on Apple's New Mac Pro Gets High Repairability Score · · Score: 1

    Wow. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

    First, you need to show some numbers proving that "people are.. moving spaces more often than they used to". Nowadays it's much easier to work from one location and connect through the internet. Saves cost and time wasted on moving around.

    Do you even know what an editor does? Because if you did, you would have a better idea of what equipment an editor uses. Like a couple huge ass monitors. Studio speakers. Mixers. For more important things, in a sound insulated room bay and a color correct environment. Lots of mirrored and networked storage.

    No, editors don't run around with their mac pros and all that shit attached to it. If they need to do something on location, they bring their laptops, or they bring them a van with editing equipment in it.

    Let's also stop pretending that there is this huge population of editors, or that a huge percentage of editing jobs require a machine of this caliber.
