  1. Re:Reality of All Billionaires on The Winklevoss Twins Are Now Bitcoin Billionaires (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Bezos doesn't have any issues selling a Billion or so of amazon stock each year. He does that with regularity to finance Blue Origin.

  2. Re:And then Google says... on Google Fires Author of Divisive Memo On Gender Differences (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess hangouts wasn't an option.

  3. The telling quote "He said, 'If there are any news reporters that call you, just make sure you tell them I'm not running for president.'" Which is obvious doublespeak for what he is doing. Someone needs to get the AI chatbot lawyer to run

  4. Call it what it is, Stolen on Wikileaks Publishes Hacked Sony Emails, Documents · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Trafficking in stolen goods is what they are doing. just because it was leaked/hacked doesn't change the fact that a theft occured.

  5. Re:Why is Android allowing Uber to access the info on Uber's Android App Caught Reporting Data Back Without Permission · · Score: 1

    Sorry but they don't have a Taxi service. Taxi's are licenced and regulated by municipal authorities which means among other things that rates are regulated and such niceties as insurance is sorted out. Your literally rolling the dice with Uber.

  6. and speed was never the point of dropbox on BitTorrent Performance Test: Sync Is Faster Than Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In my mind speed and saturation of bandwidth is NOT what I want on a folder syncing service. Sync it up in the background for me.

    Not wanting to argue against the success of Ms. Rowling, but it would appear that the rare find in this instance is the individual at Bloomsbury that felt the author had an interesting story and was willing to go against the grain and take a chance.

  9. Re:100G in one year? on Best Way To Store Digital Video For 20 Years? · · Score: 1

    What you really need to do is cull those suckers out. Sure its nice to keep all the raw footage but do you have any gems in there? Special moments? Pictures that turned out like the bees knees? Those are the ones that you want to have easily accessible. Come up with some arbitrary standards and stick to them. Us old timers will remember when a roll of film had 36 exposures and not all of those 36 were keepers. You don't want to be "that guy" 30 years from now pulling out terabytes of drives and spindles of discs of the day looking for that one picture to show the grand kids. Keep the raw for the archivist's but make that highlight reel as you go along and you and your family will thank you later on. Annotate the output and your memory will thank you as well.

    The good news about the albertsons cards is you didnt have to provide any information at all not even made up information to recieve the cards.

    Thats not to say that they couldn't cross reference it with creidt or debit crds if they really wanted to, but the stupid card itself required no information.

  13. Re:Advice for corporate users on McAfee Anti-Virus Causes Widespread File Damage · · Score: 1

    So all your users are using dat files that are several days old? This just means that they have 3 extra days of vulnerability.

  14. Don't make me register just to read the news on A Recipe for Newspaper Survival in the Internet Age · · Score: 1

    Requiring me to register to read the news on any website almost gaurantees with certanty that I will not actively return to your website. Require registration for active participation such as posting comments. but just to read, now way. Every time I try to read an article that requires me to register, I use a throwaway nonsense registration that will not be used more than once. I won't remember which editor's name I choose for my screen name and what explitive I choose for my password the next time I come back.

    I dont know about desperate housewives but lost went on hiatus, ie lame repeats in the US for a bout a three week stretch. Most likely this has to do with programming airiind during "sweeps" when advertising dollars are determined.

  19. Re:Can you.. on EFF Reviews HDTV PVR Solution for Mac · · Score: 1

    My questions were in response to a specific post which evidently my post didn't get nested under. So it appears I am a looney idiot, which I assure you I am not, most of the time. The post I tried to reply to indicated a comcast solution was more cost effective and although it is I was trying to point out, too subtely evidently, some of the things his comcast box couldnt do that this solution would allow. And yes 1 and 2 are related, If you cant do 1 you cant do 2.

    How can you even begin to be a viable choice if you don't have candidates across the board in a majority of electorial races. Even if your positions are fantastic on the issues without at least a glimmer of support from the congress you are dead in the water.
