I just picked the first link in my search results. If you had bothered to look at the data you'd have seen the research is solid and peer reviewed. As someone who has greatly benefited from this research I'll take my own results over your snark.
I just happened to see this today and while it's a long read it does a great job of explaining a hard to explain concept (crypto assets and decentralized applications). I thought I understood crypto currencies but after reading this I see a much bigger picture and why I should care.
Unfortunately, Firefox is getting neutered with the release of version 57.
You don't have to give up add-ons just because Firefox is. I've been using Waterfox for years. It uses the current Firefox code but doesn't disable add-ons and it strips out all the tracking Mozilla puts in. The guy who maintains it started it as a 64 bit version of Firefox before Mozilla released one. I liked it so much I never switched back even when Mozilla released a 64 bit Firefox. He recently released an Android port and I even replaced Chrome on my device with it.
My first tech job was working for an AC Delco re-manufacturing company. General Motors had a joint venture with Isuzu sharing resources on different models. The Electronic Control Modules (ECM) for those models had dummy circuitry that didn't do ANYTHING because GM was worried about Isuzu reverse engineering a couple of pulse modulating circuits for a fuel injector. To play up the deception if one of these circuits failed they enabled the Check Engine light. I spent an inordinate amount of time repairing dummy circuits on those devices.
When I heard about farmers whose tractors (John Deere) stopped working because they repaired it with a non-OEM part and the tractors telematics shut down because it didn't recognize the new part (non-electronic part BTW). I knew a shit-storm was coming. Then when I saw how John Deere responded to the outcry I knew it would be a protracted battle to get companies to do the right thing.
And Motorola should have called IBM, OQO, Asus, etc. Until the iPhone took off nobody thought a full color phone with less than a days worth of battery and data heavy would sell. BlackBerry was blindsided because their entire ecosystem was built around low bandwidth and long battery life. This model keeps coming up because it's a good idea and all it will take is for enough people to switch to reach a tipping point. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
A couple of years ago I got a cheap (~$200) 10" Windows tablet. It came with 8.1 but I was able to upgrade to Windows 10. It's not fast and it can't multitask worth a damn with only 2GB RAM but it blows any Android/Chromebook/iPad out of the water for actually doing what I need to get done. The fact Apple crippled the iPad Pro with iOS instead of a touch friendly MacOS boggles the mind. The only time I pull out my Android tablet these days is to play a game. Unless you ave a specific use case where Android works a full OS device is still a better choice.
Actually our entire infrastructure has moved to ICE Chat/IM. But that made the most sense since all our trades go through ICE.Thus the chicken/egg debate rages on
About the only people still using AIM are commodities traders. You heard that right. There are thousands of traders right now sending frantically typed emails to their IT department demanding they continue to support AIM. How do I know? I've gotten a few hundred of them. They don't care that the service is shutting down because they don't understand how these chat programs work. They just know that they broker million dollar deals over this free chat system. AOL lost the ability to monetize the system once third parties clients, which didn't display the ads AIM did, came out. I suspect, but have no evidence, some of the trading exchanges eventually started paying AOL to keep the service going since so many of their customers rely on it. There's been talk for years of moving to something else but the chicken and egg syndrome is a hard egg to crack. To switch, so do all of your contacts. That would require the industry and all the companies in it to switch simultaneously. When was the last time you saw any big company do anything swiftly and simultaneously with not one but thousands of other companies?
The Channel Master DVR+ is a great device. They make quality products. But this thread was about mobile or stream viewing and the Channel Master does not have that capability. It only connects to one TV via an HDMI connection. If you wanted to hawk a similar device to the Tablo you should have chosen the SiliconDust HD HomeRun. Although that requires a separate DVR device or service.

That may not be entirely accurate.

If I am that 1 I will be 100,000 times louder than the 99,000 others.
Actually more wars are fought over pride and women than greed. That's not to say the greedy don't take advantage of the situation.
I just modded it as 'overrated' for you. Does this prove my IQ > 80?
And then commented logged in...I'd say no, no it does not.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Either that, or you are typing with an Asian accent.
Right! Nobody should even try to repair a transmission as it is "tiny, complex, and non-modular".

Have they actually done anything wrong?
If they signed a contract using a false identity then probably. Beyond that I don't know. If NewYorkCountryLawyer were here perhaps he would.

If you truly believe this are you using ClamAV?
I use the crashme program to generate random code. Then I run it through Google translate and self publish on Amazon. Not a bad way to make a living.

It sounds like they need training on cleaning out the dust. There's a special training program at Fort Bliss for that!
So you are saying you prefer cryptocurrency.
Unless you're actually making money with it,
You could be mining cryptocurrency. As long as the amount you mine is more than your electric bill...WIN
real money.
OH, you mean like the slips of paper that some government has given an arbitrary value that we just trust?
Professionals do not scream at other people and use profanity, let alone to their bosses.
You sure about that? I suspect Bobby Knight would disagree

Or you could just get a Tablo and pay a one time fee (There's a separate charge if you want the 14 day channel guide).
