  7. Re:Much to do about nothing on The Case For Piracy · · Score: 1

    as a college student i totally agree most of todays music is crap. i think the world could be greatly improved by the killing of beber and his ilk. Television much of it has been dumbed down to the point of unwatchablity in many cases and movies aren't an better. if we went back to the original copyright length (US) of 23 years i could probably get by just fine although i would mis a couple of shows (mostly scifi). and as for books much of what i read is older any way, Asimov, Tolkien, Shakespeare, etc. bring on short copyright. also copyright needs to adjust to the medium, think of commander keen whole generations of people will lose out on this awesome side scroller because it is know longer distributed and who has a floppy drive in their computer anymore? copyright needs to change fundamentaly. 10 years for computer media, games, os', other software, seems reasonable to me.

  8. Re:U235 coin on Value of Bitcoin "Crashes" · · Score: 1

    do you carry gold in your pocket? no. and you can carry it in your pocket in a unrefined state, i have a friend who bought a few chunks or unrefined uranium, and some that has been refined (but not enriched) and and suspend in in glass and made into marbles, i have some thorium sitting on a shelf in my room, both uranium and thorium can be used for nuclear fuel (thorium was considered for use as fuel but plutonium puts out more energy and was cheaper to produce, and was chosen even though thorium is safer) uranium as long as it is not enriched is fairly safe to handle despite common belief.

  9. U235 coin on Value of Bitcoin "Crashes" · · Score: 1

    well then why don't we use uranium 235 as a base metal for currency, it is highly valuable, there is less of it than gold, and the worlds supply is limited and it will shrink at predictably, due to its consumption for fuel and natural breakdown, thus leading to the currency becoming ever more valuable. it ought to last us a couple of hundred years at least until space-mining becomes the norm but by then are consumption will have gone up to a match the demand. so it could conceivably last until interstellar travel is normalized. we could make also trade in other nuclear fuels he3 or plutonium 239

    instead of using a distributed dsn service of questionable reliability why not just install bind9 on your computer and it will be its own dsn server. anyone with Linux or a mac could do this and as for windows users they could run say damn small Linux or another tiny Linux variant in a vm with bind9 dsn server installed on it. and route your dsn requests to it?

  15. You anti-anti-MS tards make us anti-MS group laugh on Microsoft Finalizes Skype Acquisition · · Score: 2

    firstly Linux is more secure than m$. the kernal.org attack was not a linux problem it was someones stolen/broken password, a attack that will work on any system. as for Linux on android that is another story entirely. it is left wide open by the phone manufacturers because they are stupid and afraid it might make people be intimidated of there phones if they made them secure and required root permission to install software, besides it is the Java and JavaScript that is where all the user level stuff that gets hacked is anyway, by they way that is the most insecure part of any computer especially on ms is the Java/JavaScript. besides no matter how secure you make a phone or computer it can still be effed up by a moron happy clicking install on any random app that says free on the Internet. lets compare windows to Linux for security purposes shall we, permissions windows; laughable your average highschooler can circumvent them within 10 minutes god knows i did in highschool. Linux; very customizable lockable permissions. RWE, if you have a 0 on r you can't even know a file exists period. UNIX permissions are a far as system security the last word out side of sandboxed vertualized unix os's on another unix. Linux malaware; total major viruses worms and trogens 43 listed on wikipedia, and all of them are dead because the exploits they used have been patched windows malware; total major viruses worms and trogens to many to count, semantic said in 2008 that there were over a million+ and growing exponentially even if you account for the number of users it is still vastly out of proportion against windows. also while there are less Linux computers they a generally more valuable, beacuse they are used in places like banking stock exchanges, governments secure servers, etc. thus making them higher value targets. pardon my french but why don't you pull your head out of your Ballmer and gets some fresh air.

    the idea that desktop computing is dead and that we are in a post pc world makes me giggle, just where do people think the programs are going to be made for there phones and tablets i would like to see some one try writing even a small program on iphone. writing, compiling (which can take a long time eve on a descent desktop, would be unimaginable) and debugged on such a form factor would be ridiculousness. and there are thousands uses for a pc that would be horrible on a tablet, all office work for starters, hard core gaming (pc gaming is infinitely better than console gaming, and tablet is worse yet. no no no. ) tablets are for notes, chat, reading, tv, and amusing flash games. desktops sales are not by the way dropping they are simply not growing as much as they were. tablet and smart phones are selling like pancakes because until the last few years no one had a affordable smart phone. it will level out soon. people try to draw an analogy between the mainframe and the desktop, that argument is fundamentally flawed, because mainframes were never a device aimed at individual use. and the day of the mainframe never ended it just specialized, we now call them servers, privet clouds, etc, and there are more mainframes sold now than ever before, they are not the growth market any more.

    firstly they so should have named Watson Multivac. Secondly as for the idea that we will someday no longer need programming languages and to simply state what we want and it magically write compile debug and give you exactly what you want not likely. first of all computers are very dumb they are like idiot savants what they do they do very well and very quickly, but they are still stupid and need to to given very explicit instructions, they have a bad habit of doing exactly what you tell them and not what you want. If you do not cover every possible contingency they have a habit of exploding and sometime letting out the magic smoke. self writing programs will blow up. bugs will only self perpetuate if people spend less time paying attention to the code, remember linus law? it also works backward less eyes deeper bugs.
