US Attorney trying to get hired for some stupid show on MSNBC (or any of the crap channels).............. Great way to spend tax money!!!!! Intel knew they were in the wrong, or they felt the US Attorney could prolong this for years, this is often what the US Attorney offices does.. No proof of anything but that will not stop us. LOL
Apple could and should create its own supplier the fact that they do not, and the fact they use cheap labor to make a profit, if you add to the fact they knew about how the Chinese Government and there I do not give a fuck attitude towards labor jobs, how can anyone support the fact they are still there. They used PR to act like they care. I understand a lot of it is media hype but you cannot ignore the statements Apple has made using labor outside of the US to propel itself into a communist monopoly...
Steve Jobs was an ass, I still cannot believe how everyone bows to there knees over this guy????? Apple was a monopoly long before it was popular, and continues to be.. These companies are the disintegration of the patent system..... IE Hey I got an idea for a text form patent that about 15 other companies have physically created.. Yes the companies are not to bright for not patenting it before, but Apple is sucking the dicks of government officials through out the world to get a patent before the companies that created the technology can. If you know of the Patent System it takes years to get an approved Patent. Apple seems to get one for shitting in there hand and then plating it gold. (not very original and has been thought of by numerous people, those same people even tried to patent such an idea) but somehow only Apple got a patent.. Sorry for the overkill view of this company, but there are jokers!!! They knew what they were doing and the contracting companies they got involved with but did it anyway "business as usual"..... Just admit to it, and show your the WORM in the Apple....
They use idiot computers to (predict) this stuff, are you kidding me? When Science stops using computers to analyze everything then we may get some where..
They use this for car crashes, shit a whole host of stupid stuff, you cannot CANNOT use a program to simulate reality, a computer does not understand and it appears neither do this idiot scientists (with all there brain or lack of brain power) there are factors within REALITY that are not seen nor understood that make a computer prediction laughable. I am getting tried of this shit!!! There is no doubt the ice is melting it as been since biblical times, even long before that. It is part of reality and the cycle of the planet..
What part does man play in this?? Have we promoted this cycle even faster? These are questions no scientist has answered ? It would a little arrogant to think we the human race have not helped this cycle further along. Instead of coming out with data over the obvious, why not use that brain power to come up with a solution? But I guess that is beyond the scientists who spend day and night with there head up there ass trying to predict something that is far beyond themselves......... BY the way!!!!!!!! Can someone tell me why I cannot separate paragraphs while logged into my account? I can do it without logging in Anonymously ?????????
Nice tip but if you are an idiot and use a dumb password like 12345 you should not only be hacked but kidnapped and tortured!! Internet 101 never use your name, birth date, address, child's name bla bla... Always use random numbers and small cap + Large cap letters for "secure" (nothing is secure on the internet tho) passwords. This news article is funny how big of ass can you be?? I want to be the exec of a business now if this is all it takes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually wanting to learn something maybe a new concept!! Key word ----------WANT--------------
What did the teacher tell me about again?? I was to busy napping or not giving a shit......
What else can you waste money and time on?? I get what they are trying to do, but come on. I guess all the time and money spent on neuroscientists educations have to result in something..
I like the sarcasm, and the actual story quotes, but Alan is an idiot..
If he wants to come up with things to whine about, one thing that was often bitched over was how bands and producers would capture a live sound in the studio something he had done. Two, would be how he used FAKE or synthetic effects to capture an overall vibe, or emotion (I not opposed to this, I have used stomp boxes or effects for overall sound). And to be Captain Obvious here YouTube gets away with it because the sound is of shitty quality, and a majority of the "albums" have long surpassed there hoop rah (money making sales), HELLO ALAN welcome to earth......
Pink Floyd was not the only band with that sound at that time, but they made it commercial. Alan makes me laugh, he seems to think because he was a producer with bands that had success before he came along somehow he is a genius.... But good for him he should use his fame to complain over stupid shit.. And Shame on the author of this story for taking Alan's words into another dimension no where close to reality..
Yeah the voting thing seems to work well. You keep voting the same idiots into office and you'll get the same old. Demonstrating works to an extent but once people feel they have done something they let there guard down bills get passed, (like others have said it gets reborn into some other newly named bill or it gets dropped until the heat dies down) and the demonstrations were a waste of time.. People of been up in arms over the financial situation allowing banks and other companies to dictate, and it has been the same business as usual. I read comments about younger politicians but they are as clueless as the old farts, the younger ones grew up around the internet and other technology but they probably have no clue what is going on, all they have to do is study or hire technology aides explaining to them what the internet is and why these bills are bad but they refuse to do this. Lobbyists buy off who ever they want, or they could try and destroy that politicians career because he/she did not want to play the game.. Washington Politicians are hand puppets, they do not run anything, they get paid off, or do what they are told.
PIPA Democrat --- SOPA--- Republican, no difference, (maybe slight difference in wording of the bills) I guess they find this to be a good way to waste money and time. I understand the copyright issue, with the film, software, and music industries. But for other companies like automobile makers, medical/prescription companies to support this is funny, and disturbing. I have read some comments over these bills and some say it is nothing to worry about it only effects out of country web sites, and that is understandable. But they could block web sites that sell goods, so I go to pay (PAY) for something I am not allowed to purchase it outside the US? Just asking and curious if this bill would effect web sites that sell goods? Ebay and others I seem to have concerns over this!! So I cannot buy drugs outside the US (already blocked from Canada) or anything else unless I buy it here in the US? If IF this is the case is it not up to the consumer to choose or make a decision on buying something, there are suckers, but there are those who research if buying XXXXX is worth it. Is it also not on the companies like NIKE to watch, or other watch groups to report when a web sites is selling knock off shoes, or clothing? The other thing I would wonder, is if a US based web site had comments, blogs, or content from outside countries the US based site could be blocked, I am not talking Search engines, Ads links, redirects or links to other web sites, ect..
Humans/Voters can be manipulated as well. They can try to fix it by choosing which regional districts they want to vote, I have heard and seen voting booths in certain districts closed down from "voters fighting", only to hear that the incumbent paid a groups of thugs to start the fights, of course he would have lost the vote in those districts. Never understood the chad method or why you would use something that sloppy, other then the obvious.. You can try to make it fair and balanced but there always seems to be someway to manipulate it in someones favor.
Simply method for older cars, I had a hidden switch to cut the ignition system off, you can do this to 90's cars even some cars today, you could also attach a switch to the starter instead of the ignition. They go to start the car and get no starter motor or they cannot get it to fire over. Depending on how fast they want to steal the car or the time the fell they have. They will move on to another car, or figure you have a cut off switch and try to find it. Cannot tell you where I hid my switch but I found my car broken into and the ignition switch (or steering column) busted a few times.
You have so much R&D from companies that they may unknowingly have created the same software/hardware, or they are similar. Is there a way to track pending patents? I have been on the patents site before, but I cannot remember if pending patents also came up in searches with approved patents. Then the obvious the lawyers who can find loop holes or twist there case to win for there clients, or pay off the right people, or the judge figures that Microsoft is a "trusting" company and rules in there favor. If a companies hardware/software is similar does automatically mean they infringe on a patent? There a several patents for one item but the invention is similar in design or function, these are all approved patents. Where do you draw a line that one company can create something similar but cannot use it without paying another royalties on a technicality..
This is just another battle between who wants to a monopoly, step on down and sue it out, or use the idiot mainstream press to see who will be crowned the personalized search monopoly!! I could see Facebook bitch over this.. Nitwitter is kind off a half ass-ed Facebook so they could get knocked off with Google stepping into this..You can go onto those classroom search sites, and a host of other search sites to find someone of course you'll find them, you will then need to fork out 20 plus bux to call them, or email them. This is something I could see Google doing, I found who I was looking for, dammit I got to pay to get there email..
I looks like robot bugs (insects) and drones may be the first.. Not surprising the have 1 out of 3 military air craft being drones, I guess the worry is when the US starts using them against its citizens not to just spy on everyone, but to carry out hit and deceased missions. I remind you that the inner belly had Martin King, JFK, John Lennon, ect, on a "top priority" terrorist list. I am not that worried about it, we got watch dog groups and slashdot to let us know when this will become a problem. Tho there will be no large computer database to destroy threats just the good old trusty Uncle Sam..
The very first computer I had was an Amiga 500, (I said this before) gaming consoles only now are catching up the the Amiga, Windows bs was not the first system to have multi media, Amiga was the first. You cannot compare any computer to the commodore, or its Predecessor (Amiga) to anything today... This is why Bill Gates and his crap company are jokers.. It is a shame that the Amiga could not find programmers to keep other 3rd party hardware (printers, ect, ect,.) up to date..
One of the greatest computer companies had failed to gain support in numbers as well as investors... The company lives on, but is being abused by other companies only interested in there innovation.. Damn Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use a small dose of Clorox (bleach) and some hot (very hot) water problem solved... This is just a small sample of why the FDA should be ousted from stamping worthless drugs/products... Another part of the Federal Government allowed to stay with the status quo even tho they are worthless..
The U.S has 18 times more military then every country combined, DARPA is just one out of many military setups that spends money on research, however most of the time they spend that money on contracts usually given to private companies to develop technology. These private companies usually develop this stuff without these contracts, I believe Boeing had a lot to do with Jet power, and other aircraft. The government handed out millions of dollars to private companies to develop aircraft designed to do specific tasks, out of the millions they spent only a few companies managed to spend that money to at least create aircraft the others spent it on themselves. Howard Hughes was tried by Congress for spending his cut of that money they claimed he failed to spend it developing any aircraft and failed to deliver the aircraft to the military, he pointed out that he had developed aircraft and numerous companies never turned in any plans or actual aircraft, and they had the same contract to develop and deliver. These Private companies have been developing technology for years without the military even being aware of it, spending the money on it only helps to accelerate its development, these days, and sadly 70% of the time it was rushed and always has some type of failure pushing technology always has more downside then upside, of course they heavily test it and continue to work on it for 10-20 years before it is considered just about fail proof. However the fact that other countries probably have become aware of these things, long before the public is ever told, (the whole every country is spying on each other they all know this but act like they don't) I find it funny the other countries can create some (not all the time) very cheap, and effective methods to counter these new technologies, considering the millions the U.S military spends to get these things developed and deployed. With private companies even Universities developing or pushing technology, I am not so sure the military or the Pentagon should be spending money on this, it helps to accelerate its development but these technologies would exist anyway.
I strongly dislike Gene, this guy is an example of what is wrong with the US the guy should have smoked some herb, drink some wine or booze maybe he would see what an ass he is. Instead he has an addiction to making himself money at any cost. I am one of the few people who hate KISS!!!. Not sure why Anonymous would even bother with a web site, hack into his money at least, he would spend even more money trying to track down who did it... And why would the FBI waste money to arrest the the person accused of hacking a 'shitty web site'?? Gene should pay for the investigation unless he did pay the FBI to catch who did it. Why did Gene even bitch over pirated music, these guys are not going to be downloading his shit music anyway.
I wonder if maybe Anonymous Hackers had a hand in this?? They threatened to expose a few cartels operations, if they did expose this to the Mexican Government I take back what I said about them. However this is only going to open the door for smaller more extreme cartels.
Example after they killed Pablo Escobar it did not put a dent in the problem it just gave several other drug operations (i have know Idea why I mention this to slashdot readers most of you already know this) the green to go ahead without Pablo's Army hunting them down, and or being forced to work with Pablo.. I understand the Anonymous Hackers wanting revenge, but this group may have done a lot more harm then good, IF THEY HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT..
I felt PC Games would take over due to better graphics and better overall play. It is funny that the Amiga had some solid graphics to the games in the early 90's and late 80"s and it took a Game consoles even the PC's, 15-20 years to at least match what the Amiga was doing. But since Piracy I do not see that happening, you read about games makers refusing to put out PC versions anymore. And with small devices handling what a clunky home/office computer can do PC's maybe the first to be Doomed.
I like how he used Xbox as an example many people (I think it is 60-70%) bought them because they are using them as computers, not with the intent on playing video games.
So if you live in China, or you are Chinese living in the U.S and talk shit about China's leaders the U.S. can help China's government track you down and punish the offenders?? Or is this related to spyware attacks, and hackers? Not sure what to make of this...
The U.S has a boat load of ways to track countries, this agreement does not really do anything for U.S surveillance on China or China's Internet!!!!! Come on now people!!! You know that with the kind of resources the U.S has they do not need agreements to track anyone, or any country..
This magazine was bound to fail... In the gaming world friends and word of mouth is what he or she relies on depending on, in his or hers genre of game . Having a gaming magazine that maybe (MAYBE) prone towards one game over another was not going to last, they had crappy cheats, good instructions (limited), or insight on how to think outside the box to beat a game. However with the internet storming along there were sites dedicated to games such as GTA (Grand Theft Auto for example out of hundreds) and GamePro fell behind, even there web site was a failure before it could get any where.
