  1. Re:So .... on Google Launches 'Keep' To Rival Evernote · · Score: 1

    OneNote is already online, through SkyDrive: http://skydrive.com/ The native OneNote clients for various devices already talk to the SkyDrive cloud service and store your notebook(s) there by default, as far as I can tell.

  2. Re:Android is NOT a useable tablet experience on Windows 8: a 'Christmas Gift For Someone You Hate' · · Score: 1

    When someone likes iOS or Android, it's because those things are good and they like them, but when someone honestly likes Windows, it's because they "believe the propaganda" or are a paid shill in their spare time?

    I don't know where you live, but Microsoft's now 7-year-old console outsold Nintendo's brand new one by a 2-to-1 margin over Thanksgiving weekend: http://gamerant.com/xbox-360-wii-u-black-friday-sales/

    Sounds like a 3rd world country. Maybe they should try having more taxes and less riots.

  5. Re:Uneducated advice line guy... on Microsoft's Killer Tablet Opportunity · · Score: 1

    The Fujitsu Stylistic ranges from 1.7 to 1.9 lbs. The iPad 2 is 1.33 lbs. At worst, this is 42% heavier, not "1.5-2x heavier". Fujitsu claims over 8 hours of battery life on their midrange model (1.9lbs total with that battery). Apple claims 10 hours, about 25% more. These numbers make the iPad look incrementally better, not insanely great.

    Don't the assholes at Google have way more money than the assholes at Disney? Why is Disney seemingly winning this war?

    user contribution based sites like YouTube and Wikipedia were nonexistent.

    Maybe Youtube wasn't around, but according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia, Wikipedia was started on January 15, 2001 (almost 11 years ago).

    From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV

    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),[1][2]

    Either Wikipedia is wrong, or you're wrong. It doesn't help your credibility that you're posting as AC.

  14. Re:Check out the indie label websites on How Do You Find New Non-RIAA Music? · · Score: 1

    My friend and I run a small indie music website called indiradio. We have about 250 songs on there, all totally independent (mostly -very- small bands), just bands trying to get their music out there. Check it out, and come participate... listeners can make accounts and take advantage of some of our lite-social-networking features (threaded comments on songs/artists, profiles with favorites, private messaging). Artists, post your music here... it's one more place for people to see it. We get decent StumbleUpon traffic sometimes.

    We're also in the process of starting up a very different kind of indie record label. It's called 80/20 records. Put simply, we're giving artists 80% of the profit from all sales and licensing. No hidden fees, no recouping a big fat Mercedes (to quote High Fidelity). We don't have any artists yet, as we're still in the preliminary stages of launching this thing, but we hope to really turn the music industry on its head.

  17. Re:Yeah, Right on Silverlight Released, Linux Version Coming · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call it "relying"... Moonlight works fine without Microsoft's AV codecs. If individual web sites want to make use of audio and video content in Microsoft's proprietary formats, they have to use Microsoft codecs (which are licensed for use in Moonlight). If individual web sites would prefer to use open source codecs, they can do so (assuming a port of such a codec exists within Silverlight/Moonlight). At the moment, the Microsoft codecs might be the only AV codecs available for Moonlight, but there's no reason we can't replace them with open source alternatives.

    Additionally, there's plenty of rich web content (even quite a bit already in Silverlight) that doesn't use AV codecs in any way.

  18. Re:Yeah, Right on Silverlight Released, Linux Version Coming · · Score: 1

    You don't have to, silly. You can run nice, clean, open source. It didn't even originate at Microsoft, as though that would make a difference--it's totally legitimate open source, developed by the community (and Novell), and based on the existing Mono project.

    Next time, RTFA.

    Actually, it was indeed H.G. Wells that wrote The War of the Worlds. Orson Welles directed the radio broadcast version. So... they'd both be locked up.

  25. Re:My favorite bug on What is the Best Bug-as-a-Feature? · · Score: 1

    If you don't have tight space requirements, you could do it in O(n) by storing elements in a hash table and appending them to a new list.

    for each element {
        if (! inHashTable (element) ) {
            addToHashTable (element)
            addToNewList (element)
        }
    }

    If I remember correctly, the hash table operations are O(1) each, and the list appending is O(1), making the overall algorithm O(n) ... but it'd certainly use more space than yours.
