  1. Re:The worst one of all on TechCrunch Argues Social Media News Feeds 'Need to Die' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    You can't view anything on their website without having an account, as you yourself have demonstrated.

    Having an account to post? Sure. Requiring an account to view? With so many results on Pinterest, that's like a separate Internet just like Facebook.

    You still have time to buy sub-$1 crypto-currencies, just in case they take off. There's still a lot of sub-one-cent cryptos, doesn't take much for them to fluctuate.

    Zuckerberg called them "dumb fucks".

    Here's the quote for the "(citation needed)" readers:

    Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
    Zuck: Just ask
    Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
    [Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
    Zuck: People just submitted it.
    Zuck: I don't know why.
    Zuck: They "trust me"
    Zuck: Dumb fucks

    I don't use any of these, yet there's one I absolutely hate: Pinterest.

    It's nearly impossible to search for images without a huge part of the results linking to Pinterest. Pinterest, of course, don't let you do anything without a fucking account.

    I wish Google would add a "Remove Pinterest results" button, or at least let us save permanent search filters to our account, applied to every search we make.

  7. Even when powered off? on Purism Now Offers Laptops with Intel's 'Management Engine' Disabled (puri.sm) · · Score: 1

    Purism describes Management Engine as "a separate CPU that can run and control a computer even when powered off."

    So the ME has a built-in battery? When I power off my PC, I really power it off. Yes, once the computer part is off I also switch off the power supply.

    Firebug isn't alive. The proper title is "After 12 years, Mozilla discontinues 'Firebug' dev tool".

    If you want a really good printer, there's the Prusa i3 mk3, tons of amazing features for under $1K. I've also heard good things about LulzBot's printers.

    That's okay, they've been 3D-printing new employees since january.

  11. Re:Despite the fact that we're in the 3D printer on MakerBot Launches New 'MakerBot Labs' Platform (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    A 3D printer is just like any other tool. It's nice to have but it's not useful for everything. A 3D printer can do things that a CNC can't do, a CNC can do things a 3D printer can do, add a lathe and a laser cutter into your shop and you can pretty much do anything.

    Same goes for having a hammer, a saw and a screwdriver. They're different tools for different uses.

    I didn't forget anything, Samsung did. I'm just reporting the numbers on their chart.

  13. Are you mining Bitcoin with a CPU+GPU, or mining something else and trading what you mine for Bitcoins?

    I'm using my gaming PC (i5 with R9 270) to mine Monero right now, not sure if it's the best choice.

    Even if he "only" leaves one billion to each of his kid, that's still more than enough money for a lifetime of worry-free luxury.

    For once, reading TFA would have been useful to a lot of people here, including myself.

    There's a photo with a graph in it:

    Bitcoin mining cluster
    CPU mining comparison with desktop PC
    PC i7-2600, hash rate 20000, 95 watts
    Galaxy S5, hash rate 2600, 4 watts

    Power efficiency
    PC i7-2600, 211 Khash/watt
    Galaxy S5, 650 Khash/watt

    Can any of these compete with ASICs? No. But they can still participate in a pool.
    They could also mine something else like Dogecoin, Litecoin or Monero.

    Does it really matter to compete with ASIC miners? That's like saying the #2 mining pool can't compete with the #1 mining pool so it's pointless and they should stop? What if all their phones are powered by solar panels?

    I wrote at least $400K.

    What's the point of paying not to have competition (how is that even legal in the first place, it's bribes and corruption) and then not take over the market you just paid for?

  21. How about this? on Comcast Tries To Derail Fort Collins Community Broadband (dslreports.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    You paid $200K to not have any competition? Then you have to invest at least $400K into building/upgrading the infrastructure that you just prevented from happening. You have one year otherwise you forfeit your rights, you lose your $200K and you give everything built/upgraded so far to the competition you just prevented.

  22. Yeah... let the real APPS guy do it, you're just embarrassing yourself.

  23. Really? I'm pretty sure you just did it to whatever word you were trying to write.
