  1. Why? on Mozilla Is Working On a Firefox OS-powered Streaming Stick · · Score: 1

    Do they have the content to support 'yet another smart tv platform'?

  2. Re:What's old is new again on 3D Windowing System Developed Using Wayland, Oculus Rift · · Score: 1

    even if perfectly implemented this idea still doesn't provide anything useful

    Again, i have heard that time and time again, from people with limited minds that cant see outside their own little box. If people like you had their way, we would still be living in caves "i dont see any need to go outside, its just fine in this here cave"

    Idiot.

  3. Re:Magazines still exist? on After 47 Years, Computerworld Ceases Print Publication · · Score: 1

    Magazines do still exist. They fill a niche for those that want to read a long-form ad-free article.

    Umm i have not seen a magazine that didn't insert ads in their content on the pages for decades. Sure they dont popup in your face, or play a movie, but they are still there.

    You always run the risk of customs grabbing it. I wonder if anyone has been tracked down because a box came to the border with their name on it, with something that wasn't allowed here. You didn't take receipt of said illegal item.. no proof you even asked for it really.

    You have to get caught first. ( and i really have no intention on doing it, but if i did, some stupid 3 letter agency wouldn't stop me )

    The same right that you have to spew nonsensical compressed waves into the air when you open your mouth and vibrate your vocal cords.

    If i want it, i will get it. Do you think i care about authorization?

  10. Banning Knowledge next? on Chinese Vendor Could Pay $34.9M FCC Fine In Signal-Jammer Sting · · Score: 0

    So will they also ban the knowledge of howto make your own? Call you a terrorist just for knowing how.. or telling others?

    As they should.

    Besides that, if i want a jammer i should be able to get one.

    Its no different bringing a tablet or eink reader to camp than a stack of books. You are still distracting yourself.

  14. Magazines still exist? on After 47 Years, Computerworld Ceases Print Publication · · Score: -1

    Really.. why? Other than to line my bird cage that is. All the information i want is 'out there' and i dont have to futz with a bunch of different publications and all their fluff and ads. Its not even about free, its about wading thru 90% garbage for that one tiny article on page 90... And having to pay for the rest too.

    Unless its a over sized glossy 'art' magazine, and even that is debateable at this point.

    That is what is said about a lot of technology in the beginning. Time and time again, that defeatist attitude is proven wrong, and those people who are short sighted, are just that and there is not basis on reality.

  17. Re:What's old is new again on 3D Windowing System Developed Using Wayland, Oculus Rift · · Score: 1

    I will hold of judgement until i see the real thing. However, even if it is useless this cycle, every time something comes "back around" it gets more and more useful as it is refined. Plus all the collateral improvements in other related technology that happens is nothing to discount either.

    I tend to agree and will want one or 2 myself, but it still wont be quite as cool for hardware people, as you dont have any "programmable" pins hanging off this thing..

  21. Re:Capitalism. on Former FCC Head: "We Should Be Ashamed of Ourselves" For State of Broadband · · Score: 1

    But we dont have that in the USA. As soon as the Federal Government started mucking around with things beyond protecting the consumer, it ceased to be that.

    But in theory each time it cycles its less expensive, more advanced, and more available.

    If only the owner holds the key to kill a device, ( and can be given to a new owner.. ) then i'm ok with it as its my device, my control.

    If i dont get total control over its use, then leave it off my phone/tablet/etc.

    How there can be laws to prevent you from selling to an individual in any industry. I know they were purchased, but still how can a law like this ever get passed with out SOMEONE getting in its way?
