  1. Re:Industrial design and TV? Who are they kidding? on Apple To Start Making TVs? · · Score: 1

    just today i saw 10-15 adds on tv about Samsung Smart TV, and LG SmartTVs . Android in every living room, unless Apple makes one.

    Bring on the pVR wars, i wanna see android+mythtv distro

  2. leave usa if your that good at math on Online Poker Legalization Bill Coming Next Week · · Score: 1

    Surely a little math would proove you would have made more $$ and have a better free life outside usa.

  3. and russian pies get deported freely on British Student Faces Extradition To US Over Copyright · · Score: 2

    So link to tv shows and go to jail. become an agent undercover spy for russian govt in the usa, and you dont even go to jail, but get deported.

    Nice morals USA.

    All russian spies can breath a sigh of relief. For they will never go to jail.

    Too many humans that's all , and who's tonsay that a warmer earth isn't bad

  5. TAX CUTS ARE GOOD on White House To Announce IT-Powered Smart Grid · · Score: 1

    For every $1 less in tax, that person will spend that $1 recursively 10x and cause lots in GDP and benefits.

    Give that $1 to the govt, and it is 90% wasted down the toilet money, as it goes direct to the banks in interest payments.

    YOU CANNOT TAX YOUR WAY TO PROSPERITY.

    Id rather see $1trillion given to the rich people, as they will spend it wisely, so they buy a big boat or large house, that creates jobs through more gardners, mechanics, cleaners, car sales.

  6. Future is just like startrek/stargate on Apple Now World's Largest Semiconductor Buyer · · Score: 1

    Loads of servers everywhere, with terminals to login, or access to the server 'cloud/internet' via portable devices such as mini tablets/phones, or larger 10"+ tablets.

    Phone/tablets will grow closer to desktop cousins, as in more storage/local apps. And desktops converted to more home servers, so pretty much later there will be ONLY laptops / tablets to buy, and big box 'Home Servers' that handle shit loads of backups/media servers/PVRs/VMs.

  7. use a remote vm on Mozilla MemShrink Set To Fix Firefox Memory · · Score: 1

    Then you should be using a VM on your desktop, with 16gig ram, and another instance of FF there, and you can just remote desktop/vnc to it.

    Then it doesnt matter how much ram your laptop has.

  8. would be intersting to hack it to use MYTHTV on Nintendo Announces New Console: Wii U · · Score: 1

    Id rather see this thing hacked, so we could stream info/screen/movies from a mythtv box to the controller, then use the controller as a big selection input device to select a movie, and bang, play it on the remote, or play it on the tv.

    That would rock more!.

    I wonder what sort of vid format it would use, h264 or something with subchannel info for 'menus/controlls' touch areas, with 'urls' back to the host, or byte streams.

    In any case, would even work as a remote desktop to your linux/windows box too, and as a cheap home tablet in a way. Just need a remote desktop to an 'android session' if you could have android in a VM.

     

  9. Re:Checks and balances on Court Case To Test Legality of Recording the Police With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    It might be hard to proove you didnt murder someone, or hide evidence, etc.... but its probably hell of a lot easier to preplan a fake intent in detail, so your outcome of your crime is the same, but if you faked your intent just right with enough planning and 'sly evidence' , then you can skew the conviction outcome.

    Consider it a mathamatical problem, beyond the intellectual grasp of the lawyers/DA.

  10. criminals leave innocent bystanders alone on Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops · · Score: 1

    Criminals at least have a brain, they wont attack innocents like this.

    Only psychopath meth addicts with mental illness would should a random citizen.

    If im no threat to a crim, he wouldnt waste his effort to harm me, or risk getting caught.

  11. I have a better solution to that on Skype Is Working To Defeat the Reverse Engineering · · Score: 1

    This is so easy to solve.

    1. Dont make games tied to an OS, but bootable of DVDROM, like an xbox/ps3, but on the PS. And since theres only 2 ever video card makers, its easy to support.

    2. boot this into linux under a VM that lets you control the video card.

    3. Failing that, just give up dudes, and use Windows VM. Its not gona kill you, you wont run out of harddisk space, ram is cheap.

    Some files I never want cached, or some dirs.

    ie. such as all my mp3s/avi's dont need to be cached.

  16. putting on a tie on Arrest In $740M NYC Time and Attendance System Case · · Score: 2

    for a govt job

    I mean seriously, any decent programmer who can code well, cannot do this and would take him hours of hard labour.

    Add a clean shirt, and pants, and the fact that you have to get up early 6am to get to work by 8am.

    Thats just torture, I mean no real sane genius programmer can ever ever do that. NEVER.

  18. the will if jobs are on the moon on Discovery of Water In Moon May Alter Origin Theory · · Score: 1

    If nasa says, wanted, 50000 people for a moon city.

    Then im sure a lot of people would apply to work on the moon.

    Re apollo, people still cared, millions still watched the launches.

    Its just NIXON was a fuked up retart who stopped it because the bankers fuked up usa due to inflation.

    And if no one cares, then tuff titties, usa can go down inflames. And the moon will be one big china town.

    so 80% of it would have fallen back to earth as rain/steam, and 20% must have been close enuf to the moon to have at least fallen there too perhaps as snow (now many feed underground?)

  20. Not if the US dollar free falls on HTC Is Paying Microsoft $5 For Every Android Phone · · Score: 1, Troll

    If the US$ falls to sad ass levels, $5 might be worth less than 1 resistor or 1 blank cdrw disk.

    In this case, the flat $5 fee might be bad today, but nothing in the future.

  21. sitting back watching shares rise? on Steve Ballmer's Head On the Block? · · Score: 0

    Hang on, Gates DIDNT write windows code or do that much.

    He just had a large percentage of stock that just happened to make huge gains, thanks to lots of pension funds buying the shares as a safe long term investment (like enron oil shares).

    Doing nothing is hardly 'skillful' , just lucky.

  22. Amiga 1000 kicked ass on Windows 1.0: the Power of DOS, Plus Tiled Windows · · Score: 1

    back in the 85-90 days, the amiga kicked ass in all regards.

    Looked sexy, ran fast, had lots of ram, its a pitty it didnt get 10x the R&D budget+programmers tho.

    512Meg my ass.

    40,000 per given 5 minute period, maybe.

    not 40,000 per one second interval.

    Instead of having that pizza for dinner, buy 4gig of ram dude.

    I find it ironic linux coders/hackers make their own scripts/setupts, yet FAIL at even making their own pizza, but buy a ready made solution for food.

  25. why pay tax? thats your real question on Can Computers Be Used To Optimize the US Tax Code? · · Score: 1

    The income tax was introduced in 1913 at levels of like about 2% , for only the super rich.

    90% of people didnt have to pay so didnt complain.

    Govts got greedy, kept increasing the taxes, and lowering the thresholds.

    Welcome to 2011, 110% of you taxes and more goes directly to banks, and none of it gets spent on 'society'
