  1. Re:The horse has left the barn... on DoD Descends On DEFCAD · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yup, the internet as usual will treat censorship as damage and route around it.

    Not that I would ever use those plans, I prefer my guns to be a heck of a lot more safe to operate.

  2. Re:I quite like mine. on Real World Stats Show Chromebooks Are Struggling · · Score: 2

    I had considered doing the same thing with a pixel. Just to get a nice display on a linux laptop. Not a lot of decent laptop displays out there. Pretty much that and a Macbook Pro.

    I think I have stated before that I just go to the bar.

    I am not that into sports. I will certainly not pay an amount that could buy me many live tickets to watch a sport on tv.

    Very easy to run Chrombuntu on and then it makes the best laptop I know of for that price.

    I do, it is super cheap.
    You need to switch providers.

    I think it comes with 10Mbit for each rack.

    I already have such a plan. I can also rip DVDs.
    More cellular subscribers can be served by making cells smaller. I am driving that sort of change with my usage.

    Millions of pirates using BitTorrent can download their files right before they watch them with modern internet connections.

  7. Re:You know... on How Netflix Eats the Internet · · Score: 1

    Better idea just upgrade the internet connections.

    I don't want to decide what I am going to watch hours in advance. I have no interest in leaving some machine on burning power to record a show for later.

  8. Re:Still not good enough for me. on How Netflix Eats the Internet · · Score: 1

    They can think that all they want. Not gonna happen.

    I can always wait for DVDs.

  9. Re:Still not good enough for me. on How Netflix Eats the Internet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I feel that way about cable.
    Too much content I don't want, advertising, and shows are played via some schedule instead of streamed when I want. Sure there are workarounds like DVRs, but that is just a bandaid on a huge gaping wound.

    No, they pay their ISP bills like everyone else.

  11. Re:Ambient noise on Sleep Deprivation Lowers School Achievement In Children · · Score: 1

    I am speaking about road noise and mufflers.

    Those subwoofers are something you can call the cops about.

    In my nice middle class suburb they respond and it works!

    Suggesting they are non-ionizing does not mean they are safe. It just means they are non-ionizing and therefore do not cause cancer.

    You are reading words that are not there.

    You put the storage in another computer. You do have more than one right?

    Bcache is does not require btrfs.

    No one made that claim.

    They only claimed it does not cause cancer. Which it does not. A cell phone is far too weak to do any real heating, nor would that heating go deep enough to get anywhere near your brain.

  16. Re:Ambient noise on Sleep Deprivation Lowers School Achievement In Children · · Score: 1

    Construction has gotten much better, especially windows which now transmit far less sound. Vehicles have gotten quieter and the party set is not going to risk arrest by being that loud.

  17. Re:Take them out of the loop on USAF Strips 17 Officers of Nuclear Launch Authority · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Because clearly movies are our greatest source of knowledge about our universe.

    Fantastic book, terrifying too.

    Hopefully no one needed to look at the name to know who wrote it.

  19. Re:Move the goal posts and declare victory! on China's Allwinner Outsold Intel, Qualcomm In Tablet Processors In 2012 · · Score: 2

    The rest of the Android category belongs to Nvidia.

    They compared to two companies that sell tiny amounts of Tablet CPUs.

    That changes nothing.
    Those folks now pay big money for text books that fit their worldview. This would only mean they could have their insanity cheaper.

  21. Intel sold basically 0 tablet CPUs, and Qualcomm is not that far ahead of them.

    How did they compare to Samsung, whoever actually fabs Apple ARM CPUs and Nvidia?

  22. Re:Bleaker than you think! on Mars One Has 78,000 Applicants · · Score: 1

    I find that show pretty offensive so I refuse to watch it. If it stereotyped other groups that way it would already be off the air.

  23. Re:Third-party nominations? on Mars One Has 78,000 Applicants · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I will wager you are wrong.
    Not all 78,000 will, but I bet you could find at least 100 that would. Being first to mars, or among the first will be a huge draw.

    I do not get the reference.

    I would also argue that it is wrong.

  25. Re:I'd prefer paying over DRM on Coursera Partners With Chegg To Offer Gratis, DRMed Textbooks for Courses · · Score: 1

    I think a single school board could do it.
    A reasonable size school district can fund such a thing for 1 book at a time as they replace them.

    I think we all directly benefit from an educated society, but that is probably me being geeky again.

    The problem with health care reform is that it was another bullshit half measure.
