  1. Re:So why continue it... on Bill Gates Acknowledges Ctrl+Alt+Del Was a Mistake · · Score: 1

    I don't use windows regularly, but does Win 8 now require it?

    I was not asking for an answer, I was pointing out the lack of elegance.
    From your doc:

    Command (âOE)-Shift-4, press the Space bar, move the camera pointer over the area to highlight it, and then click.

    Sanity: Print screen plus one other button.

    You forgot the space. So 4 buttons to do one simple thing. Sure, and I remapped it to screenshot like it should be. That does not explain why it does not default to screenshot if someone plugs in a proper keyboard.

    Elegant? Ask an OSX user how to screenshot a window.

    Because not everyone has one?
    This keyboard does not. In fact I don't think I own any that do.

    The point of an unlocked bootloader is to do what I want.

    If those things did not meet my needs I would.

    So is my brother and I was one project away from it at one time.

    I find my statement highly informed and truthful. They are not really allowing gay members, more like don't ask don't tell. I remember lots of kids being picked on for their race or socioeconomic standing. I have seen non-protestant families run out of troops. We had the head of our lodge of the OA kicked out for merely stating he thought homosexuals should be able join the boy scouts. Mind you he was gay too, but he never told anyone until after he was kicked out.

  9. Re:can I once again point out... on Somebody Stole 7 Milliseconds From the Federal Reserve · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They consider that a feature not a bug.

    Perhaps they thought it would make it less likely that they would be caught?

    No need to defend, the Hacker Scouts should gladly change their name so they are not assumed to be involved with those bigots.

    You mean trademark law.
    Copyright law has no such provision.

  13. Re:Not True on Valve Announces Hardware Beta Test For 'Steam Machine' · · Score: 1

    Googling "record ps3 gameplay hdmi" seems to return a lot of hits.

    I don't plan to do that, I merely wanted to point out that if HDCP is good enough then so is nothing.

  14. Re:"Burning Platform" on A Timely Revision of Elop's "Burning Platform" Memo · · Score: 4, Funny

    Because you don't have the money to buy the company, nor are you friends with their friends.

    I would have driven their company into the ground for a mere fraction of what Elop was paid or squandered. Yet, they never called me.

    Not Anti-MS anti the guy who runs netflix.

    HDCP is cracked, this means you can record from the Tivo or the PS3 just fine.

  16. Re:A truly useful gaming appliance on Valve Announces Hardware Beta Test For 'Steam Machine' · · Score: 1

    I think the idea here is that you might be able to do that, but most people would not be able to do that.

    Valve can't count to 3 so do not hold your breath.

  17. Re:Just like Google with Android on Valve Announces Hardware Beta Test For 'Steam Machine' · · Score: 3, Informative

    Netflix is not opensource. So porting it is not possible. I could use the wine stuff, but that has performance issues.

    Neflix is owned by someone who sat/sits on MS's board and seems to have no interest in proper linux support.

  18. Re:Proprietary on top of linux = no control for us on Valve Announces Hardware Beta Test For 'Steam Machine' · · Score: 2

    The platform is open, you own the machine. You should be able to just move over the software or even copy their kernel. I really doubt they changed that at all.

  19. Re:Just like Google with Android on Valve Announces Hardware Beta Test For 'Steam Machine' · · Score: 1

    The phantom never even shipped anything, so it might not be fair to compare it. Steam already has a lot of users for their PC product so this should be easier.

    Add in netflix and I will highly consider one.

    How many monitors do you need?
    If you had no other use for that hardware it sure does. SSDs, monitors, good cases those are expensive.

    We have seen the new consoles already and no they will not exceed a $500 PC at this point.

    My car will take me where I choose, the microwave will cook what I want, and the monitor will display what I want.

    This tablet is not like those. If I could buy bootloader unlocked versions of all of those I would as well.

    My machine also runs KVM, and various database software. I have not upgraded since that video card, which is more than a year old.

    Is it safe to assume the bootloader is still locked and I should continue to avoid these?

    To ban it federally it did. Is alcohol still banned federally?

    I prefer to avoid those locations. Might as well go live in the middle east if I wanted to deal with that kind of lunacy.
