  1. Re:But on Mark Cuban: Facebook Is Driving Away Brands — Starting With Mine · · Score: 1

    If you read further, he's upset that it seems like the price varies and is per post. He'd rather just pay a monthly fee and post as much as he wants.

    Yeah, my eyes Screwed up on that one. No doubt.

    Uhm, I was at Tesla's dealership earlier today. They do exist.

  4. Re:Duh on Moore's Law Is Becoming Irrelevant, Says ARM's Boss · · Score: 1

    Well, the point of that benchmark was for servers. The i7 is not a mobile phone chip. Arm is trying to increase its performance, to compete in the server arena, intel is trying to drop its energy usage to compete in mobile. The Arm system in that benchmark is kind of a dev board that's closer to a mobile device than the future arm servers manufactorers are planning. So its kind of not a fair comparision. It would be like throwing the i7 into a 7 inch "android phone" with a lcd as moniter and a mobile phone modem and then comparing its battery life against an iphone.

  5. Re:Aren't vote records private / secret ballot? on The Data Crunchers Who Helped Win The Election · · Score: 1

    In some states you must publicly declare yourself to be either a republican or democart in order to vote in the primaries. I'm guessing that's the record they are refering to.

    Unfortunatly, IOS && OSX of today are greatly modified versions of BSD, with a different kernel and apis. Macs were a great unix desktop ten years ago, now they just kind of blow. Linux is the only way to go these days for Unix && desktop.

    Yeah, I'm graced with his paid facebook posts. He sounds like a time traveler from a parallel universe where sounding like a 50's educational films narrator was the height of style. His "patriotisim" reeks of egotisim, eleetism and insanity. You get the feeling that in the paralell universe he's from he launched a first strike against the USSR on his first day of office.

  11. WHY? That was a terrible idea! "lets host our valuable data on the same servers as pirated content and hope the feds don't enforce the laws" Seemed like a *good* idea to you? I'm sorry but I'd nominate all of those businesses for the cooperate darwin award.

    They're also home to pixar, now a days. Although John Lasseter is busy, I wouldn't mind if he took over the franchise. He's probably one of the best story tellers right now. Plus, pixar used to be part of LucasFilms so it would be a nice fit.

  14. Re:Made $4 with WP7 on Windows Phone 8 Having Trouble Attracting Developers · · Score: 1

    Well, that's kind of useless without a comparision to the amount a top rated app in apple's app store or google play makes. I'm guessing more than $4, but I don't know I've never clicked a mobile add before. I never understood why anyone would click an add. None of them are relivant to me.

    I'm not an ubuntu user, but Its pretty close to what I want. Android is also a Linux distro. I like the idea of having the choice of different WM/GUI configurations which will allow for more experimentation and innovation than the closed development model of android allows.

    The point of bringing up wayland is that it may not have a problem going fullscreen because its a different system than X. All window managers that use X have this problem.

    Uh, wayland isn't a composting window manager, its a display server protocol. Kind of like X11.

    As long as you are using a legit SSL cert ( avalible for less than $10 anually) with decent cipher strength ( again, avalible for less than $10 anually), man in the middle should be impossible with TLS/SSL and the proper use of it by the client ( don't connect and send sensitive data, if the ssl cert isn't valid or the signer isn't trusted).

    No, the stupid, horrible media obsession is not just for those who don't like math and science. There is pleanty of terrible sci-fi out there for the nerd crowd. There is no reason why someone who loves math and science would go dateless, unless they were socially inept as well. Nerd != socially inept.

    Sorry, didn't phrase that well. Yes both could be correct, but the article only has one set of figures from each study which leads me to beleive that was the emphisis of each. One was emphisising that the drone strikes mostly kill people that are not high level targets. The other that aprox 1/10 killed are innocent. Which of those two do you believe to be more important?

    royallthefourth obviously thinks that the small numbers of high level targets is more important and thinks that everyone should use that critera for determinig the validity of the strikes.

  25. Re:Perhaps on 72% of Xbox 360 Gamers Approve of "More Military Drone Strikes" · · Score: 1

    Interesting. Although I consider myself to be well read, I was not aware of those figures. That article you linked to also has a couple different studies in it. One says 2% of those killed are high value targets, another says 11% of those killed are civilians or not known to be terrorists. Which one of those you believe would highly influence your opnion on these strikes.
