  1. Say it ain't so oh oh oh...

  2. Years ago 3d from photos on Microsoft Announces Paint 3D, the Biggest Update Ever To the Classic App (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    when I bought this book https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Y... I believe the cd contains a program that could turn part of a photo like a building into a 3d object.

  3. It also come with a convenient backdoor on New Smart Guns Will Have Fingerprint Readers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I suppose no one should be worried about some way of mass disabling the electronics in a freedom zone so they citizen can't use their given right...

  4. This feels like on No One Wants To Buy Twitter (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    late 90's and where media companies were buying each other out and then dropping as things didn't work out. It think Go network use to gobble up lots of sites.

  5. I don't have cable or any streaming service. Cancelled TV 4 years ago and said screw it to Netflix when they blocked unblocking services, so now I'm a pirate. I can only really do about 3 hours of straight watching before tube anxiety hits me. I then have to take a break for a few hours and can watch again.I watch the LOTR extended version a few weeks ago and could only manage one per day. I managed to watch Once Upon a Time in America extended version (250min+) but had to take a few breaks.

  6. Re:Well, DUH on PC Industry Is Now On a Two-Year Downslide (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Well that's why I have a laptop in my car (Running Mint) and just set up a hot spot with my phone. I could possibly have some use for a pad but not going to spend money on a system that I have limited control unless I root it.

  7. Re:Well, DUH on PC Industry Is Now On a Two-Year Downslide (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'm the opposite. Only thing I do on my phone is check contact info for say a business or directions. I'd rather wait till get home or to my shop before I do any computing on my desktop. Even my 17 year old would rather do things on his desktop than on his phone.

  8. How are they going to compete with the 100's of convenience stores around each city and usually several with in a block of each other.

  12. Re:I have a out of this world solution on Malware Evades Detection By Counting Word Documents (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks I'm brilliant, I knew not having a high skool diploma would be useful one day.. Speaking of which any one running these systems should be able to create a script/program to continuously create/delete word documents and randomize the count of documents in the system at any time.

  13. I have a out of this world solution on Malware Evades Detection By Counting Word Documents (threatpost.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    No cable

    Not buying any more new DVD's
    Yes to Piratebay
    Yes to pawnshops for $2-5 DVD's

    Do I feel guilty for buying probably stolen dvd's/cd/br at pawn shop so actors and music artists can't get paid. Nope its actually leave the money they would have sucked out of me in my pocket and I'm ok with that.

  16. love Twitter.

    my 1080P tv has been doing fine for the last 7+ years and unless it burns out it'll do just fine for the next 7+ years. Same with my Olympus E5. The EM-1 is much batter but not enough to really make any difference in how I take photos or want me to upgrade and fork over the $$$$$
