  1. Re:NLP + sEnglish != thinking on Sysbrain Lets Satellites Think For Themselves · · Score: 1

    End result is that we find more and more that what we think of as some clever human trait can be done by brute force iterations. But then again, science finds more and more that we work on very old hardwired biases and post-action justification.

    Well Frankenstein got into trouble because he "disowned" his own creation.

    The "problem" is that these precautions also bites one the ass when Murphy strikes and one have to hire a recovery company.

  5. Re:who cares on Steve Jobs Health Worries Escalate · · Score: 1

    Your forgetting about Woz desiging the Apple 1 during his spare time. Jobs is likely a marketing savant, but without Woz Apple would not have happened in the first place (unless Jobs had found some other engineer to graft onto).

  6. Re:Evolution is smarter than you. on Ants Build Cheapest Networks · · Score: 1

    I suspect one will find that those roads follow old animal trails that where basically the most energy efficient track from a to b as generations moved back and forth. This as those using less efficient paths had less reserves for mating and raising young.

    Dunno about the rest, but plastics can be replaced by lignin.

  8. Re:just another lame attempt on How Do Seeders Profit From BitTorrent? · · Score: 1

    A different version i have seen recently is that file sharing is "wealth destruction!!!".

    Err, last time i checked wealth was the physical objects owned by a person, and only if it was something someone else may want but could not get. This outside of trade or laboring towards constructing a version of his own.

  9. Re:Really? on How Do Seeders Profit From BitTorrent? · · Score: 1

    Such a torrent would either get its password shared in every tracker page with a comment system, or downvoted to oblivion once discovered.

  10. Re:Why??? on Dual-core Smartphone Runs Android and Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Iirc, each app in android is sandboxed. This is not virtual machine level paranoid seperation tho.

  11. Re:Been trying to do this for a while... on Dual-core Smartphone Runs Android and Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Dunno, could they have wrapped the dalvik VM in wayland or something to get some kind of control over the video output without involving full X?

    Still, Archos pulled a trick with their first gen of android devices where the media player would take over control of the display during playback and hand it back to dalvik once done. Made for some instability in the changeover tho.

    Still, it helps being able to do this at firmware creation time rather then try to slip it in after market.

  12. lets see if i understand... on Freedom Box Foundation Wants Plug Servers For All · · Score: 1

    what he wants to make is a tor/freenet node that is plug and play, that one can put between the in house network and the isp router and act as a net actvity proxy and decentralized and version tracking cache?

    This way, any page accessed is cached, dated and checksummed, so that if ever the main source "dies" a cached version can be grabbed anonymously and distributed as needed?

  13. Big blue meet big gray... on AMD Sale to Dell Rumored · · Score: 1

    So it seems that Dell would want to go IBM? Or am i missing something? Oh right, AMD spun off its production capacity in the form of Global Foundries.

    Its kinda funny in a way, all the big entertainment sectors sell "rebellion" yet do not want their customers to rebel against them,

    Ok, how about a rephrase that to "not killing anyone"?

  22. so... on Mirror's Edge Sequel On Hold · · Score: 1

    Not enough forced on rails shooting (hell, one can finish the whole game without firing a shot), and limited multiplayer (and so less enforced sales as the match making servers will aggressively check serials and such) and i am not surprised the EA bigwigs dropped a sequel.

  24. Re:Religion makes ME uncomfortable on The Most Violent Video Games of All Time · · Score: 1

    Question is, are those examples extreme outliers or the norm?

    Problem is that media can not help you to answer that, as they get most of their money from turning outliers into norms...

  25. Re:This is why... on Recent HP Laptops Shipped CPU-Choking Wi-Fi Driver · · Score: 1

    to bad that never sends any info to the beancounters that the customers (or these days, "consumers") disapproves. You payed money for the product and did not return it, ergo you liked what you got.
