  1. Quality of comments on US Antitrust Agency Sues Qualcomm Over Patent Licensing (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    is a function of embedded actors in the industry...

    Lower quality communication and low signal to noise ratio makes reaching a consensus slower. You can defeat this roadblock by simply looking at the quality of the comments first instead of considering them. When there is clear disdain for the very act of communication, it becomes clear whats going on in the context of the event.

  2. I can charge, copy a file and make a call at the same time. sometimes the copy fails though, its probably an issue with my noname microsd card. I think Windows 10 has abstracted these types of operations away enough that you can do as many types of read/write operations as you like as long as the hardware supports it.

  3. I purchased my windows 10 phone for $50, unlocked. It sure is nice having a phone that a.) browses full websites with a modern browser (no webkit garbage) b.) works like a USB drive like iPhones used to (why did they remove this feature) c.) lasts more than a day on a charge.

    Even nicer is I can drag and drop mp3s and flac to the device's microsd card and play them with the native media player. 128gb of storage on my phone for the total price of $100

    and put the keys in the cloud too. It's not like they can easily reverse engineer your foss-based stack, or simply intercept the data in transit. Because they can't because because.

    I agree. Airbus spent some money on a fun little project.

  6. ISP is a Utility on Major ISPs Threaten To Throttle Innovation and Slow Network Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Oh, you can't be profitable anymore without ripping off customers? The networking industry has already been completely optimized? So what you're saying is ISPs are logically a utility?

  7. What Internet? on FCC Chair: It's Ok For ISPs To Discriminate Traffic · · Score: 5, Insightful

    All I see is a bunch of telecom fiefdoms expanding their influence. It was nice having an internet for a while, but TCP/IP was never built to enforce network neutrality, and you can't stop technology from breaking old protocols and extracting value from communication before that value can be delivered to the real intended recipient.

    Deep Packet Inspection is Piracy. Return the favor.

  8. Re:Hemingway Quote on IDC: PC Shipments Decline Worse Than Forecasted, No Recovery Expected · · Score: 1

    Figures look a lot different when you include cell phones as well. Not sure what your point is. Nobody is developing software or designing engines on an iPad.

    How's that? Because Metro was blasted by the press? Can't believe that the press has any effect on the (real) market anymore.

    We're talking about Oracle here, not a Las Vegas strip Casino.

    Maybe not such a big difference when you consider the economics of their primary product, and it's "features"...

  11. Re:Hemingway Quote on IDC: PC Shipments Decline Worse Than Forecasted, No Recovery Expected · · Score: 2

    Stupid quote that doesn't apply. The reality is that no new PC hardware means no new PC sales.

    Did IDC Predict that the newest GPUs would focus on energy efficiency, forsaking performance improvements; and it has been well over a year since Intel broke new performance ground? Even AMD hasn't released anything worth considering, unless your in the market for a budget pc, since the middle of last year.

    Yeah, Sure the current system is broken, but it's the best system we have, so if you don't like it move to another country.

    Surely our bankster overlords know the right solutions and will soon implement a comprehensive Siberian development plan where methane becomes the rights of large corporations and runoff and byproducts become the responsibility of Siberian natives.

    Have you tried Google or the AWS documentation? What you are asking for is the bare-bones most basic use case. They even have services setup to make this kind of thing easier, like the Simple Workflow Service, Messaging Service and Simple Que Service.

  18. Re:Lenovo. on Ask Slashdot: Best Laptops For Fans Of Pre-Retina MacBook Pro? · · Score: 1

    These kinds of resolutions are little more than a battery drain for developers. I suppose if you're a designer of some type, it could be a good option (over a desktop) but saying 10809 is not high-res because some other laptop has higher resolution doesn't make it true.

  23. A browser is not an iPod on Google Is Building a Chrome App-Based IDE · · Score: 5, Insightful

    and the way Google does this is by moving processing to the client but maintaining control of the APIs. Which raises the question, in my mind, exactly what value is Google providing that you can't get from existing open APIs and platforms? Seems like the only thing they are "providing" is an expectation in your clients that you support Chrome only, and an API that is guaranteed to break and need maintenance in the near future.
