  1. Re:So its wrong? on AMD Launches New Mobile APU Lineup, Kabini Gets Tested · · Score: 2

    Yeah you're the only person on the Internet bothered by a grammar error.

  2. Re:Paparazzi on 5-Pound UAV Flies For 50 Minutes, Streams HD From Over 3 Miles · · Score: 1

    50 Minutes and 3 miles doesn't really sound like enough time or distance for military or police operations really.

    Huh? 50 minutes is an insanely long time for a 5lb quad copter and 3+ miles is a fantastic distance. Most consumer grade multicopters use 2200ish mAh batteries and fly for about TEN MINUTES. When would police ever be 3 miles from something? What possible purpose would an infrared camera serve for the paparazzi? There are MUCH better MUCH cheaper alternatives for the paparazzi.

    Link please. Needs 3+ mile range, fly in 40mph sustained winds, fly for 50 minutes, weigh 5 lbs, have GPS, 1080p video streaming, 256bit encryption, infrared camera and touch based control system that allows flying by waypoint. Please show me the 'several companies" that sells these for "a few hundred $$".

  5. Re:Huh what is IOS and DDWRT then on A Peek At Google's Software-Defined Network · · Score: 1

    This is for a network under a single administrative control not the entire Internet. Eg: An ISP, a datacenter, an enterprise campus, etc.

    SDN is separating the control plane functions from your network devices and centralizing. Yes, there is a lot of hype around it.

    Don't cry Yankees, you did the same to your own native peoples, and worse.

    ...and paid for it ever since. But I guess anyone who's ever done anything wrong can never criticize anyone else. It's the ironic and hilarious pervasive "wisdom" of the Internet. Never ceases to give me a chuckle.

    Personally I'm tired of feeling guilty - I don't give a shit.

    Here's written 39 articles this year alone for ZDNet. Three of them have been linked here. He works for a major tech news site and writes about linux and open source. I fail to see the problem. I'm surprised he isn't linked to MORE often. You're insane. Put away the tinfoil hat.

  10. Re:not where from, where to? on World of Warcraft Loses 1.3 Million Players in First Quarter of 2013 · · Score: 1

    None of those fights were "burn down the boss". They were HIGHLY COMPLEX. We can argue over whether it was "hard" until we're blue in the face, but they were never what we referred to as "tank and spank" fights. Everyone had to read the strat and watch videos to execute those fights. Kael was like a rehearsed dance that just took tons of practice.

    I don't understand. I said originally that many people can have/use more than 1 device. You saying that some can't doesn't make me wrong, and it doesn't make the people who can afford both somehow incorrect. What is your point exactly?

  20. Re:If you already spent your budget on an iPad on Bill Gates: iPad Users Are Frustrated They Can't Type Or Create Documents · · Score: 1

    If you have to chose one or the other, then yes that would be true. For many (many) people, you can have both.

  21. A lot (a whole fucking lot) of "business" is email and web browsing. Many of those people you see are executives or management in some form so it works great for their use case. Most don't need an office suite, or use it so infrequently, they also have a desktop PC or laptop for when they need to. Shit our regional staff used to survive on nothing but a blackberry, don't ask me how. I mean, at this point, I don't see how people still wave the "it's a fad" flag. People somehow think it's a zero sum game. If you have an iPad you can't do any work. Sometimes an iPad is the right device, sometimes you need a full desktop PC.
