  1. this or that, same diff? on What Differentiates Linux from Windows? · · Score: 1

    linux is free, windows is not, linux is open, windows is not, linux has blahFS, windows has ntfs, this is quick, that is not, this is bloat, that is not bloat... whatever, they both do the same thing --give users an interface to do stuff on the gadget they have. this or that doesnt matter, yah yah, but you can do everything that can do in this, plus infinity^3. so what, doesnt matter to me. security- a valid point, but hey, depends on the size of the target, meh, both have security and both are improving but what matters is crummy business practices, stifiling progression and hurting the spirit that is the spark of this whole thing that is computing. possible conspiring with big brother back doors and the like --also not good. thats why i linux, that is why alternatives are preferrable to i. technology is more or less the same, but its the philosophy that is paramount just opine that gets thrown with wreckless beercap abandon, no time to read, plenty to blather

  2. they said it would happen... on Losing Control of Your TV · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling the transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner party to the Target Market.

    all your base are belong to us.

  3. craptastic on Who Needs Radio? · · Score: 1

    radio is bunk as long as fcc has a say. radio free burlington was shut down for having a different political view (socialist). they dropped the hammer on them for exercising free speech. but hey, since when has speech been free? ][ in other news, a woman died today. time for morning calisthenics.

  4. crispy? on X17 Solar Flare Sends 2B Tons of Plasma at Earth · · Score: 1

    ...anyone without 2,000,000 sunblock is going to have a really bad day.
