  1. Re:What instead of Flash? on Adobe Stops Flash Player Support For Android · · Score: 1

    The guys behind Newgrounds are the developers of GBA, GameCube, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360 and PS3 games. Castle Crashers alone was massive. Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean they aren't notable.

    I went from ion3 to wmii to i3. wmii was the biggest mistake of my life. I actually tried awesome when I was interviewing new WMs, and i3 kicked awesome's butt.

    Uhhh.... okay. Friends claim there is no fight, fine. They still hit a random guy with their car: http://vimeo.com/30307440 I'm no fan of vigilantism and I think he was being a self-righteous ass in this instance, but there WAS crime being committed, people were getting attacked.

  7. Re:Marketing on RMS: 'Is Android Really Free Software?' · · Score: 1

    SInce we are talking about Google vs. Apple, here, I think bringing Amazon into the picture is a bit off topic.

  8. Re:Curious focus on RMS: 'Is Android Really Free Software?' · · Score: 1

    I seriously doubt Google's only profits from Android are just ads. They probably charge phone manufacturers licensing fees for the software. They probably take a percentage of the profits for downloaded sales on the marketplace. Not saying that these account for all the money, but you are only looking at one of their incomes.

    They could be still losing money, though. I don't think they are since they are footing the bill for a lot of phones, but who knows. I certainly don't care as long as they aren't going to drop out of the market anytime soon, which I highly doubt.

    Tech savvy Indian people, at least those around me, already have 2 facebook accounts. 1 for real use, with a fake name like you say, and one for family. Apparently families in India are crazy about facebook stuff.

  13. Re:Just to get the facts straight on GPGPU Bitcoin Mining Trojan · · Score: 1

    In my view, BitCoins should NEVER be adopted mainstream. It's fine if they exist, but we should not build societies on it. The problem is that it uses computationally complex equations as well as cryptography. Over time, hardware gets better, software gets better, and it's really easy to completely destroy an economy based on it.

    Counterfeiting in fiat currency can at least be phased out for newer bills. You can't just change the algorithms of BitCoin, unless you want to make a BitCoin v2...

  18. Re:Seroquel not Antidepressant on Drug Companies Lose Special Protection On Facebook · · Score: 1

    That's exactly my point. It may have effects that can tertiarily treat depression and bipolar, there are better medications out there such as antidepressants themselves or mood stabilizers for bipolar. These should be used first, and antipsychotics used second... but thats not how they are prescribed. I was also talking about the specific classification of the drug. The summary makes it sound like it's a SSRI.

  19. Seroquel not Antidepressant on Drug Companies Lose Special Protection On Facebook · · Score: 5, Informative

    Seroquel is NOT an antidepressant, and doctors need to stop prescribing it as if it were. Seroquel is an atypical antipsychotic, used to treat psychosis.

    All of the current atypical antipsychotics have the WORST side effects imaginable (more so than antidepressants), so they need to start using them as they are designed to be used. For instance, I was on Seroquel for 1 month, and the person that took me off of it was the ER doctor that I was taken to after collapsing for no real reason.

    These doctors need to stop messing around with serious medication. In my case, it was necessary, in most other cases, FFS use something else.

  21. Re:Can someone explain this logic? on DHS Creating Database of Secret Watchlists · · Score: 1

    No, it would only stop crime from people who were being surveilled. Some unknown arms dealer would still conduct his operations, and with this law in place, he would be MORE comfortable doing MORE crime since he would know that he wasn't being surveilled.

    That would be absolutely brilliant if Anonymous' plan is to release their own anonymous social network that date. I'm serious. It would show they actually had intelligence.

    I honestly have no opinion either way right now because I consider myself uninformed, especially in this instance, but can someone explain this logic? > arguing the Privacy Act says DHS must notify subject of government surveillance. Surely this is silly... If you notify everyone you are conducting surveillance against, you would never stop any crime at all, right?
