  1. Re:When will it work in Seamonkey and Firefox on Native Netflix Support Is Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

    Why haven't I never thought about emulating the server on the client. Thanks for the idea!

    The only downside is that playon.tv doesn't support HD content on XBMC.

  2. Re:When will it work in Seamonkey and Firefox on Native Netflix Support Is Coming To Linux · · Score: 2

    Requiring a running server is IMHO against the idea of having a HTPC.

    Does playon.tv support HD content from Netflix?

  3. Why not Elop? on Reports Say Satya Nadella Is Microsoft's Next CEO · · Score: 3, Funny

    Elop did a fantastic job managing Nokia.

    I didn't even think about the actual point from the Chinese point of view...

  5. Discount Win 8.1 on China Has a Massive Windows XP Problem · · Score: 1

    IMHO, the best solution might be a a new round of massive discounts after Windows 8.1 is released. This applies also elsewhere than just China. The only solution to get people to adopt Windows 8 is to get them to upgrade from Windows 7 and a really cheap price like $19.99 is the only option for MS.

  6. Re:Here is one thing that I do notice on Android Co-Founder: Fragmentation "an Overblown Issue" · · Score: 2

    Defy XT does have an "official" update to ICS but it was only released in China. There is a guide how to flash it to your phone as well. Obviously I am not responsible if anything goes wrong.

    I haven't learned how to draw in 40 years and I certainly do not enjoy drawing.

    Taking a rapid CRP test from a patient should give your wife and other GP's the argument against/for antibiotics. CRP 10 = no antibiotics.

    Exactly!

  12. With money? on Ask Slashdot: How To Get Old Commercial Software To Be Open-Sourced? · · Score: 1

    I've been toying with the idea lately. Create a Kickstarter-type website where companies could ask certain amount of money for a game/program and if the goal is reached they will release the source.

  13. Re:Who cares? on Microsoft Phasing Out Office Starter Edition · · Score: 1

    I bought a desktop for our nursing station at work. The requirement was: "as cheap as possible" so I got them a basic HP desktop with Windows 7 and Office Starter. Add to that Windows Live Mail and Powerpoint Viewer and everything works perfectly and looks like a regular office PC.

    Nursing home where I work at the moment has a extremely tight budget and the money we have goes to taking care of the patients.

  14. Re:which OTHER ati card should I buy? on AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition: Taking Back the Crown · · Score: 1

    I would recommend HD7770 as it consumes a lot less power compared to HD5770/6770 and the cheapest ones cost around $110 - $120.

  15. Embrace, extend and extinguish on Nokia To Cut 10,000 Jobs and Close 3 Facilities · · Score: 1

    This looks like the start of the extinguish phase of Microsoft's plan.

    As a Finn I am really fucking pissed off at Elop and the Nokia board who let this happen.

    I am willing to pay a $500 price premium to any company that is willing to sell me a laptop that has a standard sized keyboard. I type 50 pages of text or code per week. IT IS WORTH IT TO ME

    I bought this Acer Aspire for my wife about three years ago for the exact same reason, although hers has a Core i5 instead of AMD.

  20. Re:Crappy AMD drivers?! on AMD/ATI Video Drivers: Unsafe At Any Speed · · Score: 1

    I've never encountered any major problems with either NVIDIA's or AMD/ATI's drivers on Windows. Just couple of weeks ago I had a GT520 that I installed to a HTPC and just couldn't get it working. Turns out it was the motherboard that wasn't compatible.

  23. Rovio on Fox News Ties 'Flame' Malware To Angry Birds · · Score: 1

    Ok, this is a secret so don't go telling anyone.

    Angry Birds is a Finnish conspiracy AND an attack plan for our inevitable assault on Iran. It also funds the Finnish military.

    Did you think think that the name Rovio (=stake or huge-ass bonfire) is just a coincidence?
