  1. That doesn't make any sense unless you are running your client on the router

  2. Re:100% DRM. Always Was. on Microsoft is Working on its Own Game Streaming, Netflix-Like Service (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The end of Net Neutrality will make this incomprehensibly terrible. You will be paying 2+ entities to make a game work.

  3. Re: Not news. on Bitcoin Tumbles Most in Two Weeks Amid South Korea Hack (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Cryptocurrency has some value in the fact that it has an immutable, undeleteable record of a transaction.

  4. Re:No, few people are, thus dropping half its valu on Bitcoin Tumbles Most in Two Weeks Amid South Korea Hack (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It has more to do with the MtGox coin liquidation. The current price is what the coins are selling at. Someone is buying them. Someone is always buying them

  5. There is value in being able to transact in a way that is immutable/undeletable and available to everyone.

  6. Meanwhile ATI was under siege by nVidia and couldn't really contribute much and there wasn't really all that much gained by APUs over discrete/integrated graphics

    That is just false. AMDs APU graphics could/can actually play games worth a salt.

    If XML isn't the solution to your problem, you aren't using enough

  8. The only time they can force you to take a blood test, is if you were in an accident, and someone was hurt/killed, then you can be compelled.

    Driving impaired is a criminal offense. Refuse all you want. If they have probable cause, you can refuse everything, they are going to arrest you and take your blood anyway. There is no clever way to get yourself out of a DUI.

  9. They simply revoke your license.

    Naive. Don't try this folks. You will forfeit you license under the civil contract you broke with the Department of Transportation. And they *WILL* use that as evidence against you in a criminal case.

    Some people think they are so clever until they are *actually* up against the system.

    No. Simply search for a song in the search box (stupidly labeled "Create Station") and you can play it

  11. I swear everyone forgets what a turd XP was before SP2

  12. This has very little to do with the USPS anyway. Trump bloody hates Bezos because he owns the Washington Post, which regularly publishes stuff unflattering to Trump and his circle of friends

    I think it is far more likely we are running into relativistic situation. The outer rim will rotate the fastest but it can only approach the speed of light, so time needs to start slowing down. Perhaps on a large enough scale, we hit the magic point that the article speaks of

  16. Re:charge back when best buy fails will change the on How Your Returns Are Used Against You At Best Buy, Other Retailers (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    It is sad you got upvoted because this is horseshit. The UCC states that the buyer must accept pay for goods when the seller had delivered, unless a contract between the buyer and seller says otherwise. It also states that the buyer has the right to inspect goods before making payment, at which time they can decide whether or not to accept delivery from the seller.

    Once the optional step of goods being inspected, delivery is accepted by the buyer and payment is made (which is understood to happen concurrently unless there is a separate contract as stated above), that is it. The transaction is complete and the UCC offers no more protections.

  17. Re:How about fucking FOLDER SIZES microsoft? on Windows 10 Is Finally Adding Tabs To File Explorer (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    It really isn't that simple. You would have to spider the directory structure below the folder to get the total size. And being NTFS, you aren't dealing with just flat files. There is metadata and streams out the ears. So, let's say you do that. You could maybe cache the filesize and even with all of the fancy events and file system objects to let you know when something was MAYBE changed, you have no guarantee that it hasn't been touched outside of the currently running system at any point.

    If you enable the indexing service, then it will do just that. And it is as inconsistent as one would expect

    So, are you and shanen the same person, or are you both robots shilling the same propoganda, or are you just trying to boost your karma rating by copypasting someone elses reply and tacking it onto a top level comment?

    That isn't how it works at all. Your transfers, buys and sells are all "virtual"... internal until you actually withdraw.

    This sounds like propaganda to get you to agree that specialist should work for minimum wage. Believe me, you want that engineer that designs the office building building you work in or the house you live in, to be certified

  25. Please on Why Windows Vista Ended Up Being a Mess (usejournal.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    In hindsight, Linux has been more successful in this respect. The open source community and approach to software development is undoubtedly part of the solution. The modular and pluggable architecture of Unix/Linux is also a big architectural improvement in this respect

    Try to run a 2.4 binary on modern linux. No fucking way. 2.2 or 2.0? You have to be out of your bloody mind.

    Backward compatibility is absolute bullshit for Linux.
