  1. Re:Was I the only one? on Former TigerDirect President Indicted In $230 Million Laundering Scheme · · Score: 1

    I never ordered from TigerDirect. The prices were good. Too good. I was always concerned I was missing something and would get genuine Kingsten memory, or a sweet Inntel Processor.

    Me too. Then we got to move on to using basic of some kind. When we got the IIgs, arkanoid became a huge distraction from logo and basic.

    Or maybe one where the purpose is to design and build a blog system, where the actual system is what is important, and not the sample posts used for testing ? I guess the lack of information presented is just another sign of the youth having degraded mental abilities. He didn't list the primary objectives, he just bitched about grammar used in blog posts, which may or may not even be relevant to what the class is trying to achieve.

    One in using the new medias to attract and retain eyeballs ?
    Maybe the course is graded by something more important than the English abused in the posts
    • Does the hit rate increase over time ?
    • Does the site attract a global audience ?
    • Does the site get repeat visits ?
    • How many minutes does a viewer spend on the site ?
    • How much of your content is actually ever seen ?
    • How many people link to your content ?

    I think there are many ways to evaluate a successful blog, besides the correctness of the grammar.

    You are in over your head. Buy a pogoplug and some usb2 hubs. Connect your drives to the hubs and they appear as unified file system on your clients. Or, if you need better performance accessing the data, call an expert.

  8. I do big data on Introducing SlashBI · · Score: 1

    That site offended me. From the mass of stock photograghy, to the lack of content, that site was offensive. I was asked to check it out, but I sure won't be following that POS. It hurts to look at it. Someone should be looking for a new job for showing that to the public.

  10. Re:killed? on Google 'Wasting' $16 Billion On Projects Headed Nowhere · · Score: 1

    If they could sell ads via a wind farm, they would be working on it. Googles interest in driverless cars is to remove the driving so they can present more ads. Googles interest in fibre is to get higher bandwidth to people, so they can show them more effective ads. Google is an advertising company. Their interest is in getting more ads to more people.

  11. On Google on Google 'Solve For X' Website Goes Live · · Score: 2

    Googles wants to make cars that drive themselves a reality; driving is a major distraction from the advertising they would like to present you. Google wants to make your fridge know what you eat; knowledge of diet lets them show you ads related to shopping you must do. Google wants to develop advertising into all aspects of life. I think I just solved for X.

    Three of my best friends and one professional photographers I hang out with have them. I have spent a lot of time with the camera. They are very nice, but i will not give Sony my money.

  14. +1 two suggestions on Ask Slashdot: Mirrorless, Interchangeable Lens Camera Advice? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I wont own a Sony because I have personal issues against the entire brand, but the NEX5 NEX7 cameras are awesome at photos and video. The manual controls are easy to use, and the auto settings produce great photos. The only down side to the camera is that it feels like a cell phone that somebody turned into a camera. The sensor is world class tho, and there are adapters to mount old range finder glass onto it. The panasonic micro four thrids cameras are all great. The GX1 with the pancake zoom lens could be really appealing to you. You would also be happy with the GF3 if you want more auto features and features in general, and maybe the G3 if a more traditional dslr inspired design fits your hands better.

    Really ? You know, if one can't find particles that a model predicts, the model is likely to be crap. Being able to validate a model, lends credit to assumptions made in developing the model.

    No, they are not citizens, they are now property of the State. They can hold elections and have their elected government dissolved. They do not have a functional vote..

    Texas is anti-science. Texas is where anti-science text books get rubber stamped for use in schools across the country. I'm rather glad we aren't sending historical artifacts from when we led in Science and Engineering to the state that most directly destroys science education in this country.

  25. Re:Enjoy! on RIAA Lobbyist Becomes Federal Judge, Rules On File-Sharing Cases · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Fascism, with its merging of corporate, political, and military power, is almost complete in America. Too much 'rah rah USA, we so free, we so great, god just loves United States !', from a young age. Brainwashed people don't see it coming. Those who do go crazy trying to get others to see it. Even today, people who own a car, or a home, or even a business think they are part of the ownership class. They cheer the corporations on as if they will benefit. They believe they are part of the people who own enough wealth to create international policy, national policy, and military support of that policy. Silly people, they think they are part of the rich, when all they make is hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. If you aren't making governments bend to your desire, you are not part of the ownership class.
