  1. Re:Convicted Felon vs License Payers on BBC's iPlayer To Be Crossplatform · · Score: 3, Informative

    Please get a clue before posting. This is a *big* issue and your showing your inability to read.

    Everyone in the UK pays TV tax. Said tax goes to the BBC.
    See the problem? The BBC has to provide people with the content.

    This isnt your standard DRM case.

  2. Re:Why only 100,000 times on Hynix 48-GB Flash MCP · · Score: 1

    I thought that only writes were impaired, reads didn't affect the flash at all.

    Your explanation would mean that both reads and writes degrade the flash.

    Um...It would be a *AIR FLOW* baseline, not a alcohol baseline.

    Hey your tinfoil hat is slipping off. Better put it on more securely.

    It would be rather ironic if tomorrow you got hit by a driver who was drunk behind the wheel.

  5. Re:Can you say "class action" ? on Comcast Forging Packets To Filter Torrents · · Score: 1

    Your correct of course. If you want a net connection which is X speed 24/7 then you get a dedicated pipe.

    Problem: If ISPs continue to go down this road, the net will very quickly die.
    Comcast could just say "Lets cut costs and make everyone share a single 10mbps pipe. Their TOS will state that they can view 10 websites and send 1 email per day."
    Not a appealing future imho.

    It *may* be IQ related.

    Open Word/OOo and hit Print. The output will be whats left of the Bible after all the literally false stuff is removed.

    Ok sure its a little too powerful but it beats spending a week with a highlighter. :P

    Some things I dont bother trying to understand. I can sense a headache coming and I back off.

    The guy who invented scientology must have found a rather potent drug combination.
    Thats the only thing I can think of which could have produced that drivel.

    If you RTFS, you would see that he used the non-commercial CC licence.
    That means that they cant sell it which they are doing.

  10. Re:Native? on New Google Apps For Linux Coming · · Score: 1
    The winelib page disagrees with you:

    Compiling apps under Winelib should theoretically involve only makefile changes. In practice, you will encounter header problems, and the likes

    Since Google has the source to their windows software, there is no reason at all why they wouldnt just recompile it with winelib for Linux.
  11. Re:Native? on New Google Apps For Linux Coming · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that winelib was used to essentially convert the source code in to native code.
    Thats why it requires source and it spits out a nice native binary at the end.

    Instead of dynamically translating API calls, it does it at compile time.

    Multicast would solve many things. Video and Audio streams would benefit a lot.

    I think your mixing up sat nav with GPS.

    A GPS is very very cheap, draws very little power and can probably be just a little chip.
    I picked a bluetooth GPS off ebay for $40 AUD including a new battery (compatible with Nokia batteries) and shipping.

    A sat nav over here on average costs $500 on the other hand.

    Firefox should kill any bad javascript automatically.

    Well the source for ID's older games is released anyway.

    I personally would prefer if lawsuits and stuff didnt come out.
    ID has been one of the first to port their games to Linux.
