    didn't these morons even read the friggin wikipedia article?

    Haven't you heard? Wikipedia's articles are CC-BY-SA free content. They are the scum of the copyright universe. ASCAP wouldn't dare touch them with their ten-foot serrated penis of rights-rape.

    Thank you for your input. We promise only to use it to remake Home Improvement as a feature film with unknown stars, no plot, and a cameo by Tim Allen. We also promise that you will watch it and love it, and that your purchases of popcorn and nachos will determine the next ads you see on iVillage. (Google told us about your...history there.)

    Sincerely,

    I think you're doing it wrong.

    No, Mordok is just enlightened. Dodos and their eggs exist. It's just that the New World Order (Obama, BP, and McDonald's) don't want us to see them.

    Same with the beautiful hookers: us commoners are stuck with the cheap ones that turn out to be FBI, CIA, or shemale. It's the NWO's fault!

  6. Re:Fill 'er up! on DTV Transition - One Year Later · · Score: 1

    Depending on their progress you may be able to project when "over the air" TV goes off the air. My estimate would be 2020.

    Given that a cable company (Comcast) has NBC, I think that's generous and would bet on 2015.

    Which would be a shame, because now TV would be in complete control of Comcast, Cablevision, and their quite-dishonorable ilk. If you do not see why that's a problem, you don't see well enough.

  10. Re:What, no colour? on Why Beatrix Potter Would Love a Digital Reader · · Score: 1

    her watercolour illustrations include colour, something the Kindle can't do yet.

    The Kindle also lacks water, and would surely be damaged by it.

    So it probably isn't even half of what Potter had in mind.

    Why not? It keeps objectifying itself with those short comments, that skimpy running time, those perfect indentations...

    It's just begging for it.

    But what if the Naked Cowboy decides to protest this technology by wearing a stuffed bra in front of one?

    When the AI's that detailed, nuance is needed and false positives are all the more dangerous.

    Your comment is startlingly relevant. I'd talk about how Mr. "Do I feel lucky" should've asked her "Well, do ya, punk?" before her walk, but I've been kinda beaten to it.

  18. Re:Fake AVs on Three Indicted In Scareware Scam That Netted $100M · · Score: 1

    PE is a beauty. The only thing it really misses is Task Manager's Up Time clock (Performance tab), which appears to be the only way in Windows to get the total system up time exclusive of standbys and hibernates. (Other methods, and I've tried many, just count time from boot. Let me know if I missed one.)

    If that makes it to PE, I'd happily let even malware delete taskmgr.

  19. Re:live stream on Flash Destroyer Tests Limit of Solid State Storage · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Doesn't multicast help any? Given a bunch of people who want to view the same exact stream, the server should be sending the same packets and letting the viewers' players deal with sync, starting at a key frame (and not in the middle of some crumbly diff frames), et cetera. With that, the server could just concentrate on the list of viewers' IPs, send packets far less often, and the /. arson fails.

    Live streams, to me, seem easier than webpages because the viewer always wants the current frames of a live video but may want any portion of any other pages.

  25. Re:Why I switched from Cablevision to FIOS on Revenge of the Cable Customer · · Score: 1

    My chief gripe with Cablevision is not that they have bad service (at least from a TV technical standpoint, as they have a ton of channels that rarely drop if at all), or even that they try to maintain their monopoly on coverage area and programming while trying to avoid carrying broadcast stations, but that they wield monopoly power in other areas and make Comcast and Microsoft look utterly inept at it, and it barely registers on Slashdot.

    Sadly, I know people that, in their words, "need" these vile cowards' cable. It's like I have a truth mom on my back.
