  1. Texas law allows for the immediate death of someone whom has committed a felony and poses an immediate, continuing, and grave threat to the public, of which the police force is a part.

    In fact, many states have this specific exemption. It's called justifiable homicide.

    The guy shot cops, continued to shoot at cops instead of stopping and surrendering after killing the first one to make their statement, and was firing in a public demonstration, posing a risk to the present public, not just the police.

  3. " What Tavis found is that running vulnerable A/V software adds a large and easily-exploitable attack surface to your system."

    I would argue he didn't find shit. Stupidity like this has been known since startkeylogger/stopkeylogger in Norton products. He's only re-iterating that AV products are simply shit, much like other 'security' solutions ACs tend to post here.

    You could do this with OpenGL 1.0 if you wrote the extensions yourself and had the proper hardware.

  5. "our little pee shooters are no match for the goverment's toys."

    YOURS might not be. I know plenty of guys (mostly rednecks) with gun cabinets that have enough weaponry to knock out most any police station.

  6. UNINTERRUPTED MUSIC.

    Packet loss during handoff is a total enjoyment killer for audio.

    Additional storage or GTFO. I also want INSTANT access to my music, which a wifi connection will not do.

  7. Your additional calculations are absolutely horrid, you must be one of those Brazilians that gets charged out the ass for electronic equipment. I can get a case with 500w power supply for $10. HDMI cable for $1. Your pricing and shopping capabilities FUCKING SUCK, no wonder you can't save money. I've got maybe 60 spare hard drives lying around from various computer servicing (all of them bigger than anything the PS4 comes with.)

    Tall building, 5-20x more surface area on a side versus on the rooftop. Even at dawn and dusk, you're still getting a great deal of light for the sides to harvest. Come about 9AM till 11AM and then from about 2PM-5PM your roof and side(s) (location and orientation-dependent) are working, you're getting a lot of power.

    "The solar doesn't scale well when buildings are designed to minimize footprint and maximize height."

    That's because you idiots refuse to cover the sun-facing sides with solar. You only ever touch the roof and ignore this huge freaking swath of unused photon-exposed space.

  10. The PS3 is as fast as the PS4 in raw number crunching - 2TFLOPS total system power.

    Almost all of that being GPU.

    The Jaguar in the PS4 is only ~50 GFLOPs. An AMD Athlon II 640 gets really close to that for $40, at only half the core count.

    The Geforce 660 matches the GPU in the PS4 on Performance - $99.

    Motherboard for $40. 16GB of RAM for $50.

    That's 'on par' for $230. Imagine what I can do with that extra $120.

    " it's very, very obvious that the currency exists solely for the benefit of the companies that produce the ASICs that allow the computational complexity of the algorithms to grow."

    That's fairly narrow-minded thinking. What about all those *SERVICES* (Like bitcoin ATMs) to provide as well?

    It's more than just to drive the sale of ASICs.

  12. Son, if you had advertised ANYWHERE, odds are I would've heard about your product.

    That I know jack shit about your product tells me you didn't advertise right at all.

    This is business FACT.

    And this is why I did not bother with Bitcoin. That currency value is way too high for its own good and was bound to attract the greedy Chinese speculators once it started gaining 'value.' It is seriously hyper-inflated. I do better with mining and selling gems and mineral samples.

    Plane autopilots are roughly the exact same thing as Tesla's autopilot. They maintain the course and altitude and speed, and that's about it. It does NOT auto-prevent mid-air collisions or bird strikes, etc. You need to be paying attention in order to stop that.

    I know what autopilot means. It ain't what YOU think it means, obviously.

    Notice something off in that picture? How can the last-run check for updates be NEVER if the fucking last date of download and install was just a few days ago?

    I also guess you failed to notice that someone won their little court fight against Microsoft. It's been a story posted here in the past week.

    Go back to school and learn some law; you could stand to do so.

    I had updates turned off - they got turned back on thanks to another well-known company which many have their software installed.

    Hint - it's an online games distribution platform.

    Like I said, my attorneys are salivating, not just because Microsoft, but also because of this other company involved. There's a FUCKTON of money that is about to get passed around from both guilty parties.

    And if I'm lucky, it will be the LAST thing Microsoft gets to do with ANY Windows. I figured out how they got their updates through even though I had Windows Update Disabled. Took some system log reading and double-checking time stamps from the OS.

  23. "We need proper 4k support"

    Proper '4k' support has been in Photoshop since the 90s. I've worked with imagery 2x-4x that resolution since the days when JASC's Paint Shop Pro was actual competition.

    "some of the modern tools that CS6 lacks"

    Almost everything Photoshop does is lock-step with what GIMP does (GIMP had picture healing and other features first.) How about you get used to a new UI and go with something free?
