  1. Why not bigger? on Iron Man-like Exoskeleton Nears Production · · Score: 1

    If your going to plan on having a tethered version why not make it bigger?

    it also seems like Webkit has been leading the pack when it comes to implementing advanced HTML5 features

    Don't it though! It is like the Firefox guys are more concerned with where you put book marks and the uri text box.

  4. Positive feedback loop 2 on IBM Plays SimCity With Portland, Oregon · · Score: 1

    Provide high speed network to the entire city. More people will stay home because they can work and play from home. Then there will be fewer people on the roads, buses, trains, and in the parks and libraries. Slash the budget for those services like you plan to any way.

    How long before "democratic countries" start talking about phones like they talk about guns? Will we have to listen to chants like, "Phones don't kill people. People kill people." and "Phones don't piss people off enough to kill people. People piss off people enough to kill people."

    As someone that worked for a law firm that handled removing people from land in Waxahachie when I was in college, your frightenly close to the truth. Not that I could prove intent but, he helped doom the supercollider project knowing most removals would end up going to be sold off at a fraction of what the government was paying. When W was moved out and he moved up he knowingly, IMHO, set it up for the juniors (w.bush & perot) to pick up the land for $1/acre. Perot Jr. has morals and things with W were too hot so Hunt ended up with it. Though I'd bet my left nut W ended up with plenty from it in a "lateral". Anyway. Everybody in Texas knows he has been making side money off of pushing people off of their land for years. It would be nice for some hard evidence to come forward while he is running for president. Hopefully that much spot light will shake the tree hard enough.

  13. Actual solutions on 8 Ways To Circumvent the PROTECT-IP Act · · Score: 2

    I thought there were going to be some legit solutions in TFA but... So here are a few that will actually work.

    1) Create a DNSSec DNS service that runs over an "unblockable" encrypted protocol. For example, DNS over HTTPS. Blocking HTTPS traffic would fuck the people pushing this legislation in addition to banks, online shops, online services, etc...

    2) Build a completely open wireless network using participation, pwnd phones, pwnd wireless, radio packet technologies, even pidgeons.

    3) Revolt. None of this "vote them out of office" bullshit. If your congresscritter votes for this type of legislation go to their house, drag them into the street, beat them to death with a stick. I guarantee the next one will vote against it. If not. rinse. repeat.

    Open a single application on a remote machine with RDP (not a whole desktop just one application), cut content, then paste it into an application running via RDP on a third machine. You cant even do the first part with RDP. If someone walked up to my computer while I was away, assuming I was stupid enough not to lock it, they would think I had two instances of Code::Blocks up on my machine. There is no way of knowing they are opened from two remote machines. There is no performance lag, no restrictions on moving data around, with the exception of doing a ps and lsof -i it is undetectable. That is Xnest. Now for Xming. I've had the misfortune of being stuck on a windows machine on several occasions. The first thing I do is start an Xming session back to my desktop. Then I start an ssh tunnel session and a samba session from my desktop back to the POS I'm stuck working on so I can transfer data back and forth. I've actually had people ask me "what did you do to that machine" because they didn't realize I had my desktop up full screen. With RDP you get tearing and lag and shit pixelization.

    Actually my post was about the tech industry being follow the leaders and doing the easy stuff and PIM's (not Linux) being good for stupid people. ie. The tech industry is doing the easy thing and following the leader --> PIM interfaces. As far as my thoughts on Linux... I don't think it is being dumbed down. The Linux front is better than ever. I couldn't possibly list all of the improvements to the kernel off the top of my head. libuuid and gdisk are two things in GNU space I can think of that are REALLY cool up and comers if you want to confuse Linux with GNU bits and pieces. Still my opinion stands on the GUI front, focusing on the easy stuff and chasing the stupid user at the expense of something brilliant is bad.
