  2. Re:Haha! on Interview With a Convicted 419 Scammer · · Score: 1

    When was the last time you had to pay the cops for a stolen wallet or purse that belonged to you?

    Very clever. I mean only those foolish enough to fall for the first scam could possibly be foolish enough to fall for that line. "John" clearly knows his target audience.

    There is nothing clever about it. How can you be surprised that they keep coming back for more?

    Are you alluding that you're using Cygwin under Win7? Why not just say so..

  4. Re:They don't like supporting it on HandBrake Abandons DivX As an Output Format · · Score: 1

    whoops, that should have been:

      as "user friendly" as Handbrake.

    cheers.

  5. Re:They don't like supporting it on HandBrake Abandons DivX As an Output Format · · Score: 1

    Ffmpeg doesn't appear to be as "user friendly" as ffmpeg.

    From what I understand, Handbrake is super easy to use, with a bloated interface that people love.

  6. Double plus good ..erm bad. on HandBrake Abandons DivX As an Output Format · · Score: 1

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves. DivX Plus players of the future? Wouldn't that be MKV devices of the future?

    The bottom line is that these developers deserve to be ridiculed for their user-hostile decisions!

    cheerio mate.

  7. Re:They don't like supporting it on HandBrake Abandons DivX As an Output Format · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sure, it's an annoyance, but when you are the premiere open-source solution for something as like video encoding, I think there is (or at least should be) a duty to at least keep the older releases around. Especially if they are a dropping features that were supported in the older versions. If the developers arrangement is so cluttered that they can't be bothered to keep the old releases available, then that points to ineptitude and makes for poor relations with the user-base. File management is not that hard compared to the groundbreaking features these developers are implementing. If they can't be reasonable and/or nice about things, perhaps someone else will step up to the plate and fork the project, because that's probably what it would take to get things into a sane state of being.

    Annoying the users just opens the window for someone else to step in.

  8. Re:Kurt Greenbaum, you are stupid, puritanical scu on Vulgar Comment On Newspaper Site Costs Man His Job · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wow, that is surprising. What an unethical action to take on Greenbaum's part. Is there somewhere we can report this?

    Wouldn't it be nice if this were NOT vapor? I'd like to see Michael J. Fox be able to stay around as long as possible.

    Here's to hoping this pans out. Cheers.

    thanks for following up.

    To the best of my understanding, Greece, and later on, Rome, both loved having slaved perform the less desirable work and labor. Can you back up your claims?

  13. How about a tally? on EFF Launches "Takedown Hall of Shame" · · Score: 1

    I think given the high volume of abuse by some of these people, wouldn't some sort of tally/grouping work better? Also, what exactly are the criteria being employed by the EFF here?

  14. They still are crap compared to Fusion-io on Intel Updates SSDs, Supports TRIM, Faster Writes · · Score: -1, Troll

    What the article fails to mention, is that Fusion-io devices still clobber these things in terms of performance.

  15. Re:Another example on App Store Developer Speaks Out On Game Piracy · · Score: 1

    Nice slippery slope fallacy and quasi-random/unbacked claims on what we're going to "start seeing". Pfft.

  16. What is the ETA? on NCSU's Fingernail-Size Chip Can Hold 1TB · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sounds promising, but how many months/years/decades before we can reasonably expect to see this used on a wide scale?

  17. Re:Sound cannon in action on G20 Protesters Blasted By "Sound Cannon" · · Score: 1

    Wow, just wow. Is there any hope for our race? :(

  18. Yet Another Sky Is Falling on Japan's Cell Phones May Get DRM, At Music Industry Behest · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Defective by design, as usual. I'm sure firmware hacks/mods will be created if this were to be implemented on a wide scale. No worries, really.

    For your headaches.. have you tried drinking more water? Do you regularly drink 8 large glasses every 24 hours? If not, your headaches or migraines may very well becaused by dehydration. This may seem obvious, but the reality is that many computer/engineering types walk around dehydrated all the time. Hence their nasty breath.

    Good Luck.
