  1. Re:Worst Comments Ever on Raspberry Pi Now Has Distributors -- and Will Soon Have Boards for All (Video) · · Score: 3, Funny

    The majority of posters sounds about thirteen, and demonstrate the worldliness to match.

    Well, they did say their demographic was schoolkids.

    The guy sitting next to 'that single (core) guy' is the one with the pocket protector talking about how his "single socket, single upper layer core, which combines the power of 128 microprocs in an 8 core assembly for a whopping 1024 hidden 1mhz cores - almost 1 Ghz of raw power"

    Not my current one, but I have bought cars for less.

  6. Re:You can't eliminate them on Obama Pushes For Cheaper Pennies · · Score: 1

    Dang, they need to start putting dimes in a roll, they could market them for tolls. At least then the locals would be able to not pay the extra 10 cents ...



    sheesh.

  7. Re:And that is what really stiffles innovation on Leaked Zynga Memo Justifies Copycat Strategy · · Score: 1

    How many cookies are there? Not knowing doesn't make them not yummy. The difference is I don't have to obey the theories (or the cookies, though they call my name).

  8. Re:Loss of Service is more annoying on EFF Seeking Information of Legal Users of Megaupload · · Score: 1

    That makes sense. For what it is worth, you can upload as a zip & it will parse it to individual files. I like that it automatically makes smaller versions (not just thumbnails) to make it easy to browse quickly, then you can select 'original' to see the full-resolution image.

    In case your question was genuine, pBase is a community of photographers sharing their work (you can password protect too if you want).

    It isn't free, but a case of using the right tool for the job. Added benefit is other photographers will see your (non-password protected) work & be able to comment on it to offer advice, etc (if you don't disable comments). I have been using the service for 10 years this May.

  10. Re:Opening under duress on US Judge Rules Defendant Can Be Forced To Decrypt Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Unless their guys took pictures prior to tossing the place ... unlikely, but if it happens, you are screwed. Combine this method + something more or less innocuous behind a duress password sounds solid to me, though.

    Since the Patriot Act, you don't get to see the law anymore.

  13. Re:Dull Specs, but battery life? on Intel-Powered Smartphones Arriving Soon · · Score: 1

    Most of the video I watch on my android was not shot on my (or anyone else's) phone. I'l love a screen that high res, although I'd want it much larger than the standard 3-4"

  14. Re:the specs and benchies are a YAWN on Intel-Powered Smartphones Arriving Soon · · Score: 2

    > A non-intel laptop is going to take a long time to come up to speed once people realize there isn't a wealth of applications available.

    Did AMD stop making chips, or just laptop ones? Hmm, neither apparently.

    Don't worry, /. will cover it again a fee times by then.

  16. Re:cost - caffeine pills one way to mitigate on Ebert: I'll Tell You Why Movie Revenue Is Dropping · · Score: 1

    If you have to take caffeine pills to every event you go to, you should really see a doctor.

  17. Re:New ideas, not rehashing old stuff on Ebert: I'll Tell You Why Movie Revenue Is Dropping · · Score: 1

    If the movie is worth the theatre price today, it will still be good in 6mos when I get it on DVD/BluRay. Some of us are too old to care about the OMG! Teh movie just came out and I like have to see it NOW!

    If you watch everything on a 6mo delay, you are never really waiting for another film any more than you are if you watch everything in the theatre.

    So, one domain points to a video that the candidate was in, an organization he worked for and media reports about him. The other points to accusations of the first lady (not even the candidate) having an extramarital affair and the candidate being a "homosexual coke fiend."

    Do you perchance work for Fox News?

    No, no, no! You misunderstood - we need to tax only the poor! We can use that to fund the military.

  23. Re:MS with more patents - Yikes! on Microsoft, Nokia, and Amazon Contemplated RIM Takeover · · Score: 1

    Indeed. I didn't intentionally leave Palm out, my mind was only thinking phones. Considering a smartphone is only a PDA with a cellular radio, I should have included it as well as those horrible little Microsoft-OS PDAs (yes, I was a Palm guy :) )

    Revisionist much?

    First iPhone 2007
    First Android, 2008
    And in case you meant smartphones or touchscreen phones in general, here's a couple more for you.

    If that was too subtle for you, there were no Android phones before the iPhone, but the smartphones we have today are a natural evolution of smartphones that existed before the iPhone. You, sir, FAIL.
