    No no... A couple of them whined and cried. It is obviously effective just by your emotional response. Knee-jerking silly responses about me, the person who did not do it, shows how emotional it makes you. It is funny, really. Do go on about idiocy...

    I don't recall those as being radiation hardened. There is the idea of using multiple COTS chips with the extras being for fail-over but then you have the added weight which really does matter.

    The whole Intersteller thing with love being the 5th dimension? Yeah... About that? I think we can stop calling it science fiction and just call it fiction. Additionally? It seemed like they used a hat to pull out a standard plot line, three standard tropes/plot twists, and five real bits of science that they did not actually understand. Then they wrote a horrific story to combine them and, of course, had to throw in an entirely absurd premise (love beats physics) because, otherwise, everybody is dead. Then they dragged the movie out with mindless inanities and special effects that pale in comparison to the average effects being rendered today. It is not even bad in a good way, it is just bad. It sucked.

    I could eat the hell out of a couple of fluffernutters right about now. I do not believe I have any fluff. Yes, this is entirely off-topic but it is the first time I have noticed your name, I think. I probably would remember it if I saw it before because I friggen' love fluffernutters. My ex had never heard of such a thing, she was a granola eating Californian, and was a bit taken aback by the prospect initially. (I can take an 'off topic' karma hit even if I did care about such things.)

    The "OCD" bit implies a disorder. You do not have a disorder that is compulsive/obsessive. You are just retarded. There is a difference.

    Seriously - I say this for your own good. Let it go. It is retarded and you are not "winning" anything. Just think of the valuable things you could be getting done, like reviewing the source code for your browser and then compiling it yourself!

    Yes, the above is sarcasm and not really directed at you. It is just the gist of much of the posting on this thread. I had to release it somewhere and you, for better or worse, were chosen.

  11. Re: Advanced users do not use Apple products on How Apple Music Can Disrupt Users' iTunes Libraries · · Score: 1

    Try Linux Mint. It is like Linux for Retards which means I am growing to like it. It truly holds your pecker while you pee, really - it does! It is not good at shaking it off afterwards. But, seriously, it really is a very simple OS with everything right there in front of you. It is intuitive and easy enough to manage with a bit of searching until you adjust to the Mint Way® of doing things. It has a real taskbar instead of that stupid crap sidebar Ubuntu has. It replaces Mandriva nicely.

    It is "snide" and "lose." Advanced users can usually spell. I only remember two of your spelling errors but there are probably more. No, I do not use a Mac. I own one and I own an iPod, I can not understand why people like them but I have, I admit, not taken enough time to use OSX or iOS to really get used to it. iOS is pretty intuitive so I manage that just fine but, still, never really use it. OSX is functional and, I am sure, a great desktop if I learn the ins and outs. Strangely enough - they are all pretty much fine (except KDE - it blows no matter what they do to it - or I just can not make it work for my workflow) so long as you learn their variations from what you are accustomed to. I manage just fine on any OS (even the dreadful KDE though I really hate it) desktop though it usually means adapting me to work with it. It takes time but not a whole lot really.

    Are you saying that you pirate music so that you can make money from it? That's not cool, dude. We are unlikely to believe you are only grabbing discographies from bands that have made their copyrights along those lines.

    That is why I said "pretty good" instead of "ideal" or "perfect." Also, I thought you could tick a box and install outside apps with Windows Phone? I never bought one so I have no idea if that is true. I could have sworn it was just a checkbox and it opened it up like Androids usually have.

  19. Re:No way in hell on Microsoft Edge, HTML5, and DRM · · Score: 1

    That is one thing that Microsoft has usually been pretty good about. They will let you install stuff from anywhere you want. They have not really had much of a walled garden approach to anything except things that they have, themselves, hosted on behalf of third parties. So I suspect the various add-ons will be available (and probably directly through Microsoft's site) even if you have to go to a third party site and download them.

    I'd thought I had read (maybe here?) about a proof of concept GPU malware authorship recently. I took a quick trip to Google.

    https://www.google.com/search?...

    I am going to grab the study and give it a quick read. There are a number of very interesting links that result from that search. I think you may be a bit out of date with your info that it can not be done. It looks as if it can be done and has been done including malware that effects both Linux and Windows. I am not sure if it would also effect OSX. I will read some more about it though but I figured I would share the search link with you so that you could check it as well. Disclaimer: I am a mathematician and an EE and not a security specialist.

    A very valid point that I had forgotten about my stay though I do not think I knew you were Australian. As an aside, I enjoyed my stay in Oz. I flew into Melbourne (the first time) and spent a couple of interesting weeks with a lass I'd met online. I was out off of Prince's Highway in Cann River. The second time I rented a "ute" and drove from Melbourne up to Somerset. There were some tire issues (tyre I suppose) but nothing major and the same lovely lass joined me for that trip. I had thought about moving there but, alas, it would have meant marrying said lovely lass and then still needing to take a test. I liked the lady well enough but I did not like her that much. She was rather unhappy when I told her that. I am using unhappy as a polite way of saying violent. I suppose I made the right choice.

    A Democracy could concede the right to judges to allow them to arbitrate elections if they wanted. They would still be a democracy just a Representative Democracy. Not that this means what happened in the US, Florida to be specific, was legal or anything. I am simply pointing out that they *could* democratically give up the right to a direct election (or an electoral college) and still be a democracy. It would be insanely stupid of them to give up that right but, then again, Hitler was democratically elected and was expected to get rid of elections in the future, which he did.
