From Wikipedia: "Communism is a sociopolitical movement that aims for a classless and stateless society"
Sorry it really annoys me when people say Communism especially in regards to the Soviet Union and China when in fact they were/are Socialist.
I think the spectrum is more of a circle anyway. Totalitarian Socialism, what most people think of as Communism tends to be very close to Fascism.

Comment Yay AMD (Score 0) 219

I guess I am an AMD fanboy but this is what I have always liked about AMD. They make cheap, backwards compatible chips. I am using an AM3 chip in an AM2+ board. Not having much money makes compatibility brilliant for me as I did not need to upgrade my motherboard and RAM to get a new processor.

I guess I will need to make the jump to AM3+/whatever the latest Intel socket is these days and DDR3 ram some day though.

Comment Start anywhere really (Score 0) 655

In my experience you can start pretty much anywhere, very few things span between episodes. The recent ones I have watched have had a loose overarching plot that is normally irrelevant to every episode except the last one in the series.
Old episodes move much slower and have shorter episodes (but more episodes in a story) while newer episodes tend to be an hour long and often only 2 episodes in a story.

Comment Maybe as a profitable company? (Score 0) 322

I use Google and Google's services every day. My phone runs Android (recently the most used smartphone OS in the world?) my search engine is Google, I use Gmail all the time and I could go on.
Google does a lot of things that it doesn't make money on but that doesn't mean they are worthless or a failure. If Google were to disappear overnight I would have a hard time replacing all the services I use that they provide.

Comment Re:Where's Gingerbread? (Score 0) 158

I am running Froyo, Samsung only gave my phone Eclair. I will be running Gingerbread pretty soon. There is a large community updating and extending the abilities of my phone
It is the fact that Android is open source that allowed them to do this. Yes perhaps Android should be GPL but then manufacturers would probably not be so happy about using it. It is better that we have Android and it can be modified than we have no Android and our phones run completely closed systems.

Comment Superuser? (Score 0) 274

I didn't watch the video but on my system to make any significant changes such as install something a program superuser access is required. Without me entering my password for a program to do something the most it can do it mess around with pretty trivial stuff.

Comment I want in (Score 0) 228

Can I invest £50 and then get £1.50 from it? I think I have found a way to create infinite money!

Seriously though is there anything stopping me from doing this? Facebook doesn't look like it's going to fail anytime soon...
