Comment Well. (Score 1) 253

While I think the basic premise is a little silly, I imagine a $200 fanless laptop is powerful enough to run Plex (I run Plex Server off an old Mac Mini, and never have had any problems).

Depending how much space you need, get a solid-state SSD or even SD card, put some kind of basic protection about it (a cheap laptop bag?) and throw it in your crawlspace.

My Plex server runs fine over wifi (with the router right next to it), but I still have it connected to Ethernet. I imagine that could be a problem with higher bitrate movies.

I'll suggest something here. Some cultures have the ability to innovate. Some do not. No judgement. But trying to shortcut bypass and undermine the ones that innovate to get sub market talent does not come without a long term price.

Do laud the rapists who take advantage of this because they have a huge pile of monopoly money is really sad.

Zuck and Gates could make a few universities like MIT-Caltech-etc that are meant to home grow STEM superstars of the native born and re-invest in our country which is full of the people who injected the most cash into their wallets.

Comment They just want to grow crops of wage slaves (Score 2) 119

Gates and Zuck want to farm the entire human race for wage slaves. The oligarchs want to pluck the best and brightest from wherever they may be and utilize them.

These countries need fresh water, a reliable food supply and the most rudimentary things for education, eg, paper and pencils. These tools want to throw keyboards at the world hoping to farm out another hidden gem like Ramanujan and pluck them like cheap underpaid fruit.

I was thinking more along these lines...

I need NASA to make a ship, preferably a pinkish-orangish color, triangular in shape. It only has yaw and forward thrusters.

Then I need a cannon which takes asteroids and breaks them in to exactly half sized asteroids and alters their momentum.

Then I need NASA to have this ship generate a space-time wrap such than any asteroids I shoot will be looped back into a 2 dimensional plane finite sized plane about 50 ship-lengths long.

I also needs NASA to allow this ship to teleport in this plane.

I also need NASA to make the cannon completely vaporize asteroid chunks of sufficiently small size.

Unlimited fuel and cannon use a requirement.

I also dont seem to see the need for inertial dampeners, we can just retro-thrust the ship by turning around and firing backwards.

Comment Re:This Song? There's Nothing Tricky About It (Score 1) 386

I want to interject that "My Sweet Lord" and "He's So Fine" are the EXACT SAME FUCKING SONG. Same melody, structure, and everything. Basically a cover, except you take out the cool girl group singing "sha la la" and add in some Hare Krishnas singing the Hare Krishna mantra.

If this had been made in Brazil, Chinese companies would still have copied the basic design. You can also get fake rolexes in China, and those are made in Switzerland (according to 3 seconds of Googling).

They didn't use the same factory, so the country of the original is a basically irrelevant point.
