Comment What kind of resources (Score 1) 738

We have just under an unlimited amount of resources on Earth.
Oil is just a fraction of all the resources we have. Coal is just a fraction of all the resources we have.

We could invest in proper nuclear reactors, with minimal waste. We could invest more in fusion reactors. Fuck, why even care about such complicated ways of extracting energy, when we could invest in the likes of solar power, tidal power, wave power, and wind power. Most fuel based power (I cant come up with a better word), like coal, oil, and nuclear, is messy and expensive.

The oil companies are starting to see the problem. I promise, the oil companies (the same companies that rule the world) are going to get the same retard safety net that all the banks got, and i don't think we will recover this time.

In the end, it's all about energy, and thats is something we have plenty of.

Who wants to design some open source/open schematics alternative generators?

Are we still trying to figure out what this thing is for ?

So far the only, day to day, use case i'we heard people going on about, is to use it as a portable emailer and wordprocessor. I think that's very naive, cuz once youwe had it in your hands, and tried doing some actual typeing, you quickly realize that thats never going to happen.

Im all for this idea. Some problems do still exist.

1. It's kind of future tech. The majority of all major browsers do support all this cool stuff. The minority that do NOT, still hogs most users.
2. What Adobe is selling is the Flash IDE. I hate it, but most flash "programmers" use it, and is quite unwilling to actually learn to program. JavaScript/Canvas do not have such an IDE.

When IE6, IE7 and IE8 is gone, then we can start thinking of actually use this stuff.
When there is a proper IDE for this stuff, we can start seeing the flash "programmers" migrating.

As an extra bonus, 3. Most people that do flash aint very open source-y in nature. Most bigger flash studios use obfuscators "to protect their product".

Comment Security cards SHOULD only be one part of a key (Score 2, Insightful) 102

Security cards SHOULD only be one part of a key and should never be used as a primary means of authentication.
You have your card to initialise the authentication, then you use something else as the second key, like something as simple as a PIN code.

A security card is ALOT simpler to snatch then trying to figure our your PIN code. And together, it's a shit load of work, even for the most experienced intruder.

I think sopssa (the first guy who replied to me) actually had a good point.

Its a bit depending on what publisher it is, some of them do the best of it and actually integrates the games style into the presentation.

This is almost the always case with movies (shown at the cinema). You rarely see "game-style" introduction to a movie. It's most of the time part of the ACTUAL movie, and the majority of the time elegantly presented, and part of the build up.

(i am aware that there is alot of movies that has both the "game-style" presentation and the more cinematic way)
