We still ban books? JFC, that's embarrassing. Aliens are laughing at us.

This is the Christmas equivalent of April 1 Slashdot. Was wondering if the site would make an appearance again this year.

Microcenter already sells a $39 Azpen A700 with the exact same specs. What am I missing?

[sentence 1: didn't mean to sound like a Nazi atrocity denier, I meant it in the vein of bad people who spoil things for the rest of us.. etc]

about Nazi-ism (not just facism, but the particular Nazi flavor) that it draws so many people in? All we are ever taught about it is all the horrible, reprehensible stuff they did (it could be just the people perverting things as always ie the way things are headed in the US) in WW2, but was/is there anything worthwhile or morally uplifting about being Nazi that we've never been aware of?

Being a Nazi fanboi for shock value or for the perception of freedom to hate I can get.. some people are just wired that way. But what about all the 'legitimate' people who thought it was a good idea?

There are lots of systems of government that have good (moral, social, ethical, etc) ideas. Most of the time the people in charge are the ones who fuck things up.

CM almost always targets the Nexus device first (since the Nexus line started) which then trickles to everything else. This is not the case this go round*, so the comment was probably a heads up to N5 owners wanting CM.

(*probably because current CM is still JB, Nexus 5 is KK, so releasing for the 5 would require back porting JB, which is a lot of wasted effort)

Score!

Just upgraded, love this phone. Not terribly interested in rooting/rom'ing like I used to be, but I do like having the CM option readily available.

[quote]These people have a radical and fairly crude ant-secrecy agenda, and the stuff they bring to light may be done in a highly selective and self-serving manner. And regardless of whether you think governments should be allowed to keep secrets or spy on people, I dispute that these vigilantes should decide what should be "declassified" or what isn't. It's only slightly better when the leaks are channelled through the media, given that journalism is a "soft option", and that journalists are only slight better qualified than the leakers themselves to decide what's safe to leak or not.

You're still missing the message to focus on messengers. Tyranny is what is the problem. Doesn't matter if it's Judy Gardland, Edward Snowden or Ariel Castro delivering the message. If the statements are true, focusing on the flaws/brokenness/evils of the messenger is ensures tyranny continues to succeed.

I'm pissed and I don't know what to do. The NSA is stealing both the ideals of what our democracy is based on, as well our increasingly modern era implementation of it. I don't think anything short of bloodshed in the streets has a chance of changing anything, and even then it likely won't. The Government in the name of security can lie, cheat, steal and kill and not be held accountable.

Everyone is welcome.

(for me, Ardour doesn't cut it. I realize this is very much a catch-22 for OSS and making $, but I don't like the method Ardour uses to financially support itself)

But both of those are now taken care of.

Lightworks - awesome NLE, feature set on par w/ Final Cut Pro before the iFCP dumbening - http://www.lwks.com/
Tracktion 4 - professional daw (originally by Mackie). Methods are a bit different from more traditional software (Cubase/Reaper/Protools/Samplitude/etc) but professional thru-and-thru. http://www.tracktion.com/

I've gotten in the habit of just Cr-Al-De then clicking the lower right power icon. Not a big fan of gestures.

Agree.. it looks like a well done HDR final.

If the only tool you have is a hammer [gun], everything starts to look like a nail [something you should shoot].

Who to blame.. video games, where guns aren't real, or NRA, where guns are real.

Figures. Some people still believe in magical mystical all powerful heavenly deities, others still that the earth is flat.
