Comment Re:That's not Teleportation! (Score 2) 163

well that would be copying at a different place.. and then what would stop you from making two copies? making it a copying process and not teleportation.

if you want to say that there isn't likely to be real teleportation then duh... it's just magic scifi anyways. if you were to convert the state of the object into information then you would need to have artificial limitations to stop you from making two copies once you have the information.

it's an _extra_ _step_ the machine makes.

as such, you could just as well just trust the operator to hit it with a hammer.

the only reason they did it was to get some publicity. but even then, nobody should give a fuck. it's not teleportation. it's just a scanner, a 3d printer and a device that destroys the original for no good reason at all.

yeah especially funny coming from someone who is in charge of a company that had a product that was only available on their own platform and only on carriers who had contracts with them...

is there Line for bb(X??) ?

Comment Re:The conclusions are bogus. (Score 1) 210

it's not entirely bullshit.

they forced g+ on every youtube commenter to drive up the usage statistics. I'm "active" on google plus and I know plenty of other "active" people too, while in reality we're just continuing to use youtube as we used before g+. and that's majority of g+ use. so if you take that out what you're left with is peanuts, almost everyone with a google+ account doesn't do anything non-youtube related with the google+ account and this is accurate! fuck, I would say that 1.5 billion of those users don't even fucking know they have a google+ account!

this is result of google being very active in tricking people, and shoving g+ on them through repeated popups, clickhere's, accept this new term and you'll be on g+, etc etc bullshit. and by repeated I mean wording it differently every time, not including a "don't fucking ask me to join g+ again" and so forth. if you were an active gmail user then sooner or later you were going to slip up and join even if you didn't want to - and if you wanted to comment on youtube you simply had no choice, and if you thought you had then you got tricked by some updated terms checkbox, and BOOM suddenly your profile pic was a on a public google+ site and you were a google+ user in statistics.

(and most g+ content isn't private, unless you count g+ chats as "content", which you really shouldn't, this really is the difference to facebook - which makes google+ just a big collection of blogs/self advertisements)

Comment Re:Google Plus Defined Itself As a Hazard (Score 1) 210

you sure you never signed on for google+ and use google services? because if you didn't, that's a feat!

thing is, with tech circles, everyone knew already the reason why google forced every youtuber basically to join google+, through deceit at the end.. I had managed to avoid creating a google+ account for a quite long time but one click on youtube to make a comment got me in the end..

Comment Re:She doxxed people as well... (Score 2) 693

she's not going to explain anything.. why? because she has a job now.

not as a games developer(and really calling herself based on that game then my high school in '90s had 30 game devs), but you know, as a professional money asker/victim. that's pretty much it.

much easier than developing actual games anyways.

you might want to check up on that.

"unauthorized use" or similars are used in pretty much all of the west for.. well, unauthorized use, like joyriding. if the joyriding ends up destroying it then it's destroying of property..

you know how destroying property isn't theft as such.

why the distinctions? because usually it's more "bad" if the crime is done with profit in mind (like reselling the car)

you could just do the communication part in c/c++ if you really had to... a really minor thing in the big picture of things. and really minor compared to your choice of using AS3 for the game itself...

you might be well better off just learning qml and javascript and doing it in that if you want use something like that which compiles nicely to a osx/ios/android/windows (qt has a nice c++ ide too..) application.

more like 60-70 years rather than 100... ignored for decades? as if.

speculative science fiction hasn't had a good run on hollywood in a while. just big explosions shit. star trek into the darkness had me thinking it's shit in the first 10 minutes. put enterprise underwater, do some stupid volcano stopping shit, break prime directive and all that in the first 10 minutes. it's like the watched a parody of into the darkness and then made a film based on the parody, what a paradox.
