So because they insisted on using a crappy 12-year-old design ARM11 CPU, they need a custom browser to compensate.

Why not make a Raspberry Pi model C, with a Cortex based CPU? If they used a modern A17 at 1.4Ghz, it would be just as low-power and have ~8x more performance.

Because they like to sell their the Pi's at or below $35?

Stop giving Kim 'Dotcom' attention. He is a crook and not the face we want any movement to have.

Hello Mr. Government worker. Guess what? Kim Dotcom is less of a criminal then you and the rest of you US government bitches. Start obeying our fucking constitution again before we have to kill you all and start over.

About as well as it did the last time..

You see, letters in the hebrew language are also numbers. There is no W so V is used in it's place or in other words, V and W are interchangeable. It so happens that V is also 6 so when you type www, you are typing 666. That's right, every time to go on the World Wide Web, you are paying homage to the beast.

That was the early rallying cry to why the internet was evil and should be removed. Of course some people who actually knew better checked up on those facts and it turns out a little different.

Except that 666 isn't the number of the beast, it's actually 616. Google it, number of sources other then the one I put down.

Comment Someone got paid off (Score 1) 84

...a manufacturer to be named once they get around to fixing it...

Someone got paid off not to name the manufacture. Doing a great injustice to their customers by not letting them know their routers can easily be compromised.

Sure, maybe not letting the criminals know which manufacture might seem like a smart idea, but in the same process, they don't need to know, they can just start checking them all. Your customers aren't safe that way. At least if you tell them there is a problem, they can use secondary measures, like turning off their router when they aren't using it. Maybe change their password every hour or so, or maybe pay attention to anything connecting to it. At least that way you can do something about it.

Going to boycott which ever manufacture that is because they don't have my security in mind when they do stuff like this.

I bought the AVGN Adventures game from within the Valve software on my Mac. After downloading the game using the Valve software, the software said the game was Windows only, so I could not install it.

At the support forum I asked for my money back, since it is ridiculous to sell a game using Mac software and then it will not run. Support refused to return my money.

I complained so many times, the support time cost them more than the actual game cost ($10).

Idiots.

Since the games say what they run on when you buy them, I wouldn't give your blind ass a refund either.

The sad thing is that a lot of serious trolls aren't 13 year olds. They're 40 year olds, with kids and wives who you think would have some brains, but sadly still seem to get off on just being miserable pricks.

Well, that's the problem. If they had brains, they wouldn't of got married and had kids.

Seriously, just buy a good CRT. Stop fooling around with all this line doubler crap

I still have 3 Commodore era monitors I use for my older console gaming. In fact, I like to have my wii hooked up to it because I get the best looking emulators running that way. (going to point out while I have some consoles, I don't have them all, so emulate I must)

On top of this, at least in my city, you can get a big ass free CRT TV for free, all you have to do is pick it up. Check Craigslist free section.

Trying to use old consoles on modern TV's is silly, as they don't scale well at all. Even the Wii, which does 640x480p looks crappy on a 1080p TV.

Okay, me again. I actually decided to do a search and this is what I came up with.

I live on the edge of Downtown Seattle and Capital Hill. Not even a mile from the heart of downtown Seattle.

I have the internet choices of:

Cable: Comcast
Satelite: HughesNet
DSL: Centurylink

So my middle post doesn't matter. I don't have a choice of providers, I just have a choice of how I get the internet. Sat, DSL or Cable.

So sure, we might have other DSL providers in Seattle, but they can't overlap with any other providers. Total bullshit system. Time to open it up.
