I just did, and now I'm just a little dumber.

Masters degree in Online Security, really? You might as well take a MS-something certification and call yourself a windows professional.

The most clueless people I've ever met working with IT, are those that work with the company's security. They have an exact set of rules to follow, and nothing else. They monitor their companies outgoing - ingoing data for certain things, and block certain services. They also have a strict policy on mobile devices, cellphones, USB-memory devices and usually give their employees their own...monitored...laptops, everything within a guaranteed controlled environment.

Except that "Guaranteed" part, because there are really no such thing as a guarantee within computer security, the only way to truly learn computer security is to practice hacking, thinking like a hacker, be a hacker and yes...have the same incentives as a cracker would have, and the fun a hacker would have solving new puzzles, breaking into new systems, learning every corner of that hardware inside out. You can't TEACH that at a school, heck...not even the most experienced hacker in the WORLD can teach ANYONE these things, there is so much...and you need to know everything from scratch, everything else is just being a well mannered script-kiddie that would be totally clueless if they received a "virus" that no one of their hardware/software systems could detect, simply because the programmer is so clever (we're talking hackers here, just in case you mistook a programmer for a programmer instead of a hacker, hint hint, wink wink and nudge nudge). And the reason they can't detect it, is because it's not been discovered yet. How can you teach that?!

Kids today don't even know what vectors are, they have NO clue how the bios work, gawd...I'm gonna grab myself a bag of popcorn and watch this freak show.

I have to call BS on this one, sorry bub...but you live in a dreamland - unless you have sources that proves it's that easy for ex. an American to migrate to EU countries, I know a bit about it (because I'm an EU citizen of Scandinavia, and we have Americans who try REAL hard to emigrate to one of the worlds RICHEST countries, Norway, Denmark or Sweden. And albeit we absolutely ADORE Americans over here, it's hell on earth for them to even get a permit to work and stay here for a while. Same thing applies for Scandinavians if they want to migrate to America, not easy at all (believe me, I've tried numerous times and know the immigration law on the back of my hand by now, in fact...I could probably do as a part time immigration lawyer by now, it is THAT depressive. Mobilization is a wet ...but non existent dream).

I can give you a few examples, if you're a student...you CAN come to Scandinavia and study, heck...we'll even pay for your tuition and most of what you need, what you can't have from us you can get in grants provided that you qualify for them. But that doesn't guarantee you a job OR a PERMANENT relocation to our countries (albeit we'd LOVE to have those nice hard working Americans here, your work ethics ROCK!).

If you want to stay here permanently, you'll actually only have to learn the American Immigration Law, because we have EXACTLY the same laws as you have, albeit the visas are named differently, we have WORK visas just like you, we have immigration visas for asylum seekers (war torn countries etc.)...again...exactly like you. We even have BUSINESS visas exactly like you have, and you can get married to a Scandinvian citizen and get naturalization that way...exactly the same way as we could with YOU in America, however - it's a LONG and HORRIBLE process with suspicious government looking down on you every step of the way, costing you THOUSANDS of dollars in processing fees (EXACTLY THE SAME WAY YOUR COUNTRY DOES WITH US)...man...you could almost be driven to believe we've copied your entire immigration system, but yeah...it's actually quite true. Look it up.

Sony already lost me when they first announced that they wouldn't touch the Linux install possibility on the PS3, and then ONE month later announced that their latest update would remove the possibility to install another OS onto it.

...here's why:

Renting games is ANY company's wettest dream. Hollywood have a long history of re-releasing their old office hits over and over again, milking the same cow into retirement and even beyond the grave, and families of actors & owners loves this, it's a guaranteed way to get money - basically forever!

Why sell you the game, when they can rent it to you over and over again? Remember that cool GTA5 game you paid 60$ (Some of us in Sweden paid 120$ for it) back in the days? 10 years later you want to revive your "fun days" and in a future of "rental only" game systems, they'll be able to MILK you into oblivion for as long as it takes, with literally millions of old programs from every system, simply because you didn't protect your purchases - it's not their fault either, it's YOU who accept it and thinks it's totally okay to do so.

Netflix is a GREAT ad-free service, so much so that I've been lazy when it comes to my DVD collection. But what Netflix doesn't give me is a permanent possibility to relive those fun moments I had with a few flicks some years ago...unless they've paid for the license to retain the flick in their collection. When it's in MY DVD collection, I don't need a license or permission, I just dust of that old DVD player and have a GREAT time - for free (or at least get the full value of true ownership).

I have Wii-U, and we finally have some great games for it (certainly took a while), it even comes with downloadable indie-games that are so cheap (and fun) they rival the second-hand store/game-this-and-game-that-stores AND it's possible to RE-install on the same console if I should decide to sell the console, that's okay in my book...downloadable games as long as they're somewhat transferable...is the future and the way to go, I love not having to SWITCH between CDs all the time.

So there you have it, Sony Or Microsoft won't get my money this time as they've chosen the wrong way - excessive greed.

I didn't.

And no, that shit is far from dead. You'll find lots of assembly in specialized proprietary hardware where it's easier to just implement your own code instead of using an entire suite of libraries and ready made IDE packages.

What I like about coding assembly, is that it's relatively straight forward, ok...the math really isn't as we don't have the luxury of floating points in every variable, various math function - and we need to keep track of our code jumps as the MCUs have certain limitations when it comes to branching here and there.

I usually use older MCUs too as I don't have to deal with numerous layers of special codes to access special features of the chip. I keep things on a simple I/O level - and add "shit" as I please. No need to have an AD/DA converter with every thing I come up with, so I just add the hardware layers I need and what whenever I need them. I've been thinking of moving to FPGAs...now THERE's something that would eat my time. Assembly is the simple shit. (But very gratifying and fun to do, even for beginners).

...and btw, those systems are OFFLINE ALWAYS! ;)

Yep, I live in the stone ages, but at least I know every corner of my systems.

Yep, I'd like to see that. Never-mind why, I just want to see that.

Really, are you using Lynx on a *nix box?

What OS are you using?

...please, PLEASE edit this video down to 1-2 minutes.

Remember, that's the guy that said "Nvidia, F*CK YOU!". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
He's a passionate, colorful character...he's been like that for as long as I can remember him. Thank god there's still awesome nerds out there that just can't be bought.

That statement is not true at all!

I was one of the early adopters of items with an OLED display, my HTC Legend (A cellphone with OLED display). I use it every day, surf with it all the time - and it's now 4 years old, and colors as brilliant as it was new, the Red, Green and Blue is absolutely perfect (to my eyes anyway, and I'm a graphics artist for whatever it's worth).

And besides... how often will you use some headgear VR equipment? It's not like you'll use it 8 hours a day, not even the most hardcore gamer would use a thing like that for THAT long, it's very tiring to have a device like that stuck to your face like a CPAP mask. Just wear a diving mask....even a light one, for ONE hour...and you'll catch my drift.

The TI Speak & Spell was incredibly sophisticated for its time, imagine a device in 1978 that had a character screen, plug-in vocabulary software modules, game apps, and of all things...could SPEAK OUT LOUD with sounds that where created by A speech synthesis processor instead of just samples. We didn't even have Commodore vic 20 or Commodore 64 by then, the Speak and Spell was an amazing piece of hardware. The speech synthesis chip TMS 5220 still blows me away with what it can do. You'll also find that chip (and it's siblings) inside various Arcade machines AND pinball machines, even more recent pinball machines.

And just to top that off, that little portable "computer", lasts for YEARS on a single set of batteries using it several hours each month, and it's soft-switch technology! Not even cellphones handle that kind of standby times even with the network disconnected. Don't diss the TI S&S!

Hahaha, yeah - classic, it's always like that, something is doomed somewhere, and it's always paywalled or lead to a book, dvd, newspaper or something you have to buy.
