Comment Re:VP8 won't replace MPEG 4 AVC (H.264) (Score 1) 312

chill out and stop taking pot shots at things that aren't related to the subject. this is the internet. you can find a supporting argument or case for anything. you can find test results that agree with any point of view when you're using a lossy bandwidth reduction algorithm because they used just the right input data.

Chill out and stop using AC as a sock puppet. It's the sort of pathetic shit only somebody with a Republican sig could contemplate as a good argument strategy.

i do like the way you just stopped capitalising the first letter of each sentence. if you can do that, then there's literally no need to change your writing style. nobody would ever see past a ruse like that.

Besides, as a right winger, taking pot shots at things unrelated to the subject is your bread and butter. If you can't do that, there is nothing else to distract you from the constant cognitive dissonance required to keep your little brain in one piece and Blammo!, total breakdown, several killed, gunman takes own life, news at 11.

To keep this on on topic did you know that codec stands for Coder/Decoder? Isn't that neat? Now go back to trying to get Newton out of your textbooks, faggot.

Because it's obviously stored along with the domain, you fucking retard.

How fucking stupid do you have to be to be told that it stores certain settings for sites and think that it can do that without storing a reference to the actual site? The answer is unbelievably fucking stupid. Look above for the comment about how it's all stored together on Linux.

And because you're fucking stupid, let me spell out the other risk - a non-default zoom level is proof of visiting that site. Don't you remember that site that could tell you what sites you had visited using CSS to see which link colours had changed? Oh of course you don't, you're an idiot.

And I'm not going off on Google, I don't use their browser and don't give a shit what they do. Idiots on the other hand are incredibly dangerous because they don't realise they're idiots. Please track down a copy of the famous paper "Incompetent and unaware of it". Get someone to read it out to you and point at you when they reach the relevant parts.

If you can do it on Linux, you can do it better on Windows due its superior complex ACL support :

1. Click through a number of complicated windows some of which look identical but aren't.
2. Oh fuck this shit.

I hope this is of help to Windows users. It should be equally easy to reverse, unless you fuck up and remove your own ability to make changes, which you probably will. Fortunately there are a number of Windows focused help forums full of experts who will quickly guide you to a sol.. ahahahaha holy shit I can't even finish that one.

Insightful? WTF. Memory limit is not in license, but in 32-bit architecture.

Yes, that's why there has never been a 32bit machine with more than 4GB of memory. PAE doesn't exist (well it doesn't in XP that was the point he was trying to make). Please don't comment on computer architecture again as you will just make yourself look stupid, and then there'll be a long of people correcting you. It just wastes everyone's time and energy, whereas if you keep your mouth shut everything's fine. OK?

...and make *reliable* drives. I've had 2 500GB and a 320 GB Seagates die, a 1TB Hitachi is beginning to act on its own, so far the only drives I have that seem to work OK are WD (Green, in the PVR). Seagate has a long history of having problems (firmware, hardware) since they bought Maxtor. Give me a reliable 1-2 TB drive instead. So far WD are the only drives that didn't die here.

You may as well stick your fucking anecdotes right up your ass, because I can assure you that nobody fucking cares. Random Slashdot faggot with 2(!) home computers says WD/Hitachi/IBM/Seagate/Whatever make the best drives, news at 11.

Look, I don't like the way Steve Jobs is systematically trying to destroy the personal computer model we've had until now and replace it with a load of pretty locked down shit either.

But just remember this - he's going to die pretty soon and it's going to be really painful. So yeah, he'll try and remove personal freedoms, and then die screaming - it's the perfect outcome if you think about it. Maybe he's set it up as a lesson to his worshippers. Or maybe he really is just a cunt.

Then someone else will take over Apple and try to go down the same path, but the magic will be gone, and all this shit falls apart. Boohoo, so sad.

If one strace's the chrome flash plugin process one discovers that in 10 seconds it issues 56,000 system calls -- 53,000 (95%) of them are useless gettimeofday() calls

Oracle does the same thing with time{} and gettimeofday(). I know why Oracle's doing that and it's entirely legitimate. You have no fucking idea why the Chromified version of Flash is doing that, you just want everyone to know you can use strace and post a silly looking number.

Now debug it properly and tell us whether it's doing it because it's bad software or because it needs to. We can wait.

I have a special request, however. All global warming and card-carrying Greenpeace members should be placed on a boat immediately above the device if this is going to happen.

I think you'll find that if all Americans were placed on a floatilla of boats above the epicentre of the explosion (that was the word you would have used if you weren't an ignorant American cunt) it would have a much more positive and lasting effect). In fact, fuck the oil leak, just do it anyway. Burn the whole fucking planet if it kills every Republican/Libertarian.

However, recording people's notes is indefensible. That stuff is private information, users have an expectation of being sensitive.

Yeah, the thing is that they simply aren't doing that. What's happened is that Slashdot's cocksmoking retard editors lied to you in order to make you want to write your comment and view some more ads. How much time did you waste out of your day writing about this? Estimate how much time has been wasted in total because people have been bullshitted by Slashdot's COCKSMOKING RETARD EDITORS? Many lifetimes worth. So, congratulations Slashdot editors - your lives have actually made a net negative contribution to humanity through deliberate timewasting. You know if you commit suicide now, it won't get any worse. It's the honourable thing to do.

Now be honest - does anyone really care if you use it? Are your "guys" really bugging you about it all the time? The answer is "No" isn't it? Nobody cares what software you use. Nobody cares about you at all. You're getting angry about free software for fuck's sake. If someone got angry about being given free stuff in real life, you would think they were insane. So are you now going to claim that you are a popular and well adjusted person? And that these "guys" of yours really exist? Pull the other one, freakshow.

"I fucking hate chinks and slants" Steve Jobs, 2007.

I know you lot see him as some kind of messiah, but when he can get away with saying this kind of shit in public with barely a comment, I'd say the word "Fuhrer" might be more appropriate.
