also liked the script your car. great classic embed hardware probe demo. and i always postponed learning can bus. extra points for using an eeepc and keeping the 3c tradition alive, even if in his case seemed to be against his will.

add windows and .net and silverlight and DRM monitoring in the stream app and bogus graphic card drivers and other concurrent programs fighting for bandwidth on the same machine such as torrents with the awful bandwidth scheduler of said windows, and you have your answer somewhere.

that shows a total lack of touch to their own product, or the more probable answer, they are bleeding thanks to content owners boycoting them and so they are scrapping the bottom end.

see how this thread is full of joyfull clients on their first months? everyone loves it... until they ve seen all of it, which is very limited to begin with. and they only add things like sharknado...

to properly use [] on a recorded interview is overkill. just glance on the transcript... there is barely a proper english phrase there. the whole thing would be 80% brackets just to make it grammatically correct.

the fact that this is "news" at all is embarrassing to all women that managed to become developers, ceos, etc. period.

this shouldn't be here, in two or three front page items. and this shouldn't have even been asked on that interview.

sad how linux fell behind on keyboard customizations.

used to be the only place where i could replace caps-esc and use altGr for accents.

now windows with autokey(?) allows me to use caps as esc if pressed once, or ctrl modifier if pressed with another key.

i cant find a way to do that in linux now.

i think you missed his point completely.

there is a industry with a lousy product, that can make a much better offering instantly with very little effort, but they are to afraid to do so.

the consumer who opt for piracy is not actively choosing to harm the content creators. but the ecosystem that preys on those content creators is killing itself by preventing people from even buying their products with comfort, and in doing so is harming the content creators.

think about all the bands that started to distribute their own music. nin is way better off. as well as their fans. the only casuality is the record labels and others that used to prey on the band, who used to provide a benefit for the fans when distribution was physical. now, all they do is screw the content creators and fans in a vain attempt to remain relevant and siphoning dollars as they are used to.

if i can watch action movies on a 20 feet screen with a $100k audio system for $8 to $12 at my local theater, why would i want to watch it on choppy netflix on my cheap tv a lame stereo?

people who download that don't care much about the movie. they would be watching commercials on cable tv and be likely entertained. there is no sale lost to the studios there.

the lost sales are people looking for classics or hard to find titles. and those are hard to find in pirate sites, and nowhere to be found on netflix, amazon.

edit: the comment from ChuckMcM bellow describe why that happens.

yeah, as the grandparent post said, they still have their heads up their %%%

lets see: pirate sites = i can watch the movie anywhere. cost some time.

netflix, amazon, hulu = i can watch on windows, android, ios, wii, xbox, several set top boxes such as roku, smart tvs. cost 10 to 200 per month.

that aberration you linked = i only get a single image telling me to download the ios app. im not even sure how much it costs or what they have available.

do that with all my laptops. specially work issued ones ridden with remote access for IT.

a post it cut with just the glue part works fine, easy to replace and leaves no marks.

moz would have to foot the 6mi.

cisco pays 6mi, and them mpegla returns 3mi to them for their patents in the pool. and if the format becomes ubiquitous, they get any few billions from this same pool from their competitors when they also license it.

they are still the bad guy in this.

vp8 is as free as this.

just replace mpegla with google.

even if you didn't, you'd still have to work 8h a day... that usually pose a problem to things like these.

i tried a few, mostly to code easy features while sitting in the couch with a tablet... didn't like any of them. exchanged some messages with the founders and never felt like coming back. i think we are a long way still

steam for still sucks in the way requires full control of my box to games. i only run it in a vm or spare machine, limit the games i can use. if that box is any good, it will be very good for people with a minimum security concern for their main computers
