Cute idea. My kid would find this handy. Backed it.

A fake anti-virus scammer calls a security researcher...this ensues by enfyrneauxin technology

[–]genesius 1 point2 points ago

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Your reply makes sense. I guess it's partly a perspective thing. Most users would consider technology easier to use, and find less reason to even be aware that there's a file system in place at all. The iPad's popularity would point to that.

Actually, it's been getting easier on a fairly consistent basis.

They target the less-savvy types, such as my mother-in-law. Thankfully my mother-in-law is so non-computer savvy she couldn't work out how to set up LogMeIn and they failed.

US cuts $33m in aid to Pakistan. $1m for each year of Shakil Afridi's sentence. by Oreally71in worldnews

[–]genesius 1 point2 points ago

You're bringing nothing but ad hominem here. I'm trying to make the point that while it was of course right that Bin Laden be tracked down, the actions by this doctor endangered many lives.

Are you suggesting that Pakistani children's lives are worth less than the people in the twin towers?

Compare how many people die from polio to how many died in the 9/11 attacks.

Edit: Anyway, it's oranges and apples. On one side we have the ability to prevent future deaths, and we're weighing that up against retribution for past deaths. I'd rather prevent future deaths than satisfy revenge.

Not really. You're justifying endangering lives of many people who might otherwise have been saved from polio. People in Pakistan are now less trustful of foreign aid, and less likely to accept medicine that can and will save lives.

On top of that, the actions also brought a heap of issues onto Save the Children, disrupting their work and endangering more kids. It's definitely not as simple as "with us or with the terrorists".

Except when the game keeps freezing to wait for a reply from the server.

This is a tumblr documenting the changing positions of two dogs in the office kitchen. Nobody admits to moving them. :)

MacBook Pro rumor rollup: thinner, better, faster, stronger by alanXin apple

Images that have been upscaled to the double resolution don't sit well alongside elements rendered at the native resolution, and since so many images are used in website layouts, many layouts will look relatively fuzzy.

Running it on a 2012 Macbook Air 13". I've set everything to low, no shadows, and it seems to run fine.

Windows -> Apple converts, why did you change? by xadzin apple

[–]genesius 4 points5 points ago

Please consider the netbook route carefully. I've owned several over the years and installed Ubuntu on each, and when I moved to a MacBook Pro it was like a breath of fresh air. I will never buy a netbook and go through all that hassle again.

I would torrent it to a shared drive, grab it using FileBrowser and view it either locally in FileBrowser or with something like AVPlayerHD.

Just tried to go on the PirateBay, and got: Sorry, the web page you have requested is not available through Virgin Media. by Lead-farmerin technology

[–]genesius 2 points3 points ago

One way to get around it is to use google. Find the blocked pirate bay URL, and search google for cache:theurl. There's a magnet link on the page that should open in your torrent client.

2012 MacBook Air 13" and 2011 27" iMac. From what I've read it should work.
