This video is the perfect recreation of recent a conversation between myself and my computer in trying to set up an FTP server in a virtual machine. In layman terms I asked the computer to do one thing and the computer decided to do something slightly/completely different.

So in this clip I'm Phil La Marr and my computer is Nicole Sullivan.

Read this article last night while perusing Flipboard (great reading app):

I'd be hard pressed not to recommend this for any casual computer user looking to upgrade from their XP machine to make the leap to a newer machine. The ability to hook this up to a monitor/keyboard/mouse for use at a desk, then pick it up and wander with it to surf the web all in one machine.

Power users wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole, but for the normal user who write a Word document from time to time, check email and surf the web, the 8 inch or 10 inch model would be more than ample power to do these things.

I've called the NBA, MLB, and NHL personally and all three leagues assured me that DUI's among players are only a problem among NFL athletes. After all [URL="http://youtu.be/06jF1EG8o-Q?t=49s"]why would they make that up[/URL]? :D

Now among [URL="http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/content/22-fra"]Fighting Robot Association[/URL] members DUI's are apparently a huge problem which is [URL="https://s3.amazonaws.com/kichink/stores_11395_60471_20140409195550_b.jpg"]FEic [/URL]becuz they build robots.

I hate what the TV companies are doing, and I really liked the thinking behind Aereo, but I have a hard time complaining about this...

Taking the over the air broadcasts in a city and providing them over the internet seems to violate the spirit with which free over the air broadcasting is required.

My rooting for aero was less about them not doing anything wrong and more about someone sticking it to the TV companies.

wait the concept of free ota broadcasts were so everyone could see them. putting it out over the web just expands that concept.

Ok , why is it that the folks who own the show be the ones who make that decision ?

Re: All Things Technology Related Thread
 

whats funny is this was legal for radio (isn't that how mark cuban made his money?) back in the day.

you can still take an antenna, hook it up to a slingbox or helix server if that's your thing. good luck stopping that.

Probably couldn't. Nobody is making money on that.
