  1. Re:Powers of Two on Samsung Mass Produces Fast 256GB SSDs · · Score: 1

    The missing space could be caused by several different things depending on your take:

    . NSA backdoor
    . DRM from RIAA/MPAA
    . Hardware level secret pr0n stash
    . Rootkit

    etc

    Yes. They also found his mugshot by the skeleton. Apparently TFA left that detail behind.

  4. Re:OMGITSSOOOOOSHINY on Study Finds iPhone Twice As Reliable As BlackBerry · · Score: 1

    Purchase/licensing and maintenance of a separate Blackberry enterprise server required. Note that iPhone integrates w/Exchange without requiring you to license/maintain this component.

    You could say the same thing for the BlackBerry. You can use the BlackBerry Internet email option to sync through Outlook Web Access for e-mail. For calendar/address book you would still need to use the Desktop Manager. Those are all free.

    Do you have a paid, professional grade sync option for the iPhone?

    It would not work for their licensing/pricing scheme. Windows Server is a lot more expensive than Windows Vista.

  6. Re:Who is controlling where lightning strikes? on Space Litter To Hit Earth Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    6 million people in the earth? What year are you? 7000 BC?

    We are at 6.7 billion, which lowers the chance to 76000.

    Yeah, still extremely unlikely, but that doesn't excuse NASA to just throw trash back to the earth, specially toxic one.

    The difference is that I am in control of the car (most of the time, anyway).

    Who's controlling the direction of that debris?

    17 kg at 160 kph could hit the earth anywhere?

    What if it hits SOMETHING, like a car in the highway or an airplane?

    MS dead in a decade?

    What bubble are you living in?

    Considering even Windows 2000 is still used on corporations all over the world, there is no way Microsoft is going to be anywhere near dead in a few decades.

    Please mod parent up.

    Microsoft even contacted partners to make sure they were applying the patch as soon as possible.

    I don't know where the author got the downplaying from...

  12. Re:Don't forget Apple on iGoogle Users Irate About Portal's Changes · · Score: 1

    The biggest problem I had is that each item for each feed started to show two lines of text below the title. I only need/use the title, so I had to scroll to check all gadgets because they became higher with the update.

    Happily, I've found this gadget on this thread on Google Groups that removed the preview text.

    Or developers. From the blog entry:

    "That's right, you can install Fennec on your Windows, OS X or Linux desktop too! We want you to be able to experiment, provide feedback, write add-ons and generally get involved with the Mozilla Mobile project, even if you don't have a device."

    Truly impressive is the cleaning water powder. Read the article and watch the video.

    "During a visit to Popular Mechanics last winter, Allgood converted a jar of murky liquid containing fecal matter into clear, potable water. (Yes, the editors drank it - after Allgood went first.)"

    This is real innovation that is going to save thousands of lives.

  16. Re:Firefox isn't helping on Google's Obfuscated TCP · · Score: 1

    I think it's pretty safe to say that the Firefox team is very innovative.

    Just now people are starting to complain loudly about self signed certs and the security warning. Give them some time.

    The last problem that was echoed all over the internet was memory leak, which was fixed on this major release.

    Maybe create a bug report suggesting a different behavior for this to make things faster?

    I have none of those certifications and half of your experience and I was able to get Vista 64 running on my white box with half of your resources (single core, 2Gb RAM).

    I'm sorry you don't like Vista. Maybe you should try Windows Mohave?

    And while we're at it, have they thought of the possibility of terrorist attacks? If they're outside any jurisdiction, they also have no military power to protect them from planes, boats, subs and whatnot.

    Google's moto is "Do no evil", so God will protect them!

    Now if you'll excuse me, I need to finish reading this book, "VP for Dummies".
