  3. Re:Double Dipping? on Time Warner Defends Comcast In Level 3 Dispute · · Score: 1

    If every network operator were required to let other network operators connect to them for free, where exactly is the revenue going to come from for ISPs that don't have any retail customers?

    lolwut ? That is how the internet has worked since the beginning of time. Do you not understand that the internet is just a series of connected networks ? Comcast does have retail customers, so that is a moot point anyways.

    Why should Level3 get to connect to the network for free?

    Because their customers are paying for the privilege of accessing content from any provider

    Don't know about kaspersky being that great. I constantly get failed deployments both from a share and with the network agent. I will agree that MSSE is really a great solution for small businesses though.

    8 years and a bunch of torture, not to mention the difference in Chinese prisons vs American ones.

  7. Re:No need to fuss on MS Adds Security Suite To Update Service, Antivirus Rival Objects · · Score: 1

    MSSE is actually a decent product. I've used it on some clients that are a little, let's say economical, and it is far better than the other free alternatives. Low resource usage being one of the top things I look for, MSSE actually surprised me on that.

  8. Re:Then again, this is from on WikiLeaks Insiders Resign · · Score: 3, Informative

    Why is this marked troll ? He is spot on. These people left because of an egomaniac in charge - which by all accounts, Assange is just that. Just because wikileaks provides a overall needed service, doesn't mean that the people in charge are above reproach.

  9. Re:I hope there's a way to turn this off on Google Preps Instant Search For Chrome 8 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Google has already said that instant search will not search for 'adult themed material' even if safe search is off. Go ahead try typing in some of the most common porn searches. Anal, teen, hardcore, none of it will return results in instant search. And yes, I'm sure you will be able to turn off google instant just like you can now. http://www.google.com/instant/

    I have a hard time seeing what it would have to do with the FCC. I'll put my money on Verizon wanting this. Don't want anybody rooting their phone to get free tethering (much less actually OWNING a device they have paid for.)

    And as an aside, I highly doubt many of the critics of that video on the net could fully understand electromagnetism, such as the fact that relativistic transformations of transverse EM waves can swap the E & M field, for they are two sides of the same coin depending on the Lorenz transformation, or perhaps give a full analysis of Lenz's law and its implications.

    While that might be true there is this thing called 'google' and I'm told it can help you find information, rather than be content in releasing a song where you espouse idiocy and insult the very people who uncovered the answer to your query. I believe 'Violent murder-dick' or whatever his name is accused 'scientists' of some sort of deception, rather than 'googling magnets'

    Agreed. If hulu starts charging, I would gladly pay, as long as the commercials went away. There is only 1 show I watch that is downloaded illegally (the mentalist) and if CBS would pull their head out of their ass and put it online with a way for them to make money for themselves, I would gladly switch but until then... I will enjoy shows on my own time.

    A true democracy does not have to equal a direct democracy, but this is all semantics. The fact of the matter is we live in a place where our votes produce the people who will be voting for us. That is a democracy in spirit.

  19. Re:half a million? on No Verizon Partnership For Google's Nexus One · · Score: 1
    That is misleading when you say

    This is the same dynamic that has Apple as the number four (sometimes number five) PC maker in the US, even with only around an 8% market share. Further, Apple is number one in terms of profits. In other words, HP and Dell would rather trade places with Apple, than the other way round.

    as it implies that a majority of apples profits are from the PC which as anyone knows is completely off base. Apple would have gone off and died in the early 2000s if not for the iPod, and would be losing money today. In fact, according to apple's most recent (Q2) earnings report, http://images.apple.com/pr/pdf/q210data_sum.pdf Apple makes only 27% off of it's PC sales. So comparing a computer OEM manufacturer to Apple is like comparing Apples and Jupiter (Pardon the pun.) As far as being the number 1 profitable company, I would like to see the data that backs that up. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/04/20results.html indicates 15B in sales, yet after expenses, net profit is only 3B (20% profit.) Microsoft hands down CRUSHES apple in that front http://www.microsoft.com/msft/earnings/fy10/earn_rel_q2_10.mspx#income with 19B in revenue and 6.6B in net profit (34% profit). I'm no fan of MS, simply because they are so closed and..... anti-consumer..... wait.... that sounds like another tech giant.

  20. Re:What's the point? on Gizmodo Blows Whistle On 4G iPhone Loser · · Score: 1

    Apple knew who it was. He went into work the next day and told him he lost the phone. That is how they knew what phone to remotely brick. TFA makes it out like Gizmodo made it a point to single this guy out. In their response to apple wanting the phone back, they explicitly asked that Apple take it easy on the guy who lost the phone.

    God forbid anyone have a little fun 1 day out of the year. It's April fools day, Slashdot has been doing this forever, yet somehow people still fail to expect an April fools day joke on April fools, and then whine like it couldn't have been foreseen at every single article. If you really can't handle some people enjoying themselves, get away from /. for the day. Your SCO lawsuit, microsoft-blunder-of-the-week, MAFIAA, and LHC news will be back tomorrow. For today, you just have to take the needle out of your arm.

    They don't ask for your name, just location, which I am ok with. It's a census year anyways and I plan on participating which is more of a threat to my privacy than a nameless broadband test.

  24. Re:Emi on EMI Cannot Unbundle Pink Floyd Songs · · Score: 1

    It used to be a great station, but the 'commercial-free' part of it is now a joke. They have more 'not-commercials' than all the other stations around here. I know they were (don't know about now) the only station in the US that promoted new rock music while still being listener supported. They support local business and all, but I want to listen to music, not some pre-recorded DJ drone on about local hydroponics supply stores.

  25. Re:What is your OS? on Best Resource For Identifying Legit Applications? · · Score: 1

    Take the plunge. Assume, and I know this sounds crazy, but just for a moment assume that like 92% of people who have a computer, that it is a windows machine. That is one thing I am sick of people doing on help boards. First question is OS, next response is always 'windows' unless it is a mac forum. Stop answering a question with a question and actually try and help. And how exactly would this help someone determine what is malware ? Malware is malware, regardless of what version of windows you are running.
