  1. Re:Dig out those Dialup Modems on Syria Drops Off the Internet Grid · · Score: 1

    Nothing was mentioned about shutting down international calls, but if that's the case, might as well shutdown the whole damn country!

  2. Re:Dig out those Dialup Modems on Syria Drops Off the Internet Grid · · Score: 1

    No, you call an "out-of-country provider". That was the point I was trying to make.

  3. Dig out those Dialup Modems on Syria Drops Off the Internet Grid · · Score: 1

    If you can get a working land line, there is always Dialup Providers you could call. Better than nothing I suppose, especially if its an emergency.

  4. Re:$1500 for a 1366x768 TN display. on Dell's Ubuntu Ultrabook Now On Sale; Costs $50 More Than Windows Version · · Score: 1

    I thought XPS were Dell's High End Gaming laptops. Why does it only have an Intel HD 4000 graphics? That's a piece of crap!

  5. Re:Does it really improve local forecasts? on PressureNET 2.1 Released: the Distributed Barometer Network For Android · · Score: 1

    The pressure in my home is different than outside, especially during winter months. I have a digital weather station on my wall, and the sensor has to be placed outside, so fail to see how useful this is going to be on phones.

  6. Re:amazon's immense size on Cyber Monday and Amazon's Online Dominance · · Score: 1

    Must be another one of those "Tax the Rich" concepts. Only, it's the middle class that pays it.

  7. Re:I used Amazon for most of my shopping on Cyber Monday and Amazon's Online Dominance · · Score: 1

    Amazon doesn't always provide free shipping, even with a prime account. I've purchased things that didn't qualify for free shipping because the item was provided by another vender, even though it's listed on Amazon. I say, if your going to list anything on Amazon, then you should eat the shipping, or Amazon should compensate prime users for shipping costs.

  8. Re:screw "cyber monday" on Cyber Monday and Amazon's Online Dominance · · Score: 1

    Yea, I haven't found any deals worthwhile this year. The TV I purchased last December is still cheaper than the best deals out so far. And what's up with Black Friday lasting a whole damn month. I've seen Black Month, Black Week, Black Weekend, After Black Friday, on and on. Your best sales is usually end of year, and clearance items.

  9. Couple things RIM should do on NTSB Dumps BlackBerry In Favor of iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    Find a carrier that will allow them to sell Smart Phones without a data plan required. I liked the BB flip phone, I thought it was a great idea but didn't think it was worth paying the extra money for a data plan. Lets face it, if you're going to pay $30 extra a month for data, you want a phone that will make most use of it. Alternatively, RIM could just join forced with Android and still make their uniquely designed phones around an OS with much greater support. Just my 2 cents.

  10. Re:security camera license? on Mannequins That Watch Shoppers · · Score: 1

    Must be a new "Use Tax" law. Leave it to the greedy politicians to find new ways to tax us.

  11. Maybe on Project Orca: How an IT Disaster Destroyed Republicans' Get-Out-The-Vote Effort · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The Democrats are just better at frauding votes!

  12. Re:Moron on The Information Age: North Korean Style · · Score: 1

    Obviously you know nothing about Korea, and nothing about networking. I've been there, and a cell tower in the southern border of the DMZ could reach a good distance on the north side. You can also create mesh networks like they have done with OLPC in Africa. So please keep your rants brief, I don't need a history lesson about North Korea.

    I don't need to imagine it, I'm already living it.

  14. Re:Airdrop cheap tablets like leaflets on The Information Age: North Korean Style · · Score: 1

    You could create a mesh network, like they have done with the OLPC "one laptop per child" . Each tablet connects to each other till it gets an Internet connection across the southern DMZ.

  15. Re:They should open up to certain sites on The Information Age: North Korean Style · · Score: 1

    Kim Jong-un News - Chabez News - Obama News; I'm sure there is a lot in common.

  16. Airdrop cheap tablets like leaflets on The Information Age: North Korean Style · · Score: 3, Funny

    Cheap Tablets with limited 3G bandwidth and full access to the Internet. Let the real revolution start!

  17. Re:The future of America under President Obama on Barack Obama Retains US Presidency · · Score: 1

    As strange as it may seem, most of the population actually agree with Obama's views on civil liberties and due process. We live in an upside down world now.

    This years election is a big win for the queers and druggies. I guess we know where this country is heading.

    You're lucky. This new election brought us legalized drugs, gay marriage, stock market decline, record deficits, and high unemployment.

    Colorado legalizes marihuana, Maine passed same sex marriage, welfare on the rise. Maybe I'm just old fashion, but I guess that's what the people want.

  21. Biggest threat to intelligent life on Killer Asteroids Are Good For Life · · Score: 1

    is not asteroids, but intelligence itself. It's more plausible that intelligent life self-destructs on it's own without any intervention, because that's the end result to intelligent life.

  22. Re:Fermi Paradox on Killer Asteroids Are Good For Life · · Score: 2

    The Universe is full of life, it's their time and distance that sets them far apart. It's like trying to locate a firefly across the globe within a 1 second window.
