  1. Re:No NYC on Google Fiber Pondering 9 New Metro Areas · · Score: 1

    Google is just looking for Low hanging fruit, to make it seem like they are making a change, while side stepping solving the problem.

    We got Big Cities NY, LA, Boston... That Google will not go too, because they will have a big fight against the current carriers.
    We got Rural and small cities area... That need band with too, however Google won't go there because they are too small to sound good. So they go with these mid sized cites.

    Not doing evil, doesn't mean you are doing good.

    Then vegans need to get over themselves.
    To try to get a balanced diet they are eating so much processed food to try to match what we get from a piece of cheese or an egg.

    They talk about it being more environmentally friendly, however how many of these ingredients that you growing, then cutting, and processing the hell out of them are you using. You "egg" is made from an acre of Soybeans, don't you feel good about yourself, with a good portion of it going to waste. While my Egg is from a chicken that has eaten 1 acre of feed and produced hundreds of eggs during its lifetime. And the chicken works as a rather efficient little factory of making eggs.

  4. Re:Why is C# .Net used for medical devices? on Healthcare Organizations Under Siege From Cyberattacks, Study Says · · Score: 1

    Why use C#? Well it is actually rather simple. In many areas they are easier to find developers, then with Java or C.
    Microsoft Products don't suck as much as Slashdot makes them out for. Windows 2000 onward have been very stable, and for the past decade I have seen more Linux Kernel Crashes than Blue Screens of Death. Making your product in C# vs Java isn't that big of a deal, the real issue that I find, is that you are Stuck on Windows, and that sucks because you may want to be flexible with your next upgrade, and at least be able to stick it to Microsoft the next time you renegotiate your licences. (Well all our key apps are Java, if you don't lower your license rate by 20% then we figure it will be cheaper to migrate it all to Linux)

    Healthcare has this other problem. It has been 10 years behind the rest of the technology. You go events pushing state of the art healthcare technology and you see it is stuff that other industries have been using for year. Right now their big push is adding Business Intelligence to their software.

    Well for one, I know a lot of gammers hate to hear it, IT IS JUST A GAME! If you don't like it don't play the game.

    Secondly Cheaters really ruin it for everyone else. Most players play online because they want to test their skills against others using the fixed set of rules. I remember being impressed when I played War Craft II and I found my unintended army gone, with no alerts. Just because they were all turned into a bunch of sheep. Annoying yes, I didn't care to loose however the player was being creative with the rules in the game.

      If you want to win base off of cheating, you should find a server for cheaters and see who's cheats are the greatest.

  10. Re:Really?!?! on Windows 8 Metro: The Good Kind of Market Segmentation? · · Score: 0

    Microsoft is trying to hold the old view of the Desktop Computer and OS. Being Mobile, a PC, or a Server they should all follow the same look and feel.

    Now their big mistake is the fact that the PC is becoming less of a PC and more of a work station.

    PC Users need less user friendly happy touchy feely stuff, and more serious workstation stuff. Home users will be using tablets and their phone for the basic personal computing.

    Now it Windows 8 Interface isn't as bad as Slashdot makes it out... However it isn't good for working as Work Station type of work. The full screen tiles distracts you from your job, and apps frames are not so useful as you cannot really control them too well.

    Windows and Server should really be more workstation level friendly and less cutisy.

    Except for some interesting aspects that make net neutrality a real issue.

    Most of our high speed internet companies, are also ones who offer us TV and/or Telephone service too, and are often with partnerships with other companies. That means they are offering a pipeline to their direct competitors. High bandwidth services such as VoIP and Streaming Media, are often in direct competition with the subsidiaries of your ISP. Being that they are indeed high bandwidth, give your ISP alternative reasons to throttle the site besides just because they don't want you to go there.

    Racism still exists, however its nature has changed.

    The left likes to use the idea of Old Racism as a way to make them feel superior, however most of them are guilty of racist activities and they don't really know about it.

    For example, how does one feel if they have an immigrant from the UK or France to work at your job, vs Someone from Mexico or India?

    Do you feel uncomfortable driving threw minority neighborhood, do you lock your door just in case?

    Having the government help the minorities is a good way to make you feel good without getting your hands dirty.

    Sure we need government for protection but when does protection start to cost your liberty. Or creates a culture of fear.

    We can't have Land of the Free OR Home of the brave.

    Because we are afraid of everything, we have elected to give up our freedom in trade of safety.

    After 9/11 there was little talk about this attacks being the price we may pay to live in a free society, and more talks about how to stop it again. Then we complained how these people were even allowed on the plane before, because of lack of proper intelligence.

    After the Boston Marathon Bombing, citizens gladly sacrificed their freedom and locked themselves at home until the bomber was caught. Then we complained left and right how we could have let these minor hints get us by and let these people back into the us.

    We Cannot live in a free society when we are afraid of the bad man getting us. To live in a free society we need to stand up and face these problems even if it means our death.
