  2. Re:slight of hand on The Pentagon's $399 Billion Plane To Nowhere · · Score: 1

    Having just watched the F-22 demo team, which was fucking amazing, I was curious about this. Seems the F-35 is purposed as a multi-role solution whereas the F-22 is designed for air superiority. The F22 can move the entire elevator surface and apparently with thrust vectoring (and probably some other shit I don't know about) can do some crazy low-speed maneuvers including hover vertically, stall turns and flat spins.

  5. Re:Sue them for all they're worth on Microsoft Takes Down No-IP.com Domains · · Score: 1

    I have no idea the extent of this, but if enough legitimate customers were denied access to their content would this be grounds for a class action suit?

    Have phone encrypted, and wipe phone from the bootloader?

    I don't think so, if they could get people to labor for nothing they would. Think of the profit margin.

    I bet the citizens of Dubai get their shit delivered by drones.

  9. Re:Semi-related on Microsoft's Cloud Storage Service OneDrive Now Offers 15GB For Free · · Score: 0

    Not sure I've tried flickr, I will look into it. I liked dropbox for this, but I noticed the uploaded photo is usually reduced quality?

    Also, my OneDrive is currently showing 7GB total capacity, unless I gather other users.

  10. Semi-related on Microsoft's Cloud Storage Service OneDrive Now Offers 15GB For Free · · Score: 1

    I got notice that Ubuntu cloud storage services are coming to an end. Storage like this is handy for family photos, I'm not sure I would use it for anything else.

  11. Re:The known effect is ok on Workplace Surveillance Becoming More Common · · Score: 1

    We have to use vacation time for sick leave, so people are often at work while sick.. Its great. Also, the building I'm in is scheduled to get a surveillance system I imagine for the president to figure out where to be a larger pain in the ass.

  12. Re:Not so fast ... on Washington Redskins Stripped of Trademarks · · Score: 1

    What about all the baseball teams with Native American names, I thought one of the teams was going further to "embrace" the tribal name, but I forget the details...

  13. Re:The cloud on Code Spaces Hosting Shutting Down After Attacker Deletes All Data · · Score: 1

    When you say this had nothing to do with the "cloud" do you mean gases in the atmosphere? If not, what hell is the difference between the "cloud" and amazon hosted services? Also, if Amazon is unable to offer a "real support team" who the hell can?

  14. Re:Whelp... on Chinese-Built Cars Are Coming To the US Next Year · · Score: 1

    My last car was a Saab, I'd wager nearly every part in the car was stamped "GM" and "Made in China". Unfortunately I became very familiar with most of the parts.

    I've used this kernel with slimrom.net.

    http://forum.xda-developers.co...

    Currently using this ROM which comes with the previously mentioned kernel, either way works great.

    If you get trickster from the playstore you can change all kinds of settings with the custom kernel, but the stock settings work great.

    I'm using a custom rom/kernel in my tab2 that overclock the video and cpu chips, and its not too bad. I think my next tab will be an 8" version.

    Why don't you review the permissions from app settings, gives you a break down on time and what was accessed. Google keyboard that I don't used accessed my contacts 50 minutes ago.

    I could swear I setup a router for somebody on a charter modem and a ping from a windows box to google.com returned an ipv6 address..
     
    Also, I've been using HE ipv6 tunnel since the first ipv6 day(whenver that was) over a charter modem with good results. Traceroutes over ipv6 are often shorter than ipv4.
