    If th user wants the same flash experience as the desktop, and they don't get it, they'll uninstall flash. Problem solved, everyone is happy.

    The IET is like the British IEEE.

    Rackspace is not a network provider. They own no copper/fiber outside their own facilities. They don't even own the copper/fiber connecting their various facilities together.

    The problem is that Rackspace is essentially declaring here that they themselves do not support free speech, and they will apply their legal right to limit speech they don't like.

    I don't see that as a problem. Rackspace has been open an honest about its policies against hate speech.

    Yeah, they just need to write an app for every platform. Great plan.

    Fox is only loyal to money as well. Just look at their local stations. They're liberal in liberal markets, conservative in conservative markets. It just so happens the conservative market is the most profitable on the national scale. The minute liberalism sells, Fox will change it's format. But currently it seems liberals aren't big fans of pontificating talking heads and opinion disguised as news.

    Not me. Thanks to denial, I'm immortal.

  10. Re:Luckily on Gaming Foursquare With 9 Lines of Perl · · Score: 1

    How far doesn't matter, only how long. And for virtually everyone, that is 9AM to 5PM or some approximation thereof. Thieves know you're going to be away for hours, and it only takes them minutes. You could be out getting milk and they'd have enough time to hit you before you got back.

    Like they need an app to know that a house with no cars in the driveway in the middle of the day on a weekday is empty.

    Probably, but why would you waste a still on that when you can make booze and just not drive?

  13. It's True! on Russian Scholar Warns Of US Climate Change Weapon · · Score: 1

    This is actually true. We call this climate changing weapon an "automobile".

    Butanol, actually.

    That's an odd reason to change the name, seeing as how the globe has only kept getting warmer.

    Compared to making the engine, yes, it's very cheap. That's why game companies are able to license an engine and churn out crap all day.

    People using their imagination to go beyond the limits of current technology

    This isn't a technological limitation. It's a physical limitation.

    Purchasing a T1 allows the person to make an agreement with an ISP of their choosing.

    Only because the government mandates that those lines be open to competitors.

    There are over 200 other countries. There are only 50 states. If it's variety you're after, go international.

    You actually have to redeem a gift card (Game time card) to get the PLEX. It's more akin to what you buy with your gift card than the gift card itself.
