    Ahh, this is such a great canard. Do all people have such a choice? And how long until they are all filtering so that even the people with a choice lose them?

    What was wrong with Synaptic that it needs replacing?

    The clunky GUI?

    That was entirely his point. Did you even bother to read the post that was being responded to?

    What if they remove apt-get next?

    Yeah, because Google could never possibly do anything wrong. I mean their motto even says so, right?

    The copyright owner of a little used work

    Huh? It's the cover image of a quadruple platinum album. It is quite far from a "little used work".

    But what if your lawsuit isn't bullshit but you happen to be going against someone who can afford the army of lawyers to defeat you? How is that fair? All something like that will do is making it so only the rich and powerful can ever afford to sue anyone.

    Then maybe stop buying shitty phones? The last 2 phones I've owned used MicroUSB to charge.

    Which is not the same as their "business model failing" or such nonsense as " If that is the case, it is only a matter of time until Tesla closes its doors." You summary is nothing but fucking troll bait.

    Sure if you ignore the fact that these spammers also game the system so their content rises above everyone else.

    No shit. I want to know what sort of gas mileage it would get if it was carrying a normal-sized adult human.

    That depends. Are we talking normal size the world over, or "normal-sized" by American standards? Since the average adult American is obese, I think you're going to skew the numbers either way you go.

    Tesla is not going away. The summary is total trollbait.

  14. Re:What about latency? on Bill Would Make Carriers Publish 4G Data Speeds · · Score: 1

    They should probably be forced to publish all that info. And why just 4g? That seems rather stupid to limit it only to that service. They should be providing accurate numbers to their customers rather than those coverage maps they show that are mostly total lies.

    Surely it depends on the device you are using and the area you are in...

    And? Are you saying these companies don't have that info? Please...

    The bill obviously has good intentions but it'll be hard to maintain the info.

    Boohoo?

    It matters for add-ons. If they bump to a version past what is an allowable maxVersion string they will break many plugins and it will cause plugin writers to have to go through constant churn of bumping version numbers to keep up so their plugins don't run into issues.

  18. Re:Forget the Version Numbers on No Additional Firefox 4 Security Updates · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Except that the version numbers do matter when it comes to plugins and the maxVersion string. They are going to be breaking add-ons left and right with this shit.

  20. Re:Dead on Arrival! on Best Buy Releases Their Own Music Cloud · · Score: 1

    Why would one use iTunes in the first place when CDs are cheaper, less lossy and provide automatic backups of themselves once you rip them.

    Because CDs aren't cheaper? And one can buy individual tracks from an album without having to buy the whole thing? Because in most cases no one is going to hear the difference between the CD and the high bitrate tracks from iTunes (as backed up by vast amounts of ABX testing)? Because most CDs aren't mastered that great anymore so the benefits of CDs have mostly been mooted from the start?

    The monopolies that local governments were paid by the cable companies to give out should be undone.

    FTFY. They should also pay us back all public money given to them to build their infrastructure and they better remove their cables from public-owned land. "Their property" should also removed from public lands at their own cost or they better pay fair market value for the land they are using. It's amusing to listen to little Randtards like yourself whine all about how the government is doing all this bad stuff and should get out of their "private property" when they only way they would have been able to lay that "private property" was because the government gave them grants of money and land to do so.

    It's amusing, because many opponents actually agree that the problems that Net Neutrality seeks to prevent are valid problems that should be dealt with, they just don't believe those problems will actually occur and thus government regulation to prevent them is unnecessary.

    Except for the fact that those problems are occurring? Have you been living in a hole for some time now?

    Yes and those monopolies were granted completely out of the blue without any lobbying on the part of the telecoms and cable companies. No, they clearly made huge public outcries against these monopoly grants that the local municipalities forced upon them. Are you fucking kidding us? Seriously, these telecoms and cable companies bought the people who are granting them those monopolies and are clearly colluding with each other so they don't have to actually compete. Hence why you never really see Time Warner or Comcast competing nor AT&T and Verizon when it comes to DSL.
