  1. Re:Oops! on Jeb Bush Publishes Thousands of Citizens' Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    A surefire winner to lead the country... he will fit right in with the last two or three or four. I like clinton but even he made some very bad decisions. I did not like any of the Bushs. Obama I just don't get me started on him lol

  3. Re:Peanuts on Your Java Code Is Mostly Fluff, New Research Finds · · Score: 1

    Java is here to stay though. First off Oracle, HP and Symantec build almost all there tools in java so that pretty much guarantees survival. I know google is trying to get away from it for all HTML 5 all chromebooks don't even support java.

  4. Re:Typical on Microsoft Restricts Advanced Notification of Patch Tuesday Updates · · Score: 1

    I am thinking the same thing as ganjadude it gives hackers an extra few days to exploit those holes before there patched. For security reasons I understand but people have gotten so used to the old process. I been saying for a few years now why give away the security holes before the patches come out I agree with Microsoft on this change.

  5. Re:Death throes .. on BlackBerry To Allow Rivals To Manage Its Smartphones · · Score: 1

    I agree they may be loosing the one thing that made them special but again did it make them special or just put them further behind. They are one of the worse run companies in tech today. Technology just passed them by the lack of app support really hurt them more then anything.

  6. Re:Good for all the traitors on Sony To Make Movie of Edward Snowden Story · · Score: 1

    The Fifth Estate, The Social Network and Pirates Of Silicon Valley were good movies I enjoyed them. The Jobs movie I though was a terrible adaptation.

  7. Re:Huh? on Why Should Red Hat Support Competitors' Software? · · Score: 1

    I agree I mean if your running Novell (god help you) and you ask Novell to help you with a Red Hat issue. They won't why because they own suse. Same situation why would they support a product that they do not design. Someone at the Wall Street Journal needed something to write about on a slow news day.

  8. Re:Only Creative Cloud? on Adobe Creative Cloud Is Back · · Score: 1

    That's why the cloud is not always the best option for people despite what all these company's are pushing.

  9. Re:Soon to be mandatory to use data features? on AT&T, Audi Announce In-Car 4G LTE Plans, Starting At $99 For 6 Months · · Score: 1

  10. Re:How are those kind of things patentable? on Apple Demands $40 Per Samsung Phone For 5 Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Microsoft been doing the same thing for years back in 2006 and 2007 Microsoft was on a patent kick taking everyone to court. It stopped when Microsoft got taken to court over a patent issue with Office 2007 they were forced to payout which ended the patent tare Microsoft was on.

  11. Re:The post alludes to a flaw in xml-rpc, but... on Large DDoS Attack Brings WordPress Pingback Abuse Back Into Spotlight · · Score: 1

    We turn off comments and pingbacks because of just the pure amount of spam we were constantly dealing with on a regular basis. I agree this looks like a Wordpress flaw not an xml-rpc issue drupal or dotnetnuke are not having the same issue on there platforms.

  12. Re:Why do they need to unlock it? on Apple Refuses To Unlock Bequeathed iPad · · Score: 1

    This is problem with digital media how do you will it to someone unless you leave the username and password in your will or leave it in book some where. If you have a huge movie collection on DVD family can take that collection but what if your huge DVD collection is on amazon how do they access it unless you leave them the username and password.

  13. Re:Is that legal in the UK? on Mozilla Is Investigating Why Dell Is Charging To Install Firefox · · Score: 1

    A lot of hardware venders make money on installing the bloatware. I remember when I was building pcs for company right after college we used to install AOL on everything cause AOL payed the company. We installed eBay shortcuts, Nortain AV anything just to make a few extra dollars on computers. Dell has been hurting financially they probably need extra cash.

    With the Ubuntu phone OS porting over iOS and Android Apps its only a matter of time till we have an open platform.

  15. Re:RadioShack's business model on RadioShack To Close 1,100 Stores · · Score: 1

    I am a ham radio operator and I will run in there for a soldering wire for a few diodes cause there cheap enough and the shipping for electronics sites is a little pricey. But I refuse to over pay for linksys routers and cables for my surround sound system. Radio Shack prices are a little high for anything else besides the little things.
