  1. This was a BUSINESS not Design Decision! on Is Final Cut Pro X Apple's Biggest Mistake In Years? · · Score: 1

    The issues with Final Cut Pro X was a change in market focus, not a design problem. Apple is now a consumer electronics company through and through. If you want software for professionals you'll have to start looking elsewhere.

  2. What's next, a hybrid motor that runs on baby seal on New Process Allows Fuel Cells To Run On Coal · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What's next, a hybrid motor that runs on baby seal fat?

  3. Problem is the Commercials on Windows Phones Getting Buried At Carriers' Stores · · Score: 1

    The problem with Windows Phone 7 is the commercials, they are boring and forgettable. On top of that, the message of the commercials are people who spend time on their smartphones are losers which is the opposite message you should be sending to early adopters who you need to grab first.

  4. Yeah, the IPhone won on Has the Console Arms Race Stalled? · · Score: 2

    With smartphones becoming the main computer for the general public (not the /. crowd of course) it's no surprise that phones will take over as the main game 'console' for consumers. Video Game companies are still coming to grip or flat out ignoring this reality and $1.99 games.

  5. Not going anywhere on Draft Proposal Would Create Agency To Tax Cars By the Mile · · Score: 1

    I don't think tracking people to tax them is going to fly; a yearly tax based on how much a vehicle weighs would be simpler.

  6. All Software Violates Some Patents on Attachmate Fires Mono Developers · · Score: 1

    It's cute that some open source people believe there is any software that isn't violating some patent.
    Our patent system is broken and only seems to be getting worse.

  7. Re: The Public? Ha! on Need a Receipt On Taxes? The Federal Tax Receipt · · Score: 1

    Have you been paying attention? 'The Public' seems to be getting dumber every year. I think it's officially known as the Homer Simpson Syndrome.

  8. Nobody asked for this on White House To Drop Details of Cyber ID On Tax Day · · Score: 2

    Nobody asked for, or needs this expect maybe the government wanting track citizens and content companies wanting to track "pirates."

  9. Re:Waiting for them to wake up... on iPad Just Another TV Set? · · Score: 1

    That's why it won't happen; at least not unless they are forced to do so.

  10. Having both is fine on The Case Against GUIs, Revisited · · Score: 1

    Simply use the right tool for the job at hand; both GUIs and CLI have their place.

    This article reeked of 'get off my lawn'.

  11. Unless someone hacks your WIFI on Can You Really Be Traced From an IP Address? · · Score: 1

    An IP address only points to the person being billed for a service, it doesn't prove anything as far as who did what; especially if someone has cracked your WiFi.

  12. Re:Nothing New Here... on Using the Open Records Law To Intimidate Critics · · Score: 0

    I never hear Democrats talking about the "Fairness Doctrine" only Republicans bring it up as an imaginary Get Out of Jail Free card for whatever latest bullshit they are trying to pull.

  13. Governments will cause the future split in DNS. on When the Internet Nearly Fractured · · Score: 1

    With corporate interests pushing governments to use domain name forfeitures to punish people/groups it finds threatening to their interests, it will cause people to create new name services.

  14. We still have trouble treating each other as Human on Should Dolphins Be Treated As Non-Human Persons? · · Score: 1

    We still have trouble treating each other as Human Beings.

  15. Printing, the bane of every IT worker on Deferred IT Maintenance Is a Ticking Time Bomb · · Score: 2

    I think anyone who works in IT long enough comes to think of printing as the biggest waste of money in corporate America. How many forests have ended up as paper jams in a printer because a manager wanted to print his email.

  16. America Inc. on Does A Company Deserve the Same Privacy Rights As You? · · Score: 1

    Let's just rename this country to America Inc. already and stop fooling ourselves that it's still a country for "We The People".

  17. Law Enforcement Will Love These on New Toshiba Drives Wipe Data When Turned Off · · Score: 1

    Simply using one of these will eventually get someone convicted of destroying evidence; assuming Toshiba doesn't have a master key for law enforcement.

  18. OTA FTW on ABC Pulls Channels From Cablevision · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm so glad I finally got rid of cable. If you leave near a major city where your local stations are located, take a look at getting an indoor HD antenna. (I'm using the Winegard SS-3000, kinda big but works great.)

  19. Oh no, not another transporter accident! on Wormhole Generator (Kinda) Patented · · Score: 1

    This is the stuff bad episodes of Star Trek are made of. I cringe when I think of all the stinkers that resulted from transporter accidents. Except for the first one, of course. (Spock with a goatie = classic)
