  1. Re:keeping 4g off should be automatic on 4G Phones Are Really Fast — At Draining Batteries · · Score: 1

    3.5g = 4g

    Dropping from 3.5G to 3G saves no power though, only dropping back to 2.5G (EDGE) will help in the power department.

    Oh wait, I just remembered why my Treo's battery lasted so long. The keyboard backlight burns power like crazy, I used the app KBlightsoff to keep it off most of the time. It was a commercial app which you might have trouble finding now, if so send me an email...

  3. Re:truly breaking reporting on 4G Phones Are Really Fast — At Draining Batteries · · Score: 1

    I had one of those, it could go a week if you didn't use it much, after an average day of use the battery would be in the 60%-70% range. Sometimes I'd go two or even three days without a charge and still make it, I never ran it completely flat. If you were running yours flat every day without using it constantly something is wrong.

    My N900 now, absolutely needs to be charged every night, and it wore down its first battery to the point that it was barely making it through the work day in just about two years.

  4. Re:Drastically reduced profits? on The iPhone Is a Nightmare For Carriers · · Score: 3, Funny

    DID YOU KNOW that the execs' kids had to swim in a gold-rimmed pool? How are kids supposed to learn to swim without a platinum-rimmed pool!?

    They all wept into their caviar and took a private jet to a sad violin concerto in Italy.

  5. Re:"Loaded and inflammatory" on RIAA Chief Whines That SOPA Opponents Were "Unfair" · · Score: 4, Funny

    From now on maybe we should call censorship "marshmallowship" or "kittencuddleship."

    It's rent-seeking parasitism all the way down!

  7. Online Dating on Study: Online Dating Makes People "Picky" and "Unrealistic" · · Score: 1

    Like many things in life, it's only relevant if you live within driving distance of a first-world city.

    I can reach an international airport by land, but that's about as close as I am connected to a first-world city.

    Same here. Let's do away with these superfluous words :-P

    Well that was fun but you can't blame the cops for finally starting to secure their radio communications.

  14. Re:Who is going to decide what "improved" means? on Proposed Law Would Give DHS Power Over Privately Owned IT Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    You joke but if it's anything like a corporate IT audit, those are exactly the kinds of changes you'd see. They'd run through a checklist and if whatever you're using doesn't appear on it because it doesn't have a big enough name in the corporate world, you'd fail compliance and have to switch to a certified product. Like maybe swap out your no-name "puffsense?" box for a WatchGuard(tm) unit.

    And to anyone who thinks "ow my balls" is an exaggeration, the title of the real-life show was "kicked in the nuts."

    Letting education slide is all it takes. People are naturally dumb and most won't go out of their way to learn about things that won't immediately benefit or entertain them. Plus if you turn politics into a team sport they'll always root for the home team.

    Well drawn password locks are a joke so that's no problem. I guess a keyfile name or path could be brute-forced the same way.

  22. Completely stupid and wrong on Tapeheads and the Quiet Return of VHS · · Score: 1

    It's like these people don't know that piracy and self-publishing (or viewing self-published movies) exist. No movies are lost, it's easier to release and spread low-budget movies than ever, the available collection is bigger than ever. If you only work within the law and pretend you can't view self-published movies then you're living in the world of RMS' Right to Read and it's your own cowardly fault for boxing yourself in.

  23. Re:What's needed on Defendant Ordered To Decrypt Laptop Claims She Had Forgotten Password · · Score: 1

    Both. They use write blockers to take an image and then work with that image, so that even if the hardware is tampered with (or fails) there's little chance of the evidence being destroyed.
