  1. Re:Cone of SIlence on Mobile Devices Banned From UK Cabinet Meetings Over Surveillance Fears · · Score: 2

    Unless you're holding you're meeting in a Faraday Cage I can turn a pair of old Sony Walk-man Headphones into a listening device without even touching them. It's not difficult.

    Yes but does the blood taste of chicken

  4. Re:The ban was always bullshit anyway on FAA To Allow Use of Most Electronic Devices Throughout Flights · · Score: 1

    Actually I think it's more to do with the fact that old PCN & GSM phones gave off quite a bit of interference (I remember my first GSM phone would cause the fire alarm bell mechanism to ring when it was finding the network or someone rang me). Most phones these days hardly use those spectrums and anyway you've still got keep the phone in flight mode.

    video of dubious taste

    Hey I was just being sarchastic whilst pointing out you can watch Youtube and drive at the same time sadly some fucktard will do it which is why half the ridiculous laws in existence were invented.

  11. What's the problem? on U.S. Will Not Provide Financing For New International Coal-Fired Power Plants · · Score: 1

    They were only going to spend the money on weapons as usual!

  12. Re:It begins on UN Mounts Asteroid Defense Plan Following Chelyabinsk Meteor · · Score: 1

    Now I'm more worried that a huge UN committee will slam into the earth causing devastation!

  21. Re:American Exceptionalism and Moral Superiority on New York City Considers Articulated Subway Cars · · Score: 1

    These kinds of train are much better on the whole (Transport For London had the London Overground fitted with these) however one problem is beggars can now do the length of the train with ease. However, this is a minor issue and the benefits of the trains far outway it.

  22. Re:Bullshit we won't notice on Redesigned Seats Let Airlines Squeeze In More Passengers · · Score: 2

    I'd be interested to know what impact this new seat design will have on the incidence of DVT's

  23. Re:choice doesn't *require* bad defaults on Is Choice a Problem For Android? · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Actually not spreading FUD so dismount that horse just stating facts there are literally hundreds of different Android distributions out there even if you just limit it to the market leaders for Android you're still talking mid thirties and that's without even looking at the differences between Ice-Cream Sandwich, Gingerbread, Kitkat etc... If it takes you a week to test on Apple it's going to take months on Android.

    BTW my phone & tablet are both android so I'm by no means an Apple O'Phile

  24. Re:choice doesn't *require* bad defaults on Is Choice a Problem For Android? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Hey I'm not complaining I have Android and love it it's just I know dev teams and most of them wont support Android just because it's such a pain in the arse to test your app on. Oh it may work on a Galaxy S4 but you still have to test on every fucking flavour (For which there are lots). Most of the Dev teams I know (and I know a few) would rather write for Blackberry than Android because there are only 2 handsets at the moment.

  25. Re:choice doesn't *require* bad defaults on Is Choice a Problem For Android? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not the users that are the problem its the dev teams because if you're writing for Apple you only need to test on few handsets & tablets. However, if you're writing for Android you need to test on fucking hundreds of different hand sets because each manufacturer has fucked with the OS. So either apps don't get written for android or if they do they normally get approx 100th the testing apps get on Apple.
