  1. Re:Sad, but I can see doing it too on Man Robs Bank of $1 To Get Health Care In Jail · · Score: 1

    I work in health care, in a surgery department. I see insurance info all the time. Self-insured isn't an uncommon designation.

  2. Re:Real time? on Senator Releases First Senate Mobile App · · Score: 1

    Most "current" topics have been around for several years. There arent really many new issues, just rehashes of old ones.

  3. Real time information? on Senator Releases First Senate Mobile App · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Does his position change so frequently it has to be updated in realtime?

  4. Re:Very interesting on FitBot Lets You Try Clothes Before You Buy · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Goatse

  5. Re:Well on A Deep-Dive Look At Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 · · Score: 2

    Unless you are going to install every app in either market, that is a moot point. Most of the apps in both are worthless.

  6. Re:please on Why Groupon Not As Rosy As It Appears · · Score: 1

    That was my impression. She bit off more than she could handle and it failed.

    you'll be playing with yourself!

    Whats wrong with that?

  8. Qik on Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Its events like this that are the reason I have Qik on my phone. I've never used it, but give me 15 seconds to get started and I'll be uploading live video to a remote server. Go ahead and take my phone. Its already in the cloud.

  9. Re:How About ... on Amazon and Barnes & Noble Jostle Over Battery Life Figures for Nook, Kindle · · Score: 0

    Correct. I believe this is posted for the Kindle, around 6000 page turns if memory serves me. Disclaimer: I used to work in tech support for the Kindle. When I started I was an avid Amazon fan. I hate and boycott them now for the shitty treatment they give their employees.

  10. Re:You mean that cell phone store? on RadioShack Trying To Return To Its DIY Roots · · Score: 1

    Zip code data is useful to determine where to open new branches, but any more than that is too much imo.

  11. Re:This is stupid on Computer De-Evolution: Awesome Features We've Lost · · Score: 1

    PS. I especially like how they complained about grouping the close window icon with the minimize and maximize and how he "still occasionally" closes windows he wants to maximize. I don't think I have ever done that, or seen even the most incompetent user do it.

  12. This is stupid on Computer De-Evolution: Awesome Features We've Lost · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's nothing more than a bunch of old farts complaining about how the old days were better, when in fact most of that they want is still available or entirely unnecessary. Keyboards for example. I for one prefer new keyboards. I hated the old clicky style, but as others have shown, they are available for those who want them. Complaining about the scroll bar and not being able to click in the window to recenter? That might have been nice... in the days before the mouse wheel.

  14. Superuser.apk on Rooted Devices Blocked From Android Movie Market · · Score: 1

    I'm curious how they plan on detecting if it is rooted or not. The easiest rooting method for my phone (if your using stock roms) or any custom rom you install on your own, uses the Superuser app to request root access anytime an app wants it. If they just try to run a root command, its going to pop up asking to allow or not and all you have to do is disallow. Blammo. Your phone looks like its unrooted.

  15. Re:What a load of crap on Why You Shouldn't Panic Over Mac Malware · · Score: 1

    I am the "computer-guy" for a rather large volunteer-service organization. In an average week I probably get more "how do I do this" questions from that alone (ie, not including coworkers or family) than you likely do in a year.
    Note my actual position isn't supposed to be tech support. I'm just the web admin running schedules and membership rosters.

  16. Re:What a load of crap on Why You Shouldn't Panic Over Mac Malware · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have far far more people ask me for help with their iphones/ipads/ipods than any other piece of technology. I thought they were so easy to use?
    I always tell them I boycott apple and refuse to even try to learn, which I'm sure I could.

    HDMI to DVI/VGA adapters are pretty cheap too.

  21. Re:Rent To Own on Aaron Computer Rental Firm Spies On Users · · Score: 1

    Big difference between a $300 computer and a $100k house. Anyone who has any "need" for a laptop should be able to scrap together 300 in a few weeks or months, especially considering that its only two or three of the payments they would have to make for a rent-to-own deal anyway.

  22. Re:Rent a computer? on Aaron Computer Rental Firm Spies On Users · · Score: 2

    The point is that they don't need to save for long time. Two of their "low payments" would be enough to buy a decent system outright. If they can make the "low payments" they can save.

    And you need a 1000 dollar laptop for college? Funny, I did just fine with my 300 netbook.

  25. Re:VS2010 and smartphones on The Insidious Creep of Latency Hell · · Score: 1

    How much of that is connection lag and how much is UI though? The connection is understandable, depending on signal strength and other variables. UI lag is not. If its lag in the browser its probably connection related.
