  1. Re:Sprint contract SPLOOGE on Sprint Details Shift To LTE · · Score: 1

    You're bitching about an extra $10 charge to keep your unlimited data? It's still cheaper than any other post-paid carrier besides T-Mobile, which is pretty horrendus as far as coverage goes.

  2. Re:So serious on Can Twitter and Facebook Deal With Their Dead? · · Score: 1

    http://www.amazon.com/Daemon-Daniel-Suarez/dp/0451228731/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1281627152&sr=8-1 That's basically what this book is about. It's a pretty entertaining read. It's about the owner of a gaming company, and he knew he was going to die, so he has all these programs running to check for his obituaries, and it sets forth a big series of events. I really liked it.

  3. CDW, Newegg, etc on Internal Costs Per Gigabyte — What Do You Pay? · · Score: 0

    Well at my job we pay whatever the current prices are from our vendor. CDW seems to have pretty reasonable prices, and we do a lot of other ordering from Newegg and Border States Electric (they're regional to up north by MN, IIRC.) so we get pretty good prices as far as I can tell. Sounds like the OP needs to talk to some vendors.

  4. Re:no-harm no-foul on Tennessee Town Releases Red Light Camera Stats · · Score: 1

    Totally off-topic, but I'm going to be living in Fargo in less than a month! I'm about 3 1/2 hours away, currently living in northern Minnesota. I'm entering NDSU as a freshman pursuing a double major in CS and Criminal Justice. Good to know that there are /.'ers in Fargo.

  5. Re:mediacoder on Encoding Video For Mobile Devices? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No kidding. The finer points of the GPL are lost on me as well, but god damn. The guy is actively trying to fix the problem with FFmpeg and I'm over halfway through the thread and they have been nothing but unhelpful assholes to him.

  6. Re:Can we say, Sprint NASCAR?!? on 'Bloatware' Becoming a Problem On Android Phones · · Score: 2, Informative

    Root your Android phone and then you can remove it.

  7. Re:Really? on Open Source GSM Cracking Software Released · · Score: 1

    I'm not a cell phone guru, but it's something like this: 3G is a "standard" (not an official one IIRC) of how fast data transfers are on a cellular network. If a phone is 3G capable, it supports these faster speeds. The GSM spectrum is divided into different bands, depending on where you're at in the world. Eg, a phone that gets 3G service in the US most likely won't get 3G service in Europe. On the flipside, you can get 3G speeds on CDMA networks (VZW is CDMA) but it's more commonly referred to as EV-DO. 3G is just a measure of potential speed for the most part.

  8. Re:Parsed and stored? on Google Releases Wi-Fi Sniffing Audit · · Score: 1

    I just have my SSID as "dontfuckingusethis"..

  9. Re:It's because FOSS is no longer the biggest fear on Microsoft .Net Libraries Not Acting "Open Source" · · Score: 1

    OH SNAP!

  10. Re:Still Overpriced? on New MacBook Pros Launched · · Score: 1

    Do you know where you can purchase previous generation MacBook and MacBook Pros? The current generation (not these new ones) fit the bill nicely for me and I would imagine that they're discounted since the new models are out.

  11. Re:A good thing on France Bans Use of 2.0 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now if we could only ban "v6".

    Yes, I prever v8. It tastes way better.

  12. Re:Easy enough to avoid on New Software For Employers To Monitor Facebook · · Score: 1

    You do realize you can block Facebook apps, right? I haven't seen any Farmville shit in any of my feeds in a long time.

  14. Re:Sweet spot on The Awful Anti-Pirate System That Will Probably Work · · Score: 1

    It's like saying chlamydia is a normal part of having sex. It's only if you hang around with the wrong type of girl

    I wouldn't go that far - your mother is a very nice woman.

  15. Re:So let me get this straight... on Hackers Counter Microsoft COFEE With Some DECAF · · Score: 1

    The parent made a joke in reference to the GP's post. It's a joke! God damn, just laugh! It was funny!

  16. Re:Have you looked elsewhere ? on What Can I Expect As an IT Intern? · · Score: 1

    I was started out on $8/hr pay from my high school when they hired me on as a tech assistant. 8 dollars an hour sounded pretty good to a high school senior. (This was last summer, I'll graduate in 2010)

  17. Re:I think you've already decided... on Ethics of Releasing Non-Malicious Linux Malware? · · Score: 1
  18. Re:No Cheating on Microsoft Disconnects Modded Xbox Users · · Score: 2, Informative

    The modding they're talking about in TFA is direct backups of games. There are no hacks in the actual gameplay.

    Dress nice and make sure your pants don't get ripped.

  20. Re:oh Microsoft... on Xbox 360 Update Will Lock Out Unauthorized Storage · · Score: 1

    Including? That's all there is. "Backups". I know this, as I am a pirate. Yarrr.

  21. Re:What's wrong with this picture? on FBI Investigates Liberator of Court Records · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly certain that the FBI has bigger things to worry about than someone uploading public docs with an unauthorized tool.

  22. Kinda like my school last year. on Chinese Schools Ax Green Dam Censorship Software · · Score: 5, Informative

    We had a SonicWall filter and it blocked pretty much everything. Not saying it was SonicWall's fault as we had a highly incompetent system administrator, but it was very detrimental to doing even the simplest of tasks. So I know how these students and teachers feel.

  23. Re:Fast flip? on Google Wants To Ease News Browsing With Fast Flip · · Score: 2, Funny

    People are lazy and want it done for them

    No kidding. Mind telling me what TFA actually says?
