  8. Re:Why does linux get this? on Adobe Releases New 64-Bit Flash Plugin For Linux · · Score: 1

    The fact there's a download for Windows and Mac has been covered. so I'll go with this:

    Because before Windows 7, no 64 bit home user Windows OS took off. xp 64bit was a butchery and a flop. Vista 64 bit was hardly heard of as there were no compatible drivers for anything. Windows 7 is the first consumer desktop OS which is readily available and accepted in 64 bit. There was no point to release one up until now. Handily, all three are released at the same time.

    Which is why you don't play the Ultimatum Game against each other. You are competing against yourself in your current situation. If you take the $20, you become $20 richer. If you don't take the $20, you are no richer.

    Your "Give me more than you" ultimatum results in a persistent loss for both, which is undesirable. Relatively you are no worse or better off. Realistically you are poorer.

  13. Re:People think its ok to use facebook at work? on Facebook the Most Dangerous Social Tool For Businesses · · Score: 1

    So what? If they spend all day on Facebook, they aren't working and shouldn't be paid. The logical conclusion is to sift off the cruft by letting them quit; Saves paying a severance package, should they have one. In this time, there are plenty of people who need jobs. Everyone is replaceable.

    I know a local Uni which uses a time-based approach to this for their office staff. Social Networking and personal email is blocked outside of the Lunch period, and lunch is assigned to half our slots between 12 and 2pm. Your account is linked to one of these half hour slots, and you get access during that time. Attempting to access these sites outside of your lunch gets you nowhere.

    People do need "microbreaks" to keep them alert, but you don't do that on Facebook. You check profiles, updates, you comment, like, accept / deny friend requests, play Mafia Farm, whatever, and half an hour is gone.

    Ultimately, the peons can't be trusted, and they earned the contempt employers have by taking the piss and spending all day posting on websites only tenuously related...

    Ah.

  20. Re:pay as you go on HTC Launches HD Phones and Updated Sense UI · · Score: 1

    Check out the HTC Wildfire. Approx $300 without a plan. That's pretty competitive for an HTC Android phone, and more than likely available on the lower-end tariffs.

  21. Re:I'm officially not a power user on HTC Launches HD Phones and Updated Sense UI · · Score: 1

    You are absolutely a power user. You carefully considered the options, and picked the correct device for your situation instead of being drawn in by the latest shiny-shiny "It's got the Wi-FI's and 720 HDs" overpriced poserphone.

    Kudos!

  22. Re:Battery life? on HTC Launches HD Phones and Updated Sense UI · · Score: 1

    NiMH batteries don't suffer from the "memory" effect. It's better to keep them charged as much as possible, purely because you reduce the risk of it running out of juice when you need it, and also prevents polarity reversal caused by complete discharge. You guessed it... That turns your battery into a fairly rubbish paper weight.

    The first part is the name of a domesticated animal of the Bovidae family. The second part (appended immediately to the previous word) is the TLD for Sweden. The TLD for the domain is the NYSE abbreviation for Cemex SAB de CV.
