    Possibly.. just when you thought he was gone. ..

  2. Re:Several reasons come to mind... on Kim Dotcom Raid - What Really Happened · · Score: 1

    Actually, not sticking up for old Johnny boy, but wasn't it his governement that put on hold the original 3 strikes law (after much kerfuffle) to get what we have today and not what was originally proposed? (although both are bad, I am sure the original bill was even more evil)

  3. Re:Cost of geek food going up on Bad Software Runs the World · · Score: 1

    On arriving in the US a few years ago, being someone who likes mexican food, hungry and tired after a long flight, I found my way to Taco Bell.

    I think that my travel agent should have warned me before departure, or provided some literature so that I could make an informed decision. .

    There is no sanctuary

  5. Memristors on The HP Memristor Debate · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For those like me that went huh?

    The memristor ( /mmrstr/; a portmanteau of "memory resistor") was originally envisioned in 1971 by circuit theorist Leon Chua as a missing non-linear passive two-terminal electrical component relating electric charge and magnetic flux linkage. More recently the memristor definition was generalized by Leon Chua to cover all forms of 2-terminal non-volatile memory devices based on resistance switching effects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor

    Personally, I still have no idea.

  8. Re:Leave my Hearing Aids Alone on Apple Plans Hearing Aid Social Networking · · Score: 1

    Working in techology in public health, most of the iPads and iPhones around here are with managers and are used more as mobile email tools.

    Having legacy applications, most sitting on windows machines has seen no practacle move to the tablet. Infact, the standard P.C build around here is winXP with i.e.6 and Office 2003 as some of our critical clinical applications have dependancies on these.

    yes, Apple has made communication on the go easier (or possibly more desireable) but as far as impact for front line clerical and clinical staff in the medical field; from where I am sitting, those roads are yet to be crossed.

    You never saw the Australian version

  15. Re:What is this talk of 'case'? on Kim Dotcom Offers the DoJ a Deal · · Score: 2

    This is what I was thinking. Even if the current case falls over, would they not try to book him on something else?

    Whilst in New Zealand, the US DoJ needs a larger stick to touch him. Entering the Lions den surely has the potential to put him at a larger disadvantage than he is in now?

    I thought that was the point of all of this?

  19. Re:A la Carte on Targeted TV Ads: Silver Bullet Or Privacy Nightmare? · · Score: 1

    Trouble is, providers would start spreading their content over more and more stations. And or make more and more substaions to make you want to buy more.

  20. Re:It's no surprise.. on Dotcom Search Warrants Ruled Illegal · · Score: 1

    It's no surprise that this happened the way it did, and that the rest of the world really despises us because of the way our government throws it's weight around.

    I was once proud to be an american. Perhaps I still am, but my pride is severely diminished as of late.

    It's no surprise that this happened the way it did, and that the rest of the world really sees us as soft because of the way our government lets other nations dictate policy to us mostly in t he name of "free trade"
