    RealID is completely voluntary. They even backed of on the requirement of it's use on their forums.

    "because of the bad rep they are getting from all the iphone 3g users who's phones are now slow and unstable on ios4."

    iPhone 3G users should upgrade to iOS 4.1 the speed and stability issues are history (at least on my 3G YMMV)

    I know this is just my own experience, but I've still got original C64 games that still load just fine.

    "Captain Sisko being in command of a fleet of 600+ ships during the most pivotal battle in Federation history."

    Forget about Admiral Ross? He was there and in command of the Starfleet forces.

    If tobacco and liquor are allowed and have the same detrimental effects, then I don't see the logic.

  8. Re:Seriously on Twitter Closes Hole After Attack Hits Up To 500K Users · · Score: 1

    "and add features nobody wants" going by the demand for url shortening services, TwitPic, TwitVid, etc, etc. It's obvious there is demand for new features.

    Installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition and my wired and wireless connections worked out of the box. No he doesn't have a point.

  10. Netbook edition on Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    I stuck with Windows 7 on my netbook (Toshiba N205) for a few months and decided to bite the bullet and try Ubuntu Netbook Edition. Everything (with one minor caveat) worked out of the box. I only get sound if I'm using headphones but the speaker on my netbook is so piss-poor I don't consider it an issue.
    I'm extremely pleased with it :)

  11. Re:Comparisons like this don't mean squat... on Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    My iPod 5G has the last firmware that was ever released and it works fine under Linux. I'm one firmware release behind on my iPhone and it works perfectly as well.

    *shrug* Twitter has got to make money.

  13. Re:I'm confused on Twitter Gets a Tweak · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Twitter probably looked at all the 3rd party sites like TwitPic, Twitvid, etc and saw there was a demand.

  14. Re:Yay marketers! on Twitter Gets a Tweak · · Score: 1

    No one says you have to follow marketers. I've got a core group of friends who are fans of a particular singer and their feeds are usually pretty interesting, and I've actually formed some RL friendships from it.

    You have too much faith in the typical /. reader. I did rtfa and you're 100% correct. This is a non-issue.

    If you're aware of the limitations of the devices and decide you can't live with them, then don't buy 'em. It has nothing to do with the functionality of a Mac.

    Um, you do realize that you can use Flash on a Mac right? Also you can download alternative media players to your hearts content.

    For all those telling me to research for specific laptops that work with Linux. If I was going to restrict my purchases to computers that are comparable with a certain operating system, why not just buy a Mac laptop?

    "1) Buy Laptop.
      2) Install Linux."

      3) Pray that all the features of the laptop are supported under Linux (not a troll - I have a Toshiba NB 205 Netbook that I'd love to run Linux on but there isn't a single distribution out there that supports all the features, at least not reliably or without heroic efforts)
