  1. Re:can we please stop the steve jobs postings? on Steve Jobs' Missing License Plate · · Score: 0

    The giants of industry and the great innovators are NOT the touchy-feely "consensus seeking" type of people. They are the dictatorial no-nonsense types, who know they need to drive a bunch of egotistical minor technologists who think they are god's gift, (but really aren't), who want to go their own way, and force them down the path he wants them to follow towards his vision.

    Asserting your innocence? That's arguing with Police! you're under arrest!

  3. Be careful Samsung on Samsung Seeking Ban of iPhone 4S in Europe · · Score: 0

    Samsung, it would be shooting yourself in the foot to prevent Apple from marketing their products. Apple invents the new paradigm, (and whether they synthesize it from pre-existing technology or not is neither here nor there) and Samsung (et al) pretty much jump on the bandwagon and copy it, and make a lot of money out of it. If Apple goes away, who are you then going to copy in order to make your money?

    Because power != energy. Power x TIME = energy. This is why your power bill is for kilowatt hours, not just kilowatts.

  6. Re:Well it sounds better than on Hungry Crustaceans Eat Climate Change Experiment · · Score: 0

    This experiment has proved that iron fertilization is not going to work as a carbon storage strategy.

    No, not exactly proof it will never work. It just won't work in the location they chose to conduct the experiment. In the past, oil deposits were laid down in areas of oceanic stagnation, where the bottom layer (but not the top layer) of the ocean is a "dead-zone", ie no crawlies to eat up the dead algae/phytoplankton, and it just falls onto the sea-floor uneaten and builds up. If another location was chosen (eg the Gulf of Mexico or the Black sea which have stagnation zones), or somewhere else where it won't get eaten, then this might work a little better.

    My problem isn't that she complained, its that she seems to have a sense of entitlement about what Micrsoft can do with their network).

    It doesn't matter if it's their network or not, the law states (doesn't it?) that you can't discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, race, skin colour, culture or myriad other attributes. This applies to private as well as public spaces. Nobody should have to keep who/what they are quiet for fear of upsetting some-one. The idea that homosexuality and "family" are incompatible is an insidious lie spread by the religious.

  9. Re:Poetic justice? on Student Satirist Gets 3 Months; the Judge, Likely More · · Score: 0

    > And that will undo everything, will it? All those kids will be A-OK again? Yes actually, to a large degree. The victims will feel vindicated and that justice had been done, and their ordeal had been fully recognized and dealt with by the community. That goes a very long way towards making people "A-OK again". Contrast that with letting these creeps off the hook or a wrist-slap- This sends the message that the victim's ordeal meant nothing and should be just dismissed.

    Nonsense!!!! He simply used a facility which was made publicly available Using the actual configured passwords for a publicly available feature is NOT hacking. There is no exploit here. Why is he responsible for the cost of closing the hole he didn't make? He didn't have any malicious intent, he didn't destroy the publicly-available data. It's no more malicious than simply visiting their websites.
