  1. Honeycomb is not a full version on For Android Users, 2012 Is Still the Year of Gingerbread · · Score: 1

    I wish people would stop counting Honeycomb, it's a tablet-focused fork of android that isn't supposed to be on phones anyways.

  2. Re:No surprise. on On the iPhone and Apple's Meteoric Rise To the Top · · Score: 2

    Whoosh...

  3. Re:Hey, guess what! on Senator Wants 'Terrorist' Label On Blogs · · Score: 1

    Agreed, when any of these events is left to its own merits, it can easily be labeled as a terrorist act. However in context, they were coordinated (to some degree) to enable the Continental Army to succeed in overthrowing British rule in the colonies. Our own military used a coordinated barrage against Baghdad widely televised as "Shock and Awe". Counted on its own merits, it was large scale terrorism.

  4. Re:Second of many government backed failures on $529M DOE Loan Spawns $97K Made-in-Finland Cars · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I also agree with Ron Paul's proposal to cut the departments of the government whose sole purpose seems to be giving out said loans.

  5. Re:Media Center on A $25 PC On a USB Stick · · Score: 1

    Ya know, I always wondered how my computer output sound to my TV even though they're only connected by an HDMI cable, then I remembered, you can send audio signals across that same cable. Albeit, ups the price of the monitor.

  6. Already Possible? on Cable Channels Panic Over iPad Streaming App · · Score: 1

    Couldn't I technically do this anyway by properly setting up my computer with my cable box?

    Let's see:
    TV Tuner card
    Cable Box
    Wireless Router
    Ability to remote into computer hosting the TV Tuner

    Yep, looks feasible to me. Sure there might be some limitation with QAM/ClearQAM, but it certainly looks possible.

  7. Re:The Usual Microsoft Flip-Flop on Microsoft Says Kinect Left Open By Design · · Score: 1

    1. Rumor
    2. Streisand Effect
    3. Somebody else does the work
    4. ???
    5. Profit!

  8. Re:Auto Stereoscopy... on Hot Or Not — 3D TV · · Score: 1

    Hardware feature creep, not software.

    But even then he's still mostly wrong. Apple is one of the first to drop legacy technologies; the obvious one coming to mind is the 3.5" floppy drives. However, it is rather difficult to customize what you do/don't want in an Apple computer. You either get the whole shebang or a couple less features i.e. MacBook Pro vs. non-Pro (IANAMU, I'm not an Mac user).

    Hooray an explanation!

    I always wondered what was the deal with the stupid-looking folder convention

  11. Re:The extrapolation for lung cancer is badly flaw on Scientists Crack 'Entire Genetic Code' of Cancer · · Score: 1

    Well the summary actually says it's 30,000 mutations for skin cancer and 23,000 for lung cancer, but at least you got it right in your math.

  12. Re:Unsure. on The Perfect Way To Slice a Pizza · · Score: 2, Informative

    Congratulations, you didn't do any better...

    50 * 50 = 2500

    So it's 2500/pi cm^2. And if each person gets 1/10, that's 250/pi cm^2, or about 79.6 cm^2.

  13. Re:Other reason on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

    The place where one of my friends work has this policy in place because the factory workers cannot wear headphones, so the office workers can't wear them either. So the office workers brought in stereos. Granted, the majority of the workers listen to country music, but it can be very irritating to someone like my friend, who finds that to be all the more reason to want to strangle fellow co-workers.

  14. BAD MATH on Gigantic Air Gun To Blast Cargo Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    Seriously where did you learn to do your math...

  15. A series of tubes on US Wants UK Hacker To Pay To Fix Holes He Exposed · · Score: 1

    That's like asking him to pay for the grate and security guards to cover up the pipe he crawled through to get into the Pentagon...

  16. Re:EMP? Impending poverty? on Cursive Writing Is a Fading Skill — Does It Matter? · · Score: 1

    Wow, my country-water school has been teaching touch typing in the fifth grade since... well since they got a bunch of computers with 5-1/4 floppies (I don't remember what they were, just they only had 5-1/4 drives). I know the grade before me used them too, so at least since... 1995

  17. Re:Merketing trumps reason again... ;) on AMD's DX11 Radeons Can Drive Six 30 Displays · · Score: 1

    It could still support non-rectangular displays simply by cutting the corners off based on the resolution of the individual screens... How feasible that is would be another question entirely.

  18. Re:Tangential? Maybe, but on iPhone App Wins Microsoft-Campus Programming Contest · · Score: 1

    I remember reading some kind of rumor about WinMo or WinCE being dropped with all of the effort going to just one of the technologies. Of course, it could have just been someone's opinion of how MS should continue in the market...

  21. Re:PlaystationPhone or PhonePlaystation? on PlayStation-Based Mobile Handset a Possibility · · Score: 1

    I'm 23, I have the DS and PSP. The PSP has become my mobile media player and the DS is my mobile gaming device. Once I get a DSi and/or a homebrew card, the only purpose I have for the PSP is finishing Tactics (again, but with new stuff) and Crisis Core, which isn't very engaging and I haven't played it in months...

  22. Re:Oy. on More "Miles Per Acre" From Bioelectricity Than Ethanol · · Score: 1

    I imagine the little slot car tracks running from city to city and now I want to buy 20 sets to run around my house. I wonder how many teenagers/idiots/rednecks will attempt to pull some kind of prank or worse...

    I wonder how one would charge for using the system...

  23. Re:DoD wiping standards on Unclean Military Hard Drives Sold On eBay · · Score: 1

    Actually, it really depends on how good the IT/ET units are. A good unit will follow that DoD reg. for overwriting the drive, then proceed to vent some frustration on the hard drive through creative means, and then they will turn them in to the proper disposal authority. Lazy/greedy units will just sell them on eBay or throw them in a dumpster where may civilian will pick it up and sell it on eBay or use it.

  24. Re:If you check the "Custom Settings" it doesn't. on IE8 Update Forces IE As Default Browser · · Score: 1

    I must seriously be the odd one out... I did the upgrade for IE8 but it never asked if I wanted to set it as default... Of course I haven't run IE8 yet either...

  25. Re:Cowards. on Konami Cuts and Runs From Iraq War Game · · Score: 1

    Games are an interactive way to tell a story. I've played horrible games because the story interested me. I play unrealistic/chaotic games to have fun.

    I am interested in this game because I want to know if it will have a real story, unlike a lot of other war games. I want to know if they can make a war game that you develop an emotional attachment to the characters. Of course, it would never be anything close to the real emotional heartache of seeing your friends die, but will the game do it any justice? That is the question.
