    Buddy, this is Slashdot; shouldn't that be "with just teh intrawebs"?

    This is Slashdot not 4chan.

    The Link is safe, but borderline. The image is just an advert for their "Sex" section.

    WARNING: Sitting on your cellular device voids all hardware warranties on it.

    You can sit on an iPhone, but it will likely break. You can sit on a Nexus One, but it will likely break.

    They stopped selling the Nexus One directly, but are still selling the ADP and ADP2.

    Of course, no other maker has announced their upgrade schedule either. YMMV.

    IIRC, Google has said June for the Nexus One

  8. Re:Unencrypted Wifi on Google's Streetview Privacy Snafu Prompts Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    The pair also claimed to have sent credit card and banking data over their networks.

    If you send your credit card info and bank info over unencrypted HTTP, you have bigger problems to worry about than Google.

    If your credit card and bank info is not being transited using SSL then you have much bigger problems.

    A MITM can be done on WiFi, but it requires arp poisoning.

  11. Re:Visual Basic? on Exam Board Deletes C and PHP From CompSci A-Levels · · Score: 1

    Thankfully, they aren't. They are accepting VB.NET, which has about as much in common with VB6 as Java has with JavaScript.

    They are accepting Visual Basic 6, the the article (and accompanying pdf) clearly states that.

  12. Visual Basic? on Exam Board Deletes C and PHP From CompSci A-Levels · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why are they accepting Visual Basic 6, but not C++, Ruby, or even LISP?

    I'd just get checks delivered to me every day for all the lawsuits from all the things people ever said about me. That's basically what Big Media wants for themselves.

    Except you would never receive the checks, the layers of lawyers would receive all the money for their pay, and you might get .01% of each check.

  15. Re:Target practice? on Geostationary GPS Satellite Galaxy 15 Out of Control · · Score: 1

    I am thinking that the X-37b with the ABL (big laser) would work wonders for just this sort of thing.

    though one would want to take really really careful aim. If you hit a large spinning mirror you could fry someone else.

    better is using the X-304 and it's big laser

    Personally I find Google Docs only marginally useful even for the simplest of tasks, it would never replace a copy of Office for me.

    Personally, I find any "office suite" useless for the simplest of tasks. Why do people think their to-do list or 1-page memo requires anything more complicated than plain text?

    Even multi-page letters and reports should be in a plain text file. All the bad formating does is make the document harder to read.

  20. Re:The State of Multicast? on When Internet Radios Get Affordable · · Score: 1

    Is multicast tied too tighly to IPv6, already obsolete, can it be jury-rigged into IPv4 by the ISP and a smart enough router? I always feel bad when listening to a niche radio station for the bandwidth cost I incurr...

    You seem like a troll (because you say IPv6 is obsolete). Multicast was designed on IPv4.
