  1. Re:Beyond Facebook? on What Happened To Diaspora, the Facebook Killer? It's Complicated · · Score: 1

    Google+ really should have been kept in the wings, tested and waiting for Facebook to just completely screw the pooch

    Some people might consider forcing Timeline upon people to be that pooch screwing moment. If that's the case, then Google+ is aptly timed.

  2. Re:Better learn to dress well because..... on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Professional Geek Dress Code? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Otherwise dress at least one step up from those you supervise, or better yet at an equivalent step to what your new supervisors are wearing

    What if his new subordinates take that advice too? Then they're trying to dress equivalent to him, while he's trying to dress one step up from them.

    It's a vicious cycle that'll see them all wearing Gucci tuxedos (or whatever is the highest in style).

  3. Re:open vs closed on Woz Says Android Will Dominate · · Score: 1

    In 2000, both major x86 chip vendors broke the 1 GHz barrier.
    All gaming console chips have been quite a lower clock speed than what's available for desktop PCs at the time they've been released.

  5. Re:WTF? on Microsoft Talks Back To Google's Security Claims · · Score: 1

    Hackers said that Microsoft is better at making their products more secure than anybody else? What about Charlie Miller the Pwn2Own winner who said pretty much the exact opposite? I guess he doesn't count.

    Are you stupid or just intentionally trying to mislead people?

    If you actually read the interview that you linked to, you'd know he basically said that Microsoft has put the most effort into securing their systems. Admittedly, they had the most to work on, but that still doesn't make your statement true.

    How about this quote from the interview?
    "Between Mac and PC, I'd say that Macs are less secure for the reasons we've discussed here (lack of anti-exploitation technologies)"

  6. Re:I don't get all the iPad hate. on The Apple Two · · Score: 1

    Getting a fully-functioning IDE with the OS is really nice. [...]
    Who else does that?

    Microsoft. Sure, it doesn't come installed with the OS (monopoly issues), but you can download it for free for Windows.

  7. Re:Jailbreaking fixes many of the iPhone's limitat on Microsoft Employees Love Their iPhones · · Score: 1

    Please note that ActiveSync hasn't had to work like this for about 5 years (since Windows Mobile 6). No new phone that uses ActiveSync will use the AUTD method (the SMS method you're talking about).

    Now, there is a "constant" data connection between the device and the server. It's very low usage though - just enough to let the server know the device is still alive. Exchange will push the messages to the device as long as it has had a ping from the device within the alloted time frame (an always updating, adjustable time frame that works similar in theory to TCP flow control).

  8. Re:Where's my Ubuntu pad? on iPad Is a "Huge Step Backward" · · Score: 1

    Here you go: HP Slate
    I'm sure you'll be able to install Ubuntu on it.

    If this thing comes in at below $600 like MS says it will, it should blow the iPad out of the water. It won't (due to unrational people), but it should.

  9. Re:Floating Mountains on Avatar Soars Into $1-Billion Territory · · Score: 1

    The chunk that Parker had was only floating when put in the mysterious blue light thingy on his desk. When he was holding it in his hand and tossing it up and down, it did not float.
    So, all the floating mountains have mysterious blue light thingies under them?

  10. Mod Down - Re:Well in Canada... on Why the Google Android Phone Isn't Taking Off · · Score: 1

    Informative? You obviously haven't looked if you haven't seen one.
    As many others have said, Rogers not only sells them for a lot less than an iPhone (on term contracts), they don't tie you to specific plans like they do iPhone. They have been marketing the Android phones a lot.

  11. Re:Touch is only part of it on Windows 7 Igniting Touchscreen PC Market · · Score: 1

    not solely buried in some control panel somewhere, which is the reason Windows notebooks have those switches in the first place

    Spoken like someone who has never used Windows.
    Windows puts a little icon in the system tray (which is viewable all the time) for the wireless connection. It looks like a little computer with radio waves coming out of it. Right-click it, choose Disconnect or Disable. Just because some (not all) hardware vendors choose to put a switch on the chassis to give the user a choice, doesn't mean Windows has bad design.
    The fact that Mac computers don't have a physical switch certainly doesn't make their design better.

  12. Re:Possible solution on Will Your Credit Report Disqualify You For a Job? · · Score: 1

    You forgot some: Rent your living space most of your life because you will not be able to buy a decent home on 40% of your salary set aside minus all the money in rent you've been paying so far until you are retired (and then would have no money to live on), and you cannot get a mortgate (no credit). Do not have a family. Sounds grand.
