    zipperhead is a racial term for some kind of Asian. Are you sure that's the term you ment to use?

  4. Re:iPhone Tethering on Tethering Is Exhilarating (With the Nexus One) · · Score: 1

    89 CAD is ~86 USD. I pay 140 USD per month for two lines with: Unlimited voice, data, SMS. (Real unlimited data, not "unlimited till you use 5GB") If I was the only one on my line I could get the same thing for 59$. There are companies in the US that do unlimited everything for less. The US government may be fucked up, but I am glad I don't pay what I'd pay in europe or canada for mobile service or home internet.

  5. Re:HA! on Calendar Bug Disables Older PlayStation 3 Models · · Score: 1

    For fucks sake people. Lets keep making assumptions and then stating them as fact by the end of our posts. The console is unable to validate the achievement data as not bullshit, and instead of the console saying "lol that's weird" and moving on, it flips out and prevents the game from starting, possibly because it recognizes the "current" date as being "impossible" according to its bugged programming.
    No secret evil motives here, just a design flaw. Hopefully one that can be patched without the console date being valid.
    And I don't even like sony...

    This is not DRM. I understand this is sony and anything that odd gets blamed on them being evil!!!!!!!!111 but that isn't what happened here.

    It's not software as a service, and if you want an SLA don't expect it to cost anything close to what the playstation network cost now.

  8. Re:Wait a minute on Apple Enforces "Supplier Code of Conduct" After Child Labor Discovery · · Score: 1

    When I was 15 I wished I had a job. Can you imagine all the Yu-Gi-Oh! cards I could have bought? Maybe I wouldn't have had to share a dialup account with my friend from school.
    I also think if I had started doing grunt computer work at a younger age I'd be more established in the field now, and not be worried about finding a job. :(

    Did you read anything past that to the fact where the "child" probably has a child of his own and needs the job to support them?

    Good job bro. I have never seen more people take a troll post seriously. A+ would lol again.

    It's a bit unfair to say that -all- Chinese manufacturers are like that.

  22. Re:Just like desktop linux. on Google Android — a Universe of Incompatible Devices · · Score: 1

    Windows Mobile has been very easy to find applications for, and develop for, for as long as I can remember. You're not even restricted to a "marketplace". You can upload your binaries anywhere and as long as your (potential) users are smart enough to download a file and copy it to the phone it will install. Now the OS is a bit sluggish but that's another issue all together. And I hear the current version is a lot better...

    That's supposed to be funny right? You say something is easy then give a few examples of how the normal joe user would get totally lost. You're being sarcastic. Right?
