    I think the Parent was referring to Xcode's ability to optimize binaries so lower clock speeds will still be able to run intensive apps (compiled by Xcode).

  6. Re:iPhone 4 on 4G vs. 3G vs. WiFi Throughput For Samsung's Epic 4G · · Score: 1

    HSUPA Is the upstream part of an HSPA radio. The iPhone wouldn't have half of an HSPA radio. I don't think it has one at all, since AT&T doesn't have HSPA as far as I know.

    UMTS isn't 4G or anywhere as fast as WiMax.

    there's no easy way to get an unlocked Android phone.

    I've never seen so many people take a comment so seriously. Lighten up people.

  14. Re:NAT on There Is No Plan B, the Ugly Transition To IPv6 · · Score: 1

    Oh, also NAT needs to keep a translation table meaning you can't establish large amounts of connections (think torrents).

    Only if your router is rubbish.

    Ban privately owned vehicles, and repossess all of them. Use the money to build up public transit.

  19. Re:Floppy drives anyone? on The Surprising Statistics Behind Flash and Apple · · Score: 1

    From what I've seen, they avoided having the right click because they wanted people to use keyboard shortcuts when possible. How many Windows users know that alt-enter brings up the properties dialog? How many Mac OS users know that command-i brings up the get info dialog? imo, the keyboard is more efficient anyways.

    I've had coverage all around Tampa bay, and on long island and in cali when I was there on business. I know their coverage isn't the greatest but it's not bad.

  21. Re:The easy way out on GE Closes Last US Light Bulb Factory · · Score: 1

    Incandescent bulbs are still being made. CFL/LED lights won't work everywhere. The bit of the page saying this is the last plant is either sensationalism or GE doesn't make many bulbs.

  22. Re:Is there anything special about RIM security? on Dubai's Police Chief Calls BlackBerry a Spy Tool · · Score: 1

    I powered up a blackberry that had been off for a few years. The clock was set to not get the current time from the network and was set to some time in 2007, making most (if not all) of the security certificates invalid. The Blackberry displayed a warning dialog for every connection till we corrected the date. So yes, BBs do warn for invalid certs.
