  1. Re:Remember to check on World's Oldest Running Car Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    At 37 MPH is it even possible to get a speeding ticket? The lowest speed limit I have seen in the US at least was 30 MPH (on public roads at least...) and a cop surely won't pull you over for 7 mph over, it isn't worth it.

    It also still hasn't needed a reboot.

    If only someone had this thing called SLC instead of MLC...

    I have a three year old x-25 Intel, it is still going strong. So, um, when you say Intel, was it a SLC, because expecting a MLC to last any length of time isn't exactly smart.

    OSX - so what? What does this have to do with mobile? Do they share it or even license it?
    Thunderbolt - Intel invented it, but also has nothing to do with mobile.
    IOS - They don't share and actively prevent from running on anything else.

    The whole thing of Gattaca was to prevent the guy from doing what he isn't capable of. The end was a little vague, but I think he actually died during launch, proving them right.

    US to Australia would be 12800 km according to what you just said. But the rest holds up.

    I miss CompUSA, they had some great self branded hardware.

    If there is such a great demand, the subsidies wouldn't be needed. There must not be this extraordinary demand if the business needs the subsidy to run.

    Walmart is buying US panels anyways, so the statement was inaccurate from the start.

  10. Re:Lowell should read the news more often on Verizon Chief Defends AT&T-T-Mobile Merger · · Score: 1

    . I know I've curtailed my data usage heavily since Verizon instituted the 2GB cap.

    You moved to Verizon after they removed the unlimited plan? Also, you haven't realizes that there is a 5GB cap on VZ, not 2GB?

    VZ hasn't forced anyone but new customers onto the cap, I still have unlimited.

    Because there have been more recent antitrust lawsuits by the DOJ as they have actual balls. Such as the AT&T lawsuit currently ongoing.

    I haven't seen the GOP forcing anyone out of business. Now, subsidizing and industry when the entire world is clamoring for it? Why bother, let them fund it themselves if it is so important for the world.

    So I should float on my back downriver, and walk upriver?

    Generally when people move on rivers, it is in a boat, in which case, you don't just leave your boat behind.

    Can we rename this troll to "Land nutter"? What you call space nuttery is in fact science based fact. Get over yourself, not everyone thinks like you and is shortsighted like you.

    8P8C modular plugs and jacks look very similar to the plugs and jacks used for FCC's registered jack RJ45 variants,

    No, no it isn't. RJ45 is a standard for network plugs and jacks, 8p8c is a generic term for different tips that have the same layout, including plugs that have a different key structure than RJ45. Read the 3rd paragraph and it explains this.
