  1. Re:At that price, it don't run Windows... on India's $35 Tablet Computer · · Score: 1

    Um, there have been Windows tablets for a very long time. I had a couple that had 486 chips in them running windows 3.1, so don't act like a good little Apple fanboy and think Apple came up with it. There have been many that were far more useful for approximately 20 years now. The problem is, no one wanted a fully functional tablet computer until Apple made a limited functionality tablet computer and made it look pretty.

  2. Re:The Great Thing About Android on 'Bloatware' Becoming a Problem On Android Phones · · Score: 1

    I was pointing out that Apple is hardly the market leader on cell phone sales. Though I failed at that as I didn't know T$ means Tiwanese money. There are many cell phone manufacturers that make much more then Apple, so they are hardly the biggest or the best, they are new to the game, and making the mistakes many of the manufacturers learned from years back.

    Apple 10 Billion in a quarter

    Try again on who is leading the market, because it sure does not appear to be Apple.

    Did you read what you were replying to? We aren't talking about fixing the issues that were used to access the system. I wrote much the same higher up. When a system is hacked, you do not ever assume it to be safe to leave up. You have to do forensics and determine if anything else was accessed, if there were any back doors left behind, and recover the systems to a working state. This costs a ton of money when you multiply it by 97 times.

  5. Re:Asperger's on Obama Won't Intervene Over British Hacker McKinnon · · Score: 1

    I would say that the damages are related to the need to look over the computers and verify that there are no backdoors left on them. It would also involve the need to trace what happened while the hacker was into the system. 97 times this operation quickly gets very expensive. Are you telling me that when someone breaks into your home network and starts accessing your tac information that you wouldn't check into what they had access to? I know I would want to know if I need to reopen my bank account and get all my credit cards reissued. This is much the same thing, they had to determine what information he accessed, and return the systems to a known good state before they can be sure that he didn't leave anything behind.

    It is not illegal in the UK to hack into secure government computers? So if I break into Mi6 servers, I wouldn't face the same uproar?

    I have no idea where that "Haliburten" came from, that was blow out preventer in what I typed...

  8. Re:Who cares (You Should) on BP Caught Photoshopping Disaster Response Photos · · Score: 1

    Or for that matter Haliburton who performed the well cementing operation, or the blow-out preventer building company who sold a faulty blow-out Haliburten preventer. Or frankly, has anyone been talking about the fact that the people on the rig were attempting to shut down the well when it blew out? Seems that that is what they should have been doing and were attempting to do when a catastrophe hit, but no, all you hear about is that BP are the worst people on earth. At least when the Valdez wrecked, Exxon was the correct company to complain at, in this case, the blame is all over the place, but it is BP paying for and doing everything they can to stop the leak, not any of the other companies involved.

    How do you mean the PDF doesn't work well with Nook? I have no problem with it on mine. It even works faster then a desktop computer running Adobe.

  11. Re:Traditionalists shouldn't panic anyways on eBook Sales Outpace Hardbacks · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should read up on this a bit more. Kindle and Nook keep records of what you have bought and allow you to reload the books onto a new unit.

  12. Re:Traditionalists shouldn't panic anyways on eBook Sales Outpace Hardbacks · · Score: 1

    With both Nook and Kindle, the books are stored online (they keep track of what books you "own"). When replacing the reader, you register it with the same account, all books load automagically. Supposably, you can even remove a book from the device, and it will stay on the account, though I have not figured out how to do this yet with my Nook.

    Ignoring the incorrect AC. Yes, the taxes are most of the cost of gas in the US and UK at least. I always questioned it when the gas prices skyrocketed why congress/state govs didn't suggest reducing the taxes instead of blaming the corps, but of course, lowering taxes never happens.

    I was on the fence between the X and Incredible. They both have pretty much the same specs, the X comes with a memory card whereas the Incredible does not, so I was thinking of buying the X, now I have no interest in it. I hope Moto backs off on this and disables it.
