  1. Re:Impossible. Her net worth is 45M. on Singer Reportedly Outbids NASA for Space Tourist's Seat · · Score: 1

    If I had enough money not to miss 51M I may consider it, but I wouldn't spend ALL my millions it, let alone a portion have any magnitude. Even if they were willing to spend 50% of their fortune on it, this still seems incredibly unlikely in this instance unless she is actually Bill Gates hidden Goddaughter.

    Source - http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/singers/sarah-brightman-net-worth/ Even with help I find this unbelievable, at least with that figure.

  3. That's because they are. on NSA Considers Its Networks Compromised · · Score: 1

    Any time you have users, you are going to eventually get infected, I'm sure they have been and will be again, but it is the separation between valuable data and the users infected computers that they need to keep a handle on.

  4. YES on Duke Nukem Forever Back In Development · · Score: 1

    So it'll be cancelled again after they have time to think about it at their Labor day BBQ?

    Thank you for inserting logic. I used to work for NG, and I am certainly not defending them, but lets not just brand them as bad because of the size of their.. contract. We all know morons who work for every company..

    Soo to make them happy we must have Americans vs Americans? This sounds so one sided..

  7. I heart Ubuntu on Windows vs. Ubuntu — Dell's Verdict · · Score: 1

    I heart Ubuntu, but I wouldn't have my parents use it.

    Ubuntu can be a challenge at times, there are pros and cons to everything, I'm glad they are at least partially bringing it to light.

  8. Re:Note: It was a US Software Company suing for 2. on China's 'Green Dam' Software Program Near Collapse · · Score: 1

    To the best of my knowledge. these lawsuits have to be run through the World Trade Organization.

    This is also where ie. someone like Google would sue over those intrusion attacks made by China a few months back.

    Not only was it a 2.2b lawsuit, but it was brought on by US Software Firms.

    Normally that'd be true, but Rangers are a little different, for the most part. A lot of the time, they are in the shit.

    That said, having time / connectivity to upload pics to FB or Twitter... you're prolly 15,000% right. This sounds like someone who wants a gold star.

    If you take it and pass, you are telling the truth, if you take it and fail, why would you take it if you were gonna fail, clearly you are in the 10% of bad results. Win-Win.

  17. Because they are unreliable. on Brain-Scan Lie Detection Rejected By Brooklyn Court · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They don't tell you shit, I've taken a couple of them for government work and it depends on the person, and their ability to concentrate. You can easily get false positives and easily beat it if you have the right mindset.

  20. Quote. on Security Firm Reveals Microsoft's "Silent" Patches · · Score: 1

    "Secret patches are neither new or rare. "This has been going on for many years and the action in and of itself is not a huge conspiracy," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle Security."

    What is unusual is that Core took Microsoft's silent updates public.

    Not that this should go on anyway, but don't go thinking this is a rare instance and they are stealing your milk money, it happens enough to be of some sort a standard business practice.

    Now I might be missing something, but what did they gain through this acquisition? Why buy a one of the many competitors.. I mean yes it was a great service but there are others out there as well... I just don't get Apples gain from this purchase in the first place... Having two services is pointless one had to go and I have a feeling iTunes is kinda bigger..

    Oh and, "Damn the man, save the empire"

  23. Re:Actually, you're the dick. on Steve Jobs Publishes Some "Thoughts On Flash" · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the history lesson Batman. But I'm fairly certain us terrible, blasphemous US-based customers would have answered any polling questions that the MMS is essential in any smart phone, or frankly almost every regular cell phone. It also has a lot to do with our archaic cell phone network, but I won’t get into that. I don't ask someone for their phone number, their e-mail, their home address and their SSN every time I met a new person unless I were to get a business card or something of the sort.

    Sending pictures to a phone number is a key service, now if you want to make a phone number to e-mail database and set it up running the net and 3G appropriately I'm all for it. BUT, not everyone has constant internet access. SO removing a key feature makes YOU the dick.

    Trying to change a standard to something better is one thing, but eliminating a service because you believe your idea is better, is a DICK move because -you- think you are smarter than the world. Gotta use the technology available son.

    Otherwise, love the phone.
