  1. Re:People have to be careful on Can Cuba Skip Cell Phone Connectivity? · · Score: 1

    This is true. Through price supports (there goes cheap) and heavy regulation (so much for easy) some people will make a tidy sum. Indeed abundant opportunities await.

    You make communications too cheap and easy, and there won't be any profit in it...

    they could have at least come up with a better argument.

    Shit! I don't understand what they're are worried about. The weather will keep me off my bike for sure! What the UK needs is better bus/train service.

    Didn't they switch over to Yahoo as their new default search engine for, what, a gazillion dollars? Jus' sayin'... this crap could be in the contract... I hope it isn't spreading into Seamonkey. I mean, otherwise I'll have to revert back to Internet Explorer to protect my privacy!

    It doesn't send anything besides the basic TCP headers.

    Do anybody here understand the implications of *simply making the connection*? What the hell is the matter with you? Unless I click, I don't want to send anything at all. Is there something here that is difficult to comprehend about this?

  8. Mein Gott! How is this possible? on How to Quash Firefox's Silent Requests · · Score: 1

    I consider this to be rather extreme, and people are putting up with this? I certainly hope not! If computer science is to become a part of primary education, network sniffing better be the first and most important thing to burn into the kid's mushy brain.

    You say all those nasty things about people, and then you turn around and vote them into high office and buy their products... How does that work? It certainly appears you are the one bending over and projecting that onto everyone else. In fact, that is exactly what is happening.

    And my dear! What is up with all that swearing and talking down to everybody? Are you really such a superior being? Believe me, you're no Don Rickles! Not even close!

    It precludes him from lecturing us about the need to make sacrifices, eat bugs while he eats steak, etc, etc. He can suffer through regular commercial flights with all the TSA goodies, wait for his damn bags, and take a cab like the rest of us. He trivializes and actually discredits the issue with his private jet and limos, merely symbolic as it is to you. Damn right he can walk!

    A portable device that runs on a battery should have the battery itself user-serviceable, period. Anything else is defective by design.

    Put simply, non-removable batteries are a safety hazard. They should not be allowed on the market. We should be able to eject them like an antimatter core.

    I have never understood the blatant lies coming out of the Russian military or their proxies when they claim it was Ukrainian forces who shot down the airliner. I can only presume they believe people around the world are as gullible as the average Russian...

    Nah, that's not necessary. Just don't vote for her. And then, use that civil asset forfeiture stuff on her and take everything... except Bill, she can keep him.

    Seriously, if we just stop voting for/reelecting crooks, the problem goes away the following January. Since Hillary won't get my vote, I don't care what she does, or where she stuffs her emails. We can all just put her out of our minds and nominate somebody else. What is the problem? Don't we have that choice?
