  1. How far? Not very... on How Far Will You Go For Highest Speed Internet? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Eventually it will come to me. Every couple of years I get a free upgrade as the pipe gets fatter. I can wait.

  2. Re:Are programmers really this naive? on Indie Game Jam Show Collapses Due To Interference From "Pepsi Consultant" · · Score: 1

    Madison Avenue doesn't work that way. For them, the entire program is an advertisement.

    The programmers didn't make a deal with Pepsi; Maker Studio, a subsidiary of Disney...

    Heh, same difference. The devil takes many forms...

  4. Re:FTP? on Canonical Shutting Down Ubuntu One File Services · · Score: 1

    For one, you need an FTP _server_ to exchange files (or your desktops need to be always-on, with public IP addresses).

    Who needs a desktop? Pi works for me. It comes back up after power failures and everything.

    If you choose A or B, then sure it is. Over 98% do. It couldn't be more democratic.

    ...you will wind up in the 'Oval Office.'

    Very true, but, contrary to popular opinion, it doesn't stop there. Better pack your bags for a very long world tour.

  7. Re:another great example... on How Airports Became Ground Zero In the Battle For Peer-to-Peer Car Rentals · · Score: 1

    Kind of wag the dog there. Government does grant the corporate charter, but since they share the same directors, it's the corporation writing its own charter. That's why you will never see the revocation of one, no matter how heinous the crime. You only see minor divestitures, which later re-merge, like a T-1000.

  8. Re:Sadists, enabled by our government.... on Senate Report Says CIA Misled Government About Interrogation Methods · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Pfft the committee doesn't care about the lying, that goes without mentioning. The report is just retaliation for being spied on. Tit for tat. Nothing will come of it. Yes, we are the enablers.

    Our government, enabled by the voters

    WaPo -> Bezos -> CIA

    Well, it seems you have to vote for somebody who will appoint an Attorney General who will do just that. In which case you've already solved the problem, and a few others...

    ...this is all part of the free market process.

    Exactly. People who try to separate government from it can't see this though. They see the state and the corporation as opposing forces. Nothing could be farther from the truth. All systems are "free market". Some are more open to the general public than others.

    ...the information they gather isn't private...

    Well technically, it is, but the companies that own it gave it up or sold it voluntarily.

    Another means to educate the jurors - one that does not include any references at all to either litigant's products - should be chosen.

    I think the Wright Brothers patent war with Glenn Curtis would be a good start, and then this...

  17. Re:Forbit all HFT on Adaptation From Flash Boys Offers Inside Look at High-Frequency Trading · · Score: 1

    These leeches probably made enough money to corrupt Congress for the next 100 years.

    Pretty easy to do when we give them a lifetime career in office. If your congressman sold out, you should vote him out, and not just him, but the entire political faction he represents. When you reelect them you are a major part of the problem.

  18. Cold was it? on UN Report: Climate Changes Overwhelming · · Score: 1

    Tell these guys! Highly Significant indeed

    Really all I'm saying is that none of this is stopping these guys, or even slowing them down much. It's difficult for me the say which tool is best if I can't be sure at least one of them work. Trust has been successfully destroyed.

    So yes, European tools were generally better, because they were not under such restrictions...

    Yes, they are better than the crippled exportable versions, but you still don't know if they've been compromised. You are speculating. Unless you have some kind of security clearance, you don't know as a fact if all publicly available encryption doesn't have a built in backdoor, as future documents might indicate. The tin hatters are looking a little less crazy every day as their suspicions become vindicated.

    It is a calculated risk, and maybe out of habit.

  23. Michigan on Daylight Saving Time Linked To Heart Attacks · · Score: 2

    It sits on the "trailing edge" of its time zone. The clocks are out of kilter with the sun, by almost two hours during DST. Time zone borders should be moved to the white areas between the red and green of this graphic and then kill DST. Solar noon should never happen before the clock strikes 12.

    Does a solid state drive really need a cache?

  25. Re:Incomprehensible Headline on China Prosecuted Internet Policeman In Paid Deletion Cases · · Score: 1

    There is no dichotomy between socialism and capitalism. Socialist leaders are just as capitalist as Warren Buffet and Carlos Slim. They simply take a different route to profit. All of them use the state to their advantage. They all need an army to protect their fortunes. "Communism" in China is nothing but state run capitalism. It's like watched closed circuit TV.
