  1. Re:Old Saying. on The Students Who Feel They Have the Right To Cheat · · Score: 1

    Two wrongs don't make a right.

    But three lefts do make a right!

  2. Re:Aggression in practice, right? on US Strikes ISIL Targets In Syria · · Score: 1

    Can someone convince me that in the absence of a specific invitation by the legitimate Syrian government, which is the case this time, this [US] action cannot be defined as aggression?

    Simple. There isn't a legitimate Syrian government currently.

  3. If Steve Jobs were alive he would have said on Apple Edits iPhone 6's Protruding Camera Out of Official Photos · · Score: 3, Funny

    You're looking at it wrong!

  4. Re:Everything old is new again on To Really Cut Emissions, We Need Electric Buses, Not Just Electric Cars · · Score: 1

    Battery technology is far from being advanced enough to make trolleybuses obsolete. 30 miles may be enough to most commuter, but not for buses which should be running non-stop during peak hours. New trolleybuses route have been created, for example the Silver Line in Boston. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...

    wtf is the point?

    Improved security?

  6. That's not really prediction on Algorithm Predicts US Supreme Court Decisions 70% of Time · · Score: 1

    You can only predict things that have not yet happened. I'll be much more impressed If they publish their predictions to future decisions and these turn out to be 70% correct.

  7. Even MS Offic isn't 100% compatible with itself on LibreOffice 4.2 Busts Out GPU Mantle Support and Corporate IT Integration · · Score: 3, Informative

    Anyone who tried to move files between different versions, system with different system languages or, if you are really daring, different platforms knows this.

  8. Re:Bullsh*t on Apple, Amazon, Microsoft & More Settle Lawsuits With Boston University · · Score: 1

    Fighting a patent troll in court is much like standing up to a bully. It might hurt you in the short term, but in the long term others will leave you alone because they know you will stand your ground.

  9. Re:9.1 on Windows 9 Already? Apparently, Yes. · · Score: 1

    Windows 2003/2008/2012 are basically the server versions of Windows XP/Vista/7.

  10. Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi on Senior Managers Are the Worst Information Security Offenders · · Score: 1

    How is that news? This is known for thousands of years.

  11. Re:Illegal behavior on How One Man Fought His ISP's Bad Behavior and Won · · Score: 3, Informative

    It would have been better to contact FBI and report this fraud. Whoever the hell runs fwdsnp.com needs to spend some time in jail.

    This isn't just plain fraud, it's wire fraud. The penalty for it is up to 20 years in prison.

  12. Re:Whatever happened to on Linux RNG May Be Insecure After All · · Score: 1

    The laws of physics, namely quantum mechanics, do include randomness in them. Everything is probabilistic in principle. Usually, this randomness isn't manifested at large scales, but under certain circumstances it can be. That's how you build a hardware RNG. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number_generator

    is no match for natural stupidity.

  14. Re:Google has an API to their data on OpenWLANMap: Free WLAN-Based GPS Replacement · · Score: 1

    The problem is that without (b), there is no way to maintain a comprehensive and up to date database.

    Everything was better in the past, especially the nostalgia.

  17. Re:wireless carriers on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Review · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Did you buy your car at a gas station? Then why buy your phone from a wireless carrier? You will get updates late, if at all. Tethering will be restricted. The phone will come loaded with crapware. Why bother?

  18. ISPs are already giving routable subnets on World IPv6 Launch Day Underway · · Score: 1

    to their customers, for example Comcast is already doing that. Otherwise, there is not much point in IPv6.

  19. Re:OT: What's with all the hyperbol summaries late on Secret UK Network Hunts GPS Jammers · · Score: 1

    While jamming GPS does net cause directly to loss of life or property damage, it might do so indirectly by disrupting systems relying on GPS.

  20. Re:Finally, an end to Google's daft IPv6 policy on June 6 Is World IPv6 Day 2012: This Time For Keeps · · Score: 1

    All web browsers and most other Internet apps these days will try IPv6 first if DNS reports an AAAA name. That's not true. It used to be like that several years ago, but most modern OS will prefer IPv6 for DNS lookups if and only if the computer has native (that is no 6to4 or teredo) address. Otherwise IPv4 is preferred.

  21. Re:Awesome on Comcast Begins Native IPv6 Deployment To End Users · · Score: 2

    Droids and iDevices do support IPv6, at least over Wi-Fi. T-Mobile has an experimental IPv6 only APN: https://sites.google.com/site/tmoipv6/lg-mytouch

  22. Re:"Engaging"? on Australian Telco Telstra Complies With GPL · · Score: 1

    Your theory completely ignores the First Sale Doctrine. You do not need a license from Microsoft to sell a Windows CD, as you are not making a new copy. You do not need permission from Microsoft to sell your Windows PC. The same applies to GPL software and hardware with embedded GPL software.

  23. Already done in Israel by Bezeq International on UK ISP To Prioritize Gaming Traffic · · Score: 1

    This is already done in Israel by Bezeq International, the largest ISP in Israel which is owned by the national phone company. It works exactly like people expected here... You pay more, the use KY so it hurts less.

  24. Re:ATT sucks on Six Major 3G and 4G Networks Tested Nationwide · · Score: 1

    Almost all Nokia and Sony-Ericsson phones, even dumphones, can tether via USB or Bluetooth out of the box, there is no need for an app for that. Actually, you can get Nokia 5310 from T-Mobile, get the $10 dumphone unlimited web and tether with that.

    T-Mobile USA uses 25.0.0.0/8 for their NAT endpoint addresses. This is not some IT department in a bank, this is a telecommunication company. They should know better.
