    Or it could be an old router someone used for a prank. You don't need an internet connection to broadcast an SSID, just power.

    Got an old wireless router? Make sure there's nothing tying it to you, set up the SSID to be something offensive. Plug into the wall somewhere public, and walk away.

    It's almost a form of taxation. Apple takes Italian fanboi moneys, then the government fines Apple.

    The real question is whether Apple comes out ahead or behind after the fine.

    Actually I believe in man-made global warming. But the evidence is there, Richard Muller is very much not a skeptic.

    Mod parent up. This guy is no skeptic. Sure, some of the money to fund the research came from Koch, and he pushed his research along the lines that skeptics use, but there's no evidence he was actually a skeptic.

  23. Re:Not surprising... on RIM PlayBook Email App Nowhere In Sight · · Score: 1

    Okay, I'm posting right here, where it could get read.

    I own a Playbook. It came with the only two apps I currently use: Word to go and Kobo Books. I look forward(very, very far forward) to the day that I can actually receive email on the damn thing. Since I have my BB fully encrypted, I have to enter the encryption password on the BB, and then the PB, in order to view email. For now, I will continue using it to read books and doc files without having to carry my netbook around an office, or deal with it's keyboard/touchpad.

    I like it's size and some of the gestures they've cooked up for it, I find it very usable. It is unfortunate that it will be doomed to nothingness. I could have been considered a BB fanboy at one point, indeed, even now I know more than anyone should about installing, migrating and maintaining BES. But I have accepted what will come, and it is unfortunate. The OS is clean and crisp, but I'm sure when it hits phone it will be disgusting, and no developers will ever approach the fractured device ecosystem that is BB.

    If you want a tablet, either get an iPad or try an Android. The PB is dead in the water, and RIM's future as well.

    This is stupid, "oncogene" is is a category of genes that have the potential to cause cancer. In effected cells, one of these genes would be mutated of heavily expressed.

    There is no "Onca gene" and the rest is just ridiculous.
