    Thanks for catching me there, doh.

  3. *FACE PALM* on Firefox Advances Do-Not-Track Technology · · Score: 0

    We have been through this before. You can all you want at the browser level to ask the bullies to stay away, but they will just go on ignoring that and track you anyway. BOOM, rap song. Seriously, though, this is nothing new, and no slimy advert company is going to pay attention to the browser flag. Just get a Proy/VPN/Tor Connection already. For the uninitiated, just forget it. This is why man has crated the Tor Browser https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

  4. Re:CHP should mail this clown a citation. on Google Glass Hands-On: Brimming With Potential, Dangerous While Driving · · Score: 0

    Amen to that. Anything that enters your fiend of vision is a distraction. Your eyes track objects in their spatial recognition field while driving, take your eyes off that horizon to the side, /up/down/left/right, pulls your focus away from any potential road hazzard. There once was a very nice reply on this in another story, but that's the basics of it. Even when you talk on your cell phone, which too many people do, your brain has to commit "processor" time to the phone, and that pulls away from your focus. Another reason to refrain from road head :)

    Open Street Map - good for hikers/bikers/anarchists, BAD for people who actually want to look up their address. It really is a nice "map your own" kit, but in no way shap or form beats google maps, unless you are some anti-google bloke, then that explains it all. It does not "blows away" Google Maps by any stretch. Until Open Street Maps has their own street mapping cards, satellite telemetry, Traffic information, navigation with voice/reroutting/guidence, and detailed area information, then no, it does not. I love FOSS-like projects, but come on.

  7. Re:You know... on Google Gets Consumer Service Ultimatum From German Consumer Groups · · Score: 0

    How do you explain the folks that pay for coporate Gmail services among others? Are they not customers?

  8. Re:MaximumPC and Consumer Reports on Ask Slashdot: What Magazines Do You Still Read? · · Score: 0

    Maximum PC continues to be a great magazine. I feel better picking that up in the "royal throne" room , then carting an iPad/Nexus 7/phone and putting my germs all over the screen. There is just something old fahsioned and natural about reading a mag on "the john," vs a phone/tablet. It's built into our guy code DNA. Turning that page and seeing the quality media print in front of you is more satisfying to me than swiping a screen.

  9. Genius on Botched Security Update Cripples Thousands of Computers · · Score: 0

    Antivrus, catching bad malware as well as predicting the weather.

  10. Gmail does a very decent job at this, but if I wanted to, what is a global Linux/Mac/Windows (maybe not all 3), solution. Seems this Unix fellow only has this spamd utility to run on BSD or your own mail server.

  11. Re:A smart watch? on Microsoft Working With Suppliers on Designs for Watch-Like Device · · Score: 0

    1. Strap that smartphone to your wrist, and never take it off 2. Find a smarphone that lasts for over a year on on "charge." 3. Realize checking time on a phone is an ADDED convenience, and you are a dumbass. People who like to keep tabs on time, generally have a watch. I'm guessing you work at a burger king, and are around the age of 18. Us "grown ups" keep time and the majority of folks at the major hospital I work at, wear... GASP... watches.

    I mean we all hope for this, despite the extra work: recite the I.T. Mantra "Mo Problems, Mo Money." Job security bro. Microsoft has it right. Sadly.

  14. OK... on Browser Choice May Affect Your Job Prospects · · Score: 0

    What a subjective question. These browsers have changed "skins" so many times in such great frequency now. I sure hope they change the "Correct" answer from time to time. Froma technical stance I prefer chrome, but it's recent RAM spikes are enough to make me irritated.

    The point of this article is there are too many specialists nowadays, and not enough people who actually have general medical knowledge. It's all about money....

  19. All too true on Reform the PhD System or Close It Down · · Score: 0

    I work in a hospital, and to see Doctors come and go that only specialize in one or a just a few things is maddening. Often times a problem comes their way, and they wash their hands of it because they are a "specialist." Do you think this is how doctors acted in previous generations? Gone are the days of General Practitioners and doctors who actually know their field. This is akin to someone being a mechanic and knowing only how to work on radiators, and if the crank shaft breaks, they go "not my problem".

  20. Re:Google? on Linux Patent Protection Network Lures Facebook, HP · · Score: 0

    Maybe if it WAS closed source. I am seriously sick of people confusing this. When Google RELEASES the code AND THEN doesn't allow you to modify it , or keeps all development in house, THEN its closed source. The main reason they did this , is Honeycomb 3.0 was designed for tablets, not small phones, do you want it to run like crap? Having the touch screen calibration and pixel sizing horrible? ....yep

  24. problem on Why Sony Cannot Stop PS3 Pirates · · Score: 0

    Problem is no company can condone piracy even if it helps them. I think they should just turn a blind eye and let it help them while making the occasional "hey piracy is bad mmkay?" statement but doing nothign about it. Checking out figures, most piracy helps garner attention and in turn sales that would have never occured in the first place.

  25. I don't get it on Old Facebook Apps Still Plunder Your Privacy · · Score: 0

    I use facebook to just converse with friends I used to go to school with, relatives. Do I ever feel like I'm being "data mined"? No...? I really honestly don't get this whole "omgz 10010011 you don't care about privacy, they hackorz youuu"...well um its 2010...get used to it. You can't escape this stuff, its the digital age, nothing is private nor should you expect it to. I log on to facebook, check some things out leave. I dont cringe and have a heart attack at what is on my profile, as long as you keep it clean, do I bleed out my eyes if I see an add? No. Do I add stupid apps? No. Use it for what facebook was when it first started out, to keep in touch. If you do that and stop shitting your pants over this bullshit, then you'll be just fine. Grow up paranoids.
