    Nitpicker. Yes, I find myself using terminology interchangeably incorrectly occasionally.

    Granted I've never had to deal hands-on with coaxial data networks, yay. I'm quite happy enough being too young for all that.

    Ugh. Mayo Clinic still has some, at least it's ethernet and not BNC.

    Surely the intended humor didn't escape you. =)

    Why so serious?

  7. Sad. on Girl Seeks Help On Facebook During Assault · · Score: 1

    Yes, this isn't a Slashdot story, and no, this had nothing to do with Facebook as it could've been a text message instead for all it was.

    But a kid was raped, and that's not so awesome that everyone should be hopping on the "lol rape jokes" bandwagon.

    Let's just chalk this up to bad story moderation per editor, do our internal-pity-thing for the girl for a sec, and move on.

    I'm kinda seconding the general thought everyone else is voicing. Disappointment over the lack of improvement. But I think with some more work, it could be made to do better.

    Let's face the facts though - it's taped onto the phone.

  12. Last verse, same as the first... on Apple To Hold iPhone 4 Press Conference · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If Apple were the kind of company to admit mistakes and fix problems, we'd have some word on resolving the iPhone 4 issues already. Instead, 'holding it wrong' and bumpers for everyone.

    This has, at best chance, to be a press conference releasing the white iPhone 4.

    And if I'm wrong, I'll gladly accept some egg on my face, and those in disagreement all get to say "I told you so."

    Actually, you'll need the Order Number itself to look it up, here you go:

    Head over to Apple.com/OrderStatus and look it up by Order number and zip code, W261040937 and 55901. Yup, I live in Rochester, MN.

    What now, doubting Thomas?

    Hey, if you don't believe me, you're welcome to call and ask Apple about RMA # 7423106800, I've already been refunded even. I guarantee you that I had it, and it went back.

    As I mentioned above, I love making informed decisions, so if you've got something bad on the low-down about the Droid X, please, inform me! An article citation covering the issues would be nice.

    I view my cellphone as more of an appliance, than a system.

    Appliances do well at the handful of tasks they're designed for. I don't browbeat Maytag because I can't plug in a higher-class engine by Whirlpool into their washing machines. I've been happy with my 3G, and at the time of the 3G release, it was the king of smartphones anyways. But that's not true anymore.

    I like that my Droid X will be more open and customizable, not to mention the lack of draconian app store approvals, but it's not a dealkiller if it's not as open to tinkering as, say, the Nexus One. My phone's an appliance, I have PCs for tinkering. Some stuff, you just want to work, and keep working, without a lot of tech support. ;)

    How you like them Apples?

    I already returned my iPhone 4, barely got it out of the box before return shipping. Droid X looks like it'll be replacing my half-functional iPhone 3G tomorrow.
