  2. Re:Sounds like... on Apple Moves To Stop Kids Racking Up iTunes Bills · · Score: 1

    Exactly. If you set up an iTunes account with a credit card and link it with an iDevice and give it to your kid to do what they want with it then it's your own stupid fault.

    Yes for Visual Studio Express you pay nothing. For the complete package you pay a lot. Apple is providing their entire set of developer tools for $6 on the app store. Woopee I'm sure a lot of people will go broke paying for that.

    Oh ok. thanks for clearing that up. I wish I had some mod points left...

    I had it wrong anyway, I just looked it up. They did use liquid nitrogen at Chernobyl but they used it to try and freeze the earth below it so that it couldn't reach the water table and cause a steam explosion, but they gave up on that and filled the basement with concrete instead. Well, that's my limited understanding of it anyway...

    The technical problems and finding a source of such a large amount are fair enough. I never considered that. Though I don't think it's fair to be concerned about the expense in a situation like this where the health and lives of thousands and long lasting damage to the environment are more important...

    I'm wondering why they can't pump liquid nitrogen in there to cool it down. Didn't they do that at Chernobyl?

    Wow, yeah how rotten of them to charge $5 for a full developers suite. Simply disgraceful.

    How much does Visual Studio cost?

    Funny; I've had the opposite experience - several Hitachi drives have died on me... I buy WD drives now and they've been fantastic. Although I think I may switch to Seagate if WD does buy Hitachi...

    This is how my school was. All mobile phones were banned. Didn't stop people sneaking them in though and texting each other when the teacher's back was turned.

    Maybe. But if he were doing the same on real hardware with Windows he would still have to go through several hardware upgrades...

    I agree that it is pretty cool that the executables from Windows 2 will still run on Windows 7. I am pretty sure that the ones he were running were from windows 2 because Windows 1 apps won't run without modifying the header, but they still can run (see: http://toastytech.com/guis/misc.html)

    Every survey site I've ever been a member of claims to provide their client that they are doing the research for with anonymous data only. It's nothing new at all.

  22. Re:Google results still much more accurate on Google Would Beat Bing At Jeopardy, Says Wolfram · · Score: 1

    I really don't see the big deal; you only have to click the link once and it remembers your preference. They're not the only site in the world that try to redirect you to your own country's site. If they didn't do it we'd have a bunch of people complaining that they can't have localised search results because they are searching the wrong google site. I suppose they could always to what ebay does though, I've noticed before when I go to ebay.com it shows a small popup inside of the page asking if I want to go to ebay.com.au. But I think if google did that they'd get too many complaints.

    If you click on the link at the bottom of the google page instead of typing google.com into the address bad it doesn't redirect you. I know on google.com.au there is a link at the bottom that when you click it takes you to google.com and doesn't redirect...
