  1. Re:I'm in trouble on Will 2011 Be the Year of Mobile Malware? · · Score: 0

    I regret the install and uninstalled the app, but I'm sure they mined for data I gave up.

  2. I'm in trouble on Will 2011 Be the Year of Mobile Malware? · · Score: -1

    I just installed Hero of Sparta, non-market place game for free. I swear, that's the last non-market place app I'll install on my phone. For those that are interested, url = http://www.gameloft.com/android-hd-games/?adid=147865

  3. Wondering if jury rigging... on AMD's New Flagship HD 6970 Tested · · Score: 0

    is a possibility on my laptop. I know it would void my warranty with HP. I have a Pavilion DV6 with a discrete AMD Mobility 5650 1GB in my laptop. If I put in a more powerful mobility card or jury rig a desktop card, would I be at risk of cooking components?

  4. I wish... on Internet Explorer 9 Caught Cheating In SunSpider · · Score: 0

    I could still use Internet Explorer 8. I have 9 right now, but certain websites that my job requires me to go to locks me out of some content. Autotask.net and some other sites that my school has access to is nonfunctional. I know most pages comply, but the few that don't - why are we forced to use Microsoft software?

  5. USB Tethering - safe? on How To Protect Against Firesheep Attacks · · Score: 0

    I have a lot of anxiety using free hot spots in stores and coffee shops. I got a Driod X recently and I am tethering from it via USB rather than the wireless mode. I feel a lot safer, but - is the cellular traffic from the phone to a cell tower relatively secure?

  6. On my way to graduation on IT Security Salaries Expected To Rise In 2011 · · Score: 0

    Wow, I'm glad I am in the right field of study. This makes me happy... I will be able to pay back student loans...

  7. Re:General purpose computing engine? on It's Time To Build the Analytical Engine · · Score: 1

    What sort of framerate can it run Crysis at?

    0 FPS, only because it would be annoyed at how unoptimized the code is. It would be so annoyed that it would rewrite the source into a preferred code, maybe CryEngine 4 and bypassing the new Crysis coming out

  8. Re:Question: If we had such a computer, or artific on It's Time To Build the Analytical Engine · · Score: 1

    Excuse me, I was thinking in relation sense, if we had a sudden leap in computer technology. I can't edit my previous comment :(

  9. Question: If we had such a computer, or artificial on It's Time To Build the Analytical Engine · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Question: If we had such a computer, or artificial intelligence. Would we be aware of it’s existence? I am leading to the idea that our military intelligence would likely have AI and suppress any knowledge of it until it is leaked or we are ready. I like to think that we have the tech now for cars to drive themselves but our society isn’t ready for a leap, so we are getting slow introductions to it – i.e. Microsoft Sync that is only available to those who want to buy a new Ford

  10. Saving up for a trip into orbit.... on Russian Firm Plans Commercial Space Station · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm saving up money for a trip into orbit. It would be feasible for me to spend $10,000 to $20,000 dollars for space flight. I figure this will be a possibility for me in 20 years when it drops to that price, maybe sooner when we have space elevators.

  11. Questions - Verizon's Droid X on HTC Launches HD Phones and Updated Sense UI · · Score: 1

    I ordered Verizon's Droid X a few weeks ago, it should arrive next week. But I heard that Droid 2 has a discreet graphics component whereas the Droid X doesn't. Is this true? People who have the Droid X, are you happy with the phone?

  12. Re:tactical nuke on BP's Gulf Spill Report Shows String of Failures · · Score: 1

    I only asked a question, I didn't state that I think a tactical nuke would be the way to go. My question was just a simple thought experiment.

  13. tactical nuke on BP's Gulf Spill Report Shows String of Failures · · Score: 1

    My comment is hindsight, but does anyone think the damage done would have been less if we utilized a tactical nuke at the site of the spill?

  14. Bruce Willis on Asteroids Flyby — 2010 RF12 & 2010 RX30 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I never saw Armageddon when it came out and never bothered to rent it since. I heard so many bad things about that movie.
