  1. Re:just a toy on Corporate IT Hanging Up on Apple's iPhone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The same was said about the Mac GUI, the Mac 3D accelerated interface and the iPod.

    apple's going the right way about this. It's a clear, color screen that has an easy to use interface and can be used with a single hand.

    The revolutionary part is that it's easy.

  2. Re:And so they shouldnt... on Corporate IT Hanging Up on Apple's iPhone · · Score: 1

    IT departments should support technology, not software.

    If a device supports IMAP/POP and SMTP for email, it should atleast be given *limited* "Here's the incoming/outgoing servers. Good luck" level of support. At this point, POP/IMAP/SMTP are so standard that there should be no excuse for having POP/IMAP support for mail messages during setup of Exchange.

    except one.

    The beauty of the iPhone is it's ease of use.

    Even with greasy fingers, the fact that you can use it with out a stylus is tops in my book. It's what every other "Smart" phone is dumb on.

    I don't like stumbling around for a stylus. I just want to make a goddamn call.

    What's so "nonstandard" about that?!

    Yet we pay taxes on public education, protection in the form of military, police and fire, roads, and other things we take for granted everyday... Why not health care? Imagine if we had a military or police force who's entire goal was to do nothing more than make money rather than catch criminals or engage our foreign policy abroad? Imagine being told by a constitutionally mandated lawyer that he won't help defend you in court because it would be too costly for him?

    I can't imagine when AAR or Al took on Nader. I know Randi Rhodes yelled at Nader(and did a damn good job of it by asking simple questions like, "Who woudl you caucus with?").

    Because like Al Franken, I know the comedic value of a funny name like Norm Ornstein.

    But I was still serious. I mean, sure, Al was on radio station that was financially fucked since day 1, but let's face it, he's leaving to PARTICIPATE in the process, not just kibitz and abuse drugs. Those were his SNL days.

    (Well, actually, most SNL insiders pegged Al as being one of the 3 guys on the set in the 70's who didn't abuse drugs. So there goes the fuckin' Rush/Drughead/useless pile of shit gag.)

    Moore is not to blame for the small less than a percent loss that cost Kerry the election. For such a small margin, there were more nuanced reasons for that loss.

    compare the price of travel vs the price of the procedure you need(that you'd be charged in America, atleast).

    Except Al Franken actually tried to change things. Instead of ranting like an idiot, he sat around for 3 hours and talked to experts, pundits, wonks and Norm Ornstein. It's one thing to say your opposition is wrong, it's another to spend a few hours and go indepth and discuss actually *why* they're wrong using things like truth(which has a liberal bias, wierdly enough).

    You don't need brainscanners and the latest and greatest tech to get treatment for common ailments.

    In America, you do need a few thousand dollars though.

  19. Re:About that Cuban healthcare... on Michael Moore's New Film Leaked To BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    The thing about Cuban healthcare is that despite being crappy, it's free/cheap.

    The point of going to cuba was to go to the US base in Guantanamo Bay, where hundreds of inmates who were wrongly captured recieve better healthcare than the 9/11 first responders and workers who worked at Ground Zero, not to highlight how good Cuban health care was.

    I know for many common illnesses, even if we don't know the cause, we do know that if you just sit on your ass for a few days and take care of yourself, you're going to get better.

    I don't expect my doctor to actually *do* anything curatively speaking, i just expect him to be on my side when I have to tell my job I'm out for a few days getting over a cold.

    I don't mind double, triple or quadruple taxation. It's when you're taxing an individual like you would a company... it's not like he was making money off of it.

    Normally, I'm against libertarian notions like this, but this is the danger of governments. I mean, the concept is square and solid for businesses dealing in fuels, but what about average joes trying to get by with biodiesel or other forms of power?

    Somebody's watching. Unlike MLB, I guess they're getting used to new shifts in tech.

    Plus, given the strike, and the fact that NHL hasn't enjoyed the same American fan-backing other sports have, I'm pretty sure they're just happy someone's watching.
