    A shipment of iPads didn't tip over and destroy an entire ecosystem.

    That's why.

    Well, not just that, but, past entries have done what, written a file to disk and executed something like the calculator?

    Big hairy deal. I'm not concerned until we see a mac drive by that also escalates to root.

    Apparently I've been wrong since 2003. Kenny vs Spenny is somehow "culture."

    The problem was that Nokia's lunch was being eaten by both Apple and Google on all fronts.

    They couldn't hold in. With Windows Phone 7 they're risking irrelevancy. With Symbian/MeeGo/Qt, they ARE irrelevant.

    Well, try being an educator in a public school with out the proper certifications.

    The pedophilia rip was just a cheap blow.

    my point stands though. If you want to work in certain fields, you have to have the sheepskin. I wouldn't trust a guy who took up aviation as a hobby to fly a 747.

    That being said, a degree isn't absolutely required to live comfortably. A lot of hard work is though.

    err.

    Sure, in IT.

    You try to get a job in applied materials or life sciences or education.

    Just try explaining to the nice HR person you like hanging around a lot of prepubescent boys as a "hobby."

    Sure. But ever use a dual link div adapter? Also most smaller monitors don't come with dual link cables. Painful lesson when you're picking up a monitor second hand and forget that fact.

  11. Re:30 Years of VGA on VGA and DVI Ports To Be Phased Out Over Next 5 Years · · Score: 1

    the charger resistor trick isn't really much of a trick to get people to buy proprietary cables. I mean, the dock connector is a proprietary cable. It's meant to allow iDevices to charge at higher amps with out blowing the socket it's plugged into.

    not just old low end cards missing dual link, but also adapting around and cables. I don't think I own one Dual Link cable. most HDMI cables I've got are single link.

    the port connector's huge. Not to mention Dual Link DVI is a pain in the ass.

    Display Port/Mini Display Port is tiny and free.

    I take umbrage to this on two points.

    First, upgrading to Lion required me to take a journey deep into my soul as I was guided by a Lakota man in a Nike jogging suit.

    Second off, I'm pretty sure my MacBook Pro WAS involved.

  19. Re:Monitoring is fine on DHS Monitors Social Media For 'Political Dissent' · · Score: 1

    Err, you're not getting the point. At all. This is about what people can do on private versus public property. This is about being consistent with our demands for privacy. If I were to cause a ruckus on someone's private property, then it wouldn't be out of bounds to ask me to leave.

    Which is what Freespeech zones are when they're on private property. When they're on public grounds, then it's gross and unacceptable. You have no rights to protest or occupy. That's irrespective of whether or not it's a good idea. OWS was a damn good idea.

  21. Re:Google -- learn to f'ing use it: Arver v. US. on DHS Monitors Social Media For 'Political Dissent' · · Score: 1

    Seems like every idiot with a political opinion thinks he's fucking Constitutional scholar lately...

    I blame armchair commentators and largely right wing talking heads.

    It's largely a huge side effect of American libertarianism and this weird worship they have of saying the Constitution is a document that boldly and singularly limits the power of the Federal Government nearly completely... When that's not true at all. The Constitutional Congress of 1787 wasn't a bunch of single minded people, and they were all certainly not anti-Federalists either.

    The Constitution is a contradiction unto itself. For example, want to regulate the emissions of greenhouse gasses by automakers? Commerce, Necessary and Proper clauses.

    Think the Federal Government has no authority to regulate greenhouse gasses? 10th Amendment.

    Constitutionally they're both sound, valid and correct arguments, however, the reality on the ground is, 50 states aren't going to hammer out and agree on even standards of legislation. Some states won't even recognize there's a problem.

    There are some things that the constitution is ADAMANTLY clear about. The first 8 amendments, Habeas Corpus, Interstate Commerce and coining money...

    But for nearly everything else, we're kind of on our own.

    So you wouldn't mind it if everytime you walked out the door I made sure that everyone on the block could hear me call you a baby fucker?

    My point is, if you told me to get the fuck off your lawn, I would have to comply or the cops would come and shove a nightstick in my ass. Because it's your home. If I was on the sidewalk, that's a different tale. Hence the "no" in the original context, because Free Speech Zones extended to the public area and that's bullshit.
