  1. Why so heavy-handed? on Senators Bash ISP and Push Extensive Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Personally, I am tired of the feds making rules and making laws to control more and more things. Tiered service is a reality. If it were not, then you could demand a direct point of presence just like the big boys.

    If you want to fix things, provide some regulation, but we don't need any more heavy-handed "we are the government and we will tell you what to do" kind of attitudes.

    I guess I am saying we need "moderate" fixes, not draconian backlashes.

  2. Re:A picture is worth a thousand words. on New Palm Pictures? · · Score: 1

    (red face of embarrassment) I was giddy in the moment. I really do know better. Got carried away with it. Official retraction.

  3. A picture is worth a thousand words. on New Palm Pictures? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I pulled the pic into a graphics editor and did a little magnification of the subject. I found a couple of interesting things.

    There are some square-ish artifacts around the obviously oval "Slide Show" button that should not be there if the icon was generated. The same square-ish artifacts exist around the inverted triangle icon in the upper right.

    Additionally, the right edge looks as if it was lifted from something else and dropped on there, or the overall dimensions were adjusted. At any rate it looks like somebody mucked with it.

    So... for (int i=0; i 1000; i++) printf ("fake");

    There's my opinion in one thousand words.

  4. When the masses leave the mass market on Music Industry Staggers While Film Industry Blooms · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It is easy to blame somebody else when you have a problem. When you monopolize an industry and then crank out near clones of the same basic beat and rhythm over and over and over, why should you wonder? Could it be that over-saturation of the market is taking place? Could it be that people think your product sucks? Could be.

  5. Re:The 8 types of country songs on Lawsuit Over Crippled Charley Pride Music Disks Settled · · Score: 1

    I like both kinds of music: country AND western.
