  1. Re:He said MOBILE broadband, not Comcast on Confirmed: FCC Will Try To Regulate Internet Under Title II · · Score: 1

    No, his statement says it will also apply to mobile broadband.

  2. Re:They brought it on themselves on Confirmed: FCC Will Try To Regulate Internet Under Title II · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seeing as it was the FCC who originally classified them as Enhanced Service Providers, (oh god I'm having flash backs to when 1/2 the people on this site thought ISP's were common carriers) I fail to see why it is now illegal for them to reclassify them.

    "Just like you would probably laugh if your next door neighbor tried to threaten you with Thermonuclear destruction."

    I don't know, my neighbor has been buying A LOT of smoke detectors lately.

    I believe you meant porch monkey.

    "Randal Graves: Well, I still don't think that porch monkey should be considered a racial term. I've always used it to describe lazy people, not lazy black people. I think if we really tried, we could take back porch monkey and save it."

    Not sure where "left-wing" comes into this at all.

    They haven't abandoned One Plus. They just have a deal with Micromax in India. The One Plus Two will still have Cyanogen as far as i know.

    How did Cyanogen screw over phone makers? really I don't get how an alternative OS who gets limited to no support from the phone makers could possibly screw them over. Wasn't it the phone makers who started locking the boot loaders?

    Not saying they didn't I just have never heard that.

    And if a game is exclusive on another platform doesn't that mean it's not on Microsoft's. And Minecraft is hardly too large to be intimidated by Microsoft seeing as how they now own it.

    You mean the OS that brought my Nexus 5 to it's knees? I wish so much that I never upgraded, I just don't have either the time or the paitience to reload my phone though.

    I saw your windows phone link, I didn't see a weather app mentioned anywhere on the page.

    Check the settings in Play Music. I had this problem when I had my Atrix and if I remember the setting was in the app not in the bluetooth settings. It was really annoying though.

    I really doubt many manufacturers ever thought people would be using microSD cards for swap on phones that normally do not use swap at all. So yeah that is definitely outside of "normal use" situations.

    I would think it happens a lot, seeing how you can use headphones, both wired and bluetooth, to make calls.

    well unless my Nexus 5 is the improper hardware I think your claim of impossible is somewhat mistaken.

    Interesting, that this coincides with this story. Maybe it was just a way to get into the Play Store.

  17. Re:Not always a good thing. on Microsoft To Invest In Rogue Android Startup Cyanogen · · Score: 2

    It seems that Cyanogen is focusing on the One Plus One. Seeing as how they now have a paying gig it doesn't surprise me that that is where their focus is.

    Cyanogen already is the stock OS on a phone. The One Plus One. Your wishes really do come true.

    Not really, one is called OWA for Android the other is Microsoft Outlook Preview. Guess which one this article is about.

    Scroll down the play store a little bit more and you will see the actual Outlook app, not the O365 app.

    no, these aren't sterile mosquitoes so they will breed and produce offspring. It is just the offspring will die before they breed (hopefully). It is within the realm of possibility that a female will be produced with this genetic defect and live long enough to bite a person, and lo and behold we have Mosquito Man (or woman, don't want to be sexist, but hopefully she is sexy, the women not the mosquito).

    I can pick from Cox, and 2 DSL services that max out at 6 Mbps, AT&T and Verizon. So for any reasonable speed I have no choice.

    We subsidized something, it turns out it certainly wasn't broadband.

  25. Re:What are the practical results of this? on FCC Officially Approves Change In the Definition of Broadband · · Score: 3, Informative

    Investors money my ass. Do you know how much tax payer money has been given to the telecoms for the very purpose of implementing broadband nationwide? We've already paid them and so far got very little in return. You want to keep government out of it then be prepared to keep paying more and getting less.
