    Thats why there is HP and BHP measurements.

    Well, this is because states that do charge a sales tax rarely include it in item costs. I know that most stuff I see when I buy from Europe usually says VAT included. I guess its just two different ways of doing things.

    I think the point he was making was that Apple users being iPhone users would blame Apple for the cards.

    You must have not used Android in awhile. Most applications let you move them to the SD card.

  5. Re:They're assholes. on Why Lizard Squad Took Down PSN and Xbox Live On Christmas Day · · Score: 1

    With how fast my mobile phone connection is (75/40 average 30MS ping on speed test) and the amount of data I have for teathering (40gb/month), it would be an extremely rare instance where both my phone and home connections are out at the same time.

    And if that were to happen, I'd probably be out paintballing with friends instead of playing golf. I'm not that old yet.

    He was making an open ended statement about other platforms that might or might not exist. I gave the example that the GP was posting about since it seems like he missed the point. This had nothing to do about what platform people prefer.

    The point he was making is that they could just be playing on PC. You have a very freedom-minded, open source (if you want it), gaming platform that has a huge library of games to go along with it. Oh, main game servers taken down? Get on something like GameRanger to play online without the official servers. The point, I think you missed it.

    I was only clarifying what someone else said. Never said I agreed with it.

  9. Re:Surge pricing during security incident on Uber Pushing For Patent On Surge Pricing · · Score: 1

    You missed the point he was making. He is saying to let surge price happening automatically under scheduled events (Concerts, sporting events, festivals, etc), where as any other time a massive uptick happens (such as the hostage situation), that it requires manual intervention before activating surge pricing. This wasn't about giving stuff up for free.

    Health care initially skyrocketed when the insurance agencies started going from NPO to For Profit. If all healthcare was NPO (as would be the case with a socialist medical system), you wouldn't be having this problem. The issue is that Obama Care is basically the middle ground between free market and socialist, getting the worst of both worlds.

    Where do you live? I'm paying $140/month after taxes and all that other jazz that gets taxed on for basic cable, phone, and 150mbps symmetrical on Verizon FiOS. I live in a decent sized town, but its mostly old people that aren't paying for the service.

  15. Re:Hmmmmm. Interesting decision history... on Ask Slashdot: How Should a Liberal Arts Major Get Into STEM? · · Score: 1

    I'll be honest here. Most of college bores the shit out of me right now. Why? I can read the book in half the time it would be required to show up to class and get more information than sitting around having to listen to people in way above their heads (the nightmare that was my MS Powershell v2 for Admins class and my CCNP class) asking the same damn questions over and over again.

    I could have saved the money and time just kicking it at home reading the book and doing the actual certification tests a month or two down the road. The only classes I really enjoyed doing so far were my gen ed. For some reason I love doing English, History, and Psych, but I hated sitting through tech classes with idiots.

  16. Re:Good Decision on Apple Wins iTunes DRM Case · · Score: 1

    Great idea. Should one ever try to sue a big company and lose, they would be in debt for the rest of their lives, with no chance to ever pay back what they owe. Sounds like a great protection for the corporations from the little guy.

  17. Re:I have nothing better to do... on Should IT Professionals Be Exempt From Overtime Regulations? · · Score: 1

    I had this problem with a previous employer. Its a double edge sword. I was working on a refresh project at a major bank, and I was told several times "This is your work load, you get this done every day, we do not pay overtime." I managed to automate most of my work load which lead to four hour days. If they refuse to pay me the OT I had to work when I was first getting accustomed to the systems and treat me like Im salary, I believe I had the right to get my work load done for the day and go home.

    And yet Tera would disagree with you about F2P models. Almost everything is cosmetic, and as for the P2W item that people birch about (PP Bolster for crafting) is a waste. EME let's you have 10 accounts per IP. All the top tier end game gear requires 1 or two types non tradeable, non bankable items to craft. Sure, I've made enough gold to buy the other mats 10 times over, but i still have to grind line everyone else. Oh yeah, and DotA 2 and LoL have some words to say about F2P being dead.
