  1. Re:They have multiple street names wrong.. on What Happened to Google Maps? (justinobeirne.com) · · Score: 2

    Google has the street numbers swapped on the highway I live on (even should on the east side, and odd on the west side). I submitted a problem to them almost 3 years ago and about a year later I get an email response that says "we've looked into it and you're right" and that they would send another email when the correction was made.

    It's never been fixed.

  2. Yawn on Dissension Grows Inside Anonymous Because Of Political Propaganda (softpedia.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "Anonymous" is the equivalent of a preschoolers yelling and kicking your shins. Ignore them, or chuckle if you want, then move in.

    These people aren't shaping anyones option on anything.

  3. Exactly. I'm been disconnecting things from the Internet lately, not connecting.

    Once the lovely wears off, you're left with why. I haven't found a good answer yet.

    Original thought? Someone who calls others "sheep" is hardly original.

  5. Re:Definitely nothing to see here. on Panama Papers: Data Leak Exposes Massive Official Corruption (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Conspiracy Theorist are nut job losers. Reporters, truly dedicated professionals and insiders are the ones that make this kind of information available, not people who post on conspiracy forums and rant on tumblr.

    You have to get away from the keyboard if you want to make a difference.

  6. Bitcoin

    You need better friends. I have a group that I hang out with and none talk about any of the topics you listed.

  8. Re:False Flag Operation? on Anonymous Doxes Trump, But Leaked Info Underwhelms · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Right...So called Anonymous is the lamest group of blowhards on the internet. Lowball drivel is all they know.

  9. Re:Share Economy Is Here To Stay on City of Austin Locked In Regulations Battle With Uber, Lyft · · Score: 1

    Über is not "ride sharing" and never has been. It's ride selling.

    You don't charge to share something.

  10. Re:Smart! on Austrian Minister Calls For a Constitutional Right To Pay In Cash · · Score: 1

    I've drove all over the country and while I have been pulled over for speeding or some silly thing, I have never once had an officer even suggest that they want to search me or my vehicle.

  11. Re:Nexus 9 had finish issues on Google To Take 'Apple-Like' Control Over Nexus Phones (droid-life.com) · · Score: 1

    Not a chance. I do not want a computer running 24/7 just to serve and transcode video.

  12. Re:Capitalism on Google Paid $1 Billion To Keep Search On iPhone (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Apple is ending their ad network, iAds.

  13. Re:Why the ignorant as shit term "internet of thin on MIT To Offer Internet of Things Training For Professionals (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I have less devices connected now that I did few years ago, not more.

    Lets see, I currently have my computer (one laptop), smart phone and roku. That's it. I have more devices that could connect, but they aren't, and they won't.

    You can make a free developer account to load on own device. You can't distribute or submit to the App Store.

    It was pulled because it was a closed binary. If they gave the source code and let you compile it, it would have been fine. I downloaded a copy before it was pulled.

    There are open alternatives that do the same thing and are still available.

    Like how I'm running F.lux on my non-jailbroken iPhone, side loaded via x-code? Clearly I can.

    You can downgrade for about a week after the new OS is released. That's about the amount t of time Apple signs the previous and current iOS versions.

    If you have a developer license, you can install anything you want and you can limit distribution. Companies/private developers can distribute apps without the App Store all day long, and have been able to for years.

    Which makes them just as guilty as those who told them to. There was no gun held to their head.

    "I was told to" is never an excuse.

    Nothing has been killed. Enough with the hyperbole.

    Like the above poster said, the iPad 2 is getting five major updates, from the manufacturer. There are 3rd party firmwares for older phones too, like Whited00r, which goes all the way back to the original iPhone, released in 2007.

    Virginia doesn't require insurance. You have to pay a $500 fee to the state, but it's not insurance and doesn't cover anything.
