However, Romney has no credibility on budgets... he claimed that he left MA with a $20 Billion "Rainy Day Fund" when actually that was $20 Million in a debate just before the NH Primary that was televised by CNN.
If you're paying more than $30 for an MS Office book you're being overcharged. This sounds like a hardcover that's being sold in place of $20 books from the...for Dummies series, the Absolute Beginner's Guide to series, and the Idiot's Guide to... series. Accuse this professor of making too much money off of his bookstore kickbacks (which are legal but students should hate) and next time get your education from another place or just the book.
What is wrong with Google that made Iran block it? You better have your own national Google ready to run in order to replace it unless you just want your population to get stupid.
Um, Iran... you're just plain being evil against Google's Don't Be Evil policy. I suggest we allow Google to commit one evil act against Iran with no Slashdot discussion in order to punish the country for rejecting Google.
Yep, and that's my point. The 820 comes with a slot for you to bring your own flash memory chip. The 920 has a chip already installed that goes, guest where...exactly where the slot would have connected. Now, when you talk Apple, the iPod Touch always has a double memory compared to an iPhone when comparing top end to top end because the GSM chip takes about the same space as the memory chip.
What do we have here? We have a phone that does not have an SD slot but has one of the smaller slots defined in the SD standard... you can add as much memory as you want and it costs the same as an SD chip because the plastic saved is of no value. The only way this chip is a problem is if you try to take it out too frequently it's not as easy, but that's not something you do often with your phone, you sync over USB. Nothing to see here, move along. Must be a SlowNewsNight..
Linux Professional? There's nobody here by that title. Most people who know Linux also have some other job to do because there's few jobs for people who want to maintain Linux all day without at least worrying about an app or hardware too.
If power problems are downing the city's datacenter for a holiday weekend, couldn't they just rent a few $100/mo servers and run the city apps on them for the downtime and make the problems transparent to the end user? No one-place site is ever safe for important apps, we call that a Single Point of Failure around here.
In order for Microsoft to kill rogue software they have to know something about what you're installing. SmartScreen is Microsoft's attempt to implement this kind of malware prevention, just like the age-old send error report features lets Microsoft know about programs that crash into the operating system's area.
Yep, SSO leaves people with one vendor who owns everything... Passport works for all MSN sites, Magic Carpet is the codename for AOL/Time Warner Sites, Yahoo and Amazon also use it on their sites.... nobody's been willing to merge systems that big.
AT&T Mobility made the same error in some online ads on their site because the computer programming adding the 4G logo saw the 4 in "iPhone 4" and assumed that meant 4G mistakenly.
Yeah, I hate it when I write something serious and get back 3:Funny. Maybe mods should be limited to the serious mods for posts declared serious and Funny only for posts tagged as a joke. I'll send the Wicked Early News team after this story...
Stop it with the insults... I am the LostCluster (See me on Twitter!) and my account got stolen. I need DB Admin help to get it back. I can be authenticated as me.
The early-day-P2P solutions like Napster and AIMster all failed because they did such a good job of sorting illegal uploads, the legal uses were hard to find. Protocols like Bittorrent care not whether the file is legal or not... they just blindly pass the data. There are many good free-to-stream podcasts that need the help of BT users in order to get their show out. Hollywood would love to find a way to keep their stuff out while the legal stuff still moves... but right now the best solution they have is an all-out shoutdown.
Text messaging flows through a pipe... that is, in any given area there is plenty of room for more text messages in flow, and the only way the system fails is if there's enough to fill the pipe. Unused bits of airtime are like empty airline seats, they're worth $0 once the time passes.
So, does 50 cents a message seem reasonable when e-mail is charged at the data rate which is much cheaper... and AIM,Skype, Google's products, MySpace, Facebool, etc. all also travel over the data pipe?
SO, there it is, plain text messaging is going away.... and it's going to be a lot like the old days of Prodigy and AOL where you have to select which protocol to use to reach your friends.
To tell a story, you need to speak with the person who generated the story and decide whether you believe them. Somebody must be a witeness to the event that happened, otherwise there's little to no way to report the story.
The editors have the ability to authenticate me. I'm coming from the same IP address LostCluster was last seen at before the e-mail and password change that locked me out of my account. There's other before/after differences they can notice to return the LostCluster account to me.

We used to have a lot of geeky lawyers around here... where did they go?
Non-programmers... on Slashdot? Did the demographics of the user base here change when I wasn't looking?
Firehose... that must be new here.

Hey Mods, Stop using OverRated to be the only mods on a post... that will automatically fail in mod2 if I can get control of that....

This is so easy... leave some emoticon, shorthand, or just plain the word "Joke" to mark all jokes so they don't get taken the wrong way.
Cheap sequencing is a little scary to me. How close are they from creating a person from picked genes and how does that affect evolution?
You should be modded Insightful rather than Funny. It's true, I do enjoy sharing information with others.
People who have less money are depressed... so those who can't afford to pay for content are more likely to steal it than those who can afford to pay.

No, I'm LostCluster. See the problem?
