honestly it wouldnt be too difficult to debunk a ton of the stuff in the bible... as long as you are talking to a SANE judge, and not a bible thumping lunatic
it seems to me that noone buys their top tiers because they charge more than google's gigabit fiber for 1/300th of the speed... no shit sherlock, noone is going to pay that kind of price.
you dont generally go public with an exploit until you have a fix for it. it seems silly to me to publicize a way to take over peoples' accounts that the person who found out is keeping quiet. if you do, then everyone who would be using exploits is now aware of an exploit that you cant fix in the immediate future
there were a lot of nice features about the ubuntu phone... but the one thing i disagreed with was the lack of a lock screen... at least as far as i could tell
Software patents really need to just dissapear... it has gotten to the point where software developers are afraid that they will get sued every time they create something... this is just absurd.
there is a difference between jail breaking/rooting and unlocking.... this would only affect those ppl who are using an old phone to travel in other countries... or ppl who, like it says, are buying a phone under a contract and then switching contracts
no, they really shouldnt... the MPAA and RIAA are being totally ridiculous... they are just stealing from ppl.
all of their lawsuits are insane. you cant charge someone 100 million dollars because they download a few songs... imo, the lawsuit for these should be double the cost of buying the song legally.
if i recall correctly from the hipaa rules, it isnt the hospice that is required to pay the fine, im pretty sure it is the employees responsible. the incorporation isnt the one being charged with the loss of the patient data.
another thing you could do would be to disable the mouse and keyboard while hes watching... sure eventually he will figure out a way to get past it... but how old is this kid? i doubt he would try.
i think what they should be doing is finding ways to make schools safer, and not trying to raise other ppls' children. violent video games dont make people more violent... it is just that violent people play violent video games. the idiots all have the cause/effect mixed up.
there are a very small percentage of children who actually thinks it is ok to do what these violent people do. the vast majority of children can tell what is right from what is wrong by the time they are at the age at which they can obtain guns.
just because there are a few people who are mentally unstable, and probably have a sketchy upbringing doesnt mean the government should step in and ruin everyone's childhood
in the US, where murder is held as the worst crime and should be given the worst punishment... it isnt. downloading an album of michael jackson's songs will give you a longer prison sentence than murdering michael jackson... yea... fuck the music industry.
as far as the petition goes... if it gets 25k signatures, it requires a response... it does not however require that they say yes... they could respond "in your dreams" and it would be valid.
megabytes per second.
megabits is Mb, megabytes is MB. confusing, i know. a megabyte is 8 megabits. most internet from cable companies is measured in megabits, but this netflix thing is in megabytes.
therefore, 2.55 MB/s would be equal to 20.4 megabits
it just means that much more ppl are using the free version, which is only 5mbit/sec, than the paid gigabit speeds. although, even that seems like a stretch to me. it is entirely possible that the netflix servers only allow downloading speeds to cap at 2.55MB/S, since there is no reason to go faster than that(it would never have buffer time)
im sure that any city would put up a fund of billions to get google fiber. if we could pay 50-100$ to get the right to get fast internet at the price we are paying for slow internet... everyone would do so.
a lot of companies ban the electronics not under the thought that it would bring down the plane, but more of the fact that if you cant use ipads, you are more likely to spend money on the in-flight movies.... and if you cant use your phone, you might be willing to pay for emergency calling.
weve been stuck with a government that doesnt change since pretty much the end of the civil war. and that only slightly changed it from when the constitution was created in the first place. just look at how many useless parts of government there are... or how many parts dont make any sense at all... one of them for example is the electoral college.... which in the digital age is totally pointless.

it doesnt have to be slide to unlock... but some sort of security feature would be nice

lol... this is y2k all over again
they are probably getting payed a huge amount by the RIAA and MPAA to do this.. and by huge i mean in the hundreds of millions to billions

you can put videos you dont want him to navigate to in hidden/password protected folders

in my opinion... the entire government needs a revamp... it is stuck in a world 150 years ago... it needs to be made to fit current times.
ah, but that would leave the oil for us.... which would be great for our society, not having to deal with opeq
we should just carpet bomb the country back to the stone age... let the non-religious fanatics leave the country before we do so
