  1. Re: AT&T on Slashdot Asks: Which Wireless Carrier Do You Prefer? · · Score: 1

    iMessages are "secure" while texts are not. I set my phone to not auto send over text if an iMessage can't get through.

    In the US we had wild camels released by the US Army. Farmers killed them all eventually.

    I think he's saying Comcast needs to get better and do this.

    Lots of places have small local ISPs which offer better speeds and better service for much less, I wish I lived near one of those, or even AT&T broadband so I could at least get a service discount.

    Could be both, most satisfied people never fill out surveys or reviews. Companies have been known to get people to complain about competitors. Did you read the reviews to see why they're complaining, that's what I've taken to doing on every site with reviews. 5 stars "It works", means 3 stars to me. 1 star with a "It came late but works fine," is a 3 star with a shipping problem. 1 Star, "It doesn't work with my iPhone", when the description says android only is a meaningless review.

  6. Re:Monopoly really on Facebook Owns Four Out of the Five Most Downloaded Apps Worldwide (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You have to have messenger to send and read messages on a phone. It's annoying as hell. I deleted my Facebook app though, so much more battery life.

  7. Re:They asked nicely, he refused on Twitter Allegedly Deleting Negative Tweets About United Airlines' Passenger Abuse (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Not from UA though. The law seems to side on the airline with this one pretty heavily. Maybe the police dept used could be sued, but the airline aside from bad press and stock drops won't be paying for this.

  8. The mods claimed it was due to doxxing and how easily it can be done to police officers since they are public servants.

  9. I found this: http://www.timesfreepress.com/... But it doesn't support the AC.

  10. Re:We have a huge deficit on Sorry America, Your Taxes Aren't High (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    That's dumb, I get taxed and see zero federal and zero state benefits. I'm in the 50s for income, taxed with almost no deductions. Anything I want or need from the government I have to pay for separately. I personally get zero benefit. I donate separately to my volunteer fire dept, I never call the cops anymore after they completely ignored my hit and run call, I don't use and never qualify for any social services, I pay a gas tax separately for road maintenance, and I'm not in public school. I don't benefit from any of the gov (state or fed) payrolls, their healthcare, their subsidies to companies, etc.

  12. Location based recogntion on Samsung Launches Galaxy S8 Smartphone (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it will be able to identify monuments from unique angles or with the location turned off, the restaurant thing makes me think it's location based mostly, unless the restaurant part is a separate thought, but then Siri and Cortana do that too.

    I've lived a few places where I could pick up at the most 3 over the air signals. One time I got two CBS stations!

    But they're "introverts", how can they go outside when it's so "draining" to them.

  16. Phone tag means no one wants to talk to you on IBM, Remote-Work Pioneer, is Calling Thousands Of Employees Back To the Office (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    ' "When you're playing phone tag with someone is quite different than when you're sitting next to someone and can pop up behind them and ask them a question," Peluso says.' No wants to talk to Peluso, clearly by the pop up behind them and ask question statement we can all hate her together.

    Large trucks cause almost all of the damage to roadways, in reality they should be paining the most since they create the most damage and repair needs.

  19. I thought /. was pro Trump since he was anti TPP and anti-H1B visas.

  20. Re:"Police found Purinton 80 miles away at Applebe on Garmin Engineer Shot And Killed By Man Yelling 'Get Out Of My Country!' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Well your logic falls apart there since no one is saying the government and military need to turn all of our guns in as well. Guns make the weak stronger, most people wouldn't listen to cops if they didn't have the threat of force. And a literal countless number of people would be worse off from home invasions and muggings and violence without guns to protect them. I'd give up guns if all the police and all the military gave theirs up. But I'm secure in knowing that will never happen.

    I literally don't see many Android phones though. I'm not the guy you replied to, but my office uses iPhones, almost everyone here has a personal iPhone. When I had a windows phone, the Lumia 1520 I stood out since it was super huge and had the tiles. In my personal life I come across many people using older iPhones instead of using Androids. I know a couple of people with Samsung Edge phones, but it seems to be a rarity. But your numbers are world wide, not US.
