  1. Re:Technology Paradox on Why Some Cities Get All the Good Jobs (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 1

    That's what happens when you give up, you become content with what you have, you settle. If that's the new American Dream, I'm off to achieve something better.

  2. You can buy a tuner that plugs into the bottom, with an expandable antenna if you want that model.

  3. So isn't the clock going to be off anyway? on Did a Timer Error Change the Outcome of a Division I College Basketball Game? · · Score: 1

    Since the clock is started and stopped manually, doesn't that mean the clock will be off anyway throughout the game, especially after half time? Also why don't we have sensors to detect the ball and start and stop it?

    They'll just reinstitute the gold reserve act and take it all away from us.

    Time to start buying gold pressed latinum.

    Isn't that why bit coins are pooled some places, so you really can't tell who used the money for what? Like I deposit 100 bitcoins into bitcoinebay and when I spend it it's just someone else's random bitcoin so it doesn't actually lead back to me?

  9. Re: End anonymity for cash on EU Proposes End of Anonymity For Bitcoin and Prepaid Card Users (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    The only way I could see this is with how few jobs are available some places and that drug dealers, movers, etc wouldn't be able to find work. That's probably a pretty high amount of people involved in illegal businesses that wouldn't be able to make money otherwise.

    You can also get discounts at a lot of stores if you ask when you use cash since they don't have to pay that 2-3% surcharge.

    South Pole, google operation High Jump and the conspiracy theories about it. Also Wernher von Braun went down there to get moon rocks. He actually did, but that's ammo for the we never went to the moon people.

  15. All mail sent and received is stored in a database by addresses sent from and received to.

  16. Re:Everyone "knows", the new legal standard on Stingray Case Lawyers: "Everyone Knows Cell Phones Generate Location Data" (techdirt.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Bad analogy, since I can't actually see or hear your phone communication without assistance or breaking the law the police should need a warrant. Just like you mailing an envelope, if I go into your mail or the recipients mail and open it I have broken the law.

  17. Damn, some of those patches are crazy, "better the devil you know"? Really?

    Kind of like you would expect more people to talk about, "Oh Apple invented this," or "No one has this on their phones because Apple invented it." Since he doesn't hear that kind of thing what was innovative?

    Because it literally is a swipe an a flick away, swipe to one side you have an alphabetized list of all of your apps. Flick the top down you have a lot of quick options that are editable and access to settings. You hold it briefly, I don't know what you're doing that a less than one second hold is too much time. Most andriod phones have a search button, why is that strange for windows phones to have? It actually brings up cortana, and if you type google in she will take you directly there if you so wish, your ramble of how to do it is off.
