  1. Re:Incomplete? on Incomplete Microsoft Patch Left Machines Exposed To Stuxnet LNK Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Companies have the power and backing to crush you, while other software companies don't. Even after the whole monopoly busting thing I'm sure MS and it's richer employees have bought many politicians and other government workers.

    This sucks, I wanted to do the National Geographic Genome project but now I'm concerned over privacy.

    I think they meant the rumored firefox phone that didn't materialize, or did it??

    Too bad you didn't pay them anything to do that.

    You need a 2/3 majority vote of a quorom (a simple majority) to overide a veto. It's not likely that they would get the required votes.

    Well when even your own party is fragmented you have to find some way to keep your corporate masters happy.

    Well thats how a lot of the backbone infrustructure works, you pay a fee to use their exisiting connections.

  9. Re:Lift the gag order first... on House Republicans Roll Out Legislation To Overturn New Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    I feel like you've been missing a lot of the discussions lately on the web, a lot of large ISPs have made no compete contracts from towns and cities and even go as far to block municiple internet (citing unfair competition) when the citizens vote for it because it will be cheaper. The problem with these contracts is that no other ISP can come in and comcast/time warner have actually had to let a few of these contracts go to appear not to be a monopoly in their merger persuit.

  10. Re:My virtual character has green skin. on Racial Discrimination Affects Virtual Reality Characters Too · · Score: 4, Informative

    The study says that in the fire scenario the racism disappeared.

    Do none of you realize the Halo reference? Cortana is their phone assistant.

    The head would be major sites, the tail would be things coded less well.

  14. Re:Either way it still gets drive-by malware on Microsoft's Goals For Their New Web Rendering Engine · · Score: 1

    Because most offices will only allow IE and nothing else. Especially older versions. My office uses IE 8.

    Well we don't want educated people making their own minds up about stuff.

    Do you have a link, I never heard about them Netflix/Verizon thing not being true.

  18. Re:There's fragmentation on iOS too... on Who's Afraid of Android Fragmentation? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually Apple just pushed way harder on carriers making them approve their phone updates. Google's bargining power is weaker, along with Microsofts. Apple played it right when Steve Jobs made the deals.

  19. Re:Well someone has to do it on The Programmers Who Want To Get Rid of Software Estimates · · Score: 1

    I agree and disagree, the problem is managers don't understand the programming. If a manger knew that you were going to build off a similar product with low overhead and low time he could make that call. But a lot of it has more to do with how much are the devs budgeted.

  20. This is how a website ends on Reddit Imposes Ban On Sexual Content Posted Without Permission · · Score: 1

    Pretty cool, I'm glad I get to watch reddit disappear like Dig did.

  21. I hate everything he said on Schneier: Everyone Wants You To Have Security, But Not From Them · · Score: 1

    I don't want companies and apps having any of my information. They want it, and in exchange for using their services I have to hand it over for them to lose. Yet somehow they aren't responsible for that loss. Then all the someone else stuff is really you want an ecosystem that works on your computer or phone, true I do want it to work togther, but I don't want them knowing anything about my pics or texts or whatever. The last part is ridiculous. The only, only, only reason I need to be able to do a password recovery is because all of these sites don't allow me to use the password I want and nothing less or more. The fact that some demand a capital and don't accept certain punctuation annoy the hell out of me. And without a password saver or some sort of requirements hint on the log in it's all guessing if I frequent the site very little.

  22. What a reason to sue on Wheel of Time TV Pilot Producers Sue Robert Jordan's Widow For Defamation · · Score: 1

    "She said she had nothing to do with it, your honor!" And who would want to from the reviews. It seems she'll win cause she was explicitly talking about pilot and not the overall contract talk that she was involved in.

  23. So a smart country would "target" itself since it recieved all the info anyway. This means that these findings aren't really there; just guesses.

    I didn't like the android OS after dropping iOS. I decided hey, I used a windows phone for a couple of weeks, lets get one again. I like it alot, sure it's missing some apps, but not having them hasn't bothered me at all. But I'm an adaptive person.

    I don't know, I lived near a small airport and there aren't very many flights there. And the helicopters seem to be flying pretty low, low enough that the one person is claming it is causing damage to his house.
