  1. Is this relevant on all computers? on Google Highlights Trouble In Detecting Malware · · Score: 1

    What malware should I be worried about on my Samsung Chromebook?

  2. Re:Everyone gets same deal as Nokia? on Microsoft Exec Responds To the Google-Motorola Deal · · Score: 2

    Don't kid yourself, Microsoft controls every move Nokia makes, without paying for them. It was the largest corporate robbery in history. See if you can get an N9? We wouldn't want the public to see Maemo with QT screen objects on a Smart Phone would we.

    Nokia is Microsoft's bitch. More even than Motorola will be after Google pays for them.

    I wish I had mod points for the parent! Also, Microsoft now controls Nokia, so the statement they made about Googorola is incorrect.

  4. It's meaningless on Popularity Trumps Privacy For Many On Facebook · · Score: 0, Troll

    There is no more privacy. It's a concept from the last century. It no longer exists. Once you realize this, it doesn't matter what your Facebook privacy setting are.

  5. What's the point. on LinkedIn Hurries To Address Privacy Stumble · · Score: 1

    I have accounts on several social networking sites. Facebook, Google+, more. I also joined Linkdin several years ago and out of the different sites I belong to find Linkdin annoying and useless. Specifically, I have never once gotten a date from there. So, to me it's as useless as a kick stand on a bass boat.

    They can destroy Facebook any time now.

    Philly is anomaly because the sheriff there has been illegally denying concealed carry permits for some time. His anti civil rights actions are being challenged in court with several cases. Try Google. So, Philly does not count because of the his illegal actions. Cleveland Ohio has been trying the same nonsense, and has been soundly thrashed in court.

    My original argument still stands.

    You make a convincing argument not to outlaw 30 round clips for your Glock's is the right thing to do. They are in fact needed for situations like this.

    If you read what I wrote, I was not advocation shooting anyone. What I was saying is states with "Shall Issue" concealed carry, or constitutional carry are not having rampant mob violence.

    OK, I will rephrase to "Shall issue" concealed carry states. By the way, I seem to have missed the news items about flash mobs in South Dakota. The highest on your list.

    Concealed carry does prevent crime.

    You either miss my point, "Anonymous Coward", or are trying to twist it to your own agenda. What I am saying is the states where concealed carry is common are not having these flash mob incidents because the perpetrators know the citizenry is armed and they would be shot. So, they don't try it in the first place. No one would be pulling out guns and shooting rioters because there are no rioters. It's the law in and of it's self that allows concealed carry that prevents violence on either side.

    Clear? Anonymous Coward?

  16. It's the lack of Smith & Wesson on Technology Blamed For Helping UK Rioters · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We are having these problems in Illinois and Wisconsin as well. Illinois has no concealed carry law, and Wisconsin's doesnt take effect until Nov 1.

    We are not seeing destructive flash mobs in Houston. It's won't happen there because both the organizers and participants know that lots of Texans walk around armed all the time. So, the concealed carry law it's self PREVENTS violence because these hooligans don't want to try something that will lead to them being shot dead.

    So, the UK can watch and spy, and listen all they want and it will have no effect on what is happening.

    The Atlas V uses Kerosene / LOX for it's 1st stage instead of Liquid Hydrogen. Something we learned in the 60's then forgot with the shuttle. Of course we have to buy them from the Russians.

    Actually, paraphrasing the great line from Soylent green, "Chrome OS is made of SUSE"!

    So, it is Linux. It just has anything not needed removed and all the posts not needed locked up. It's *prolly very secure in it's own right.

    I had a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7", and replaced it with the Chromebook. It is great as an internet appliance with a real keyboard.
