  1. Re:Unable to logout on Are There Any Smartphones That Respect Privacy? · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. In fact, my PIN code is 6 digits. I prefer to miss it sometimes instead of making it easy to guess.

  2. Unable to logout on Are There Any Smartphones That Respect Privacy? · · Score: 2

    I've just got a SGSII and I was shocked when I realized that, you can not log out of gmail.

    How can that be? Locking the screen is the safest way to keep your gmail account private in an android device.

    That's why people like me loved the Nokia N900. I remember how my forsaken OS phone let me do whatever I wanted.

  3. Re:Stock roms, lawl on Reviews of Kindle Fire Are a Mixed Bag · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Even if it can be rooted, that will not make it succeed. How many people can actually root a device?

    I think the 90% (maybe more) of the people that buys a Kindle (or any tablet) do not even know about what rooting a device is.

  4. If evidence is found by swapping passwords... on Judge Makes Divorcing Couple Swap Facebook Passwords · · Score: 2

    The cheater must be sentenced for being stupid, not for being unfaithful.

    How can someone use his/her facebook/email account for cheat instead of creating a fake one?

  5. Re:I do not know what to do... on Firefox 9.0 Beta Available · · Score: 1

    This has stopped being funny after FF5. It's the same comment over and over again

    If not funny anymore, why are you reading it over and over again?

  6. I do not know what to do... on Firefox 9.0 Beta Available · · Score: 4, Funny

    I do not know if I want to test FF9 now, that my day is coming to an end here at work, or well, just wait to come home and test FF10.

    Yes, I use Concept Draw, very satisfied. However, in this MS World, everybody sends me .vsd files :-/

    Thanks for the spelling check, I meant "can't" as you corrected.

    Regarding the viewer, it still runs only in windows.

  9. Re:Honestly? on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    I'm far too set in my ways, and I've never found anything equal to SecureCRT on any other platform.

    I'm using JellyfiSHH in my MAC to bookmark the hosts I have to SSH, but I do really miss SecureCRT.

    "Options for word processing, spreadsheets, etc. have grown. "

    Not quite true.

    For simple things, yes, LibreOffice works great, but, in most cases, you can not change the MSExcel to a economist.

    Also, In my personal experience, MSVisio is a must have, and there is not a real replacement. In fact, there is not any alternative at all if you receive visio files. You can even open them to look at them.

    At home (suft the web mostly) I use Ubuntu. Perfect.

    At work, I have a Mac and I love it, but I sill have to run XP in VBox just to run Visio.

  14. Re:Deitel & Deitel on What Is the Most Influential Programming Book? · · Score: 2

    Absolutely.

    I'm not a programmer full time (not even part time :) ) but once, many years ago, I had to learn by myself how to program C, and I've got "C: How to program" and for me, it is the best book on programming I've ever read.

    They way it teaches it just excellent. I do not mean the way it teaches C, I mean, the way it teaches how to program, what a programming language is, etc.

    I just did not want to post it under someone else "thanks" post. I'm being selfish today :-)

    The best for you and your family!

  17. Re:Waiting for Nokia to tank... on Microsoft Exec Responds To the Google-Motorola Deal · · Score: 1

    Absolutely.

    I can not understand how Nokia insists on WP7 when users everywhere want to buy the N9 with meego.

    It's even funny when users are asking for something they want to buy and the CEO thinks they're all wrong, that WP7 is the way to go. It is the easiest business: people is already telling you what product they want, you just to produce it and sell it.

    most of the people out there will think that Hurd is just another linux Distro.

  19. In a decade: "Project Managers" on Have American Businesses Been Stranded By the MBAs? · · Score: 1

    The "I want to get an MBA" started here where I live -Costa Rica- back in the 80s-90s and some universities started to graduate dozens of MBAs, with a very low quality, they just wanted to make money and people receiving that bad education just wanted to have a "Master" degree in anything, no matter what.

    Now that the MBA turned into a non-value degree (because every body has or can get one easily) I'm starting to see a new trend: people is starting to get a "Project Manager" degree.

    PMP for everyone !

    And please do not forget that you have to pay to the PMI, a "non-profit organization", every 2 years for your certification to be valid. And don't complain about that. Please be kind and remember that they -PMI- need to travel everywhere in the world every week (and stay in good hotels of course) to show you why, they are "Making project management indispensable for business results.®" (pmi.org)

  22. Re:Does it run on my n900? on MeeGo 1.2 Released · · Score: 2

    Today, I would not recommend it. In fact, it stands clearly as a Developer Version.

    If you want to 'upgrade' your n900, I'd recommend you to try CSSU. Maybe you have already.

    I hope so as well.

    However, after the leaked? teaser of the N9?, maybe it will never be a official version for n900.

  25. I just don't believe it on World's Servers Process 9.57ZB of Data a Year · · Score: 1

    I do not want to under appreciate the people that made this research, but I just don't believe it. At all.

    Evey time I see any of this studies I wonder if there exist on this planet any way to know, not even an approximation, a thing like that.

    Thousands of private servers can not be count on.

      9.57 zettabytes ? Wow, how did you get the .57? Maybe it was rounded from the real 9.56873981273982173 zettabytes calculated.

    A more serious conclusion would have been "about 10 zettabytes".
