    obviously the person that modded this down was educated in the US public school system as they were not able to put the subject line and the body of the message together to understand the joke... either that or YOU SUCK!

    Military coup under direction of their congress and supreme court becasue the election he was trying to hold was against their constitution... for some reason you like to omit that part

  10. Supply and demand... on Consumers May Find Smart Appliances a Dumb Idea · · Score: 1

    if all the smart appliances "go off" when the grid is being used less, wont that put more demand on the grid, and thus cause the price to go up?

    It wont go anywhere unless there is APPLICATION support...

  15. Re:Want absolute security? on Beautiful Security · · Score: 1

    if the tables were turned and Apple was the "big dog" it would be the OS being hacked, not Windows. suggesting another OS is nothing more than security via obscurity cause hackers will go where they can do the most damage, Windows has the biggest market share, so they get the most hits... BeOS doesn't have any viruses either...

    for some odd reason they move all shows like this to Friday night, you would think by now that these show's target audience isn't home or doing something else on a Friday night...

  25. fines, fines and more fines on Intel Receives Record Fine By the EU · · Score: 1

    notice that fines like these go into the gov't coffers, and never go to the hands of those that were supposedly wronged.
    Imagine the affect it would have on these kinds of practices if AMD was to get a large portion of the fine.
