    Are you saying he should counter sue Microsoft?

  2. Let Flash die on Flash Is Dead; Long Live OpenFL! · · Score: 1

    It been a fun ride but it needs to go. The use of Flash is preventing more open technologies like HTML5 from moving forward in order to support all what Flash used to do.

    We'll see how important this apparent vulnerability is by the amount of malware on iOS.

    If you're vaccinated, it's not going to affect you. If you're not vaccinated because you can't afford to be, then get Obamacare quickly. If you're not vaccinated because of stupidity, then may God help you.

  5. Re:Open Source is better. on Dear Asus Router User: All Your Cloud Are Belong To Us · · Score: 1

    I used DD-WRT on my Linksys router and it was great. However, the ASUS RT-N16 stock firmware does everything I need out of the box. It's very stable and didn't have to reboot it so I'm not going to bother changing it. It would be nice to have info from ASUS on a fix.

    It's not a leak, it is required to ensure a fair and equitable taxation system. Just like public criminal conviction records are essential for a fair and equitable justice system.

    Writing custom modules for companies with defined specific requirements is creative work and you can get good money from this.

    It is important that he points out the risk of contributing to a compiler which jeopardizes the future openness of free software. Why is that a problem for you?

  10. Re:Perhaps Tata wants to acquire Nokia on Nokia Takeover In Jeopardy Due To Alleged $3.4B Tax Bill In India · · Score: 1

    Given the roughly 35% yearly corporate tax rate in India, which also applies to Tata, and the 3 billion figure, you could estimate profits to 10 billions. If their margin averages 30%, their would have sold over 30 billion dollars worth of goods. If that's the case, I think the Indian government is right in their claim. Unless my math is way off.

    I'm sure they do. They were probably designed with Ballmer in mind.

    Especially on sidewalks, I think trees, poles and other vehicles are what kills people, not cars. Remove all obstacles and cars are pretty safe.

    From the OP

    governments would either ban it or take over the system

    I think this is no more possible to ban bitcoins than banning the trade of gold or banning the trade of old stamps. I'd be willing to be paid in gold and as bitcoins become more popular and accepted as payment, I'm sure being paid in bitcoins would be very acceptable. All government want is their share of the income generated by bitcoins.

    Indeed, if it's too volatile it can't be effective in transactions. That being said, it's still in infancy and stability comes with time. As more people trust it, it will tend to fluctuate less.

    I still believe Office 2003 was their best office. After that it became weird. Instead of the anthropomorphic paperclip we now have the forsaken ribbon.

    Taking over a system is also different from making it crash (bug vs exploit).

  20. Re:Subjects in comments are stupid on Surface Pro 2 Gets Significant Battery Boost · · Score: 1

    Isn't the iPad Mini and the Surface 2 only about $50 apart? Plus you can pay a little more and get 3G/LTE on the iPad Mini. I don't think the Android tablet are competition to the iPad given the lack of tablet optimized apps. Sure they're trying to improve but even with this effort, it doesn't mean you'll get a truly tablet optimized app. So even if there are some, they might not be obviously identifiable vs another which just stretches the display.

    Apple has been dying since 1982.

    Apple has a long track record of abusing it's customer base.

    I bought some Apple products and don't feel abused. I also run Fedora as my main desktop so no RDF here. I recently had a problem with my iPhone and they happily replaced it. I'm not sure what TFA is really about but personally, I've not had any problems with iOS7 (wifi or otherwise) and neither has my family.

    You must be new here; most of the time the news slams Microsoft and praises Apple.

    I'm not new and have no idea what you're talking about. Microsoft doesn't count, they've been messing up ever since the iPad took them by surprise.

  24. Re:iPad already beaten on Nokia Introduces Windows Tablet · · Score: 1

    There is a market for each tablet provided they distinguish themselves from others. Apple doesn't have that problem as it's the only tablet that run iOS. If you love iOS, well you're getting an iPad. Android tablets have more of a problem. This RT based Nokia tablet has to beat Microsoft's tablet, the only one out there and perhaps all other Android tablets in features people actually care about. Since it's new, I expect it will but now that MS bought Nokia, what's really the future of this tablet?
