  1. Re:There is no "low end" in the future on After MS-Nokia Pact, Many Nokia Workers Walk Out In Protest · · Score: 2

    I would agree with this. Just like today you can't buy a new 10GB hard disk, in 5 years people probably won't be able to purchase a non-smart phone except in rare circumstances.

  2. Re:What is the internet verses a network? on Is an Internet Kill Switch Feasible In the US? · · Score: 1

    The government has shown that it has a history of being highly irresponsible with such authority. So I would like to see their power in communications spelled out: hey could ask, but not demand.

  3. The enemy of my enemy on LG Wants PlayStation 3 Banned From US Market · · Score: 1

    I just bought an LG TV. Not planning on buying nor recommend others buy Sony for a long, long time.

  4. Re:NAT will never go away on If You Think You Can Ignore IPv6, Think Again · · Score: 1

    I think NAT will still exist but for a different reason. How many v6 IPs will an ISP give you? 1? 10? 100? 1000? Maybe they'll give you 10 but I don't then 10 will be enough.

  5. Re:Right on! on Usage Based Billing In Canada To Be Rescinded · · Score: 1

    BTW my IQ is 135 and I have two (soon to be three) college degrees in physics/engineering, so any claim that I am an idiot or "dumb" is as untrue as claiming France is a member state of the US.

    Just because one has a high IQ or multiple college degrees do not mean you are experts in everything.

  7. Re:Nordic had to do it on Two-Thirds of US Internet Users Lack Fast Broadband · · Score: 2

    I don't know if you were being serious, but the reason is because the monopolies/duopolies have such a stranglehold on the infrastructure it is difficult for anyone else to effectively compete with them. Municipalities get sued by the incumbent ISPs for setting up their own broadband system and winning, there is no need for the likes of Comcast and AT&T to provide cheap and reliable broadband. And when broadband is more expensive than the rest of the world, your aunt and uncle are "satisfied" with what they have.

  8. Re:How about... on Encrypt Your Smartphone — Or Else · · Score: 2

    As per the article, difficult to do when there are tens of thousands of laws that are on the books. What if your phone's accelerometers show you were traveling greater than the speed limit? The data is captured and you didn't even know.

  9. Re:We should remember this next time on Goldman Sachs Says No Facebook Shares For US Investors · · Score: 1

    Like the average US citizen have a choice in the matter.

  10. Re:To be fair on Microsoft Fights Apple Trademark On 'App Store' · · Score: 2

    After all, OS X introduced the .app extension. Microsoft's store should be called Exe Store.

  11. Re:$2.80 to $0.84? on Oversupply Sends DRAM Prices To One-Year Low · · Score: 1

    It's too bad this drop affects DDR2 and above and not DDR.

    .... What a dick.

    Or you could have said he allowed the Federal Reserve to be created.

  13. Re:Windows on Intel Intros 310 Series Mini SSDs · · Score: 1

    There are limitations to the mounting of drives in a separate directory under XP and Server 2003. Not sure if it also affects Vista/7/Server 2008. Some software insists that the destination directory only correlates to the boot drive and not the physical disk forcing a duplicate mount as another drive letter so they see that I have enough space. Overall, it's better than having many drive letters.

  14. Re:Pitchforks on Obama FCC Caves On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. Businesses in the US own the lawmakers so they can have laws to squeeze as much profit from the population. Regulation in Asian and Scandinavian countries promote competition. Those who have control won't allow competition.

  15. Re:The only question I have is on Firefox 4 Beta 8 Up · · Score: 1

    I'll have to see if beta8 improves. But FF is dog dog slow if your history window is up and you visit a site. There is some contention between updating the history file, updating its window, and all other windows--and updating the history file/window wins the contention.

  16. What does this mean? on First-Sale Doctrine Lost Overseas · · Score: 1

    So the Dell notebook that's made in China cannot be resold? The article says this indecision would trigger more companies to move manufacturing overseas--way to go if they do that. I guess most corn-based products are safe but they're one-use.

    What does a tie like this imply? The Supreme Court will hear a similar case again or they will ignore it?

    AV software is a scam. I still remember these guys knew about the Sony rootkit and did nothing to inform their customers.

  22. Re:Not just the Air on Flash Can Rob 2 Hours From MacBook Air's Battery Life · · Score: 1

    foobar2000 is very light weight but a little heavy on the UI configuration. I got tired of iTunes + Quicktime being close to 100MB. My foobar200 installation is less than 18MB with a bunch of plugins like media streaming, various container (rar, zip, etc.) support, tagger support for Discogs, and some other decoders like AC3, DTS, Monkey's. It even has component update capability.

    where in that article does it say he apologized?

    http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wirestory?id=12040758&page=4 is one of the many pages that reference his 1996 apology. Just google "boehner 1996 apology tobacco" and pick your website.

  24. Re:What do you expect? on IE6 Addiction Inhibits Windows 7 Migrations · · Score: 1

    It seems like an interesting product. But I don't know where you get $10/client. Their website says their client works only with the suite, which is sold separately. Client is anywhere from $30-$60 and the suite is $6K to $8K for 1-3 year support. http://store.vmware.com/store/vmware/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.105855800
