  1. whopping 2.25 MHz on Grace Hopper, UNIVAC, and the First Programming Language · · Score: 1

    Still faster than my first 8080....

  2. Re:Lazy people on Fixing the Pain of Programming · · Score: 1

    A lot of managers/orgs/people can't figure out how to improve their paper processes

    Or define them in the first place.

  3. Lazy people on Fixing the Pain of Programming · · Score: 1

    Just suck it up. If it was easy then everyone would do it. ( actually it is easy, people are just whiny lazy asses these days and want everything to be done for them, and presented on a silver platter, paid for by someone else via some 'wealth distribution plan' )

  4. Re:Upset the industry? on Why Cheap Smartphones Are Going To Upset the Industry · · Score: 1

    Who needs a cellphone carrier? So you think that its 'magic' that your phone has data as you drive around? You seem to not understand that many carriers these days have data caps, but not voice caps. ( all will follow if more people use more data.. ).

    "but i have wifi" , ok where is that coming from? Another carrier that will cap your use. And how do you expect to get that WiFi once you leave your home? Idiot.

    You cant beat the people that control your connection. They make the rules. You will take it, and ask for another.

  5. $200 with a 2-year contract? on Why Cheap Smartphones Are Going To Upset the Industry · · Score: 1

    Except they really were not $200. It's just that people are too stupid to figure out the true cost.

    They are morons, period. As you are, for asking me stupid questions.

  7. Re:This is a real problem and not an Android probl on Apple To Face Lawsuit For iMessage Glitch · · Score: 1

    via a carrier automatically

    Ah, but you see its NOT "via a carrier", its via Apple's network. SMS still works. Their proprietary service, which you are no longer authorized to use, stopped working. That is a HUGE difference there, bucko.

    Sounds like you are too stupid to own a phone.

  8. Re:Once again the FSF does not understand on Free Software Foundation Condemns Mozilla's Move To Support DRM In Firefox · · Score: 1

    Until users decide not to view DRM content, the practice will continue, with or without Firefox.

    its not that simple when what you want to consume is DRMized, with no (viable) alternative.

  9. Re:Ummm No on Apple To Face Lawsuit For iMessage Glitch · · Score: 1

    My response would be they are morons, and are not smart enough to have a phone in the first place.

  10. Re:CPU cycle != 1 second on Understanding an AI's Timescale · · Score: 1

    Yes really. I'm not saying that most ( any? ) of your commodity CPU's do it. What i am saying is that it is possible to do this, if you have the design for it.

  11. Re:ANOTHER DEAD BODY! SWEET JUSTICE! on Robbery Suspect Tracked By GPS and Killed · · Score: 0

    You go on believing that. Ignorance is bliss.

  12. Re:use a foil-lined bag. on Robbery Suspect Tracked By GPS and Killed · · Score: 2

    Most are not that smart.

    This needs to be advertised tho, so criminals know they are at a higher risk of getting caught.

  13. Re:CPU cycle != 1 second on Understanding an AI's Timescale · · Score: 1

    Define task. For example: You can perform a calculation in one clock cycle. You can move data between registers.

  14. Re:This is a real problem and not an Android probl on Apple To Face Lawsuit For iMessage Glitch · · Score: 1

    Its still a user issue and not an apple issue.

    As a disclaimer i no longer use iOS products. There is plenty of 'bad' with iOS, but this isn't one of those times. iMessage was actually pretty cool, as like BBM it saved you from hitting your SMS limits ( if you have one.. ) and i think they were encrypted in transit.

  15. Unable to receive "text" messages? on Apple To Face Lawsuit For iMessage Glitch · · Score: 1

    Um, no apple did not prevent this. They prevented her from getting iMessages, which is proprietary. They have no obligation to figure out that you dropped apple, then magically forward them on via SMS when you ditch their 'services', and cant follow directions.

  16. Re:The former iPhone user is an idiot. on Apple To Face Lawsuit For iMessage Glitch · · Score: 1

    I ran into the same problem when i switched from apple to Android. Boss sent me a message i never got "hey, i was trying to get a hold of you earlier, what happened " This was in the early days of iMessage, before everyone really knew what was going on.

    Even then, it wasn't that *hard* to figure out what was going on, and how to fix it. ( in my case i just put he sim back in and did it on the phone ) I dont think shes an idiot as much as she is a gold digger. Seems like that is the American way these days " its not fair, i'm entitled, so i'm going to sue". Sad state of affairs.

  17. Ummm No on Apple To Face Lawsuit For iMessage Glitch · · Score: 1

    It boils down to people not reading what they agreed to. That and its brain-dead easy to undo the 'hook', and is not a process that Apple is hiding.

    Switching services in many 'areas' involve some work on your part. Suck it up and follow the directions.

  18. Tiered internet coming within 5 years on Comcast Predicts Usage Cap Within 5 Years · · Score: 1

    We wont charge you if you get DVR service from us, but if you want to use Netflix ( who we also have bent over ), sorry for your luck as that comes out of your monthly 'base' allocation.

    Expect the cap to slowly drop until everyone can expect overage charges as a a regular occurrence.

    Losing net-neutrality was just the first step in the plan.

    Right. And how long before it become illegal outright?

    Plus, try going inside a store with it on, you will be bounced faster than you can blink. And if you DO take it off, zap, you are on camera. Once you are ID'd in one spot, its pretty painless to follow you around, even after you put your mask back on.
