  1. Re:Hardly surprising.... on Using Laptop To Take Notes Lowers Grades · · Score: 1

    Most likely they were typing the information in. Not copy/paste. This would serve the same purpose as writing, if diligent.

    I'm sure however, that at the same time they were screwing around with the computer. No different than writing your notes and at the same time talking to your girlfriend sitting across you, before cellphones and computers.

  2. Cause and effect on Using Laptop To Take Notes Lowers Grades · · Score: 1

    Need to not get the 2 confused.

  3. What is the problem? on Cisco Slashes 4,000 Jobs · · Score: 1

    Why is Cisco having issues? Competition, or simple market saturation?

  4. "Our competition is lame" on VMware CEO: OpenStack Is Not For the Enterprise · · Score: 1

    Ok. Business as usual.

  5. Its not a war on Next Up: the Jamming Wars · · Score: 1

    Or just send it off into deep space, with the promise we will send the other 2 ark-ships right behind them.

  8. Its not just the NSA on Schneier: The NSA Is Commandeering the Internet · · Score: 1

    Every country is doing this. But i guess USA bashing is 'in' this year.

    Or if you just want to stop paying the yearly shakedown fee...

  10. We have secure mail now on After Lavabit Shut-Down, Dotcom's Mega Promises Secure Mail · · Score: 1

    Just use mail on FreeNet,

    Sure, FreeNet, which would be the more secure option we have currently, doesn't have any outside gateways, but if you are concerned about security, you don't want one anyway.

  11. Old Plan on After Lavabit Shut-Down, Dotcom's Mega Promises Secure Mail · · Score: 1

    By court order your mail can be opened and read. It can also be read after opening when you get hit with a search warrant.

  12. Re:Anything you say online... on New Zealand Court Orders Facebook Disclosure To Employer · · Score: 1

    Unless its public it shouldn't be legally permissible.

    And no employer should have access to your back records. Ever.

  13. Re:Hammer is coming down on Samsung Infringed On Apple Patents, Says ITC · · Score: 1

    Giving local companies preferential treatment isn't a bad thing.

  14. Just block facebook on "Piracy Filter" Blocks TorrentFreak for 4 Million Sky Customers · · Score: 1

    They are evil too, even more so.. that should get about 3.9 million of their 4mil customers pissed off.

  15. Re:sex, shrugs, docked with trolls on The Pirate Bay Is 10 Years Old: 'We Really Didn't Think We'd Make It This Far' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    An those that do want to keep it bottled, have more money than you an I.

    Don't worry, once you get out of school and get a real job you will understand how things actually work in the world.

  18. Re:What would they store? on Memory Wars May Herald Mobile Devices With Terabytes of Capacity · · Score: 1

    Network coverage is good enough for most of us where we don't need *everything* we own locally. Sure. not 100% of all users, but the majority.

    Sure a couple of GB for when you are in a pinch and want to have something to listen to, or don't want to risk a presentation online, but really we don't need to store everything, all the time.

  19. Re:No need for a terabyte on Memory Wars May Herald Mobile Devices With Terabytes of Capacity · · Score: 1

    For what is essentially a network terminal, we really don't need huge amounts of storage.

    Even tho you were being sarcastic.

  20. Budget cuts. Non essentials on Air Force Space Fence Being Shut Down · · Score: 0, Troll

    But be sure we keep the important stuff, like the president's constant vacations.

  21. Doubtfull on Microsoft Will Squeeze Datacenters On Price of Windows Server · · Score: 0

    Problem is most people that are stuck using windows will just have to pony up ( and pass along the increase to their customers ) as they are locked in.

    Lots of apps *require* some sort of windows products and its normally not trivial to change, at least in the real world. I do realize that your mothers basement its not hard to just say 'change to xyz'.

  22. The Economy Sucks on Have eBooks Peaked? · · Score: 1

    Disposable income is less, so 'luxuries' get pushed down the list.

    Pretty simple.

  23. No on Should the Next 'Doctor Who' Be a Woman? · · Score: 1

    Nothing wrong with women of course, but the doctor is male. End of story. Why do we have to extend this PC crap to everything in life?

  24. Re:Old issues can be found at The Internet Archive on Omni Magazine To Reboot · · Score: 1

    Poorly scanned ones... some downright painful to try to read... Makes me regret getting rid of my collection before i scanned them myself.

  25. Re:Omni shifted from science to "scientism" on Omni Magazine To Reboot · · Score: 1

    That is when i dropped my subscription. I had one from the first day, until they ruined it.

    Sort of like when BYTE went south and became 'yet another PC review magazine'.. Was such a loss to the communities that built them.
