    Thanks for this comment, I actually just got done searching for "voice" on cydia and game up empty. Now I have GV mobile installed.

  2. Re:Not only act of idiocy on Wells Fargo Bank Sues Itself · · Score: 1

    I can vouch for this as well. I tried to buy a foreclosure house, owned by Wells Fargo. After 6 months of placing a good offer on the home, and trying to find someone that CAN sell the home, I gave up. It was a shame, I think they eventually took less than my offer. I just couldn't wait around any more. They obviously didn't care if they lose money or not. I initially thought they were just overloaded with foreclosures, but I now think they were just incompetent. I'm sure they can operate for quite a while using government funding.

  3. Re:RDP on Using 1 Gaming Computer For 2 People? · · Score: 1

    I've used this software long ago, and can say that it works using 1 single XP Pro computer. Perhaps this is what the OP is looking for.

    BeTwin (By ThinSoft) It uses XP's fast user switching to allow two users simultaneously on two different monitors.

    At the time, I was looking for a way to have two users input at the same time in one microsoft word document (basically two cursors, so two people could edit the same document onscreen simultaneously). I never found it. But I did find this cool little app along the way.

  8. Re:Iowa takes lead in corporate welfare on Iowa's New Top Crop Is Server Farms · · Score: 0

    I don't think you realize that "tax breaks" doesn't cost the state anything. They just not TAKING that particular money... so that they can get other money (taxes) later.

  9. Re:Iowa takes lead in corporate welfare on Iowa's New Top Crop Is Server Farms · · Score: 1

    You're not thinking about the big picture. It also takes construction crews to build the facility.
    and when those 75 jobs begin, their families will be local consumers that spend money for other jobs that will be needed. Their kids will need schooling... The power company will need people to upgrade and maintain their infrastructure.

    It's not just 75 jobs, the list goes on and on.

  11. Re:How about the reverse quotas? on The Push For Quotas For Women In Science · · Score: 1

    1. All those men's sports weren't cut to create programs for women, they were cut for money. Yes, colleges had to pony up for women's sports. But if you think that they were keeping wrestling, you're dreaming. You may hear people (and administrators) blame Title IX, but it's a cover.

    We'll think what you want. They kept the women's golf and the women's swimming. They certainly don't make any more money than the men's sports did.

    And yes, I have seen the effects of title IX, and many other forms of quotas and reverse discrimination. Frankly, I don't understand why prejudicialness is the accepted solution to prejudicialness.

  12. Re:How about the reverse quotas? on The Push For Quotas For Women In Science · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As a former athlete, I can tell you what these restrictions will create:

    Less opportunities for men.

    They'd like to pretend it will be a positive influence and more opportunity for women. But tell that to the men's swimming team, the men's golf team, the men's track team, and the men's wrestling team... and good luck finding them, because those programs were all cut. After all, they had to "create" more opportunities for women.

    Here's my suggestion: how about we just actually give them the same opportunities, and if they don't take them... fine. Remove the male/female checkboxes from the applications. There's no need to create restrictions/quotas.
