    Or stick it on a read-only compact flash card. Boot with grub into windows (2 second countdown) or interrupt it and boot the recovery partition. Sounds like a winning combo!

  2. Re:How can this not be prior art? on Apple Tries To Patent 3rd Party In-App Purchasing · · Score: 1

    It's not very hard to code and implement apps on your iOS devices if you're a developer.

    every kid in all probability needs a good whacking every so often when its deserved.

  4. Re:Step 1, no DRM on Movie Industry: Loss of Control Worse Than Piracy · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but not having to drive and use a bunch of gas and time to hit up a red box within a mile is worth the extra 99. Especially on really bad weather days.

    the only reason I have it installed is because of Minecraft.

  7. Re:Weird on MRI Magnets Cause Nystagmus · · Score: 1

    No. Don't confuse the issue with the infinite loop of logic. It effects a liquid. Plain and simple. How the surrounding tissue and brain uses that liquid to interpret visuals is entirely irrelevant.

  8. Re:Dear OnStar, on OnStar Reverses ToS Changes · · Score: 1

    yes i remember those days and so does my brother. when being able to carry his sidearm on an airplane by simply being a cop was normal and not something people worried about.

  9. Re:multi-touch? on Apple Denied Trademark For 'Multi-Touch' · · Score: 1

    I don't know if anything like that can be considered art.

  10. Re:Cheaper than a huge flying vacuum on $300M To Save 6 Milliseconds · · Score: 1

    If we could convince them they'd make that much money by laying more cables throughout every state in the lower 48, we just might have speeds comparable to Asia right to the home.

  12. Re:This is not news on Global Mall Operator Starts Reading License Plates · · Score: 2

    Wow, you're totally clueless. How about this: It's no ones damned business where I go or what I do or purchase. That information shouldn't be stored, archived, collected and perused through.

    hey, I have an iPhone and am certainly not a hipster. Those annoying assholes are the bane of every establishment sporting an "indy" music night.

  18. Re:Before we ditch timezone...Let's kill DST first on Ask Slashdot: Could We Deal With the End of Time Zones? · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding? Wake the fark up earlier. I remember a time we woke up in the twilight of the morning and didn't need to rely on clocks to tell us when to do things like wake up or go to sleep. This is the worst kind of nonsense ever.

    whole? you could stand some proficiency in one department I can think of off the top of my head.

  24. Re:Er... how can Android be jailbroken on Jailbroken Devices Compromised By Charging Stations · · Score: 2

    Your comparison of Android and iOS are Oranges and Apples. (:P) Just because someone's jailbroken their iOS device doesn't mean it's insecure from that point, and often times that security hole is the purveyor of other actual fixes to prevent unauthorized access. Including the one it (the jb method) used to jailbreak the device. ie: the PDF exploits used for jailbreaking iOS devices.

    wow you're delusional. Apple can set the prices to whatever they want. It's their product and if you don't like it - you can cram it.
