  1. Re:I've heard the government wanted failure on LightSquared Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    Are you planning on doing that with all presidents we have had so far?

    I can't think of one in recent memory that did not kill a bunch of people.

  2. Re:No ethernet... on Geekbench Confirms Ivy Bridge MacBook Pro and iMac · · Score: 2

    How often do you really need gigabit?

    I use a macbook air at work and it seems fine. I do any heavy lifting on servers anyway, no laptop is going to compete with 4 Xeons anyway.

  3. Re:Running out of HDMI ports on Foxconn CEO Fuels iTV Rumors · · Score: 1

    Why not use a port multiplier?

    The simple reality is this will lead to less cables and replacing the TV way more often. Which is what the OEMS want.

  4. Re:Display quality? on Foxconn CEO Fuels iTV Rumors · · Score: 1

    Why use the VGA input at all?

    I hook my computer up to my LCD TV using HDMI and have none of these problems.

    How else would the turbo button work?

    Boilers have release valves for a reason. Even if you could turn the heat all the way up the safety release valves would let go. You would have to weld those shut to explode a boiler. If the "evil-doers" are welding those shut you have other problems

    Bullshit. If that was true those shysters would not abound. They would go out of business.

    Feel free to be wrong. These display methods break a lot of things, and are not really browsers.

    They don't. Those cost money, and generate heat that costs more money to get rid of. Their is overhead lighting. You should see the cost savings by firing anyone who brings in anything that plugs into the wall.

    What do you mean? My phone has 1GB of ram, how much do you want?

  11. Re:Why? on HP Shows Off Power Over Ethernet Thin Client · · Score: 1

    Because you don't have to pay for cubicles with power in them? Because you can save a ton on electrical costs? This could easily save more than the cost of the endpoints if you open a new call center.

    These are real problems, that you clearly lack the experience to understand.

    Not if you wanted to setup a call center with 400 desks you would not. That is what this is for.

  13. Re:The Mafia State on North Korea Jamming GPS Signals In South Korea · · Score: 1

    They are acts of War. The USA and South Korea are at war with the DPRK. The War never ended, just some cease-fires.

    Is this really not common knowledge?

    Opera is not really a browser on iOS. It does many other things including doing all of the heavy lifting off the device on a proxy service Opera hosts. Sure it displays webpages, but it does not do this directly.

  15. Re:Completely reasonable on Microsoft Blocks 3d-Party Browsers In Windows RT, Says Mozilla Counsel · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So you are claiming that Metro IE uses no non-public WinRT APIs? Do these APIs allow for a browser that is not based on the IE rendering engine?

  16. Re:Double standards on Microsoft Blocks 3d-Party Browsers In Windows RT, Says Mozilla Counsel · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Apple no longer has that restriction other than on browsers and you should be able to do that to a chromebook.

    The reason MS is held to a different standard is that they are a convicted monopolist. This is much like not letting child molesters live near schools and parks. Giving away ill gotten gains, and using strings attached to that giving to prevent competition with your investments is not very philanthropic.

    Android devices are not infested with malware, and they do in fact run alternate browsers. Windows programs do not run on them for technical reasons not as a method to lockdown the platform.

    Firefox actually already has a version for android on arm called Fennec and it is lighter than the desktop version. I am sure IE will not be limited to some crippled set of APIs, and you know that.

    You are wrong on many facts and in general appear to be a shill.

    Too bad they so far have failed to do that. Why not just light 100 million dollars on fire and call it the same thing?

    How so?
    If I can double my income by being a frequent flier than some increase in cancer risk must surely be worth it. The question to me seems only how much is that risk worth to you.

  20. Re:So what's the answer, then? Never? on Government Asks When It Can Shut Down Wireless Communications · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a human factors problem. Why is the taser on the same side as the gun? Why is the grip not textured in a way unlike the sidearm? Why is a single police officer even carrying both? The ideal solution would probably be to have two officers one with a gun the other with the tazer.

    I would say never. Only because I cannot think of anytime they should do that. Can you?

    Heck, down the page we have a nutter suggesting that richer people be allowed to get more votes. This is the sort of sickness we are dealing with here.

    So I am disenfranchised so they can steal more great. Why not just let them buy laws, skip the whole voting middle man. Heck, let them move the tax burdon to the poor. 0% tax on those making more than 250k a year, I am sure you would support that too.

    Steve Jobs enjoyed his life, he could have quit at any time, and was such an asshole he refused to plate cars so he could use spots meant for the handicapped. He is not someone anyone should be looking up to.

    I am not religious either, but I am not ignorant of shared culture either.

    Taxes are not theft, gold is not money and I am done arguing with a fool who thinks atlas shrugged is anything more than fiction.

    I will pay for your one way ticket to Somalia though.

    You need a history lesson. More likely you will just get to be an egg that is broken.

    Who came to escape oppression? The mayflower was full of those who wanted to oppress, they were fleeing the netherlands. They went there to flee oppression in england, but the netherlands would not them allow to oppress others.

    So then were will we get all this land to build toll roads?
    Often those are regular roads that a toll company gets for a bribe, then fails to maintain, then folds and hands it back to the state. At the very least the state should do those things that it only can. It must also provide for the general welfare.

    To point out lack of experience is ad hominem? Since when?
