  1. Re:Is there a technical reason for no OTA updates? on iOS 5 Update Available · · Score: 1

    Ever hear of wifi?

    I would prefer he not assault people at all.
    They should throw the book at him. At least two counts of assault with a deadly would be about right. People have died from reactions to OC.

  3. Re:Mines Working on BlackBerry Outage Spreads To North America · · Score: 1

    I have one word for you ACTIVESYNC.
    It is supported on Exchange, Zimbra and damn near every other mail server that matters. It is supported by every reasonably modern smartphone.

  4. Re:Who? on AOL Creates Fully Automated Data Center · · Score: 1

    The building I am in hosts one such setup in the basement. It never floods at my location.

  5. Re:At least they found out about it... on Wine HQ Password Database Compromised · · Score: 1

    No they are not. Come up with better passwords. Use phrases instead of total randomness. "This Is The Worst Password any 1 has ever |-|ad", is one such password that is easy to remember and very secure.

    No need for co2. Put on suit, open door.

  7. Re:Oh the irony! on Linux Kernel Developer Declares VirtualBox Driver "Crap" · · Score: 3, Informative

    That has not been true for years.
    Xen 3.0 added the ability to run unmodified guests.

    It also depends on having VT. Running virtualbox on a cpu old enough to not have VT support would be an exercise in frustration.

  8. Re:They'll have my name on a contract on Sprint Bets Big On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    What provider is this?
    Do they let you bring your own phone or is it some outdated set of midrange smartphones?

  9. Re:I wonder how many towers $20 billion would buy on Sprint Bets Big On the iPhone · · Score: 2

    In many areas the towers are already there. AT&T and Verizon are already using them. I takes nothing other than leasing space on them for another cell provider to get his gear on those towers.

  10. Re:any chance that $21M finds its way back to us? on Hitachi-LG Fined $21M For Price-Fixing Optical Drives · · Score: 1

    Of course that is true, blame the DOJ. They cannot however regain these losses by raising prices now.

  11. Re:optical drives a thin profit business on Hitachi-LG Fined $21M For Price-Fixing Optical Drives · · Score: 2

    No one forces them to compete in this market if they don't like it let them stop making them. I will not feel bad for someone who tried to ripoff consumers to make a quick buck.

  12. Re:any chance that $21M finds its way back to us? on Hitachi-LG Fined $21M For Price-Fixing Optical Drives · · Score: 1

    Here is how it works in reality:

    LG can't raise prices or you would buy the drives from a competitor so they have to eat the loss. If they could raise the price on these drives they would have already.

  13. So if you don't want to hire minorities that should be ok?
    How about child labor?
    Should you be able to pay the parents for a child's labor until it turns 18 and keep it as an indentured servant?

    Employment has to be regulated because of the lack of perfect information and the relative power differences between those that enter into these agreements.

    8GB is miserly?
    By what standard? My phone has twice that and I never even use half of it.

  16. Re:what happens to the kindle fire, exactly? on Amazon In Talks With HP To Buy Palm · · Score: 1

    I will be getting a fire as soon as I hear cyanogenmod is ported to it. Hopefully it won't take too long. That way I have a nice cheap tablet no matter what amazon does in the future.

  17. Re:Now do it for CO2 on MIT's 'Artificial Leaf' Makes Fuel From Sunlight · · Score: 2

    Once you have hydrogen and a source of CO/CO2 like a coal power plant you can make whatever hydrocarbons you want.

  18. Re:Losing Hydrogen on MIT's 'Artificial Leaf' Makes Fuel From Sunlight · · Score: 1

    The sun will be dead before it matters.

  19. Re:Thanks, Space Shuttle on SpaceX Reveals Plans For Full Launch System Re-usability · · Score: 2

    No the shuttle was designed so that it needed the entire US military contractor complex. The Shuttle was purpose designed to spend as much tax payer funds as possible.

  20. Re:Don't trust applications, ever on Outlining a World Where Software Makers Are Liable For Flaws · · Score: 1

    You can make your own SELinux policy all you want. I fail to see how that does not fulfill this.

  21. Re:Sure on Outlining a World Where Software Makers Are Liable For Flaws · · Score: 1

    If the medical industry was serious about this it would already be the case. You could get your surgery X% off if you sign some tort limitation form. That would however go counter to what they want, which is to limit tort and pocket the cash.

    This is called SElinux. It already exists and is in wide use.

    Define middle class.

    It used to mean all the wealth of aristocracy and none of the privilege. So then there has not been much change by that metric.

    If you mean they were considered middle income and paid like other white collar workers. Then we can be pretty sure this is the result of the regulations they have protecting them.

  24. Re:Sure on Outlining a World Where Software Makers Are Liable For Flaws · · Score: 1

    1. That is medical industry bullshit. They just want tort reform to improve their profit margins.
    2. When you make 250k+/year a million worth of insurance is not something too surprising. People routinely insure homes that cost more than 4 times their yearly income.

  25. Re:I was right after all! on Why Chilies Are Hot and Yogurt Puts Out the Fire · · Score: 1

    They are actually pretty lame. I bought some hoping they were hot and was sorely disappointed. They might claim 600k but they are full of shit. I ended up putting after death on them to make them hotter.
