    And buy their wine by the six-pack.

    Actually it is in a box. Even a six pack of little bottles is too high brow for most Walmart shoppers.

    For the most part, most of us live long enough.

    The insanely rich overlords want to see the enslavement of your children and your grand children.

    Any child under 10 using any internet capable device should have eyes-on supervision while using it, all the time.

    Easier access for pedophiles.

    It was easier in the old days. Today there are terrorists hiding under every rock.

    So what is it? A connectivity alternative? Network replacement? 10 Gbps? Really? And I should be impressed why?

    If LightPeak had USB in the name, you would probably be posting how great it will be.

  10. Re:What the hell on FCC To Allow Texting To 911 · · Score: 2

    My dad somehow managed to butt dial 911 while at the gun range one day... that was a fun adventure.

    Many cell phones have an "emergency" button that will dial even when the keypad is locked. Makes it very easy to butt dial. (On my Sony Ericsson P800 it I learned it was the 8 key.)

    Just how small does your penis need to be to need a 1,000 cores?

    Why have 1000 cores when you can have 1 MILLION CORES, (all running applications that can barely take advantage of 1 or 2)

    Your computer only runs 1 application at a time?

  13. Re:Go-oo on Where Do I Go Now That Oracle Owns OpenOffice.org? · · Score: 1

    You should visit Go-oo.org and use their fork of OpenOffice.org.

    LibreOffice is a rebranding of Go-oo.org

  14. Re:Be Patient on Where Do I Go Now That Oracle Owns OpenOffice.org? · · Score: 1, Informative

    The only difference between OpenOffice and LibreOffice is branding.

    I was wondering for a long time why fleet vehicles that stop and start every couple blocks were not electric since it seems like electricity would work best in well managed systems more than for consumers

  23. Re:Flash *video* comes to iPhone on Flash Comes To the iPhone Via App · · Score: 1

    Because if you just factor in the traffic to YouTube, you'll realise that video IS the most used application of Flash. And just making video work without Flash will cause a huge drop in Flash usage.

    You do realize that YouTube is the biggest html5 video site?
