    "Why don't you just buy a prepay one?"

    Prepay doesn't have data.

  4. Re:A sound plan on Reported Obama Plan Would Privatize Manned Launches · · Score: 2, Funny

    With a for-profit corporation, one fatal accident and you are finished, if not from the legal costs of the inevitable lawsuits, then from the loss of market share in what will most likely be a rather limited market.

    I guess that's why we don't have any airlines. After the first plane crash, they all went under.

  5. Re:iPad? Really? on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    Not exactly a new name.

    In Star Trek TNG, the hand held tablets were called PADs.

  6. Re:No flash support on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    I rather have Apple kill Flash. Flash is a piece of shit. HTML5 is the future.

    Apple doesn't need to do anything. Flash dies on it's own.

    One way to stop this would be to turn Mickey into an pop culture symbol for a pedophile or terrorist...

    Isn't the Dinsey Channel's sexualization of young teens already make it the pedophile icon?

  11. Re:Price? Huh? on Displayport V1.2 To Take Giant Leap Over HDMI · · Score: 1

    Have you ever actually tried this? DVI and HDMI are balanced connections, and they were never designed for long runs-more than 6 feet will sometimes get "sparkle" from digital artifacts.

    No issue with the 10 foot DVI to HDMI cable I bought from Fry's for $15 last month.

    we are more scared of the mythical terrorist.

    Dick Cheney isn't mythical.

    Companies make a ton of money off this.

    Remember those virtual stripping machines that wouldn't sell before the CIA set up the "underwear bomber" to get sales moving again?

  14. Re:HTTP(S)? Marketing/profitability & IPv4 on What's Holding Back Encryption? · · Score: 1

    You can argue that we should instead be using IPv6, and I might agree, but we're simply not there yet.

    Are we there yet?

    Second, it's cheaper than your VOIP provider unless your VOIP provider can beat $1.70 mo.

    My VOIP provider is $0 per month. The only charge is for actual calls made.
