  1. Re:HP is the worst on Recent HP Laptops Shipped CPU-Choking Wi-Fi Driver · · Score: 1

    Given that i have seen equal hardware products become more expensive simply by going linux vs windows, i agree.

    Are the blocks there random? If so one would need a screen reader of some kind.

    So he stash them in some fund, and then retires to some sunny place once the jail time is over...

    And the world would gain nothing...

    The problem is not who owns what, but that the very concept of copyright (and related) needs a complete rethink now that to copy takes basically zero effort once something has been digitized.

    Things have gone from scarcity or abundance.

    And that is exactly why media love their ajaxy sites...

    And for those companies that need Windows still for something or other, they can rack up some hardware and run it via a citrix session or similar inside webos.

    i keep envisioning the *AA members as mother birds stuffing content worms down the gullet of their consumer chicks. This with the subtext of "Consume you filthy consumers, consume!"

  9. Re:I just cannot wait on 1Gbps Wi-Fi Coming Soon To a Billion Devices · · Score: 1

    The plane could be at least. One of those birds (and it could be the size of a civilian jet) could potentially jam a large area from up high. Especially as it is fighting against transmitters designed to be hand held and over over a limited distance (to conserve battery power).

    Until me reevaluate copyright now that artists no longer have to risk starvation if their art do not bring food to the table.

    A quick fumble i had with a ipod touch this x-mas showed that a double tap of a certain button brings up a switcher at the bottom.

    I wonder if the real issue will be liability for "blue on blue" events.

  13. Re:I just cannot wait on 1Gbps Wi-Fi Coming Soon To a Billion Devices · · Score: 1

    Jamming trucks would be a more effective means. Jam the frequencies used by the civilian gear but leave open those for the military or similar.

    And if one is clever one can even set up the trucks so that they can triangulate, so that if one want to find a specific transmitter one can open up a local area for a short time (but keep jamming long distance links) to make the device in question send out a handshake. Then one send in the goons.

    Hell, a certain "secret" police used such triangulation to locate spies in the 1940s...

    It may not even be a truck, but a plane (awacs anyone?).

    As there is nothing in honeycomb, except perhaps the ui, that can not be "backported" to phone, i suspect we will see a "honey-phone" soon enough.

    but that vs dying? Not sure i see the tradeoff.

    are we looking at a different angle on the "EM emissions are harmful" debate?

    What really makes me wonder is what it is that is so scary about autism that people will risk their child's life to known fatal diseases because of it.

  20. Re:Déjà Vu on Texas Student Attends School As a Robot · · Score: 1

    the concept is very real, tho i am unsure about the existence of any actual products (tho a simple mobile phone can potentially do the trick thanks to vibration motors for silent notification).

    One thing that comes to mind tho is a PS2 game that came with a usb addon that vibrated. Funny enough, the japanese version of the game shipped said device with a washable plastic sleeve...

    Yep, some of the ww2 code cracking was done that way. Office after office with ladies doing sheet after sheet of calculations by hand (or aided by mechanical calculators).

    Well it will be compatible with existing apps, and 2.3 already lay the groundwork for providing apps that work on both phones and tablets (by including ui elements for both via the *dpi and screen size groups).
