    I can't help but think of the first Mountain climb I ever did. It was with my middle school teacher, and we took a coach bus on the 3 hour trip.

    His choice for a movie? K2, the one where people die climbing a mountain. I suppose he was a sick bastard, after all.

  13. Vote with your dollars! on Best Buy Confirms 'Secret' Version of its Website · · Score: 1

    While I hope that a heavy and hefty lawsuit comes of this, I still believe that it wouldn't be enough for Best Buy to shake their poor business tactics. They certainly, and routinely pull scams on customers such as misquoting prices, bait and switch, and not producing products as advertised.

    I entered in a lengthy battle with Best Buy some years ago, when not finding the advertised product in the package. The fight lasted for 3 weeks, after which I had invested countless hours, and spoke with a chain of people, ending with the Vice President of Customer Relations, who also didn't give a damn.

    Just goes to show you that the poor practices can filter down from the top. I'm sure my complaint to the BBB just got lost among the thousands. All I can do is keep people I know from supporting them.

  14. Re:Dont Blame Symantec on A Bad Week for Symantec · · Score: 1

    While I half-heartedly agree with you, I suppose the argument you could make is: 1) Blame Symantec for making a product that doesn't make it easier to protect from newer threats. 2) Blame Symantec for not escalating the severity of the impact from this threat. 3) Blame CNN for trusting Symantec AV to protect against this, without updating. Either way, it's a class-A blunder.

    Has anyone asked them for their explanation? I feel now would be a good time for them to exercise their right to tell us why they do this.

    I would do so I myself, but I assume there's a paying Skype user here who would garner a bit more attention than I would.

  21. AMD competitive? on IBM's Transistor Data Revealed · · Score: 1

    Largely, the consumer base has been watching the competition between Intel and AMD. Intel is now leading AMD in die size, with 45nm now ready for green light. From what all the watchers seemed to think, AMD was shaking in its boots with the earlier hints from Intel on the new gate architecture. But, if you'll notice from TFA: no fewer than two AMD scientists worked on this project. What do you think?

  23. Re:How viable is it over longer distances? on Siemens Reaches 107 Gbps Data Transfer Record · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This figure of 100mi is actually quite good,
    a general standard in the industry is in the order of 30mi of fiber before signal regeneration is necessary. This is a main reason why the US is not very well suited to fiber octics transmissions in the way a smaller countries like germany or netherlands are. It's not the cost of running fiber, but the cost of maintaining sites and equipment to provide a long distance (cross-country?) signal.
