  2. great on Congressmen Send Letters, Hope For Net Neutrality Fades · · Score: 0

    let company's like comcast keep running out of control. they are aruldy losing there subscribers in mass to competing isps and satlite providers.what does that mean for people that are stuck with comcast you guess it even higher rates for throttled lower quality internet. i know people will start the dsl is slower fight but faster does not mean better if you cant use it for anything other then email. and that's what comcast whants and without the fcc stepping in that's what they will get. and by time joe user catches on to this it will be to late. i relly encourage voters to contact there congress and express there disagreement with them stoping the fcc.from forcing these isps to be fair. the fcc should also appeal and go back to court over that ruling that hurt there move badly.

    they are making flash for non-x86 due out first on android devices this year. they also desperately wanted to get it on the iphone they even built a version under apples rules and apple still refused. so arm flash will be hear very soon. they also have power-pc flash been around for a good wile but they have abandon it due to the death of power-pc. and arm being widly used is a recent thing with android and iphones and now arm netbooks. before how many people relly had a arm based pc it wasn't very many. mostly dev machines.

  4. short lession on words and there power. on Decency Group Says "$#*!" Is Indecent · · Score: 0

    a offensive word can only have power if theirs some cry baby out there willing to take it as offensive. the word nigger is a great example it was misused and turned into a race offensive word wile in realty it only meant ignorant person,. wile the word over the last few years has been losing its power to offend people its still there. i mean this if you called a black guy a nigger 20 years ago you better have your grave ready. if you did it now he probably would look at your like you lost your mind or just ignore you. or like my buddy blaze does laugh at you. if tv shows all started using fuck and not cencering it after all the cry babys finished with there fits guess what happens to the power of using the word fuck it loses its power alot. as i said a word can only be offensiv couse some nutbag thinks it is. as people have said theirs shows on most networks that show mangled body's in all kinds of crazy ways man you rember that csi ep with the wood chipper and they showed it. but if they sware they go to far.

    agreed i switched to dish and there support it awesome i also get dsl threw windstream. im saving over 50$ a month compared when i had cable and my phone threw other providers without internet. the dish never goes out unless its really storming outside where talking tornado warned cells but at that time i have my weather radio on anyways. and the cable would go out in the same systems anyways but for much longer. it went out one time in a heavy ice storm once but was back up whiten a hr. when i called them in the ice storm being it was the first heavy snow that ever knocked out the dish they where willing to send a tech the same morning to see if it was iced over. try getting that kind of support from cable. its the same story with my dsl provider the tech support is amarcan not some guy in India. if i need support im on the line with a real person normally instantly.

    the open Pandora is meant as a gaming umpc not a hand held. it can run a psx emu for the guy who said it cant. they where going to use the atom prosser but found the arm cortex to give them a much better battery life why then can get 10 hrs. and the cortex is a pretty fast prosser on its own. the powervr they are using does have oss drivers.the entire platform is oss. this umpc runs a full blown linux distro desined for it with touch screen support. so its a pocket sized pc that can game not a ds. its specks i will admit are kinda dated being it took them 2 years to get it out the door. but its still a full fledged pocket pc with gaming abiltys.

    unions are still needed but not for everyone. your right company's like gm let there unions get out of control and where paying there workers insane wages like 40$ a hr. sometimes its best to let them strike and hire replacements then it is to agree of wages that are just unreasonable. but company's like walmart desperately need a union to get involved with there company to force them to pay there employees living wage and offer health insurance they can afford. and your correct abought Toyota they pay there employees good wages and offer good health care somewhere around 13 to 15$ a hr. so Toyota needs no union and i would be angry with any greedy fuck who says they do.

    they destroyed windows in the server world. its a different ballgame in the desktop world being the avg joe cares less what hes running as long as it does everything he whats it to do. if you have him a linux box he would use it until it didn't do something he wanted it to do or didn't run his favorite app/game. and thats where the problem lies. wile in 90% of the cases linux has its own style of the app he whats its not the one he wanted. and well for games thats due to devs glued to directx rather then using opengl.

    the ipads nice but its no netbook. netbook sales have drooped not due to the ipad but there prices have risen over the years. you can pretty much get a low end laptop for the netbook prices these days and have alot more power. netbooks started out as cheap laptops and wile there prices rose laptop prices fell. when netbook makers go back to making them cheaper then laptops there sales will go up again. same goes for the ipad its priced around the same as a netbook. so what is the custmer going to go with. when auses makes another 199$ eee with a atom dule core i bet it will couse another surge in sales..

    well the only thing the sales guy can do is inform mommy this is a m rated game. if mommy doesn't care then there is no reason to deny the sale. as long as the person buying the game meets the age regs. and trust me having worked in sales i can tell you i think i only had 1 instance where my warning had any effect. 99% of the time they simply do not care. but im not one to believe in blocking life to kids anyways.
