  1. Re:These guys are actually innovating on Tesla Will Discontinue the Roadster · · Score: 1

    They are stopping production of the roadster sooner than they planned for one reason: Lotus stopped selling their version over here too. It doesn't pass new airbag safety requirements, so they won't be able to use the body either. You can bet they would have liked to keep selling them but it is out of their hands at this point.

  2. Re:Stocks? on How Apple Orchestrates Controlled Leaks, and Why · · Score: 1

    I would hope someone keeps track of this. And I wonder how an ex-exec could even say something like this unless it too is a "leak". I remember hearing Leo Laporte talk about his suspicions of the WSJ being an official leak.

  3. Re:Won't be too long before we are all on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 1

    It was the end of the last great time war.

  4. Re:How funny on Bell's Own Data Exposes P2P As a Red Herring · · Score: 1

    How do we know that those traffic boxes aren't the ones causing the dropped cells?

  5. Re:I'm not your friend, buddy! on Canadians Organizing a Rally For Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    He is stuck with Rogers on the cable side, so should he switch to DSL which is throttled? Where is the choice?

  6. Re:What he meant... on SCO's McBride Testifies "Linux Is a copy of UNIX" · · Score: 1

    I guess they threw all theirs out years ago.

  7. Re:There's more Linux books than Unix books on SCO's McBride Testifies "Linux Is a copy of UNIX" · · Score: 1

    I guess he doesn't count programming books in all those languages that can run on anything?

  8. Re:Just nationalize it... on Bell Canada's Misinformation About Throttling · · Score: 1

    This isn't required... The CRTC already has rules that would require Bell Canada to provide other ISPs with last mile access, since there is no viable competitive infrastructure options available. Bell Canada must also provide that last mile at cost to the ISPs as per the CRTC regulations. While Bell is keeping everyone busy with the throttling issue, they are going to court to get tariff 5410/20 overruled as they claim there is enough competition and they should be allowed to charge fair market price.
  9. Re:Shocked and appalled on Bell Canada's Misinformation About Throttling · · Score: 1

    The problem is that any use of DPI is a problem to all. VOIP, VPN and gaming gets caught up in this. And if the majority of people don't get excited about these kind of things, then what is stopping the telcos from doing more to our connection. Replace ads in websites? throttle YouTube? How about blocking sites/services that compete with their own? Start getting excited!

  10. Re:Small ISPs not entirely blameless... on Bell Canada's Misinformation About Throttling · · Score: 2, Informative

    This GAS (Gateway Access service) access is the part that is regulated by the CRTC (tariff 5410). It is the term for "last mile aceess". Any DSL provider uses this service from the incumbent telco. From there they need backhaul bandwidth to their own Internet peering.

  11. Re:Why the License on Texas Family 'Sues Creative Commons' · · Score: 1

    Why not sue Flickr because it allowed him to choose a CC license instead of the default standard copyright?

  12. Re:Indeed... on RIAA Wants Agreements to Stay Secret · · Score: 1

    I was thinking they thought of Mrs. Lindor as a mint, wafer thin.

  13. ...but the Go Daddy girl did ok. on Linux (Car) Crashes At Indy 500 · · Score: 1

    The Linux car might not have faired well, but the Go Daddy girl came in 8th. http://www.danicaracing.com/

    And I'd much rather see her on the track.

  14. Re:ORly? on Microsoft Locking Out Anti-Virus Makers? · · Score: 1

    They click yes until it is tech support trying to get them to click yes. Then they click on everythng but yes.

  15. Makes sense to me on Worst Tech CEOs Earn the Most Money · · Score: 1

    If a company is doing that bad, then a lot of other factors are at play. A board of directors that don't know enough to oust the CEO. Inefective CIO's, CFO's COO's all add up to a ship with no rudder.

  16. Re:Hmmm, interesting on Bacterial DVD Holds 50TB · · Score: 1

    Well, I'd guess that it would start making demands before it would let you read the data.

  17. Check the jars on Undisturbed Tomb found in the Valley of the Kings · · Score: 4, Funny

    I hope someone remembers to check those "coptic storage jars" for Gao'uld symbiotes.

  18. Re:Length==1 on WMF Vulnerability is an Intentional Backdoor? · · Score: 1

    Correct, the key would be something complex, like 1,2,3,4.

  19. Re:US Government dependence of foreign corporation on Feds Enter Blackberry Fray · · Score: 1

    If this goes through, I hope RIM would bring up a lawsuit under NAFTA Regulations. I was under the impression they can't limit a foreign company from making profits.

    For example, the transportation world has interstating laws limit a foreign investor from making a profit. This sounds similiar.

  20. Re:And in other news ... on SCO Demands Linux 2.7 Information · · Score: 1

    His real name is John Connor of course.

    Just don't call them Replicators.

    Energon cubes?

    And don't forget about people with shellfish allergies.

    Maybe they could package them with a free EpiPen.

  24. Re:Scotty, we... need... more... power! on NASA to Research Antimatter Rocket · · Score: 1

    Sure, but we still need people with the right genetic markers to operate it.

    ... we're excited about an announcement of a trailer for a film. Hot diggity, it's that good.
    I can't wait for the BBspot review!
