    > android is samsung

    yeah, because that does not change... as it wasn't HTC a year ago, until samsung showed up with slighter less bad quality phones.

    Nokia can totally show up tomorrow with slighter less bad quality phones than samsung and became synonymous with android.

  7. Re:How about idle?? on AMD FX-8350 Review: Does Piledriver Fix Bulldozer's Flaws? · · Score: 1

    > noise
    that's because you put your $3000 parts into a $15 case that you've been reusing for 27 years...

    i did that too. until 3 years ago i got an antec case for almost 200, a massive cooler and several high end larger fans, all obscenely priced --- and moved to raid0 instead of 6 :(

    it's now totally silent. and i live in a place where it makes 80F and i don't like A/C

  11. wtf is a digital archery contest? on ICANN To Replace 'Digital Archery' Program With Raffle · · Score: 1

    clicked all the article links and they all talk like everyone know what it means. Also google search only link to articles saying icann is not using whatever it is. probably the very same article that must have came here trhu reuters or some other.

    The only link that does not appear to be that same article is this one http://www.digitalarcheryexperts.com/
    but it appears to be the destination of clicks on those 'hit the monkey' banners from the 90s so i will not take it seriously.

  12. Re:Yeah but... on Gas Prices Jump; California Hardest Hit · · Score: 1

    you missed the point entirely. you'd need a heat map NOT of gas prices, but of price delta.

    I doubt most of what you told us.

    car lane "cameras" are dumb sensors last time I checked (long time ago I confess)

  15. no you can't on Nokia Keeps Quietly Mapping The World · · Score: 1

    google maps only allow offline maps in certain locations.

    useless when you are in said locations because they all have coverage.

    go overseas or to desert places and you get a nice warning about offline maps not being available.

  16. Re:Sorry but... on Stolen Maple Syrup Found and Returned To Strategic Reserve · · Score: 1

    you sir, have no idea how markets work.

    read how the gov control corn prices and such, and you will understand how canada probably does the same with maple syrup.

    stockpiles controls price. they create scarcity or offer depending on the market. but the option for both are the same after you have the stockpile.

    I don't think costco ever had it.

    I think it's only a case of you not finding the smal print saying it's actually corn sugar. they keep getting smaller and smaller.

    the demo is exactly like webOS.... except in webOS it looks good, and is useful.

    the demo fells kinda retarted showing the side apps instead of giving the full screen to the app... also, dragging in from the bottom of the screen to enter "window selection mode" instead of dozen fingers gesture...

  20. Re:Man on Bitcoin Exchange BitFloor Says It Will Replace Stolen Coins · · Score: 1

    As someone who worked for firms working on bank security, i call tell you they remain silent about 100% of their electronic breaches and cover the money in silence. The reasoning is that lower accounts are their milking cow now, and news of some measly 200,000 robbed by electronic means (they lose more than that per day), while insignificant to the bank, would draw away those lesser accounts to whom 200,000 is a fortune. and draw away too many of the lesser accounts and the bank starts to be in real problem.

    besides those in-the-dark screw ups, you also have the public ones. more recently bank of america showing other peoples each other account instead of their own and such.

    That's the most dumb argument i've ever heard:

    case A: guys get his 5yr old notebook, install linux, wants everything to work

    case B: guys spends $9,000 on the base mode of a new mac book, osx just works.

    give me a break! how about this experiement:

    case C: guys get his 5yr old notebook, install osx... can't even start installer.

    case D: guys spends $2,000 on the latest thinkpad T series, install linux, linux just works. and does the same as the 9k macbook

  25. smart ploy! on Intel Says Clover Trail Atom CPU Won't Work With Linux · · Score: 1, Interesting

    They tried building their own Linux distro. It sucked!

    They tried giving docs and nobody cared.

    They tried writing drivers themselves and again they sucked.

    So now they are double daring every developer saying win8 is technically better than anything they coded
