  1. Strategy on RIM CEO On What Went Wrong · · Score: 1

    If RIM wants to take back the smartphone market they should use their existing managed architecture for a new purpose: Smartphones for families that allow BES control and monitoring of children's phones by parents, combine this with making BB phones available for prepaid accounts (in addition allow people to buy their BB service separately (something really cheap, like 5 bucks a month or less) from their mobile and data so their @blackberry email, BB Messenger, server assisted web browser, etc. still work)

    if they are able to capture the bottom end of the smartphone market they can use their best liked services (BB Messenger, push email) to start rolling up the rest of the market.

    despite their weak performance at the top end of devices, compare a cheap blackberry to a cheap android, blackberry comes out way ahead on battery life, responsiveness, and UI, in addition their server assisted web browsing saves a lot of bandwidth for users with limited amounts of transfer (I am on my Bold 9700 all the time and rarely pass the 75% mark on my 200 megabyte plan)

    sounds like they were buying their own bandwidth but just too dumb to figure out how to use it.

  3. Re:It gets old--and so do we on Ask Slashdot: Old Dogs vs. New Technology? · · Score: 1

    I'm not that old but these days whenever I spec out a new machine I have to start with the research to see what are the current generations of. CPU, GPU, power supply types, speed numbers to look at on motherboards (is 16x PCI sweet or cheap shit?) What is the current type of system ram, what are good speeds and timing ratings etc.

    I still miss ATA cables because I could wire up a HDD and CDRW from behind by feel alone, Granted SATA is better in just about every way possible and I know this, but still I miss the old familiarity of 80 fragile ( and 1 bent ) pins

  5. Re:Free Speech on Verizon Claims Net Neutrality Violates Their Free Speech Rights · · Score: 1

    Enforcing net neutrality would actually be better off in the hands of the FTC, in the form of massive actions against anyone violating net neutrality pressing criminal and civil cases for fraud, false advertisement, etc. Based on the customers reasonable expectation that they are getting Internet when they pay for Internet, and not some distorted private network.

  9. Re:Friends of Eclipse on The 'Everyone Gets the Source Code, Donations Get You Binaries' Software Model · · Score: 1

    it's not a big benefit, because to make it a big benefit they would have to hold out on something to regular users. instead it's a nice little perk and it gives donors who use social media a lot a chance to blog/tweet about things before the deluge and so have some measure of exclusivity

  10. Re:I'm for it. on Senator Pushes For Tougher H-1B Enforcement · · Score: 1

    if they want to move design and engineering to places with a UMADBRO? attitude towards industrial espionage so huwai can have a clone of their product out before the release date, have fun with that.

  11. Re:I'm for it. on Senator Pushes For Tougher H-1B Enforcement · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Se we should let the corporations fuck us out of fear that they will fuck us harder?

    We need to deglobalize the economy as the people do not see any of the advantages, IP laws allow companies to sell for low prices overseas but restrict imports

    Build import tariffs in such a way as to severely penalize production in places where environmental and or worker safety laws are lax, make importing profits from overseas holdings difficult as well if those overseas holdings do business, directly or indirectly, in the US.

  13. Re:Self serving on Bill Gates Says Tablets Aren't Much Help In Education · · Score: 1

    How is telling the truth self serving or disingenuous?

    tablets are a shit idea for education, the kids will just play games and trade porn with them

    PC's are also a shit idea for education, except for typing courses and the school library there should not be computers in classrooms, I remember we had computers back when I was in 4th grade( 1994 ) We didn't learn on them, we fucked around on them and there was an edutainment thing on there but it really wasn't anything that a Laserdisc couldn't do for the whole class.

    Get the computers and shit out of our classrooms, and teach the kids readin' an 'ritin' an 'rithmatic

    ADA requires REASONABLE accommodation, if the CC data costs more to license that would not be a reasonable accomodation, if the CC data cannot synchronize properly with existing video streaming systems it would not be a reasonable accommodation

    technically those are clickers, but yea they are harder to detect just looking at data going to the server, except if you probe for them. send a very brief incorrect set of data indicating a head in the crosshairs, like one or two frames, if bullets come out instantly, drop the banhammer.
