    well then i guess it must be time to set up an experimental high volume DNS system and you can volunteer to help stress test it. if an uninvolved third party were to blindly hijack said connection the negative effects on their infrastructure would be entirely their fault seeing as they chose to hijack your connection.

    yet again, "personal responsibility" is nothing more than a gimme for corporations to shirk any and all of their responsibility.

  3. Re:Carriers aren't the real target on New Russian Weapon Hides In Shipping Container · · Score: 1

    you would be better off disguising some auto loading artillery as containers for an attack on something as immobile as a city. artillery is cheap and shells are really cheap

  4. Re:Taking out capital ships? on New Russian Weapon Hides In Shipping Container · · Score: 1

    so if the 'rabs are at fault here, why is that israel kills something around 40 times as many children as the Palestinians do?

    israel knows that it only takes a few seconds for a rocket crew to shoot and get out of the area, and yet they continue to deliver airstrikes 5 minutes after a launch, guaranteed to blow the hell out of any civilians in the area, but the attackers are long gone.

    but blowing up an apartment building is ok because some guys stopped their truck in the parking lot to fire a 22 lb rocket 9assuming it was a qassam 3, the original design carried a 1 lb payload, and the 2 carried a 10-15 lb payload.

    the incidence of lunatics getting their hands on high multi-million dollar weapons systems is also low, and terrorists can do their thing without spending anywhere near that much money. How much did a couple of airline tickets, a little bit of flight school, and some box cutters cost again?

    it looks to me like they decided atthe last minute that the interface flying around like in the ad was kinda shitty when you are finished with your 1st hour "play with it" phase and want to use the damn thing. granted i have not bought a nokia in a very long time, but that is what i like about them, i have hadmy current nokia 1100 since very early 2005, 5 years later i am strongly considering buying a new $5 faceplate and maybe a new $50 battery. before that i had owned a 5185i from 2001-2005, i switched phones due to changing carriers

    if apple told verizon that, they would tell apple where they can shove their iPhone. Verizon didn't spend all that money on ads attacking the iPhone just to look like a bunch of stooges a few months later.

  9. Re:This is why.... on No Verizon Partnership For Google's Nexus One · · Score: 1

    because verizon is "all about the network" they could have spent their money switching to GSM, but instead they spend their money expanding and upgrading their network, as a result, just like in their ads, they have hands down the best nationwide coverage of any carrier.

    I don't currently have a verizon phone, but when i did back around 2002-2005 there was almost nowhere i could go and not get coverage.

    so how exactly does having the suicide bombers set off their bomb in a crowded security terminal help anything?

    just admit it, the post-9/11 security changes have been pointless security theater meant to placate the pants-shitters rather than prevent actual attacks.
