  3. Re:Great...what if you're without your phone? on Google Adds Two-Factor Authentication To Gmail · · Score: 1

    The point is, the people that want the extra security can enable it and authenticate with their phone, and those that want to continue business as usual can do so.

    Does this mean my bank shouldn't have a banking app for a smartphone because not everyone owns one? Maybe walmart shouldn't do any business on the internet, because some people don't have internet access?

    Your argument is flawed, sir.

    Yea, clearly success in America is promising things you can't deliver!

  8. Re:Wash, cycle, repeat on Angry Birds and Parabolic Instinct In Humans · · Score: 1

    Disagree. I've done both; learning to play a guitar well is much harder then guitar hero. Guitar hero is a lark that lasts a few months, musicianship is a lifelong persuit.

    Guitar hero, however, is WAYYY more fun then Simon.

    Or, rather then subject myself to the struggle that is the recording industry, with sub-single-digit success percentages, i can come home from working at my real job and play video games. It's fun. Relax.

    In my opinion, we need to get rid of all the dark sarcasm that exists in the classroom...

  24. Re:open vs closed on Woz Says Android Will Dominate · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't know about ChromeOS, but Meego and Jolicloud are both glibc based...they will run any software that runs on Ubuntu or Suse or whatever. Android will require a (somewhat trivial, but still) port. that's the only distinction i'm trying to highlight here.

  25. Re:open vs closed on Woz Says Android Will Dominate · · Score: 2, Informative

    i said userspace, not user interface. Android is not binary compatable with desktop linux (even desktop linux that has been ported to whatever hardware you happen to be running android on). that's the only point i was trying to make.

    Android is not linux just like OSX is not BSD.
