  9. Re:It's very possible on Steve Jobs Was Wrong About Touchscreen Laptops · · Score: 2

    Not really. Some applications (e.g.Sygic GPS navigation) are written in C++ and only the GUI is written in Java, so you cannot just run the same apk on different platforms.

    When I put your phone into my pocket, it automatically cleans itself. I do not do that with my laptop.

    Once the postman starts to publish a blog about his route will full name, address and a list of hair-loss products you buy, and rant about any farting sound heard while near your house, then you might have a problem. Each piece of data in itself is not a threat to your privacy as long as the owner acts within the boundaries implicitly or explicitly granted by you. When all this semi-public data is interlinked and published without consent or control your privacy is severely threatened. If I spend one hour in San Marco square I will become a part of hundreds of photos, and all those people should be free to upload the pictures and even tag me as "some random guy in San Marco square". When they tag me as "my real name, in San Marco square, on August 4 2011" I will have a huge issue with it.

    Then fight the system using the system itself. Upload a lot of your photos and tag them in a completely random way.

  22. The first? on Kepler Spacecraft Finds System With Multiple Planets Transiting the Star · · Score: 1

    The first? I thought, that the Solar system was the first.

  23. Re:How is this even legal? on Droid X Self-Destructs If You Try To Mod · · Score: 1

    Bricking your phone, while an asshole move, isn't actually dangerous.

    Unless you need to call 911 in emergency - would they be liable in such a case?

  24. Re:More details and downloadable archive on Claimed Proof That UNIX Code Was Copied Into Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    God is real, unless explicitly declared as integer.
