  1. Re:Antenna? on Wi-Fi In a SIM Card · · Score: 1

    It doesn't have to be straight... Just imagine, if you will, a 2cm long antenna with a 90 degree right turn in it every 0.5cm. I'm pretty sure that would fit in a SIM.

    1. Euro ~= Dollar so about $100,000 is about 100,000€. If you have that much cash, the currency rate won't bother you much.

    I think you misread me.

    0% income tax is good for individuals. If you can afford to live there.

    Hmmm, I was going to tear you an new one crying BS on high taxes & unemployment (the US & EU have essentially the same unemployment)...then I saw why everyone wants to claim residence in Monaco.

    I've always said...Windows is cheaper if your time is worth nothing. Wipe & reinstall is your wasted time. That and fighting all those viruses/malware/spyware/etc.

    Macs aren't perfect, but you spend a LOT less time trying to make & keep your system secure.

    The one question Adobe can't answer about this:

    Why is it that VLC can play a FLW video fine with good (ie low) CPU usage but Adobe can't?

    And it shows that Adobe is lying.

    TV sucks. Putting it through a flash player doesn't make it any better.

    What the hell is it with you flash boys?

    The multitasking I get - it would make it so much better as a useful appliance/netbook/superTouch.

    But really why the hell should most people care about flash? So I can't play Bloons Tower Defender 4, or some other stupid game. Give me a real reason to need flash. My guess is whatever your reason, there's already an app for that.

    I have <a href="http://rentzsch.github.com/clicktoflash/">click-to-flash</a> installed on my system. I love having nice grey boxes instead of ads, videos, etc. I love having the *control* to see them if I want and not if the advertiser wants me to.

    That's fine if you like flash, but not everyone likes or even wants it.

    I read the first two sentences of your comment and went:

    Not sure why you didn't. Seems logical. Though I seriously doubt there will be a keyboard+mouse+charger+monitor dock for a few years, if ever. It's just not Apple's style.
