    Except contractors were used for this. The same one that screwed up the UK's project.

    The problem with the web site has to do with the contractor that built it. Contractors screwed up big surprise

    So web sites optimized for tablet viewing are considered cutting edge...wow...nobody said script kiddies were smart....

  7. Nice job Rpublicans on U.S. Government: Sorry, We're Closed · · Score: 1

    So when Bush was president, how many time did the democrats shutdown the fed government? Zero. With Obama president, the republicans have shutdown the government twice! Nice....

  8. Re:Helium is not scarce at all on Congress Reaches Agreement ... On Helium · · Score: 1

    Try lobbied price. The private sector has lobbied Congress to keep the low prices. The problem is with the private sector unwilling to give up their cheap supply.

  9. Re:C&EN article about it: on Congress Reaches Agreement ... On Helium · · Score: 1

    Suddenly? The Federal government for decades has told industry the Federal government is pulling out of the helium business. The private sector has sat on its hands and done nothing. Instead they lobby the Federal government to maintain the helium reserve and continue to sell it at artificially low prices.

    FYI the helium reserve that the Fed maintains will only last another 3-5 years.

    Yeah because women aren't persecuted in Saudi Arabia...oh wait....

    THANK YOU! Why is that so hard for people to understand.

  12. Re:Who do people still use PayPal high value accou on PayPal Freezes MailPile's Account · · Score: 1

    I think you answered your own question. You don't give them banking information. A credit card on the other hand would be much better.

  13. Re:Change is hard on Users Revolt Over Yahoo Groups Update · · Score: 1

    Your asinine comment still hasn't explained why Yahoo's change was needed or what new features it brings that the old one did not have that people wanted. Speaking as a Yahoo fantasy sports league commissioner, the new interface adds no new features over the one they had last year but certainly makes it harder to use.

  14. Re:Change is hard on Users Revolt Over Yahoo Groups Update · · Score: 1

    Yeah because the fantasy leagues were using the same forum software *eye roll* - moron.

  15. Re:Lesson not learned on Users Revolt Over Yahoo Groups Update · · Score: 0

    Hey ass-hole. I run a Fantasy League too and think the new interface fucking sucks. NOBODY in the league likes it. The display is very distracting and hard to read. It did not need an update. At the very least, they should allow you to go back to the old design because all this is is a skin change.

  16. Re:Beware of Microsofties bearing gifts on Official: Microsoft To Acquire Nokia Devices and Services Business · · Score: 3, Insightful

    OK Potsy... People still supported Nokia - they had a huge market. Killing off their OSs for Windows effectively killed their market - check what market analysts were saying at the time. Feature phones make alot of money and are stepping stone to smartphones.

    Yeah putting all your eggs in one basket was a winning strategy...

    Considering Elop successfully tanked Nokia's stock, I would say mission accomplished.

    THANK YOU! Look at JCPenny. Brought in a new CEO to implement a change and projected to lose money and continued to lose money and after a year of losing money, he was fired. That's one freaking year! You think investors are going to last that long?

  20. Re:I suspect he's wrong. on Neil deGrasse Tyson Says Private Business Will Not Open the Space Frontier · · Score: 2

    No, he's saying that a corporation operates on profit. Government does not. Space exploration costs alot of money. Corporations would need to see return on their investment now or shareholders will revolt. In today's economic climate, private space exploration WILL NOT HAPPEN. If you actually followed business news you'd understand that.

    Because it costs too much. Once you've grasped that, you will understand.
