  1. We have phone lines on Can Google Save Us From Slow Internet · · Score: 1

    All we have are phone lines so it is either dialup or costly cellular. AT&T won't put a DSL station anywhere near us. I think that if a neighborhood has phone lines then AT&T should be required to push DSL out to them.

    We have to pay over $100 a month for two cellular modems with 5GB limits so that means no video streaming or online game playing. I went from fiber to this. At least give us DSL. I love living in the country side but if there is a phone there should be DSL at the very least.

  2. 2 weeks? on Verizon Employees End Strike · · Score: 2

    That is not enough to make a company listen to you.

  3. Did he open it? on HP TouchPad To Be Liquidated At Fire Sale Prices · · Score: 1

    So I need to know if Hugh Pickens opened the tablet. If so his only options are to either keep it at the $400 price tag or to return it at a 15%-20% restocking fee per Best Buys computers return poicy on opened items. LMAO!

    Somebody please find out!

    Where is the unlike vote for this?

  6. So? on T-Mobile Joins the Capped Data Bandwagon · · Score: 3, Informative

    They are bought by AT&T. It was going to happen sooner or later. It just turns out that it is sooner rather than later.

  7. Re:Not that simple on Using Fractal Interconnects To Improve Electronic Eyes · · Score: 1

    LMAO!

  8. Re:A few rough edges on Major Release of Miro Aims to Compete With iTunes · · Score: 2

    I agree. I feel that just because it is open source we are expected to praise it. The truth is that open source is not the solution to everything.

  9. Re:It's all about sales on Users Want Matte LCDs While Glossy Screens Dominate · · Score: 1

    You really nailed it. I always wondered why people purchased glossy screens but that makes total and complete sense.

  10. Of course on Fable III Dev: Used Game Sales More Costly Than Piracy · · Score: 1

    A retailer gets the used game sale money and the developer gets nothing unless they have DLC for sale.

  11. Re:Hardly surprising on Apple Support Forums Suggest Malware Explosion · · Score: 1

    Don't worry about Linux becoming popular. It is non plug and pary so the sheeple will never use it or learn to use it.

  12. Re:There are only 6 cities on Six Cities Named For Vehicle2Vehicle Communications Trial · · Score: 1

    Thank you. I actually had to skim the FA. At least others will not need to now. =)

  13. Well on Social Influence and the Wisdom of Crowd Effect · · Score: 4, Insightful

    duh?

    Just look at Facebook.

  14. Re:Why make them like us? on Robots Successfully Invent Their Own Language · · Score: 0

    Yeah who knows. I am just not really hopeful about people even being able to do anything about this. Time will tell. I will probably be 70 by the time this happens so I won't be able to fight. LOL

    Or one of Japan's enemies.

  17. Re:Why make them like us? on Robots Successfully Invent Their Own Language · · Score: 0

    No I did not. Think about it though for a little more. They will make a few robots that will replace some workers. People will lose jobs. With fewer people working where will the money for socialism come from? I do not know about you but I do not have any faith that the wealthy will pay for socialism. If that was the case then it would already be like that. So people lose jobs and starve out. More robots will be made and more people will lose jobs. The poor will become less and less. The middle class will be less and less. More robots and less people. I am just not optimistic about socialism in this scenario. There would be nothing in it for the wealthy. So few will inherit the Earth. Robots will make more robots and you will not need humans for anything other than procreation.

  18. Re:Why make them like us? on Robots Successfully Invent Their Own Language · · Score: 0

    Only the wealthy will have robots and then there won't be a need for most humans. The human population will dwindle.

  19. If you cannot beat them on Think I'm Not American? Pass the Hamburgers. · · Score: 0

    eat their fatty foods! =)

  23. Re:Let's give away our personal info again!! on Sony To Offer Free Identity Theft Monitoring · · Score: 0

    The redhead is all I need

  24. I noticed this on The Insidious Creep of Latency Hell · · Score: 2

    I thought things were supposed to get faster with newer technology but it does indeed look like the newer devices run slower becuase of bloated apps and firmware. Maybe this has to do with programming being "bestshored" =D nowadays.

  25. Cradlepoint? on Ask Slashdot: How To Monitor Your Own Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 0

    I am using a Cradle point with two cellular modems connected to it for load balancing. One is a Verizon modem with 10GB a month cap and the other is an AT&T with 5GB a month cap. I don't trust them and need to know how much I am really using. I have not been able to see a good way to find this information out. Do any of you have any ideas?
