  5. Re:A bunch of nuns? on Autonomous Car Ethics: If a Crash Is Unavoidable, What Does It Hit? · · Score: 1

    Will not fix. It's a feature!

  6. Re:Better to act predictably? on Autonomous Car Ethics: If a Crash Is Unavoidable, What Does It Hit? · · Score: 1

    Slamming breaks would still result rear cars to crash too. :P

  7. Re:What Level 3 can do on Internet Transit Provider Claims ISPs Deliberately Allow Port Congestion · · Score: 1

    It's not just Comcast. TWC too, but then TWC is being taken over by them. Bah. We seriously need competitions in each area. :(

  8. Re:You know what worked better for me then longhan on Students Remember Lectures Better Taking Notes Longhand Than Using Laptops · · Score: 1

    For me, I forget easily so I need something recorded. Same for taking notes. :(

  9. Not cheap enough to me. on The Feature Phone Is Dead: Long Live the 'Basic Smartphone' · · Score: 1

    Since I rarely use the mobile phones (don't even own one) and rarely go out (always use Internet indoor), it would be nice to have a backup Internet connection for my computers. I just don't want to pay a lot for something I would use rarely (a few times per year) and do want fast speeds and very high caps (unlimited preferred). Hence why I still use dial-up for $9.95 per month that has e-mails, usenet (binaries too), plenty of POPs, etc.

  10. What prices? on SanDisk Announces 4TB SSD, Plans For 8TB Next Year · · Score: 1

    Are huge SSDs cheap enough as old fashion huge HDDs?

  11. Re:Again a clueless article... on iOS 7 Update Silently Removes Encryption For Email Attachments · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Apple have access to these locked phones for law enforcement to request with warrants?

    Or the whole thing to be sure nothing is bad.

  13. Re:The irony? on XP Systems Getting Emergency IE Zero Day Patch · · Score: 1

    Is IE still used to download and install through Automatic Updates?

  14. Re:Pretty soon we'll all have exactly two choices on WSJ Reports AT&T May Be Eying a $40B DirecTV Acquisition · · Score: 1

    For Internet, I only have one fast affordable one: Cable. No DSL, fiber, etc. I can go back to dial-up, satellite, etc. but why?

  15. Re:Yes. on To Save the Internet We Need To Own the Means of Distribution · · Score: 1

    Interesting. I wonder what makes it free on cellular and not free on cables.

  18. Re:Not news. Netflix bought net connection like us on Netflix Confirms Deal For Access To Verizon's Network · · Score: 1

    "... At that point, Verizon would suddenly improve its peeing with Netflix..." -- Eww, peeing? :)

  19. Re:Yes. on To Save the Internet We Need To Own the Means of Distribution · · Score: 1

    Why do cable companies still charge E911 fees for their phone services?

  20. What about Casio Data Bank type of watches? on Japanese and Swiss Watchmakers Scoff At Smartwatches · · Score: 1

    I still wear and use Casio Data Bank (DB) 150 watch since I don't use or want a smartphone and mobile phone (subscriptions are lame too). I did try a 1G iPod Touch, but it was too big, heavy, and annoying. I want something tiny and light for a smartwatch. Do any exist? Casio doesn't make DBs anymore. :(

  21. Re:Oculus rift: mantis simulator on Scientists Give Praying Mantises Tiny 3D Glasses · · Score: 1

  22. Re:ET's not that bad. on E.T. Found In New Mexico Landfill · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When I was a callow ant, I got this game for Christmas from my parents IIRC. I was all :) to get this game because I enjoyed the movie in the theater. I never understood how to play it like most people. My older friend did and told me how. It wasn't too bad. Not a great game. There are worse games like these: http://www.deafsparrow.com/201... ...

    They talked about Gary briefly. I don't re(member/call) which one(s) had that discussion. Just watch/listen to all of them if you were a fan of Computer Chronicles like me. ;)
