  1. Re:Geez, I'm scared now! on Security Guards, Alarm Companies Object to Australia's National Fiber Network · · Score: 2, Funny

    Some of us, you know, actually leave the house. That is what most people use alarms for. Most people don't need a gun to defend themselves in Australia, they are not that weak.

    Don't forget your anti-virus and spamware programs.

    No, you are wrong. It is better to remove flash from the face of the earth, which is what Apple wants to do. And they are succeeding, at least in the fact that a lot more places are supporting HTML5 video for the ipad.

  4. Re:Is that a non-standard connector? on Samsung Shows Off Galaxy Tab, Android Allegiance · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That is because you are an idiot. Two connectors are a bad things for lots of reasons, what do you do when they are both plugged in, you need to handle two different sorts of charging, you need more room on a tiny device, people get confused.

    That is just a few quick reasons, try using your brain, and you might think of some yourself.

    You realise that they are giving you cookies, not stealing cookies from the cookie jar. This is a good thing, the more the better.

    Do you consider a comment on Slashdot to be equivalent to a news report from a tv show or newspaper, or journalist twitter feed?

    If you can't see the difference, then you are the problem.

  7. Re:It's always refreshing on Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ · · Score: 1

    True, but this only happened for a short period of time. After the time it was necessary to have so many kids, to have a few survive, due to early deaths. And before the time when people figured this out.

    You are right, one person over 40 has one job at a startup. This totally disproves the point, congratulations.

    This is the way science and statistics work in the mind of the religious.

    Not saying that I agree with the ageism debate here, but it is probably true, for a number of reasons.

  9. Re:Why really does Apple behave this way? on iPhone App In App Store Limbo Open Sourced · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You are right, but your two points are just stupid.

    The reason is that most people are not affected by these problems affecting developers. A casual user isn't out screaming for this app. There are already 250,000 apps in the app store, I think most people are happy with that.

    Apple products are purchased because they are great devices, designed well, fantastic support, easy to use. They cost a bit more, but most people do not mind paying a bit more for a better device. Not everyone, plenty of people love shopping at Walmart getting the cheapest stuff they can.

    Why you people can not understand this just makes you sound and look stupid.

    Or just get an iPad or wait for the android tablets to come out. It is not like you are going to be doing much typing, surely?

    YOU are wrong, it is the real world in Australia. You go talk to the "aussie battlers", or most families with kids and a job. They want these protections on the internet. They want the government to arrest anyone who looks like a terrorist, or comes in on a boat. They don't care about liberties, as long as they get there foxtel and rugby.

    You are a moron and a fool.

    Yes, they produced huge laptops, but they never stopped making small laptops. You could always get laptops with 13" screens, from a variety of manufacturers. Good ones from IBM, Toshiba, and shit ones from Sony, HP, Dell even.

    The only advantage netbooks bought was that they were too small for adults, and cheap.

  18. Re:WP7 Connect Program on Windows Phone 7 Gaming and Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    Ok, nice massage of the numbers.

    You are right, WP7 has a big advantage in that you can target Windows and Xbox, but still this market is smaller than the iPhone.

    And don't forget to include all the touch devices, and iPads as well, with those dodgy iphone numbers you pulled out of your arse.

    On top of that, Apple users are more likely to actually buy stuff, which hasn't proved the same for android users, and with WP7 we will have to wait and see.

    Can tell you are a windows developer, by the fantastic names of those folders. Microsoft all the way for you, isn't it? Despite the many incredibly powerful phones out there already.

    I feel sorry for you, I look forward to the phone, but I have been trapped in a Microsoft shop before. Very sad.

    Yes, my friend had a beer, so I got a beer as well, obviously I am tied to him forever now, until one of use kills themselves, and the other must obviously follow.

    You use the same argument my 15yo niece uses, congrats.

    You don't even need to do a complete wipe, just upgrade, and switch off some of the indexing. This is what I did, and it works very well, very snappy indeed. Not so much before I switched off the indexing.

    Yes, you should not have to do this, bad Apple. And for a 3G owner, there is no big reason to get 4. But does work, is stable, and is quite fast.

    Or they can get a case, which is what they would do. It could have a built in battery.

    This is how the use devices currently over there, for sniper assistance and such.

    Ha ha ha ha, have you ever tried typing on one of those keyboards with gloves on? Do not be ridiculous. Would be easier to get a coating on your gloves to work on a touch screen, and have the app present nice big buttons, or support gestures.

    Changeable battery can be good or bad, and the iPhone supports changeable batteries with an external case.

    Not sure locking mechanism is that important but hey, maybe it is.

    Who cares how they look?

  24. Re:Android on iPhone vs. Android Battle Goes To Afghanistan · · Score: 0

    Simple just get a holder for the iPhone which accepts this battery, and charges the device at the same time. I am sure they will come with holders anyway, whichever device they get, to ruggedize the devices. There are already plenty of cases outthere that include a built in battery.

    This is not an issue. Custom ROMs maybe, but not this.

    What a load of shit.

    Your simplified view of the world betrays your inability to understand complex matters.

    The Kyoto treaty and treaties like it is how the world works. Sure, we would all prefer to have some hard and fast laws to reduce pollution, but in the real world, there is no world government to create and enforce these laws. So we develop treaties to abide by.

    And of course a country can leave at any time, that is the way the world works? These countries are their own sovereign entities, they control themselves. Once again, there is no world government.

    Kyoto is the only way to get the world to change, as weak as it is. You can't organize all the countries of the world in any other way.
