  1. I know there are alternatives, but none can match up against Visio.

  2. Re:Due to RBI regulations on Paypal Reverses Payments Made To Indians · · Score: 1

    Sounds crazy, until you think about it, and then you realize it is crazy!

  3. Re:Due to RBI regulations on Paypal Reverses Payments Made To Indians · · Score: 1

    Not really... What really happens is that the $10,000 that is loaned out, gets deposited into another bank account somewhere, and is used as reserve on another $100,000 in loans, etc, etc... So even when the originally $10,000 is repaid, the down stream effects of it's existence still exist.

    Banks don't create money? Let's see... They take in $1,000 in deposits and provides loan for $10,000 dollars worth of goods, based on only having to have a 10% reserve rate, seems they've created $9,000 in money to me. This is actually how our economy works, like a big pyramid scheme.

  5. Re:Silly on Facebook Axes "Beacon," Donates $9.5M To Settle Suit · · Score: 1

    Your post is too true. I am currently in Chicago on business and went to a very nice restaurant tonight by myself, simply because I like food. When I told my wife about it, her first comment was "Were you alone." Not 100% relevant but figured it added truth to what you are describing.

  6. Re:Data center cooling in the winter on Recycling Excess Heat From the Data Center · · Score: 2, Informative

    This already exists, and is in use in many data centers, they are called Air Side Economizers, http://www.42u.com/cooling/air-side-economizers.htm

  7. Re:Sorry, what? on Record-Breaking Black Friday For eBay's PayPal · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Given that it's named after becoming profitable for the year, I think "Jew Friday" would make more sense. Well, aside from the whole Christmas thing.

    *ducks*

    Absolutely disgusting!!!! You are a horrible human!

  8. Re:How does that work, exactly? on Transpacific Unity Fiber Optic Cable Leaves Japan · · Score: 1

    Further, the speed of light through fiber is not the speed of light. Light only propagates through fiber at 2/3 of the speed of light.

  9. Re:How does that work, exactly? on Transpacific Unity Fiber Optic Cable Leaves Japan · · Score: 1

    How do you figure you can get anywhere on the planet in 50ms?

  10. Re:Reverse Engineered Microsoft DOS??? on Space Shuttle To Be Replaced By SpaceX For ISS Resupply · · Score: 1

    And isn't it funny that these are the same computers that still run the space shuttle.

  11. New York City... on Court of Appeals Rejects FCC's Cable Subscriber Cap · · Score: 2, Informative

    New York City is a pretty big market by most counts, however in most of the city Time Warner is your ONLY choice for cable service. On top of that, most apartment buildings don't allow for the installation of satellite dishes, so Direct TV and Dish Networks are both out as options.

  12. Re:Shouldn't happen..... on US DTV Patent Royalties Are $24–$40 · · Score: 1

    How does the FCC have more money then taxpayer dollars? Aren't all dollars taxpayer dollars?

  13. Re:Be useful. on What To Do With 78 USB Drives Next Christmas? · · Score: 1

    This is the best idea of them all! You do a good deed and you might be able to take a right off on your taxes.

    If you have pirated materials on a computer other then your own, then you are an idiot...

  16. Only 91 Confirmed Cases in the US on WHO Raises Swine Flu Threat Level · · Score: 1

    With all the media hype you'd think everyone had the swine flu, but in reality there have only been 91 confirmed cases in the US. Not saying this isn't something to worry about, but it's only 91 cases in the WHOLE US!

  17. Re:Is anyone surprised? on Taxpayers Fund AIG Lawsuit Against US · · Score: 0

    Which banks would you be referring to that are "Well Capitalized"? Also, you do remember that AIG is not a bank, but an insurance company, who insured almost 100% of all of the CDO and a large percentage of the mortgages world wide? It would have made a lot more sense for the US government to FORCE AIG into bankruptcy and to have taken over it's insurance portfolio, but it's too late for that.

    I use my Kindle to read multiple newspapers each morning, and I don't have to worry about being on the road and not being able to buy the paper I want.

    You are WAY off base here... Let's take a look at the major stock exchanges for example: NYSE ARCA = Linux based system NASDAQ = Linux based system BATS Trading = Linux based system Most of the big prop trading firms = Linux based systems On the back end, I'd say a good 50% of all electronically trades happen on Linux systems.
