The article (and in fact most similar articles I have read) seem to take nothing into account regarding automatic and manual gearboxes. There is a massive difference between talking on a phone whilst changing gear and whilst driving an automatic car. It would be an interesting comparison and it is certainly far more dangerous in general to speak on a phone whilst driving a manual. Having to change gear whilst keeping a phone to your cheek (generally with your other hand) is magnitudes more dangerous than plodding along in an automatic...
Nope, never said that. I said the ease of cross platform compatibility. It's a hell of a lot easier to get HTML to render the same across platforms than it is for an android app to 'render' the same on an iPhone!
The same argument holds for any platform. A native app will always be quicker. One of the advantages of web apps in any scenario is the ease of cross platform compatibility. In the mobile world this holds true even more so than on the desktop. If they can push this kind of development (especially with the hardware capabilities of modern phones) it would be great for phone hardware in the long term.
There also isn't DHCP with IPv6, hence the sarcastic comment... Oh well I guess my crap joke was worse than I thought. Or I overestimated the knowledge of the average/.er.
it's interesting to note that this is the first song to reach the number one spot through downloads alone in the UK
Umm, no it isn't. Crazy by Gnarles Barkley was the first song to reach number one in the UK on downloads alone. This was the first song to be the Christmas number 1 on downloads alone.
OK so you have some ability to see into the future in as much as no search engine will ever come along that is ever better than Google.
Get off your high horse. Yes I agree that Microsoft's approach is wrong in that they often try to influence peoples opinion and choice of products. I for one despise them for this and try to avoid their software like the plague. Hpever I am also not so blinkered that I can never see a day where Google does not rule the world (in search engine terms at least).
Don't say you will never switch from Google, an innovative company could pop up tomorrow that shows us a brand new way to index information on the web that is much more efficient and all of a sudden people like you will be slagging of Google and classing them as the new Microsoft because you have a new idolised company.
I'm not a fan of Microsoft but possibly the only thing I dislike more is the people who hate them for the sake of hating them, please at least give us a good argument and not a load of crap that makes no sense.
Maybe on the newest Blackberry's that is true but certainly not on my Blackberry 8320. I have to use the bcharge app on Linux or whatever the software is that comes with windows in order to charge mine.
This is one way the game industry have attempted to over come piracy I think but to a slightly larger extent and I think we will see more and more of it.
Look at games like Guitar Hero, excellent, fun games that could quite easily be pirated but what is the point of having the game without the nice guitar to play it with. Same goes for rock band etc. More bespoke controllers and extras that make the game worth playing and consumers are quite happy to pay through the nose for it and not bother trying to pirate it.
Maybe as you said, something similar could be done by the music industry to provide an extra incentive to get out there and buy the cd's as opposed to pirating, or even downloading the mp3's legally.
Oh look, a compnay starts doing well for itself and all of a sudden it is tarred with the same brush as other large corporations, bring them down, just be happy that at least it is a company with 'relatively' good products and business ethics, in case you haven't noticed, when you start a business like google, you have a tendancy to make money, this does not mean it is evil!
With the $3.2 million they have raised why don't they just finance a star trek project of their own, it probably wouldnt be enough to finance another season of enterprise but if they are that determined they could finance a nice 1st season of something new I would have thought! If they're that desperate of course

You dare mention a man that was partly responsible for downgrading Pluto? Shame!
That's why it's a TV (Television) standard...

Don't piss on your telly again, and you should be fine.
::1 post is how I would have put it ;)
My bad, wrong phrasing. It was not part of the original spec however, as it was replaced with autoconf. It was defined 5 years later...
There also isn't DHCP with IPv6, hence the sarcastic comment... Oh well I guess my crap joke was worse than I thought. Or I overestimated the knowledge of the average /.er.
And don't forget to NAT everything while you're at it.
Yes
"100MB/s per month" How many MB/s does that equate to per second?
And guess how people end up remembering these passwords. Post-it notes within the vicinity of the PC seems to be a favourite.
Enforcing people to change passwords regularly seems to have many drawbacks. I really don't understand the point.

"Gates knows software patents are bad for the industry"
Don't you mean "Gates knew software patents were bad for the industry".
Come on, this quote is 18 years old, peoples opinions change!
An IP address DOES identify a computer- but not the way the judge thinks. My IP address identifies my router, which in turn owns 5 to 6 computers.
That's a kick ass router, I wish my router would get a job and buy more computers.
How can a complaint be filed with ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF WHATSOEVER. TFA is little more than opinion on what might have happened.
I for one will never switch from google

If only swine flu hadn't taken over from bird flu we'd have an abundant supply of the feathers as well.

So it's impossible to say that something isn't possible?
Of course, because pinging ::1 is loads more difficult than pinging 127.1 .....
