  1. Re:Well DUH on Boeing Scraps In-flight Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Actually, for Verizon Wireless customers it's quite reasonable. I think it's 69c a minute and you can receive calls on your wireless number while in the air.

    Mitt Romney is the first Mass governor to run for President since Dukakis in 1988.

  3. Re:This is a great idea! on Non-Profit to Run Boston Wi-Fi? · · Score: 1
    This is not a free wireless network:
    Boston's proposal aims to reduce the price of broadband Internet access for city residents from an average of roughly $40 a month to $15 by having the nonprofit act as a wholesale seller of network capacity to existing sellers of Internet access. Those companies could offer low-cost or free ad-supported online connections.

    This non profit will be selling access to their network directly to companies like Comcast.

  9. Re:Pay for play video? Welcome to Amatuer Porn on Get Played. Get Paid. · · Score: 1

    The most-downloaded goofy video meme of the week will get more hits than your average porn clip.

    Of course, being that most-downloaded video clip is not easy. I wonder if it would be worth paying people to hype your clip up around the internet.

    You must be thinking of the National Enquirer. Actually, perhaps you're thinking of the Weekly World News. The Enquirer is all celebrity garbage.

    That's not emulated, only virtualized. Virtual PC in this case is translating machine code, which is totally different.

    A 24K paycheck for the whole year after taxes just MIGHT be enough to pay rent and utilities.

  17. Re:Same as last year. on Windows Servers Beat Linux Servers · · Score: 1

    What the heck is up with your math? If a Windows server has 1 day of downtime per year, and the Linux server has 20% more downtime, that is only 1.2 days of downtime.

    Advice from a mother to her college age, Boston-bound daughter:

    "Never go out with an MIT student; they are horrible dates. More than
    any other college men, they are only after one thing:
