  1. I like it on Google+: Tools, Names, and Facebook · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So far I'm digging Google+. The Android app for it is nice too. Hopefully it doesn't get clogged up like Facebook with tons of games, quizzes, etc. I'm using G+ only for people I actually know unlike Facebook.

  2. Re:For a new Android user on New SMS Trojan Found In Android Markets · · Score: 1

    Pay attention to what the app wants access to when you install it. You have to OK it before it will install. If it's a live wallpaper there should never be a reason it needs to access anything on your phone for example.

  3. Re:Code review pros and cons on Are You Too Good For Code Reviews? · · Score: 1

    Writing software in the semiconductor industry for almost 2 decades I have found reviews to be a waste of time mostly. I never worked in environments where multiple people were working at the same piece of code at the same time. It would have more value in that setting. When you are working by yourself on code and you have to do code reviews I found most of the time is explaining what the code is doing to the manager. The other developers don't care, they have their work to do and really could careless what you are doing unless it affects what they are doing.

  4. Not so much on Among the Costs of War: $20B In Air Conditioning · · Score: 1

    I think my electricity bill was just slightly under that last month in Phoenix.

  5. hmm on Verizon To Drop Unlimited Data Plans In Two Weeks · · Score: 1

    Well I'm still in a contract for another 1.5 years with Verizon so I guess I'll have unlimited data until then.

  6. Android? on Chinese Boy Sells Kidney For iPad2 · · Score: 1

    China makes some great Android tablets wonder why he didn't just spend under $100 on one of those? Screw Apple!

  7. Police State on Embed a Video, Go To Jail? · · Score: 1

    If by some slim chance this was made into law the US government would effectively be able to throw whomever they wanted to in jail. This person causing trouble? Just slip an imbedded video link into their social account and go arrest them. The last couple administrations have shown they don't care about the US laws and Constitution anyways. They'll do what they want. "Change we can believe in".

  8. Re:Boise ID on CmdrTaco Visits Pixar · · Score: 1

    Anybody just going to Boise period is going to be disappointed haha

  9. Re:My neighborhood and your family members on CmdrTaco Visits Pixar · · Score: 1

    Step sister not sister in law... My bad ;)

  10. My neighborhood and your family members on CmdrTaco Visits Pixar · · Score: 1

    I literally live right next door to your sister in law Mary cmdrtaco. I hung out with your brother a few weeks ago when he was visiting. You should come down here and give me a tshirt just because I know some of your family personally ;)

  11. Re:Does anybody *buy* this story? on PSN Outage Continues, Console Hack Claimed To Be Responsible · · Score: 1

    Buy what story? They announced today that an outside intrusion has resulted in all user data being stolen.

  12. Oh oh personal data comprised on PSN Outage Continues, Console Hack Claimed To Be Responsible · · Score: 1

    Sony announced today basically all personal info has been comprised by the hacker(s): http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/26/update-on-playstation-network-and-qriocity/

  13. Re:Really Annoying on Verizon on Skype For Android Can Leak Data To Malicious Apps · · Score: 1

    I will definitely do that after the warranty is through. The LG Ally can be rooted easily and use new kernels but unfortunately they also seem to break frequently. I'm on phone #3 and my wife's is on #3. Rebooting issues and the ear piece going out seem to be frequent issues.

  14. RA on Iran Says Siemens Helped US, Israel Build Stuxnet · · Score: 1

    Rockwell Automation's CEO just saw dollar signs flash before his eyes. Iran should have paid the extra money and went with RA PLCs not that Siemens crap.

  15. nuke it on TEPCO Unveils Plan To Deal With Fukushima Crisis · · Score: 0

    Nuke it from orbit...It's the only way to be sure.

  16. Really Annoying on Verizon on Skype For Android Can Leak Data To Malicious Apps · · Score: 1

    I don't even want Skype on my phone (LG Ally) but Verizon forces it on you along with a bunch of other crap (CityID, etc.) you can't make them not run at boot up, can't uninstall them, can't move them to the SD, etc. You can kill them with a task killer or manage apps but they start back up.

  17. Not too interested on Microsoft Adds Kinect Support For Netflix · · Score: 1

    Netflix is more suited to the controller or my HD-DVD remote. Now LastFM on the other hand I love the Kinect integration and use it all the time.

  18. Re:End of the world on Microsoft Buys 666,000 IP Addresses · · Score: 2

    Of course it does. I believe the Mayans knew we would run out of IPv4 addresses near the end of 2012. They knew that would be the end of the world so they didn't do a calendar past that.

  19. Re:Actual Picture on Iran Unveils Flying Saucer Using Old B-Movie Stock Photo · · Score: 1

    I haven't got mod points in ages and CmdrTaco's sister is my neighbor.

  20. MPAA army on Iran Unveils Flying Saucer Using Old B-Movie Stock Photo · · Score: 1

    The MPAA has announced a full scale invasion of Iran for copyright infringement.

  21. Re:Uhh.. on Angry Birds Exec Says Console Games Are Dying · · Score: 1

    Angry Birds is a complete copy of other games that came before it. They didn't stumble on anything. They took the Zygna approach, copy it and market it better than the originators.

  22. 4g bahhh on How AT&T Totally Flubbed 4G · · Score: 1

    My sister was all hyped up to get the Sprint 4G phone. Only to find out there was no 4G coverage in her area (Phoenix metro area).

  23. wow on SnowWorld VR Game Reduces Pain For Burn Patients · · Score: 1

    If SnowWorld helps that much imagine what PornWorld will do!

  24. cheating on live is usually achievement hacks on Xbox Live Labels Autistic Boy "Cheater" · · Score: 1

    Usually when you get reduced to cheater status by MS it's nearly always because of hacked achievements. The person got an online achievement when offline, they got all achievements for several games on the same day, etc. If they are cheating in a game with a hacked Xbox and they get caught that is always a console ban for life. My son is mildly autistic (Asberger's) and he has more than enough knowledge to hack achievements if he wanted to. This boy is not retarded, the autism has nothing to do with it. It probably encouraged it because people with autism will almost obsess over a thing and put all their attention on it.

  25. Re:Usual bullshit... on Microsoft Sues TiVo · · Score: 1

    I'd agree I was still using my old Ultimate TV boxes just a couple years ago. I always found them superior to other DVRs I had tried.
