  1. Re:Saving 10-15 hours a week? on What's Keeping US Phones In the Stone Age? · · Score: 1

    In a lot of situations, such as when sitting on a bus a laptop just isn't very convenient. Plus it becomes just one more thing that you have to hold and carry.

  2. A story as old as time... on MySpace Fears, Just Another Backlash? · · Score: 1

    In theory that makes anywhere where underage teens and adults meet a possibly unsafe enviroment because it could lead to them dating.

    When I was in high school I knew plenty of girls that were dating older guys and a couple guys that were dating older women. When I graduated I knew a couple guys that were dating freshmen and from what I hear there are people that I graduated with who still haven't "moved on from high school.

    So the internet certainly isn't needed for this. I'd be far more concerned about all the teenagers that freely give out their cell phone numbers whether it be on their away messages, their websites, or their journals. I think that be a far greater concern if I was a parent.

  3. Text book ebooks done right on Textbooks With EULAs · · Score: 1

    For all my math clases I've taken in college I've used http://www.tdlc.com/ for my books. $35 for a year subscription to the books. Really great considering how much math books tend to cost. Never had a teacher that minded me using it either. The only drawback is the lack of page numbers for those teachers that assign things by page numbers instead of section number. Plus it's even better in some ways than the normal book in the sense that instead of just giving you the answer for odd number problems it walks you through the whole problem.

  4. Incetious plot holes on 7-Year Old Prequel Fan On ANH · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering if a parent should be happy that their kid didn't point out that Leia kissed her brother or worried that they did notice it and didn't see anything wrong about it.

  5. Re:Why? on Google to Map San Francisco in 3D · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For an example, most department stores have those little schematic of their stores that show where each area is in the store. Using that you can tell someone "Meet me in the sporting good section" and they can look at the map and figure out where the sporting good section is and meet you there. Problem is that you can't be anymore specific and instantly expect the person to know where you're talking about unless they've been there. Now on the other hand if you had a detailed 3D map of the store you could say meet me where the basketballs are and someone could look and see exactly where the basketballs are in relation to everything else and meet you there. Now depending on how detailed Google's 3D maps will be you could do the same exact thing. You could point out a specific landmark and the person could go to Google's map page and see exactly what you're talking about and where it's in relation to everything else and know exactly where to go. I don't know about you but I hate going somewhere and knowing that I'm in the right general area but having to guess if I'm in the right specific spot.

    That be kind of like saying buying a ticket to a movie gives you the right to record the movie.

    It's a lot less fun when your Google search finds your OWN porn.
