  1. Re:Not just corporations on Supreme Court Rolls Back Corporate Campaign Spending Limits · · Score: 1

    Yes, I'm sure that the Union's will be able to match the corporations contributions.

    Have you ever heard of the AFL CIO? In 2000 they spent 4.1 million on federal campaigns.

    I'm sure many corporations would gladly give up free speech if they were not taxed like individuals.

    All asteriods could be women, up until now no asteroid has been seen venting gas.

  7. Backing themselves into corner on Google To Suspend Mobile Phone Launch In China · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Google is positioning itself so that their only two options will be to tuck their tail between their legs and do China's bidding or pull out and lose all the invested capital. China will not back down they will never let themselves appear weak.

  8. Re:Spotty 3G on T-Mobile? on Nexus One Owners Report Spotty 3G Signals On T-Mobile · · Score: 1

    T-Mobile has always had coverage issues, they don't suscribe to the verizon plan of cover everywhere and charge your customers more for the towers that don't get used.

  9. Re:Free trade of ideas, anyone? on Google Hacked, May Pull Out of China · · Score: 1

    Google could be afraid of China pulling a Hugo Chavez and confiscating their equipment. Whatever reassurances China gives to Google may not be enough. When the risk is losing all investments the reward may not be worth it.

  10. Re:yes on Does a Lame E-Mail Address Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    A resume is a reflection of you, spelling mistakes, and other non related information is taken into account. An AOL account says that you are stuck in the past and are unwilling to adapt to the future which is a bad trait in the IT field. Lets look at one of the cardinal rules of business Evolve or DIE!

    Probably not as much as if you had your resume hosted on geocities.

  12. Re:No Suprise here on Court Unfriendly To FCC's Internet Slap At Comcast · · Score: 1

    Actually, the real real solution is probably a publicly owned utility handling telecom and ISP, because publicly owned utilities have a history of giving better prices and service than their private counterparts for doing similar jobs.

    Just ask any Russian about the public hot water, they shut off hot water in the summer for matience.

  13. Re:It's time for a proper neutrality law on Court Unfriendly To FCC's Internet Slap At Comcast · · Score: 1

    As much as I'm for net neutrality, I have to side with the Judges on this one. All the Judge is saying is the FCC can not create and enforce laws that seems pretty reasonable to me.

  14. Re:Excuse me, do you need a fscking law for this ? on Court Unfriendly To FCC's Internet Slap At Comcast · · Score: 1

    But the FCC does not have the power to enforce any consumer protection laws.

    So all that needs to happen is a law must be passed. I can't wait to see how many pages it will take to say NO THROTTLING!

    All they will do is inconvinience and hassle anyone with some minor indiscretion to hide (like a few pills or a bag of pot), which will be essentially as close to 100% of the people going through as it gets. All to catch... well... who exactly?

  21. Re:Easy come.... easy go.... on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    Why do you think INTERPOL care about what America asks them to do?

    The thing I am worried about is espionage, given diplomatic immunity Interpol agents could and most likely will be used by their home countries to pass intel with out any worry about espionage charges for their agents. Diplomatic immunity is how many countries funnel classified information out of the country. Obama has inadvertently given countries another tool to get classified info out of the country so that he can continue the Bush policies of spying on its citizens.

    By the time hover cars are available, cars should be driving by themselves so it shouldn't be a problem until computers start getting road rage.

  25. Re:So this means 3-D processors, right? on Building Complex Circuits With Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 1

    Carbon nanotubes show more promise in the shrinking transistor race, they do not require as much electricity at the same size when compared to silicone. Currently the carbon transistors can be made but quality control is lousy, nobody can get them to grow in a predictable manor, Stanford has found a way to test each individual transistor on the wafer and only connect the ones that are aligned. Because less energy is used there will be less heat and the circuits can be stacked.
