  1. Re:Offline is less important than real-time update on Nokia To Make GPS Navigation Free On Smartphones · · Score: 1

    I suppose you never heard of TMC.

  2. Re:What about live traffic updates on Nokia To Make GPS Navigation Free On Smartphones · · Score: 1

    There is a TMC driver for the FM radio module of many HTC devices. With it any TMC enabled navigation software can do that.
    You can find the driver here

  3. Re:Hope and Change, baby! on Obama DOJ Sides With RIAA Again In Tenenbaum · · Score: 1

    Not if the society decides differently. If it bothers you you still can move to a tax haven - but there you'll whine that you cannot profit from all the benefits you've currently got.

  4. Re:Kids... on New Study Shows Youth Plugged In Most of the Day · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the only people who really try to learn higher level things are those who try to spell properly because those who don't, don't bother to learn at all.

    The cost of living in a society is paying for it. Try not paying your rent and watch how fast you'll be kicked out. With violence if needed.
    You want to refuse paying the rent for living in the society but still stay in the society. Don't want to pay for it - you are free to leave.

  6. Re:Hope and Change, baby! on Obama DOJ Sides With RIAA Again In Tenenbaum · · Score: 1

    This is the cost of living in a society. You want to have a cake and eat it, too - you profit from living in a stable and safe society but don't want to give back. This is not possible.

  7. Re:Visual Studio replacement on Linux on What Tools Do FLOSS Developers Need? · · Score: 1

    Code::blocks is okay but not nearly as comfortable (I use both the Linux and the Windows version).

  8. Re:Potato Cannons on Sound Generator Lethal From 10 Meters · · Score: 1

    Well, potato is potentially lethal - green potatos and potato berries and seeds contain solanine which is a poison.

  9. What's the problem? on Genre Wars — the Downside of the RPG Takeover · · Score: 1

    There is an easy way to remove all RPG elements - use cheats.

  10. Re:That's about right if your name is Fidel Castro on 2-D Avatar To Be Pulled From Theaters In China · · Score: 1

    First, the whole premise of free trade essentially requires that foreigners can own land, or own "something" in another country. Otherwise, why would they trade with the other country? What would they get back in return.

    Please explain how USA and USSR managed to trade without any opposite land ownership.

  11. I can't wait for the Firefox addon on Open-Source JavaScript Flash Player (HTML5/SVG) · · Score: 1

    So I can finally switch to 64 bit firefox. And yes, I know that there is a Linux plugin available, but I don't use Linux at home.

  12. Re:This is not a shock... on Wii Balance Board Gives $18,000 Medical Device a Run For Its Money · · Score: 1

    My CPAP machine was nearly completely covered by the insurance - I had to pay 10 euros co-payment and about 50 euros for a used humidifier. The actual device costs about 1000 Euros. I will have to give it back when I don't need it anymore - fat chance :-(

  13. Re:Worthless patents on Apple Seeks To Ban Nokia Imports To US · · Score: 1

    No, it is not a violation of RAND terms since Apple is not a member of the GSM association.

  14. Re:Sue first, ask questions later on Apple Seeks To Ban Nokia Imports To US · · Score: 5, Informative

    RAND terms are only available for GSM association members. Apple hasn't joined the association so RAND terms don't apply for them.

    You mean like in terminator salvation?

    Microsoft, Vodafone, Cisco, Intel, Samsung Electronics...

    Paper doesn't blush.
    The Soviet Union also had a constitution. With rights for free press, free speech and so on in it.

  18. Re:Indeed on The FBI's Newest Tool — Google Images · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It looks like you have heard something about Marx' works, but not much and all of it pretty distorted. Never heard of the dictatorship of the proletariat? This is how the transitional state was called by the communists themselves. The rest of your assumptions is equally distorted.

    You also refuse to see that the modern society - with all its workers rights, 40 hour week and so on - was allowed because of the fear of communist revolution. Because in the 19th century working conditions really sucked and the society was quite broken.

    Thanks for the correction, ceased is the word I should have used.

    Ignorance and stupidity aren't exclusive American traits.

    Oh, that wasn't the only reason. Add trade embargoes, cold war, foreign intervention and so on - every time a communist country emerges suddenly half of the world tries to destroy its political and economical base.

    Same thing was said about DX10. And about HD4670.

    For someone who doesn't care about 3d games you seem to have quite strong emotions about direct x and gamers.
