    Mod this up.

    Its more about companies being budget smart, if anything.

    Heh, Tom left myspace a long time ago . . .you no longer get his as an auto friend.

    I've been certain that I just haven't found the option to replicate properly.

    Thank you for restoring my sanity.

  4. It's not like they were in the middle of implementing a new security schema when they were let go. I'm pretty sure the fail of Sony to protect customer information occurred months before this.

  5. Re:The other way to read this... on Android Phones More Prone To Hardware Problems · · Score: 1

    That alone would make me switch from a BB phone. I have a Tour, which has worked fine for me over the past 13 months, but if a phone needs to be replaced every 90 days, then that phone/(model?) is crap.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that is the way it SHOULD be done, just that in this day and age, I would be very surprised if it isn't done.

  7. Re:Logic disconnect... on Authorities Closing On LulzSec · · Score: 1
    I'm not going to spend too much time responding to a AC, but Article 1 states:

    "The Parties agree to extradite to each other, pursuant to the provisions of this Treaty, persons sought by the authorities in the Requesting State for trial or punishment for extraditable offenses."

    Could you please provide a counterargument?

    Perhaps that can work for current music, but how do you track music I have ripped 15+ years ago that have lived though 4, 5, 6 hard drives and computer updates?

    Doubly agree for a different reason. $.

    This is going to cost DropBox in terms of reputation, customer retention, and future customers.

    I know I have made my fair share of mistakes, but someone has to bite the bullet for this gross oversight.

    Yea, I agree. Even with our political lovefest, it's not as entrenched as Italy's. Aye, what a mess . . . .

    Or they are a few a thousand kilomoeters away from any fault lines? Or the fact that this happened in Japan was not only the onslaught of 2 back to back disasters, but the culmination of a perfect storm of negligent reactor maintenance of running a power station decades past its tear down date?


    I swear, I will never shed the annoyance that FUD causes. Ask how many people know living 100 miles from a coal plant and a nuclear plant that you will get more radiation from the coal plant. But will swear up and down its "clean" and therefore safe.

    Nah, they are on their own network, aka "air-gaped". They are compromised when idiots dont use proper cross domain solutions like usb drives, or even worse intermingle computers on restricted networks and the internet.

    Unemployment is about 30% of what you made the past year.
    For some, its $200. For others, more or less. But the point is, making 30% of what you used to make (and not always right away, there may be gaps where you get no money) is hard to live on if you earn say . . . the average american paycheck.

    Source: being unemployed for 7 months, and only receiving unemployment for 6 months.

  18. Re:Not a fan on Mandatory Automotive Black Boxes May Be On the Way · · Score: 1

    Yes.

    There are safety features on a car (all I can think about on the spot is a seat belt) that should be illegal to disable (if it isnt already).

    Owning something does not mean you can necessarily do whatever you want to it in the name of "ownership" even if it will only hurt the said owner in the end.

    Relax. It was lunchtime, and I wasnt going to miss it to disprove someone on the internet.

    Like I have been saying all day, not all terrorist hijack airplanes. Clinic bombers, racial violence, school shootings, and hostage situations are all terrorist acts.

    But only a certain type of "terrorist" bothers you, so who cares who may be the next person to shoot at your kid or hold your wife hostage . . as long as you can fly with no Muslim people next to you, right?

    I just came back from Nigeria late April and had a connection from atlanta to detroit. And I was treated just as if I walked into an airport except for not having our luggage reweighed. That meant screening, machines, shoes off, the whole 9 yards. Im not sure if this is a new thing or if the ATL airport is just on top of their shit.

    I wish I could stab whoever started that damn 'most terrorist are Muslim' nonsense. Because thats so far from the truth.

    Could you please point me to some statistic, it can even be 100% fabricated, so I can be happy? Because im sure you're just a parrot.
