  1. Re:jury trials cost more money on How To Crash the US Justice System: Demand a Trial · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The US is not a Christian nation.

  2. Re:Mental Disability Stigma on Marketing Agency Uses Homeless As Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    Hunting and fishing permits cost money and have strict limits. You're also not allowed to camp out in the woods for more than 2 weeks at a time in most places.

    "Passers-by may then pay what they wish either in cash or by PayPal to get online 4G networks via the Wi-Fi device"

    How do you audit "pay-what-you-want"?

    And now you have 150+ employees who get less work done than ever before.

    You can easily get two laptops for the price of one iPad.

    Look into the ViDock, it does exactly this.

    99% of laptops that have discrete graphics have the GPU soldered to the mainboard.

  10. Re:Dumb move. on Google Unifies Media, Apps Into Google Play · · Score: 2

    You mean that Facebook (another company where you are the product) doesn't operate in a similar (but much worse regarding privacy) manner?

  11. Re:WHY? on Google Unifies Media, Apps Into Google Play · · Score: 1

    Video is intriguing. I can just imagine what is going to be uploaded there.

    Nothing since you only get access to video's you purchase/rent from Google.

  12. Re:Will Apple file a lawsuit? on Google Unifies Media, Apps Into Google Play · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Until recently the iPhone required iTunes in order to sync your contacts/calendar/apps. Android devices have never required a computer in order to sync this stuff.

  13. Re:Apple practically invented patent trolling on How Steve Jobs Patent-Trolled Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    Apple got quite a few of the PARC team members.

  14. Re:another misleading quantum computing article on IBM Touts Quantum Computing Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    That is just the kind of attitude that holds back progress.

  15. Serverloft on Suggestions For Music Hosting? · · Score: 1

    If you're going to administer the system yourself checkout Serverloft. For $139 a month you can get 5TB transfer and a decent Xeon server.

  16. Re:Still using a CD/DVD player? on Comparing Today's Computers To 1995's · · Score: 1

    My Thinkpad gives you the option to put the recovery image onto a bootable USB drive. But still, having the option to put it onto a physical disc that is not likely to get over-written (and is a fraction of the cost) is a nice option to have. I can put the recovery discs into the box the laptop shipped in and store it in the closet. I also replaced the optical drive with the untrabay drive caddy, stuck the stock hard drive in there and stuck an SSD into the drive bay.

    And in the video linked in the article you hear it hit the ground and the sound of the blades breaking.

  19. Re:If they hadn't brought their drone on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    Gravel falling out of the back of a truck on the freeway is more dangerous. #6 birdshot has nowhere near the same mass. I've had it rain down on me and it doesn't even leave a mark.

  20. Re:If they hadn't brought their drone on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    Watch the video, there may be a busy highway in the area but they sure as hell were not on one. Looks like they were on a private dirt road.

    But you do see an empty dirt road.

    Watch the video, that "highway" was an empty dirt road.

    And notice how they fail to show any pictures of the "gunshot damage".

  24. Re:If they hadn't brought their drone on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 5, Informative

    #6 Birdshot fired out of a 12 gauge has a maximum effective range of around 40 yards, when shooting birds. I can guarantee there was no danger posed to anyone on that highway, the birdshot never even got close.

  25. Re:US, Pakistan, Nukes on Nuclear Truckers Haul Warheads Across US · · Score: 1

    The difference here is that Pakistan does not go to the lengths that we do to secure our nukes in transit. And that country is overrun with terrorist groups who would love to get their hands on a nuke.
