    Sure, VZW's 4G LTE may be "better," but you'll hit your monthly data cap after watching three movies. Enjoy your overage charges!

    In other words: never.

  5. Re:Who didn't see this coming?? on Zediva Shut Down By Federal Judge, MPAA Parties! · · Score: 1

    Broadcasting implies that multiple people in multiple locations can view it simultaneously. What Zediva does is more like using the Internet as if it were an extremely long video and audio cable.

  6. Re:sell it? just shut it down on Hulu For Sale: Is There Good News For Users? · · Score: 1

    If they just shut it down, they don't get millions of dollars for selling it to someone gullible enough to buy it.

  7. Sandvine? on Netflix Dominates North American Internet · · Score: 1

    Isn't Sandvine one of the companies that sells IP monitoring, DPI, and throttling products? I'd take anything they say with an ocean of salt.

  8. Re:Tomato on Ask Slashdot: How To Monitor Your Own Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 1

    So hook up a Tomato router to the ethernet port of the verizon router, set your router to spoof the MAC address of your PC, and tell the verizon router to treat it as a DMZ. Problem solved.

  9. Make that 72 hours on Endeavour Launch Delayed For At Least 48 Hours · · Score: 1

    They just announced that it will be a minimum 72 hour delay on the live broadcast. Something about problems with fuel line heaters.

  10. Re:DD-WRT + QoS on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Leave My Router Open? · · Score: 1

    I'm using Tomato right now, and the QoS implementation does now allow you to set classifications based on SSID or Wireless vs Wired - it allows classification by specific IP or MAC, but that would mean tweaking the classifications every time a new device shows up. That's not a practical solution. Additionally, I don't see a way to enable multiple SSIDs using Tomato.

    I used to use DD-WRT, and I do remember being able to configure multiple SSIDs on a single router, some with encryption and some without. So if DD-WRT allows configuring QoS based on which SSID a user is connected to, that would certainly be a good solution. I just don't remember their QoS all that well.

    You could still hook a DVR up to the multicast stream, and time-shift it that way.

    And all of that is why we want net neutrality.

    Virgin and Cricket are both CDMA. A GSM phone won't work there.

    Raising awareness of a boycott and getting more people in on it makes it a much more effective boycott.

  15. Re:Not sure about that on Senators Bash ISP and Push Extensive Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    The truth is, ISPs need happy customers, or else they will lose them to other ISPs.

    Uhh, which other ISPs would they lose the customers to? Very few communities have any sort of choice when it comes to broadband. So the wallet-voting you're proposing is for everyone to go without any sort of broadband access? Good luck with that.

    Yet iPhone developers accept this.

    Yet people still legally jailbreak their iPhones to get around the lockout on devices they own.

    Sure, a couple quick examples for Wii: Wii Earth, Wiihttpd.

  18. Re:Xbox 360 vs. Wii and original Xbox on Judge Berates Prosecutors In Xbox Modding Trial · · Score: 2

    Except if you want to actually test/debug your XNA-developed games on the 360, you need to pay a $99/year subscription fee. If you don't pay that fee, you can't do anything with your homebrew game other than play it on PC. Additionally, XNA only allows development of games - there's far more to homebrew than just gaming.

  19. Re:False on Nexus One a Failed Experiment In Online Sales · · Score: 1

    Correction. 500 minute voice. Though, that doesn't make much of a difference - I never even come close to using 400 minutes, and this is the lowest amount they'll sell.

  20. Re:False on Nexus One a Failed Experiment In Online Sales · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't know about the GP, but on my 400 minute voice, unlimited text/data plan with T-mobile, I'm paying $65.53/month after all taxes and fees (in MA) with no contract. Before taxes/fees, this plan is $60/month. The same plan when used with a subsidized phone has a pre-taxes/fees price of $80/month. So, over the course of a 2-year contract, the subsidized plan would have me paying an extra $480, plus however much taxes and fees work out to be on the extra 20/month. I've never seen that big of a discount when buying a subsidized phone, so I know what I'll be sticking with.

  21. Re:Operative words on Fifth of Android Apps Expose Private Data · · Score: 5, Informative
    As an example, here is the warning text from the most recent update to the Google Maps application:

    This application has access to the following:
    • Your personal information: read contact data, write contact data
    • Services that cost you money: directly call phone numbers
    • Your location: coarse (network-based) location, fine (GPS) location
    • Network communication: full Internet access
    • Your accounts: Google Maps, manage the accounts list, use the authentication credentials of an account
    • Storage: modify/delete SD card contents
    • Phone calls: read phone state and identity
    • Hardware controls: record audio
    • System tools: prevent phone from sleeping, retrieve running applications

    These are all displayed to the user in big orange warning text, with an OK/Cancel button below 'em. Every application in the market does this sort of thing, so the user knows exactly what every app is able to do. The article looks like FUD to me.

  25. Re:Low-end HDMI Cables on Microsoft Drops Xbox 360 Pricing · · Score: 1

    If you don't have sound with your 360's HDMI, it's likely a problem with your TV. I've got a Westinghouse LCD HDTV, and it has problems with HDMI audio every month or so. It'll keep showing the video, but no audio at all over HDMI. The only solution I've found is to unplug the TV's power, wait a minute, then plug it back in. It's a pain, but like everyone else has said, the 360 certainly has HDMI audio, and that's what I have to do to keep it working with my TV.
