  1. Re:8.8.8.8 on Paul Vixie: 100,000 DSL Modems May Lose Their DNS On July 9 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    These days? I would bet more than 50% by traffic probably A LOT more by traffic...

    Do you think Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, AT&T (SBC), Bright House, Verizon etc... aren't? What percentage of DNS services do they provide?

    Even if they don't use it directly many of them are selling it to someone who does.

  8. The only way it works in the man's favor on Man Ordered To Apologize To Wife On Facebook · · Score: 1

    Is if she slept around on him and he can prove it. Video evidence is usually best (no I'm not kidding) but pictures are usually ok. Having watch a number of friends (and myself on a not so contentious one) ride that ride the ONLY ones who didn't get completely screwed over where the ones who had evidence that their spouse cheated on them.

    The one who found out by finding a video of his wife screwing the neighbor won the biggest. He got sole physical custody of the children and permission to move without regard for his ex. He also got child support etc...

  10. Re:EHarmony only works if you're Christian on Study: Online Dating Makes People "Picky" and "Unrealistic" · · Score: 1

    Strange, that wasn't the experience I had on eHarmony at all. I'm not Christian, I hadn't thought of myself as Christian for a decade before joining eHarmony. I'm also not quiet about my beliefs. I had more good dates in two months on eHarmony (and ultimately met my wife) than in college, in bars, or multiple other dating sites. Now this was back in 2004 so it may be a different world now but it is strange how different our experiences were.

    I should note that I also have a friend who has had the same experience you have so you are by no means an isolated case.

  11. Their great if done right. on Ask Slashdot: Are Daily Stand-Up Meetings More Productive? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We run an end of the day 5 minute run down meeting. It is a great way for managers to catch patterns, problems, and just generally keep a finger on the pulse of how things are running. The key is the 5 minute time limit.

    It makes it easy to pass information up and down the chain and maintain the focus.

  12. Re:Arrogance beyond belief on Apple Forcing IT Shops To 'Adapt Or Die' · · Score: 1

    From someone who owns both an iPhone 4 and two different android phone (one HTC, one Samsung) you sir are sadly mistaken. I'm not sure what they screwed up in the new IOS but the Androids work flawlessly, the iPhone? Sometimes... when it feels like it... Sometimes it even works after you're completely reset it but not always.

    I think by vanity project he meant with one with little strategic resource value especially compared with Hormuz. Honestly how you feel about the success of the containment policies really decides if Vietnam was a vanity project, at least for the US.

  18. So far I've been impressed with WP7 on Nokia Exec: Young People Fed Up With iPhone and Android · · Score: 3, Informative

    My wife now has a WP7 phone (HTC Arrive) and loves it. The OS seems well put together and while it doesn't seem to be a power user phone it does many of the functions better of being a phone, text platform, and media consumption device much more smoothly than either iOS or Android. I use both an Android (Galaxy SII currently) and an iPhone 4 on a daily basis, my preference is heavily on the Android side for many usability and functionality reasons. I also run custom ROMs on my android vs. stock on the iPhone which may have much to do with my experience.

    That said the WP7 has been impressive enough that it may just be my next phone.

  21. Let me get this straight... on Apple Transfers Patents Through Shell Company To Sue All Phone Makers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Apple via DI just picked a fight with pretty much every player in the mobile phone market?

    This reeks of desperation. Something tells me the recent rulings against them around the world from Germany to the US to Australia are a major blow to their ego and they're lashing out like the cool kid who is suddenly being abandoned by all his friends...

    It will be interesting to see if Apple can survive a fight with Microsoft (who are obligated to help due to agreements with Nokia and WP7), Google (Own Motorola), Sony, Samsung, RIM, LG, and Amazon...

    Does this mean the merger is officially dead or is it just the first step in ending the merger? The article gave me the impression that the merger was still happening, kinda, but not with the FCC.
