  1. Re:Drop football, save $100 million on University of Florida Eliminates Computer Science Department · · Score: 1

    At UF Football is a profit center. Since the story is about UF, I suppose that is relevant.

  2. Re:There's plenty of that on University of Florida Eliminates Computer Science Department · · Score: 1

    Keep in Mind that UF is part of the University of Florida system and there is a still bigger picture to consider.

    I agree it sounds like he is looking for ITT Tech

    You really have no idea what you are talking about do you? Find one significant program where CS is a separate department.

    Or MIT with its combined EECS department. Or Maybe Caltech where it is combined with the Math department. Man all these schools suck. Maybe he was thinking of UT where it is part of the Engineering school. Oh wait.

  6. Re:Not looking forward to this on Ph.D Webcomic Gets Adapted Into Feature Film · · Score: 2

    The acting is a bit painful at times, but some of it is ok. Overall it works for what it is.

  7. Re:Price point on Ph.D Webcomic Gets Adapted Into Feature Film · · Score: 1

    Not a rental though. You can stream it forever. It is in fact half the price of a purchase :)

    Not exactly real in the past decade.

  9. Make a shipping product or it doesn't really exist.

  10. Re:Apple, do the right thing, apologize on Macbook Owner With Defective GPU Beats Apple In Court · · Score: 1

    They did not handle it well. THey issued a policy that simply was not well understood or implemented by the people on the front line. They should have simply replaced everyone with that model of GPU. All of the silly processes and testing were simply bad customer service.

  11. For Me.. on Macbook Owner With Defective GPU Beats Apple In Court · · Score: 1

    They replaced the board a full 18 months out of warranty. They could stand to better inform the Geniuses. I did have to escalate my issue to the manager both when I brought it in and picked it up. I also had to show them their own knowledge base article and explain it to them.

    There is no data moved into icloud "wether you want it or not". If you don't want it, don't turn it on. Don't log in.

    Since the iPod 1 it has never been even a little challenging to load MP3s from anywhere into your iPod. Not even a little. Your statements are all simply false.

    They actually held on to fairplay to get DRM off of the music. It is very well documented from sources on both sides. Look it up. (If Google will let you). If Apple released Fairplay you would not have DRM free music today.

    The only way to choose to not be a google product is to not use a google service. Once you use a service, they are selling you.

    What about the adwords walled garden?

    There are about 100 different ways to turn pages in a document on the iPad, might try some different apps.

    Do you still use Google? They are by far the largest Censor on the Internet?

    Can you link the site? I have never seen one that required facebook. I have seen some that required either Facebook, Google, Twitter, or a local account.

    Yet Sergei is fine with sites using Google as a login service. Why do people take this clown seriously.

    Opera on your old Nokia phone was not anyone near as good as Safari on the iPhone 1. You get caught up in mindless features instead of how it actually displayed and interacted with web pages.

    They were against it only after they got caught doing it and started taking a PR hit over the rest of the world. You won't let his re-write pass, but seem content ot make your own revisions.

    You are confused. The GPL prevents distribution through the App store because the binary can not be redistributed. The App store removes licensed software (like VLC) because the license holder requests it.

    You apparently live in a reality distortion field. Amazon did not sell DRM free muisc until after Apple made the EMI deal and Amazon has never sold DRM free music that was not available from Apple DRM free. Today Apple has more DRM free music than Amazon.

    Stop commenting about things you clearly were not paying attention to.
