  1. Re:zero-client ATM on Diebold Marries VMs with ATMs to Secure Banking Data · · Score: 1

    It is amazing. The headline should read: Diebold realizes it has negligently stored customer data on ATM machines.

    Why have ATM machines ever stored any customer data?

    Or , perhaps Iow proportionally allocates delegates ( I have no idea) and therefore the difference is meaningless. From a publicity standpoint, the man who hate everyone could not have asked for a better outcome.

  4. Re:So... what's the difference? on Mathematics Says Romney and Santorum Tied In Iowa · · Score: 1

    You think. I agree it is a worthless lot, but Santorum and Romney are in no ways similar. Santorum is a radical, right-wing-religious-zealot-lunatic. Most sane republicans would prefer 4 more year of Obama,

    At a time when the republican party should be moving away from religious zealotry and towards fiscal conservatism, 25% I totally lost and voted for Santorum, another 25% voted for Romney because he has run 75 time and they know who he is.

    Let's elect Bush(Santorum) again, Obama is apparently not runnin up the debt fast enough for the new Republican party.

    Integrity? They got caught and are trying to cover their asses. This is actually the opposite of integrity. Integrity would be not doing it in the first place.

    How would you like to be refuted? Government or University research? Do you prefer research from public or private universities? US, Canda, or even Europe for fun?

    You should really watch extremist statements. They bury your point (the question over scarce resources may be valid) under a pile of your own nonsense.

    The answer to your questions is yes it is a viable option in the classroom and for home schoolers. Your wife apparently is in need of in service training on classroom management. She is doing her students a disservice. They are all suffering because she does not have control of the class room.

    It is only important to Google so they can claim this mess is winning and get their real customers on board. The advertisers. Eventually the world will catch on. Android is actually not a thing. Most developers already know this.

    If google did that,they could no longer pretend their hodgepodge of unrelated devices is somehow a unified platform that is "winning". All we really need to know about smart phones is the 3GS got iOS 5...

    Your comparison statement makes no sense. Literally, the statement actually is totally un-fathomable. It is a shame you wrote so much after it. Most readers are going to give up in the first paragraph. It seems like you we saying all models of S2 outsell the individual colors of the 2 year old iPhone 4 (wow?), but do not outsell the iPhone 4s. It is possible you dropped an s in the first sentence. In that case you are simply saying short head-to-head sales of te just released S2 are about 1/2 the 4s. You then tried to spin that into something else.

    You are clearly not a mobie developer, it s not even lose for anyone making apps that challenge the hardware. Writing for "Android" is writing for many smaller platforms, not one bigger one.

    Samsung sold 10 million of those in 2010. The 30 million figure is for the life of the model. This makes your Apple number 20-30 million light. I assume you already knew this.

    I believe his concern is developers will write to the new version, leaving everyone who bought thei phone 2 months ago in the cold. Most Android phones ( mst of the market hare). Never get a major OS upgrade. How many three year old phones will run ICS? I know in a supported way this answer is 0. I am sure ome hacker will make it work, but who cares. That ability isn't any more relevant than considering jailbroken devices.

    The board will look at how profitable the company is. They actually think a lot more strtegically than you do. If a bunch of Ndroid manufacturers want to continue to destroy their companies trying to undercut Appke on price, I am sure Apple's board will welcome the drop in Market share..

    Having the most used and most sustainable business model actually is good for consumers. If your not buying a Samsung phone, it is iffy that your Android manufacturer will still be in the phone business next year.

    No Android phone has ever outsold the iPhone. You make the same mistake TFA does. You assume everything calling itself Android can be considered a single coherent platform. It can not. It is not. It never has been. Unless something drastically changes in Android land, it never will be.

    Like Apple's data center, Samsung is paying more in property taxes than the previous landowner. The Tax breaks given to company are discounts over the property taxes on their $9 billion plant. Not for the taxes the previous land owner paid. Why do people think that giving a discount to incent someone to build something in a district means the company is paying no taxes. This is a net gain of millions of dollars per year in property taxes.
