  1. lols.. on Australian Schools Go iPad-Crazy · · Score: 1

    Unless they find a carrier to give away those Android tablets, no one will much care when the "wave" hits...

    Except one 99c app like angry birds netted the developers more than the gross of the entire android marketplace..

    Kind of depends if this is a hobby or he wants to make money at it. There is very , very little money in Android apps atm, and that is unlikely to change any time soon.

  7. Re:Educational Problems on Union Boycotts LA Times Over Teacher Evaluation Disclosure · · Score: 1

    I agree with your premise. To do that, you need to:

    1. Get rid of the Teacher's Union. I really don't care if you have to amend the constitution and make it illegal. Public education will remain in the toilet as long as the teacher's unions continue to exist. Union's always have been and always will be against merit pay. If the teacher's union cared at all about high quality education, they would applaud the NYT posting these results. I really want to know if there is a 5th grade teacher with 4th grade reading skills..

    2. Fire every person currently working in school administration. The schools have more than enough money to pay teachers, they squander it all away.
    3. Hold parent's responsible for the acts of their minor children in school. Many of the children's behavior problems in school (really everywhere) can be easily traced directly to apathetic parents.
    4. Execute drug dealers. (Note: this list is in order of importance. The teachers union is a much bigger threat to the children than drug dealers).
    5. Think of the children

    The funniest thing about this is that it has only ever happend in the Android store :) Good try, you are perhaps the most uninformed person on /. Quite an accomplishment.

  10. Re:Cost at large firms on Internal Costs Per Gigabyte — What Do You Pay? · · Score: 1

    You paid $500 a TB for raw storage on a DMX :) Is there a typo in there somewhere, or did you buy it from a guy in times square.

  11. Re:CDW, Newegg, etc on Internal Costs Per Gigabyte — What Do You Pay? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No he wasn't He was talking about the cost he pays to his internal IT for storage. In most companies using a chargeback model for IT services, it does in fact include All of the costs the GP mentioned.

    He did not indicate what storage included at his company, however it is not uncommon to include redundancy and backup in some offerings.. $30 for a gigabyte of replicated tier I storage with backup is still high.

    Your theory only holds true insofar as the slashdotter has not accidentally RTFA'd. If TFA is read, all bets are off.

  14. Re:Interesting Spin in the Summary on Forced iAds Coming To OS X? · · Score: 1

    And Apple makes more profit from the iPhone than all of the Android manufacturers + Nokia make combined off every phone, including non-android phones. Which of course makes your point #2 to utterly ridiculous.

    AT least your point 1 and point 4 show a consistency in convoluted logic.

    You are fairly clueless and obviously have little exposure to people who work with technology.

    It will still outsell every other smartphone (perhaps even non-smartphone) handset on the market and Apple will remain more profitable in the phone industry than its 5 nearest competitors combined.

    It is entirely possible that difference in dropped calls is just all the lunatics trying to duplicate what they saw on the Internets. "Look Ma, I made the call drop" and then they will just not do that again.
