    10kmph is about 6mph

    It's more accurate to say 8 kph is 5 mph. So 40=25, 88=55, 120=75. I've got a Suzuki with a metric speedometer and the conversion has become second nature. Every cop car has rolling radar and I would like to avoid tickets if at all possible.

    Well at any rate, it stood for a much better pair than Windows ME. (Might Explode)

    I always considered it to mean "Money Extraction". And then they did it again with Vista. So, I'm thinking that the overall Win 8 deployment will be REAL hesitant. It's funny really, just about the time all the Big Boys have vetted Win 7, MS will want everybody on the "we know whats best for you, your programs, and your data" bus they are currently warming up...

  17. Re:God dammit on Man Charged in Model Airplane Plot To Bomb Pentagon · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who reads this and is reminded of the scene in 4 lions with the terrorist who wants to strap dynamite to pigeons to blow up , uh, jews or something.

    Pretty sure if a 757 can't destroy the pentagon, sure as hell a toy airplane with a stick of dynamite taped to it sure as hell wouldn't.

    At some point we're going to realise that most western terrorists are not Bin laden's but angry clowns.

    So you've totally forgotten what the term "security theater" means? Tell the public "C-4" and they envision Hollywood style effects, buildings exploding with flame shooting out every opening, followed by a total implosion style collapse. That may be used as reason to try and take remote control model aircraft away from the common person.

    BTW the 757 body is only 12 ft 4in wide and 13 ft 6in high, and it's not like they could fly in sideways (155 ft 3 in). Even if they could, any outside wall is 921 feet long...

  19. Re: When can we expect them to sue everyone else? on Apple Says Samsung 3G Patents Violate RAND Requirements · · Score: 1

    Uhhh I dunno. Isn't Apple and Lodsys the ones suing everyone else too? I mean seriously. This Apple can do no wrong attitude is really sickening. I don't see Samsung suing HTC, Motorola, etc. ...YET (ftfy)

    I agree many people are in love with Apple for no actually discernible reason. I would like to see Samsung prevail. My point was that IF Samsung prevails over Apple, the other manufacturers are going to want to strike a deal as they would most likely be vulnerable to the same type of suit.

    What I'm really sick of is companies (trolls or actual productive establishments) using IP law to make up for a lack of innovation, or a failure to do R&D, or just because of a plain old "buggy whip manufacturer" mentality.

  20. Re: When can we expect them to sue everyone else? on Apple Says Samsung 3G Patents Violate RAND Requirements · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Even patent trolls start out with one victim... If they took on everyone they would face a mass of lawyers and use up a lot of resources fighting many adversaries at once. If they sue one large corporation and prevail, the next victim is more likely to settle... I'm not saying Samsung is a troll, but if they do only sue ONE infringer I think it might hurt them in court... you either defend you IP or you don't. Then again they could sell licenses cheap the the corporations they choose not to sue.
