  2. Re:Great use of police force imo on Police Investigating Virtual Furniture Theft · · Score: 1

    It's a dangerous job catching internet tough guys

    I think you mean it's dangerous catching the Internet Hate Machine.

  3. Here's my two cases on HTML5 vs. Flash — the Case For Flash · · Score: 1

    Here's my two cases for Flash:

    Homestar Runner
    MS Paint Adventures (the current story, Homestuck, has some amazing timed animation/music segments done in Flash)

    Now, yes, Flash could be replaced with someone else. But, as of right now, the animations are done in Flash, not anything else, and I'm still going to visit them (Well, maybe not H*R if they keep not updating, but the long-awaited End of Act 4 for Homestuck ought to be awesome.) There need to be the tools to do the animation work that are as good (to the artists/etc.) as Flash, not just the capacity to play them back.

    There's absolutely nothing stopping you from taking the email client and improving it, or installing another, like K-9. And rather unlike the iPhone, you can choose which application you want to use by default for mail, etc.

    And now that you mention it, here's Wigle.net's map of linksys SSIDs.

  8. Re:Aircraft electronics on Rent an iPad For Inflight Entertainment · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure it's the same here in the US - that when the seatbelt lights go off, you're allowed to use electronics again. What I was referring to is being able to use the armrest audio (not all planes seem to have this, anymore) during taxiing and takeoff, since it's built into the plane, which would still prohibit me from listening to the flight attendant's safety instructions (despite having heard it plenty of times before)

  9. Re:Aircraft electronics on Rent an iPad For Inflight Entertainment · · Score: 1

    I've never had a problem wearing headphones with the on-flight audio system on any flight I've been on, inside the US.

    Nono, it's like with the Zune. "The Social"! So, they have "The Global".

  12. Re:Copyrights on Mark Twain To Reveal All After 100 Year Wait · · Score: 3, Informative

    Nobody. Even if you were using today's rules, it's life + 70 years, which means that it would have expired 30 years ago. That makes this public domain.

  13. Re:#4 Registering for an account on Websites That Don't Need to Be Made Anymore · · Score: 3, Informative

    There is another alternative. It's called OpenID, and it works great. Sites just need to implement it.

    Don't be ridiculous, Apple would never put the hyphen in!

    And then steal it from her again!

  16. Re:You dont steal, you copy. on Why I Steal Movies (Even Ones I'm In) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So if we illegally download bad songs, the owner can't distribute them anymore, because it was stolen from them? Awesome!

    You wouldn't steal a policeman's helmet!

    I didn't mean me, I meant the school might use that as as reason. I guess.

    It probably worked over SMS, too.

  22. Re:That sounds more like a on Twitter Bug Lets Users Force Others To Follow Them · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They're likely sent in-band because most SMS commands are the same as the web interface. You can follow, direct message, etc. through both SMS or the update interface.

    Basically all it does is ruin your teeth?
