  1. Re:Good? on Arizona Backs Off Its Speed Camera Program · · Score: 1

    I'd be rather interested to find someone capable of not following all the laws at the same time..

  2. Re:Huh? on Arizona Backs Off Its Speed Camera Program · · Score: 1

    You have raised a point I have been wondering on for a while. It really doesn't work with only two lanes of traffic, especially when in real world conditions you'll have people going faster OR slower than the speed limit in either lane, keeping you from staying in one or the other even if you're trying to do the speed limit. I've done a fair amount of interstate driving and would definitely notice that people tend to keep out of the left lane unless they're passing (usually over the speed limit, but still), though.

    The only time I've heard "percentile" used since taking statistics in high school was when looking at bandwidth costs for VPS hosting.

    Well, Michigan is 70, at least, which made it terribly annoying when driving to PA where I had to slow down to 55 on I-80. Of course, everyone else was going 70 anyway, so you just follow traffic..

    If it weren't for the fact they didn't know any better, watching someone type Facebook or Google (AUGH) into the search bar would cause me to want to punch their face in. The worst part is if they typed it into the location bar it'd probably suggest the right one for them anyway.

    Back in my day we only had h.263 and we liked it!

  9. Re:My Thoughts on Flash Support Confirmed For Android 2.2 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not only has Flash been available on other smartphones (Windows Mobile, N900, etc.) but it's also been available on Android phones with the HTC Sense UI. Now it'll be in every stock 2.2 phone, which will cover hopefully all newer Android-running phones (aka ones running 2.1 now)

  10. Re:Warning Requires Constant Internet Connection on Avatar Blu-Ray DRM Issues · · Score: 1

    Where on Earth (or even Pandora) does it say you need a constant internet connection? They were just implying it has to be downloaded regularly for updates, not constantly.

  11. Re:Well... on Sony Sued Over PS3 "Other OS" Removal · · Score: 1

    All PS3's do still support PS1 games, as they sell them on the PSN as well as for the PSP. Pure software emulation. However, the last models of the PS3 that supported PS2 games were full software emulation, nobody could figure out why Sony took it out (besides from them being Sony)

  12. Re:No. on Does HP + Palm = Facepalm? · · Score: 1

    So my tablet is going to have an i7 processor and a nice, real dedicated graphics card, too? Oh wait, that's my laptop.

    Yes. Because I want to do my software development from a tablet.

    Idiot.

  14. Re:Well... on Sony Sued Over PS3 "Other OS" Removal · · Score: 1

    I don't think they ever retroactively removed the ability to play PS2 games from the older hardware that supports it. The new hardware won't let you, but it also isn't advertised as supporting it. (Like how the Slim didn't support Other OS either)

    Did you even read the article you linked?

    Now we have the Apple A4, a brand new design for a SoC produced and owned by Apple, using the same ARM architecture that powers the iPhone.

  18. Re:Google should be buying stock on Apple To Buy ARM? · · Score: 1

    Why? Google doesn't make hardware.

  19. Re:Neat hack, but ultimately useless on Android Ported To iPhone · · Score: 1

    No, they're just whining because they probably have a G1 with not enough RAM in the first place. Android kills processes when memory is needed, it's not like WinMo where all the apps stay open. I have a Droid and haven't had any memory-related problems either, and I use my phone quite a lot.

  20. Re:Neat hack, but ultimately useless on Android Ported To iPhone · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately you won't get it, because having Google Maps requires a Google-branded Android device, which an iPhone is not.

    The only 'limits' on the Droid are the locked bootloader (which is completely normal). Skype was a software choice by Skype and Verizon, not a hardware related one.

    Yeah, because allowing your employees to take top secret standalone devices in public is the best way of keeping something secret.
