You have a false sense of security. Mac and Ubuntu are not nearly as secure as you think. You're just not a target. Once you become a target, you'll be dead in the water.

I believe you need itunes to upgrade your iphone and use the itunes store and update this and that. As far as I know, there's no native way to run itunes on linux. If there is, please let me know.

Comment How can they say this? Or am I just confused? (Score 1) 534

Didn't they come out and say that it was a problem with the antenna? Didn't they encourage everyone to buy the bumper thing to fix this problem?

Now its a software problem? Are they going to refund all the people who bought bumpers because Apple said its the way to fix the issue?

I'm not an iphone user, or Apple user, but I don't know how you can release two statements that describe two completely different versions of what is going on.

Comment Consolidation of Lawsuits (Score 1) 134

I'm not sure where all the lawsuits are coming from, but requesting civil lawsuits being moved to a specific location seems like bullying to me. The same tactic Microsoft was slammed on this page for a while back in India or China or where-ever they were fighting with people. I realize it was MS going after people and its people going after Google, but the crime should be tried where it took place.

It seems like they hope those people would drop the case if it meant an extra expense for them.

I think I see what you're saying. The cycling of the emissions will eventually lead it to losing its potency? But, doesn't that only to apply to known methods?

Someone else replied to my post with something about bacteria. Now, what if you're not really changing the input and emissions, but the biological system grows and depletes upon input/output? Like, say you're feeding bacteria something that makes the population double, the new population emits pollution and energy, then half the population dies. Feed the pollution back into the system and it regrows.

I don't think this type of biological system would violate any laws of physics, because the 2nd law of thermodynamics would be respected since the state of the system is what is in flux. Right?

I'm not a physicist or expert on energy, but I think there must be a way to live with the things we want without having such a harsh bi-product.

Something that would be nice, is a power-source that feeds off its own emissions in order to ELIMINATE (not reduce) pollution in the environment. Meaning a power source that takes the pollution we've already caused, and uses it to produce energy somehow. Input pollution, output pollution, pipe output stream back to input stream.

Or what if they could create a biological energy source that fed off organic substances the way our bodies do? That would be nice.

I'm pro-alternative energy sources, I don't care if someone gets rich from it. We need to change what we're doing.
