Comment Stop buying cheap phones (Score 1) 177

will provide the greatest mitigation to this condition. I currently use a Pixel that I purchased directly from Google. The battery will die completely before the phone becomes obsolete from a software perspective. It is only the second smart phone I have owned. Before that I probably went through 7 phones since the 90's.

Comment I Love the EFF, but (Score 1) 84

why are they raising this complaint again just as Microsoft 'leaks' details of their Win 10 Cloud 'Chromebook Competitor'? I'm sure any effort by MS to provide a lightweight browser-based OS/laptop will be just as nefarious as a Chromebook, but honestly, the Chromebook does what it does perfectly, and MS only knows how to bloat things up and make them unusable.

Comment Still looking for p2p Video Conferencing (Score 1) 148

We are still in the hosted communications world and I haven't found an application as easy to use as Skype that is p2p.

I want secure p2p video conferencing that I can control and know there is no middle man involved. Cisco might sell it to me for thousands of dollars. I like free better. I looked at Qnext yesterday, which wasn't bad..

Any ideas?

When On the Moon and Mars, Move Underground 294

astroengine writes "Recent observations of the lunar and martian surface are turning up multiple discoveries of 'skylights' — collapsed roofs of hollow rilles or lava tubes. These holes into ready-made underground bunkers could provide ideal shelter for future manned bases on the two worlds. Firstly, they would provide shelter from the barrage of micrometeorites, solar x-rays and deep space cosmic rays. Secondly, they'd help protect our burgeoning colonists from the extreme swings in surface temperature (on the moon, temperatures vary by 500 degrees F, but inside these lava tubes, the environment remains at a fairly constant -35 degrees). Thirdly, the sci-fi notion of underground space cities could become a reality."

A lot of it is just made up like like those bigoted Barrack Husein Obama posters.

Huh? Which one's are those? That's his name..

Ah, herein lies the problem doesn't it? What if I said this was legitimate? Who is going to make that call? You?

It's time for the US to give Texas back to Mexico.

Sure. You just have to get the okay from Texans, who'd probably go independent first. For that matter, they'd probably burn their own cities and salt every farm & ranch before joining Mexico.

..but wait, seriously, no country and western music?
