Comment Duh. (Score 1) 542

There is cheating in college?! No way. A lot of the papers including research and also computer science classes are full of cheating. People would pay $100 a project that took you maybe 2 hours if you knew what you are doing and near$1,000 for research papers. Its become a pretty marketable business and there is a lot of sites that have always taken advantage of it. It will always win too since the work people are doing for paying "client" is submitted to the person and not posted online to get caught by plagiarism crawlers.

With all the drones and rovers we have sent there, I fell like something would have shown up and wondered WTF that silver thing thats driving around is. Intelligent life is random in the galaxy based on a lot of theories. I personally think we should stick to that and come up with ways to find resources we can harvest on other planets then trying to build a Moon or Marse base. Bringing back massive ships of minerals and compounds from the moon, mars and other nearby planets is a lot closer than the idea of surviving millions of miles from Earth.

It is pretty wild to see but come on, if she was really talking on a cell phone/satellite phone: a) was there capable towers and satellites at that time to even communicate with b) why isn't no one freaking out that some lady is talking on a "future device" It was probably a two way radio or other device. Most of that stuff was around in the early 1920's.

I think they aim the game for the more general public. Games are getting more mainstream than ever so there is the line to stay on that keeps the casual gamer into your game and the hardcore gamer motivated. MW2 and Halo have done a good job with the multiplayer to keep the game fun along with adding the special ops part as something different but if a game wants to be big in the large public, its gotta have more of a store line and fun factor than complexity IMO.

Exactly. This and also net neutrality are why we need to get more younger voters out there and voting against this crap. The large voter base thats above the tech generation just sees "anti-terrorist" and thinks they are doing the country a favor by voting for this garbage.

Comment Promoters (Score 2, Informative) 174

I am also seeing that more and more people are calling them promoters and advertisers by adding 1,000 friends on there and don't realize the information they are disclosing. The biggest example is the Palin email account hacking that most of the answers to security questions was found in her Facebook.

If you work in a support field, you are on call. I have worked in data and voice engineering since I was in college and have been required to be on call as the systems you maintain are business critical. One job was not paid however the one I currently am with now pays 3 extra hours of normal wages the week you are on call for the inconvenience and every call that comes in from the automated system that requires work you are allowed to take over time on. These customers rely on their systems to do business so any smart company will pay their employees accordingly to take care of them. Money doesn't help with the pain of being woken up in the middle of the night but you at least get more willing and helpful employees IMO and experience

Comment In What Network? (Score 1) 220

MMS almost crashed ATT's network along with constant complains that the iPhone strains ATT heavily..... how the heck are they gonna handle VoIP traffic when they can barley keep calls up in major cities? I am all for this idea and think its great but be real people.
