Right now I could use some Mod points. Mod hairyfeet up and Insightful ladies and gentlemen.

You might not like what he's saying, but he's right, and computer technology is not the only industry going this way. Aviation is too.

Droid 4 owner here... I need a battery made with this technology NOW. Maybe then a charge would last a whole work day.

Maybe this will be a test case to seee if the new television drama "Revolution" foretells humanity's reaction to a loss of electrical power, or debunks the portrayal.

Here's hoping its the latter...

I remember, and thank you for the help!

Elected officials which put forth a bill like this should be shown the coast, and have their citizenship revoked. Everyone of the elected officials took an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution. What attempts at law making like this do, is the reciprocal of the oath they took.

I owe Mr. Bradbury and his golden age of science fiction brethern a great deal. It was his writing and that of Wells, Verne, Assimov and others which pulled me up from a path of near illiteracy to being an avid reader.

If there is an after life, I hope Bradbury, Verne, Clark and all the others have already started writing for the inhabitants. They'll be better off for it.

I sincerely hope the server owner and users consider tne equipment hopelessly compromised, and quickly and completely dispose of it.

Lord I wish I Mod points to mod you up!

Clearing throat... AMEN!

I've been using Firefox since Firebird. I've promoted it to I don't know how many users.

Now however I can't recommend it to anyone. It's been one long downward spiral since 3.6.

It has gotten so bad my son loaded Chrome on his notebook out of pure frustration with Firefox.

Sad, really sad...

Please Mozilla, quit breaking extensions and FIX the performance issues. You have to have the data, I've sent enough crash reports to yourself and Microsloth to fill a 1GB drive!

Mr. Malda,

I've been visiting /. for twelve or thirteen years. I was first introduced by a coworker and true geek. I've never reached beyond the level of a wannabegeek, but I've enjoyed /. immensely and learned much from it.

I truly appreciate what you and your partners started so many years ago. I truly hope that your departure is of your own choosing, and amicable.

I sincerely hope that you've been adequately compensated for what you've given the community over the years. I also sincerely hope you find peace, happiness, and compensation in your future.

For myself I want to thank you for having made me look far more intelligent and capable than I really am. Things I have learned of on /. have made me look good on more than one occasion.

Both from me, and many others I know, I simply want to say THANK YOU for /.

J.D.

Agreed. I live in Eastern Canada where they use a lot of salt on the roads this time of year. Even with undercoating, you'll rarely see a car which outlasts it's engine. Usually a car's body rots to pieces before it's mechanically unsuitable for continued use.

There are many cars from as recent as 2000 or 2001 that are full of rust holes from people who don't bother to undercoat.

But don't also forget to buy a bluetooth headset too, because I can't see a mic on that iPad...?

He's doing it perfectly if he wants to continue in obscurity.

I'm not in marketing, but even I have learned in my career that the overused adage "there's no such thing as bad publicity" is almost always true.

To be topical, look at the Apple announcement today. The product they announced was basically a larger version of something they have been selling for 3 years, and yet through absurd "shilling" they have already managed to convince a large segment of the population it's a heretofore unknown tablet created by a supernatural power and discovered by Moses in the desert.
