Comment The Bad News is (Score 1) 58

But if this is run on iOS6 it might show total inaccuracies. The API might return valid voting locations if I put in the address of my local cemetery, or if I pass the API more than one address at a time. And we know that dead people can't vote, and that people can't vote more than once. Wait...what?

Comment While not in an area of space considered habitable (Score 1) 97

"While not in an area of space considered habitable"... Do they just mean because of its proximity to it's sun? Or, is that star considered to be in an area of space that is inhabitable? Not that it makes that much difference I guess, but being 20 miles from the surface of a star makes me think, "no shit sherlock". But if it is the area of space of that star makes me go, "hmm", and then "why are we looking there?".

Possibly true, but only if your solution really is superior and not just your opinion. I worked with a guy about 8 years ago that I still consider to this day to be the most intelligent human being I ever met. He knows more about, well everything, than I could ever hope to. From hardware, to multiple software languages, to physics, to conjugating verbs, to how the posi-trac works in a 1968 Buick. But the system we maintained was such a steaming pile of spaghetti code and scripts he was the only one that could make anything work. Great for him and his job security on that system, but nobody wants to bring him in on other projects because they don't want the same thing to happen...

I agree. Plus, for some reason I get the idea Netflix like to make money, and the best way for them to make money is to have more paying customers. I don't see much change of them intentionally excluding potential customers. They are trying to get the biggest bang for their buck by going after what they think will draw the most customers. I think they have been pretty successful at that to this point. Just wait, they will get a Linux client out there.
