Comment Re:Should have been kept quiet? (Score 1) 180

Yes, the blimps have been there for a long time, but little suspicion has been drawn about them until now. They were just camera platforms for the game. Now they are full surveillance packages. Had they just inserted them quietly, I think it would have been more effective. Oh, but here I am assuming you know anything about intelligence gathering and tactics. Silly me. Though, the tricky part them becomes determining which ones have the package, and which ones do not. Anyways, I think you should understand the point of the reply before being stupid. :P

Comment Not surprised (Score 1) 582

I am honestly not surprised at this. Dr's seem to be particularly crappy at diagnosing this disease. It took my dad hundreds of hours of researching medical files, books, and various documents till he was able to diagnose my mom likewise. Since then, she has been in much better health. Before then, she had seen numerous doctors, none of which were able to appropriately diagnose her.

So, I want to know who thought it was a good idea to go digging through Elephant dung in the first place? I mean, sure they lucked out and found a new species, but what were they really expecting to find? What are you looking for when you go digging through a big steaming pile of elephant dung.

"Oh, hey! Frogs! Ok, now who is gonna pick them out.?" :P

Comment Android would be awesome (Score 1) 84

I am not a big fan of Dell's Tech support, but I have been buying their laptops for awhile anyways. They have always done me well. My latest purchase is a Dell Mini 9 with Ubuntu. Absolutely love the machine.

I find it a little amusing that a friend and I were discussing the very possibility of Google coming out with their own computer OS, and debating whether or not it would be a variant of Android, or something else they have been cooking up. So, we are happy to see google talking about offering android as an OS alternative.

I love linux, but I would be more than willing to give Android a try, as I have seen a lot of good things come out and through their phones.

As far as OEMs offering equivalent open source programs on their machines in junction with windows OS, and in lieu of Micro$oft software, I think it would be a good move on their part, and hope to see them make the move in the near future. I wonder if the EC antitrust suit would have any affect on this.

Comment RIAA Faceplant anyone? (Score 1) 221

I would like the motion to pass so I can watch the RIAA face plant as they try to maintain such flimsy cases in the face of common sense and reason.

The fact that they have stopped pursuing any additional Individual cases shows us just how futile their efforts really are... even they recognize it.

Do they have any more legs to stand on?

Wow. As if Microsoft's overpriced software, and DRM stick beatings weren't bad enough. Now we get to slowly bleed to death while using them.

No thanks.

Besides... does anyone really think it will be the kids paying for it? No... it will be the parents. Yay... lets punish the parents even more.
