Comment Not to shocked (Score 1) 345

The DoD is well known for changing the specs of a project constantly through out the life time of a program so I'm not surprised the update in the 90s failed it probably had 5,000+ changes from it's initial concept and then you add in the required corruption and incompetence needed to be a government employee or contractor and it makes perfect sense it failed.

Comment Re:Royalty? Just say no. (Score 2) 214

You do realize the UK Government makes more money off the Queen then they pay to support her right? The Queen and her family still own all of the royal lands they are leased to the Government in exchange for them supporting the royal family. The lands make 130+ million pounds a year for the government and the royal family only costs around 40 million to support and it all reverts back to the royal family if the government stops supporting them as stupid people seem to want them to do which mean taxes would have to be raised to cover the shortfall.

Its disabled on the phones shipping now the first couple of months band 4 lte was fully functional which while worthless on AT&T for the most part does allow use of it on the new T-Mobile LTE network which is on band 4. Google eventually updated the Nexus 4 which killed the accidental LTE support so now you have rollback and use an old modem firmware and certain roms like CM10

Well Disney is doing Marvel universe movies every year so a Star Wars based movie might not be so bad since they can do sequels or prequels maybe they'll do a series of Revan movies or a Yoda movie it's hard to say given what they have to pick from. Though I wouldn't expect them to hold to the canon histories exactly which will piss off the star wars nerds but to be more like how they're doing IronMan and the Avengers movies compared to the comics.
