I understand your metaphor, but it is a disturbing idea to have Verizon in the position of my landlord.

That's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with six minute workout watchapp. Then you're in trouble, huh?

What if the callee has their phone on silent? j/k The "ringer" tone is to let you know the call is going through, and in the case of you calling a cell phone, that the network is trying to connect to your callee. A cell phone gets a signal

They are the system for the flight data. The airlines submit their routing information to ITA and ITA provides the search functionality for most of the travel websites and agencies you use. As others have said, they don't have every airline

That's lovely, but you're not paying attention. It doesn't matter how it's set up. It matters how it preforms. To the non-enthusiast / casual user, closing the lid, pressing the power button, doing a system shutdown, inactivity sleep timeou

Thinkpad T61, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, SSD. Trim down the services you don't need. Cold boot and hibernate restore take about the same time. Honestly, I think the SSD has the most to do with it.

I'm a daily laptop linux user, and like you I know how to go a long time between reboots, so I can wait for my computer to start up. But forget about us, we're already converts, we don't matter. My grandfather (93 years old) is also a daily

I agree. And I agree the the government should use open standards. I just don't like the sensationalism of the article.

Yes, but the author is not. Lobbying is lobbying. It is not interfering. That's my point.

The problem with this article is the sensationalism. Did Microsoft lobby? Certainty, did they "interfere with a sovereign nation's decision to create a level playing-field"? Please, give me a break, they interfered with your desire to do so

You want to be taken seriously, and the first thing you say is that "Android exists because it is a rip off of iOS"? Even if it was true, you've set the tone for your whole article as non-objective and fanboyish. Creating a product, like cr

Because everyone has ideas. Your ideas aren't worth anything. Execution is worth something. Game designers are doing the execution themselves, so you're not worth listening to.

Because sometimes you have a really good idea, and the ability to make it on a small scale, but you need help getting it perfect and making it big. In such a case, it's often advantageous to join up with someone else, get investments, start

For the "do I need...", "is it worth it...", "should I buy..." type of question, I usually rely on my stock answer. "If you have to ask, then no." There are many things like this in technology. Things that are rewarding, things that enhance

This attack method is as old as dirt. Besides, everyone in the world knows once you have physical access to the machine, you can do whatever you want to it. Firewire's DMA buys you nothing when you've already got the keys to the kingdom.
