  Re: Geometry fail

  If I remember from my geometry, a line is infinite lentgh, therefor a point, by definition cannot be a line. my recollection is that between to point is a segment, not a line. But I may be wrong...

  Re: High prices

  Agreed. I don't pirate books based on pricing, I do it based on availability. If the book is priced too high (and for me anything over $4.99 for most ebooks is too high), I just don't buy it.
  
  If the book isn't available (legally) in electronic format, however...

  You are assuming..

  That's no way to encourage a long term market success.
  
  you are assuming they want long term success. They are only interested in this quarter's numbers, though. Or success until the CEO and get out with the golden parachute. Long term success doesn't enter into the conversation with these folks anymore. They want more money NOW

  I think the problems we see with Obama are the inevitable result of policies and practices from earlier administrations.. You can't entirely blame Obama. I'm not saying you can't blame him at all.. just not entirely. ;)

  So, in other words, in Sweden and Denmark, they want people to pay for the privilege of promoting their newspapers? Well, that's easy, direct people to the same article on a non-Scandinavian site who will be more than happy to get the traffic necessary for the ad revenue... that's asinine!

  I think it would be great if the ITC just imposed injunctions on all of these companies on their smartphones. Perhaps when they can't send their products anywhere in the world, they'll finally understand what a f***ed up mess patents have become.

• On the post: How The Megaupload Shutdown Has Put 'Cloud Computing' Business Plans At Risk

  

  DH's Love Child ( profile ), 17 Feb, 2012 @ 02:08pm

  I don't have any influence on business users

  But, when anyone asks me about cloud computing now I unequivocally tell them to stay the hell away from all of it. Between companies shutting down services with no warning, DRM servers going boom, governments meddling in shit they have no business getting into and big companies railroading completely legitimate services, it's not work the risk of losing your data. I'm telling everyone to invest in a backup system that is hosted where they have complete control - home.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: OR they could let you tether

  Instead of AT&T spending $30 billion to try to buy a competitor perhaps they should, you know invest in their own infrastructure.
  
  Maybe instead of VZW and AT&T spending all those lobbying dollars, they should invest in the infrastructure.
  
  Perhaps, they should have realized BEFORE they started selling data plans that they were going to have capacity and performance issues and marketed accordingly so that they don't have to come back to customers and say "You know that unlimited plan you THOUGHT you had, well...."

  Re: Re: Re: OR they could let you tether

  This is the biggest issue. The carriers way oversold capacity and now, rather than invest in the infrastructure, they're putting all kinds of limits on it. Well, seems to me that if you don't want people to use your service, don't sell it.
  
  As much as I like the idea of always connected devices, I will probably not get one until some carrier gets their shit together and makes it both affordable AND reliable. So far, none of the carriers and provide either with their data connectivity.
