  My problem with the RSS ads is that sometimes they're just plain inappropriate. I've been biting my tongue about it, but now seems like a good time to speak up.

  I took some time trying to parse what Intel had to do with cellphone records, thought they were too busy making processors.

  on Wireless Carriers Sue Over Berkeley's Cell Phone Radiation Warnings
  I think so. In this case, I think he's referring to radiation in the terms thermal radiation, you know, like heat radiating from a radiator. Or specifically, from the battery exploding.

  I don't see how the iPad is killing Jobs, he seems to be able to afford plenty of turtlenecks.

  Re: Re: Pointless Babbling is the point

  on Pointless Babble Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
  I'm just saying that I see alot of emphasis placed on twitter being a protocol used for notification, but given its limitations. it doesn't seem a useful replacement for RSS to me. Of course Twitter can be a useful tool when used for actual communication, but RSS appears to be a better protocol for notification purposes, that still has the capability to change, if it ever does become the horse and buggy.

  Pointless Babbling is the point

  on Pointless Babble Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
  My only problem with Twitter is when it ISN'T used for pointless babble, because when it isn't "babbling", it winds up getting used as a replacement for RSS, but RSS doesn't need replacing, that's why we have it.

  on What's Next? Can Senators Ban Stupidity While Driving?
  Thank you for bringing up full keyboards and touchscreens, I was at a loss reading all the other comments, wondering who these people are who send SMS messages frequently enough to do it while driving without having the positions of the numbers on their phones well enough memorized to spell most any word without even needing to look at their screen.
  
  Texting is really a simple process, that can be done safely so long as you have a decent entry device for writing with one hand, like a numpad.

  So if it's in the game, you show me how to get to it with an unmodded copy.

  on Lawyers Work Hard To Protect Us From Grand Theft Auto's Hot Coffee Mod. Your Cut? $5.
  There should be no controversy, Hot Coffee isn't even in the game unless you change the game code, which is certainly something you have to choose to do, and really isn't easy on any platform other than PC.
