Snopes or the Onion

Has any one checked Snopes on the Onion? I mean this sound like a third rate spy book. The kind you see for 25 cents and the thrift shop. Or 5 pence for the UK readers.

Why not use this x.y.z Were X is the major release number Y is a bug fix on minor update and Z is bug fix. Like 4.2.1

Re: No network = No Work

They said they were going to tape over the NIC. That would seem to imply no network. But hey what do I know I'm just a stupid yank.

Re: How does this work?

SIP was originally designed by Henning Schulzrinne and Mark Handley in 1996. In November 2000, SIP was accepted as a 3GPP signaling protocol and permanent element of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture for IP-based streaming multimedia services in cellular systems.

So some is late to the party.

Re: Long live...Die poor.

"-If you bought a car online the merchant/seller would collect sales tax per their states laws from you & you would pay registration & title fees in your state of residence. Assuming you bought it from someone who sold more than $10mil worth of car a year (that's a lot of cars)."

Actually you pay the taxes in the state you live in, not the state you bought the car from. In the US you are suppose to pay the sales tax to the state you live in, not the state you buy from. Realistically there is no system set up for this.

Re: Farm it out

As an American I agree with you . When ever I hear my fellow countrymen talks bad about socialism I ask them to define what socialism is. For some reason I never get an answer.

Re: Hmmm

Most of the new CHP cars I see are doge chargers. The ford explores are used for commercial trucking enforcement. Which is why you won't see many of them.

Re: Androids are Instantly Obsolete

" Androids is that they are basically unsupported, and once you buy one the typical manufacturer has no further interest in you. If you want a bug fix, buy a new phone (in two years when your contract is up, or right now with a fat roll of cash)"

clearly that's not true. I have gotten bug fixes.

You said you will get the latest OS update the Iphone can handle. my Andriod phones has the latest OS it can handle. Right now my Driod 4 has 4.1.2 on it. Considering that 4.2 is the latest OS I would say that's damn good.

Of course you hole premise was that andriods do not get updates. When I proved that wrong you changed to well does it get the latest up date even thought you said the Iphone gets the latest update it can handle. latest update and latest update it can handle are not the same.

Re: Anti trust

Re: Anti trust

I'm thinking they want to get people on chrome to track you. IF enough people are on chrome, google can make it hard not to see ads. Banning ad block and no script.

Anti trust

Is just me , or does any one else see this coming. You are using google products and a it says best viewed with chrome. You are using google products and it's not quit working right with your browser and you get a pop that says best viewed with chrome as it's code for some non standards HTML that chrome does.

Re: Software piracy as a metric?

That would be nice idea if it was not for the culture difference. Foot ball is an an easy draw for out side money. Take a look to see how much that money came from out side boosters to build that stadium. Now ask them for money to build a science lab or better library. thos some outside people will tell you to take a hike.

Re: Telling if a number is a cell?

If the number has not been ported, the prefix will tell you that the number is a cell, the phone company that owns it and the geographical area were the number is housed. Even thought my number is ported it still comes up a cell number belonging to att and it's a San jose number.

Re: Telling if a number is a cell?

Re: Stop the threats

I always that was BS. Freedom of speech does not equal freedom to be heard. I'm paying for the phone line.

if the same people kept on knocking on your door and you kept telling them to go away, you can hit them with trespassing . Why does a phone call make it different ? It's not like they are doing it on some thing publicly owned.
