  1. Re:Too little too late... on 35 Articles of Impeachment Introduced Against Bush · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would rather they keep the war overseas instead of letting it start here in my yard.
    The domestic spying thing is just and extension of keeping an eye on the danger instead of pretending it isn't there till after the domesting war bombs go off. Let me guess, you don't mind illegal, unwarranted tapping of your phone because you have nothing to hide?

    We are suppose to have a reactive system that assumes everyone is innocent then proves them as guilty. Not a proactive system that finds people guilty before they do anything.
  2. Re:they better check out North Haverbrook first... on Transportation Bill Sets Aside $45 Million For MagLev Train · · Score: 1

    The ring came off my pudding can.

  3. Customer backlash? on Verizon Wireless To Buy Alltel For $28B · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No doubt the Alltel customers who are use to My Circle and relatively un-crippled phones compared to Verizon will not like this.

    Would customers be able to get out of their contacts when they merge?

  4. Re:Slashdot.co.uk? on London Lawyers Demand £600 For One Game · · Score: 1

    That settlement seems reasonable compared to the RIAA ones. Had this been in the US it would've a $6,000 settlement. Well with the conversion rate today maybe it is.

  5. Re:Blackjack and hookers on Party Ideas For Math Nerds? · · Score: 1

    No, no, no. You screw the hookers.

  6. Re:No Bid on EBay Mulling Skype Sale · · Score: 1

    People are always going to be more vocal when things go wrong.

  7. Venders aren't always enemies on Can You Access Your Own Cash Register Data? · · Score: 1

    A large gas station chain that I was on the tech support team for used Palm POS. http://portal.pinncorp.com/Pinnacle/Default.aspx?tabid=58 While you might think vender lock-in, note that using someone else's POS system makes them accountable. I'm sure your client would prefer to run his business than worry about his computer and POS systems. Palm POS can export journals to SQL or XML in real time so he could use any custom front end he wanted to view the data or just use the viewer that ships with the setup.

  8. Re:Yahoo Video on Flickr Adds Video Capabilities to Service · · Score: 1

    With it being limited to 90 seconds, I think they are using flickr as an online iPhoto. iPhoto allows videos from your point and shoot to be organized with the pictures. Yahoo Video and YouTube are more suited for stuff made in iMovie or Windows Movie Maker.
