    You forgot the microwave to melt the cheese.

  3. Re:Ultimately.... on No Right to Privacy When Your Computer Is Repaired · · Score: 1

    Saying "Well the guy was my client so I had to protect his privacy." won't go over well with investigating police, the judge, the jury, or the guy you end up spending time with.
    Which is were the Sodomsky part comes in...
  4. Should be the other way around on Radio May Have To Pay To Play · · Score: 1

  8. Re:That's nothing. on What's New in Blade Runner - The Final Cut? · · Score: 1

    I actually got to see some of the hand wire wrapped systems built to compile the graphics for Tron. It was a little company out in Westlake Village Ca. I can't remember their names it was like MPI (but not MPI made 5 1/4" 360k floppy drives) or something. Any ways just a flash back.

  9. Just how much of any donation on Dvorak Slams OLPC As 'Naive Fiasco' · · Score: 1

    makes it to were it is needed? I think thats the real question. I hear tell much of if it is used as administrative costs and whats left more often then not is either stolen by third world bureaucracy or diverted as a means of local genocide.

  10. Re:messy Bio-diesel details on Microfluidic Chips Made With Shrinky Dinks · · Score: 1

    If I read the article correctly the shrinky dink is actually used as a master to mold copies. If thats so then perhaps there would be a way to make those large number of capillary tubes?

  11. I read somewhere about a process on Microfluidic Chips Made With Shrinky Dinks · · Score: 3, Interesting

    that used fine grooved plastic(?) to combine methenol and vegetable oil to make pure bio diesel with out all the messy steps. I wonder if shrinky dinks would work to produce those same grooves?

  12. Reminds me of the guy on OLPC Lawsuit-Bringer Has Past Fraud Conviction · · Score: 1

    who tried to take down Mambo over "copywrited" three column code. Worlds full of snakes.

  16. Re:A little off topic... on Sesame Street DVD Deemed Adult-Only Entertainment · · Score: 1

    It's even worse as the idea of what is right become what is accepted or at least the correct idea of the moment.

  17. We pulled the plug on Sesame Street DVD Deemed Adult-Only Entertainment · · Score: 1

    years ago on this once wonderful show, I'm 43 and I can remember watching this with my little sister and brother but today the show seem more like an eduction in double speak and lowest common denominator then the three R's. It's a shame this crap has crept into every kids show on the air and we gave up last month. I'm now saving $60.00 buckas a month and we rent or purchase what we want the kids to watch. Your loss PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS. My only regret is loosing Discovery and TLC.

  18. So thats why they're on Crime Reduction Linked To Lead-Free Gasoline · · Score: 2, Funny

    painting my kids toys with lead based paint!

  19. Microsoft should scap Vista on Driver Update Can Cause Vista Deactivation · · Score: 1

    and concentrate on saving its ass in the mobile phone market before Linux and OSX eats it's lunch there to.

  20. Re:Not a dump truck on United Makes Plans to Drop 'Baggage Neutrality' · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When I was doing VTC installs on the west coast I usually flew Southwest and it was great because I just wanted to get there and get home. If I got to the airport early I usually got on an earlier flight no problem, if I was late then I got on a later flight with no extra charges. I packed light personally but had a 50 pound tool kit that never was a problem. I rarly had a reason to bitch about SWA.

    Now the other west coast carrier, America West was a horror story almost every time. I would wait overnight and fly SWA before I got on another AWA flight. We once arrived at the counter at 6:30am an hour before our flight, pre-9/11, only to be told that because we booked the flight over 30 days prior and failed to confirm in the last 24 hours we were bumped. Even though the seats were paid for. Of course they tell us this after our luggage went down the chute, which they told us we could retrieve if we ever got to Portland. Then promised us to get us on the next flight. Fast forward 8 hours and we are still being fed bullshit by the ticket agents, of course I forgot to mention the two little bored kids with us. AAAAAAAAAAAhhhhh never agian AWA we went done the counter and immediately got on a SWA flight, kids got to sit with the pilot during a lay over (pre-9/11 again dang I miss the old days) and arrived 12 hours after our luggage, which was dumped beside a carousel out in the open. Never again AmericaWorst!

  21. I'd rather they have it right on Apple's Missed Opportunity With Leopard Delay · · Score: 3, Insightful

    then early. That alone one ups Vista.

  22. Only when I send a Doc to on Do OpenOffice Users Save In Microsoft Format? · · Score: 1

    someone with more money then smarts. :-) And I send them the ODT as well just to introduce it.

  23. Patent trolls on Linux Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat/Novell · · Score: 1

    should be forced to compensate both the parties sued and the US Patent Office for costs. Any patent holder who is not using his patent in good faith should be forced to move it into the public domain. Do this a few times and they may go away.

    Another possibility involves pitch forks, torches, chain and four F350 Diesel Duallies, you figure it out.

  24. Re:Easy Solution! on Banked Blood May Not Be As Effective As Hoped · · Score: 1

    Brother had a friend that loved those things, now he just drools a lot. Sad.

  25. Now I know on Canadian Mint Claims Rights To Words "One Cent" · · Score: 1

    the world has gone insane. At least I can know point out to my Canadian relatives that America isn't the only country full of stupidity.
