  1. Re:Er- why? on German Ban On Doom Finally Lifted · · Score: 0

    mod +1 please...

  2. Re:Brit perspective on UK Government Wants To Kill Net Neutrality In EU · · Score: 1

    My history had Brit roots of democracy seeded in 1066

    Interesting.. I've never heard this before. In what way were the British roots of democracy seeded in 1066? The only thing that comes to my mind in 1066 was the Norman conquest, culminating at the Battle of Hastings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hastings)

  3. List of Sci-Fi books on Decent Book Clubs for Sci-Fi Fans? · · Score: 1

    This might have already been mentioned... but for a list of "award winners", you can check out the Hugo Awards: http://www.thehugoawards.org/.

    I find that these books tend to be pretty good.

  5. Re:Expats? on National ID Cards Mandated in the US, If You're Under 50 · · Score: 1

    My first reaction was "typical!" considering I no longer have a state driver's license anymore. Then I RTFA... :-)

    Chertoff said that in instances where a particular state doesn't seek a waiver, its residents will have to use a passport or a newly created federal passport card if they want to avoid a vigorous secondary screening at airport security.

    I do have a passport...

    And the wording of this paragraph is great...

    "The last thing I want to do is punish citizens of a state who would love to have a REAL ID license but can't get one," Chertoff said. "But in the end, the rule is the rule as passed by Congress."

    C'mon... how many people would love to have a REAL ID license.

  6. Re:Neglect on Sys Admin Magazine Ceases Publication · · Score: 1

    Yep... I did the same thing. I noticed that a lot of the articles were tailored to very specific problems. Or a solution to a business case which didn't really interest me. Of course, some of the articles were interesting reading but most of the time, they didn't do too much for me.

    I subscribed for almost 6 years but the during the last two, I just skimmed through it. So, why renew? I didn't see that it was worth the money for a "question and answer" section, in which the questions could be just as easily answered online, i.e. newsgroups, forums, etc...

    lol.. Thank you for this post. :-)

    Didn't work on OpenOffice 2.1 on Linux either.. :-(

  9. Please have them... on Two Major Debian Releases In One Day · · Score: 1

    update their news... or have I overlooked it somewhere?

  10. sounds like a movie... on The Virtual Teacher · · Score: 1

    Why does this remind me of the avatar librarian from Time Machine?

  11. Re:It will backfire on RIAA Going After a 10-Year-Old Girl · · Score: 1

    I don't know... this whole RIAA litigation business makes me think.... Does the name Custer mean anything to them? If you have a few people with a lot of money trying to force their way, it will eventually turn into a major disaster. Especially when the majority don't agree with their actions.

    I think the RIAA's time is coming. When? Good question, but I do think it'll happen.

  12. Re:This is why... on RIAA Going After a 10-Year-Old Girl · · Score: 1

    Yep... that's what bothers me about the RIAA the most. It's still people who litigate. There are still individuals who make the decisions. What utter ***hole sits at home at night (probably with his wife and kids) and decides.... "Yea! Let's sue that little girl for all she might ever be worth!"

    They obviously and sadly have no shame...

  13. Re:Bullshit on Bilingualism Delays Onset of Dementia · · Score: 1

    Yes, I would agree with you... I have met many an American married to a German who speak extremely poor german. One case in particular... he's been here as long as I have (14 years) and still can't order from a menu.
