  1. Can they keep the dummies longer too? on New Plan Lets Top HS Students Graduate 2 Years Early · · Score: 1

    There are far too many kids graduating today whom I wouldn't even hire to wipe their own asses!

  2. Re:2020 arrives, Big Brother WILL be watching you on FCC Proposes 100Mbps Minimum Home Broadband Speed · · Score: 1

    Dude, my entiments exactly, but we're both way behind the curve on this one!

  3. Re:What's next? on FCC Proposes 100Mbps Minimum Home Broadband Speed · · Score: 1

    Well, you see Obama can fire CEO's - is anything else supprising?

  4. Re:100Mbps minimum is a start... on FCC Proposes 100Mbps Minimum Home Broadband Speed · · Score: 1

    You make it sound like we are prostituting our own people for whatever we can squeeze out of them before they wake up - which they never do.

  5. What's up their sleeve? on FCC Proposes 100Mbps Minimum Home Broadband Speed · · Score: 1

    If the FCC, (government), wants this speed, then what does that allow them to do? What could you do with that if you were in their shoes and had their resources?

  6. The first shuttle launch......today on Shuttle Endeavour Blasts Off For Space Station · · Score: 1

    I remember when a television was wheeled my third grade classroom for the first shuttle launch. And now you'd be hard pressed to find a third grader who knows what a space shuttle is, let alone know where Cape Canaveral is or even what it's famous for. NASA has left a huge wake of technology that we all benefit from. Hey, maybe China will foot the bill or buy NASA out. We've sold them everything else, why not cash in on our infrastructure while we're at it. Anyone else want to vomit? The times they are a changin'

  7. Re:Gotta love statistics on Criminals Prefer Firefox, Opera Web Browsers · · Score: 1

    What is their definition of criminal? Oh no! What if it includes "suspicious activity"; we're doomed! I remember a story where someone having a linux partition on their computer in college was accused of being a hacker.

  8. Re:Progression on Driver's License to be the Next Debit Card · · Score: 1

    Just wait until they figure out they can transmit instructions to RFID implants!

    The answer(s) depends on how political you are.

  10. Old Fashioned Countermeasures Still Work! on Laptops And Flat Panels Now Vulnerable to Van Eck Methods · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The Commodore 64 Blue Book had a section on this. It talked about how to shield your environment by enclosing a room with screen and grounding it. It also mentioned to coat your power cords with a certain paint high in sulfur content. I also suggest taking measures to prevent access and emissions from your grounding rod, if you're connected to a public utility. That also prevents your light bulb from being used as a microphone.

  11. Pesky on Windows Buyers Pay Patent Tax of $21.50 ? · · Score: 0

    Well, one thing to point out is that by OEM being cheaper, it shows they just might be penalizing that pesky do-it-your-selfer!

  12. Oh yeah, get a load of this! on Fun and Profit With Obsolete Computers · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I still have a Commodore Plus 4. And before I got the disk drive, I had to retype all my programs in. That's how I learned to type faster. But anyway, think about how many XP users will hang on with a death grip! I'm a news director at a radio station and I love to talk about how Microsoft is screwing the consumer! It's so easy to do when Microsoft keeps providing such excellent examples such as Vista! After all, aren't they a part of the dumbing down of America. I then talk about Linux, which keeps getting better all the time.

  13. Donkey what? on Donkey Kong Recreated Using 6,400 Post-it Notes · · Score: 1

    Can anyone tell me where the F&*@ are the donkeys? Anybody else ever question that?

  14. Have a nice diurnal anomoly on Tatooine's Double-Sunset a Common Sight · · Score: 1

    In Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, one of the planets had two suns & people would say, "Have a nice diurnal anomaly."
