  1. Re:This should be NASA's focus on Captured Comet Becomes Moon of Jupiter · · Score: 1

    Troll? That was a joke, some people really have no sense of humor.

  2. Re:Almost competing on Windows 7 Upgrade Can Take Nearly a Day · · Score: 1

    Took me 1 hour on my desktop for a clean install and just over 1.5 hours on my laptop for an upgrade from Vista. My laptop now, which was super slow with Vista, runs much faster. Sure it could take a full day for an upgrade... on a Commodore 64! ;-)

    That would be "Giovian" not Jupiterian.

    NASA should be spending most - if not all - of its budget preparing to avert a comet/asteroid from hitting earth

    They already did: They created Jupiter!

  5. Re:Fleeing "Power Sellers"? I'm OK with that. on eBay Denies New Design Is Broken, Blames Users · · Score: 1

    You have no fucking idea of who or what you are talking about. Power Seller status can be reached by anyone making a certain number of sales and keeping that number for a certain amount of time. There's no evil in it, I have a friend who was a power seller simply by selling his huge collection of toys from the 70s. Power Sellers are real people, not necessarily some company based in Taiwan. You talk out of your ass.

    Did my post tell you in any way that I told Slashdot and not my congressman? Don't make assumptions. One thing doesn't exclude the other.

    Meanwhile their Turbo Lister software was released nearly 10 years ago and it's still the piece of software that crashes the most and the most randomly of all the software I have ever owned (including Windows ME). Dozens of thousands of users complaints have been thrown into the trash bin. Ebay is always right.

  8. Always the same story on eBay Denies New Design Is Broken, Blames Users · · Score: 4, Insightful
    With eBay it's always the sellers' fault. Power Sellers have dropped by the thousands, including myself, because of eBay policies. Starting 1.5 to 2 years ago they decided it was time to screw sellers to make buyers happy. There are several lawsuits against ebay/paypal (same company). People have had their PayPal funds blocked for myself (a friend of mine included) of up to several thousand dollars sending these sellers to bankrupt. Since Paypal is not a bank and the U.S. Government of course doesn't regulate this random financial entity account owners are screwed. With PayPal is always the same story, when things don't work they'll tell you it's your fault. They're always right.

    In Italy I never have to remove my shoes, but I feel security there is more thorough than in the U.S.

    Every time I pass through security they entirely check my camera equipment, asked me to turn cameras on, remove lens caps on both sides and they look into it, etc. In the States I was able to walk twice through with a Nalgene bottle filled with water. I actually saw a man complaining about not being able to take his bottle of water in LAX and the security officer offered a manual inspection (both people belong to the same race which I won't state because I'm going to pretend that didn't have anything to do with it). Other people were refused the same treatment.

    Don't talk crap. You have no idea how much rent costs or food or anything else. Where do you get your numbers from? You think everywhere prices are the same? I could hardly live any more frugally, I was studying and working all day long while other students where at the beach. I hate people who make assumptions.

    I took 18 credits per semester and graduated in 3.5 years with 3.7 GPA and honors in a private university. I also had 3 jobs. School is really not that hard in the States. Of course the downside is that it cost me a crapload of money which I'm still paying and forever will.
