  2. Re:Statute of limitations on South Carolina Woman Jailed After Failing To Return Movie Rented Nine Years Ago · · Score: 1

    she's forever barred from having a job in the financial industry.

    She can get a waiver from the FDIC under Section 19. It's a huge PITA (I hold one), but she can try.

  3. Re:Lots of nonsense on Atlanta Gambled With Winter Storm and Lost · · Score: 1

    Agree with you - and one thing that helps to slow down is to stay in a low gear. You can handle snow and ice on bald tires even, as long as you stay in a low gear.

    I'm well tired of rms.

    If you truly want 'freedom', then the people who made X should be free to copy{what|ever} the damn thing.

    It seems rms's version of 'freedom' is: do what you want with X, so long as i agree to a very narrow definition of what X should do

    I jumped off of pine right before it became alpine in 2006/07. i jumped on to gmail in december 2006. now i have backed up almost all of that, and am planning to reunite with my long-lost, coniferous love.

  10. Re:No! on Google Rolling Out Gmail Redesign · · Score: 5, Insightful

    exactly.

    gmail keeps pushing not insignificant changes, and calls them 'optional'. my experience is they later remove the options.

    Sockatume is correct. It basically means something like "in withdrawal", or "in desperate need of".

    This is the problem with the entire US economy - we care not to plan for the future; we care only to make the present look good.

    Yes!
    My Father ran convenience stores. When an employee needed to be let go (theft, laziness, whatever), he would provide shining recommendations.
    Why? - because he knew a competitor would scoop that person up.

  24. Yontoo on New OS X Trojan Adware Injects Ads Into Chrome, Firefox, Safari · · Score: 2

    Yontoo has been around already, and not just @ Macs. I recently removed it from a Windows 7 PC. The uninstaller does not uninstall (shock!) ... one needs to remove registry keys to prevent this thing from sticking itself into Chrome, IE, etc. Spybot will find it well before Norton and others.
