  1. Re:First post! on FCC Giving Away Wi-fi Routers For Broadband Tests · · Score: 1

    this is wicked old news, i've had one of these for almost 2 months, the "testing" messes up my connection nightly, i'm thinking about dropping out of the program and going back to my old router.

    The storm had now definitely abated and what thunder there was now rumbled over more distant hills, like a man saying "and another thing" twenty minutes after admitting he's lost the argument. - Douglas Adams sorry your references were too similar to the continuation of THGTTG... Odin and Loki.. I choose Thor dammit!

  3. Re:Off topic, but vaguely related on Intel Lynnfield CPU Bests Nehalem In Performance/Watt · · Score: 1

    P is newer with a 1066mhz FSB and roughly comparable clock and cahce to the T series. The T series has a 800MHz FSB. use this to find the true differences: http://ark.intel.com/

    why do dildos (dildoes?) get such a bad rap?

    thank you for putting it so eloquently. ps: model trains rock!

    anyone up for a multi-thousand pound Burglary? first we'll go in and case the homes; taking pictures and posting them in a public location so as to not draw attention to ourselves......

  10. Re:i'm no MS fan, but... on Microsoft Causes Internal Family Strife · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree; especially with the deception idea (at least when refering to a certain fruit flavored OS.) I doubt the ads will have much effect in the long run even when they start focusing on the actual products. Once consumer perception is set it's hard to change.

  11. Re:Slashdot ID... on Dealing With an IT Bully · · Score: 1

    i agree that it is impossible to be human and not be a "drug-user". however, i disagree that saying not using outside drugs is elitest. the drugs your body makes naturally are there for a reason, food grows for a reason, poison also grows for a reason (not that drugs are poison, let me finish.) i think that internal drugs are a more natural, more controlled high than you could hope to achieve with other drugs, because your body produces and thus also limits those drugs. it all comes down to one thing, the drug user/addict and whether they are in control or the drug is in control.

  12. Re:heh on Microsoft or Apple - Who Is the Faster Patcher? · · Score: 1

    Could this be ruled an indirect Godwins Law? We need a referee. on the other hand i happen to agree with the discussion so far so +1.

  13. Re:Technology is a business on Best Super Tuesday Candidate for Technology? · · Score: 1

    i can dig that, i still think public schools and libraries are a good thing.. not nearly as good as they could be but much better then nothing. freedom of choice sucks if you can't afford your choice, or there are no choices.

    so you don't like licensed drivers, or educators? (i can understand the state parks if you never use them) so what if your private sector 401k was frozen, or your company went belly up (like enron), how would you feel then? that's the same plight numerous MA state workers face right now. (i too am private sector, but know many state employees who are not happy with romney)

  15. Re:Technology is a business on Best Super Tuesday Candidate for Technology? · · Score: 1

    Kohath, do you like having a fire department, licensed drivers, police departments, educators, prison guards, clean state parks etc...? if you want the fire department to show up in times of emergency you had better hope that your firefighters have the proper equipment to actually fight fire. How would you feel if you lost your pension and/or half your yearly salary? he took the money away and didn't put any of it back in just reserved it for "future use" i agree with anonymous coward my feelings; Obama seems the most level headed but lacks experience, most of the others have experience but aren't levelheaded, then there's huckabee and paul. huckabee = extremist and paul = expectations set way too high (though mostly good ideas in theory)

    you do not want Romney... he's fu cked mass up real good, took away pensions for retired and current state workers, is for STREGNTHENING IP, Copyright protections, and anti-privacy laws
