  1. Re:Can the Public Become Private? on Twitter To Appeal Turning Over Protester's Messages · · Score: 0

    Imagine putting a sign on your front lawn. A month later you bring it inside your house. Since the sign was public, does that mean the police no longer need a warrant? If twitter loses this appeal, the answer to that question will be no. It is essentially saying anything made public can never be made private. Now, if someone took pictures of that sign on your lawn, that's another matter. So a snapshot of a public site would be fair game. So much so, I wonder if the police monitor tweets and store potentially interesting ones?

    You can't unsay what you have said. If you scream at someone "I'm gonna kill you", it will be used against you.

    Yes, but if you didn't record me at that time, don't ask me to scream again.

    This is exactly the issue at hand in my opinion. Tweets are public, and anyone is welcome to save/store them at the time that they are available. However, if they did not, then it is a missed opportunity on their part. I don't see how anyone can be required to make them public again.

    I opened a fortune cookie after my lunch today, but all it said was "That wasn't chicken."

    lifetime activations are the exception to this. if you paid lifetime, the manual record option will not disable itself. but without the guide data, you will have to look up the shows on tvguide.com and program the unit like a vcr.

  4. ridiculous! on Greenbacks No More · · Score: 0

    I just don't get it... how can people have a hard time with out money? I'm pretty sure that it has always taken 20 1's to make a 20. or are they planning on changing the math too? I mean do we really need to make a 20 the size of 20 1's so that people can line them all up like a jigsaw puzzle to figure out how much they are worth?

    It makes me wonder who is training these monkeys.

  5. first soccer, then baseball on Robocup 2002 Now Underway · · Score: 0

    how are all those overpaid professional athletes going to ever get that kind of salary out of Unemployment? Doesn't anyone realize what this will do to their lifestyles?

    I can see it now, the cover of cheerios, robbie the robot, star pitcher for the NY Yankees - robbie's signature move is the 350 mph curveball.

  6. Re:Banner ads on Avoiding The Content Apocalypse? · · Score: 1

    I have to agree with you there. I mean i kill alot of useless time searching for anything that is interesting enough to read. And i know that there are uses for these extremely long URL's. But I will say that if I actually knew what the link was taking me to, I would be more likely to want to check it out. Sometimes I think that they are spending so much time on what the software CAN do, they seem to have forgetten about what the user wants.

    that is the most disturbing image to enter my mind since the last time i saw midget porn on styleproject. ack!

  8. Re:With all respect to those whose opinion differs on Avoiding The Content Apocalypse? · · Score: 1

    Well, i am assuming by your assumptions that you are not in the food industry. let me tell you that you are wrong. most people (at least in my area) do tip 15%. and that is still not alot of money. as a matter of fact, though 15% is still the "rule" it is rapidly moving towards 20%. anyway, don't quit your dayjob to become a waitress. trust me.

    My questions are: 1. Where do i sign up? 2. How much does it cost? 3. Do I have to jump tandem the first time? I think i have found a replacement for my Cliff-diving addiction!
