  1. personal choices on "Smash Your Hard Drive" To Fight Identity Theft · · Score: 1

    "Does it blend" works well for Laptop Hard drives, and you can add empty beer cans to suite your taste. Larger drives make unique targets for sighting in the 30-30. If you don't own a gun (convicted felon, wimp, ,,,) you can fashion it as a ground strap on your car and take a road trip

  2. Credit card use on Blu-ray Update Sent To User Via Credit Card Records · · Score: 1

    Just goes to show you that you should have used a stolen credit card,

  3. Re:Next week article. on All of Vietnam's Government Computers To Use Linux, By Fiat · · Score: 1

    can you discount a tird ?

  4. When the grid pukes on Home Generators (or How DTE Energy Ruined My Holidays) · · Score: 1

    in 25 years with a standby generator learned a few things. run the gen every month for an hour change the oil twice a year (regardless of use) change the gas (drain and refill) every 6 months A small metal garden shed with ventilation (box fan & turbine) keeps the weather out, and insulation will cut down on the noise. Changeover can be low tech with a breaker in the same location as the main shutoff will work ok (you will only experiance a mistake here only once with either a line man kicking the crap out of you or the sight of a full 5 gallon plastic gas tank melting)

  5. Re:Your premise is wrong on CastleCops Anti-Malware Site Closes Down · · Score: 1

    Why not use your extra bandwidth to fry the host phishing sites, it could be setup like seti at home, or maybe we could just drop an anchor on their undersea cable

  6. Re:a PC actually wrote this article on Five PC Power Myths Debunked · · Score: 1

    what if you dont use windoze

  7. Eases my mind on This Is the Way the World Ends · · Score: 1

    I am glad to see that the human race has evolved to more scientifically correct fears of doom. Personally I was tired of the old Apocalypse, and the simple fears like the second coming, Satan, Iraq,, etc. Being raised in a religious family with fear of hell (and allot of other crap) governing your daily actions, I realized that I was going to hell at an early age, the end lost importance, because hell is a dry heat. So it doesn't matter about doomsday because it was around for a long time and will always be here. What we need to do is: Pay your taxes, to continue space technology (The government needs to survive doomsday) Put an extra 20 in the collection box (to save your soul and and keep fuel in the Lear jet Wear a tinfoil hat Or maybe just put a paper sack over your head

  8. Re:talking on mobile as dangerous as drunk driving on Study Confirms Mobile Phones Distract Drivers · · Score: 1

    personnaly I don't talk on the phone when I'm drinking, and when I drink I can't see, so I dont drive drinking. I have abandoned using cabs after getting beatup (by cab drivers) and also being ejected in alien neighborhoods (land of no honkeys), so drinking in cabs is out also. hang up and drive

  9. proper diet and challenge on How to Deal With an Aging Brain? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since I crossed the GEEZER boundry a few years ago (or so), I found that a proper diet is not to fry or nuke your brain to often ( 2 beers not 37, a couple tokes not 14 bowls) works well for keeping an edge. Exercise consists of occasional arguments with my x-wifes and moving to a strange place every 4-5 years. the best move is to a place where you dont know anyone or the language.

  10. Re:Why use that? on The Shady Business Practices of Classmates.com · · Score: 1

    I don't have any friends

  11. A load off my mind on $700 Billion Bailout Signed Into Law · · Score: 1

    the FDIC increase eases my fears, I think I'll go uot Monday and get fill my gas tank, or possibaly buy another ex-wife, as far as the plan working AIG got $85B two weeks ago and already rissed away $61B http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/04/business/04insure.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin

  13. A little know engineering fact: on What To Do With All of My Gadget Chargers? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Use microwaves,, just place face up in a microwave safe dish for 48 seconds 4.5v, 81 seconds 12v (microwave ovens vary you may need to tweak the times) after it cools off try it, if it isn't charged simply repeat the process.
