  1. Re:Almost need a poll to explain it on Buffalo Tech Gets New Trial On Wi-Fi Patent · · Score: 1

    highly recommend Buffalo products.

    Not a router, but I purchased a Buffalo Wireless USB dongle. I had a good many issues getting the driver to work on XP, and their website was impossible to find any driver updates. I could not get it to work on Linux at all. So one experience has left a bad taste in my mouth for the company.

  2. Re:The real problem is GMail on Now Google's CAPTCHA Is Broken · · Score: 1

    Spammers spoof my gmail account and I get a ton of bounced spam messages from servers in Argentina. I guess it's because my gmail is a simple 6 letter dictionary word with no numbers?

  3. Management on Do We Live In a Giant Cosmic Bubble? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Always thought it was upper management that lived in a bubble.

  4. Human Powered? on Human-Powered Vehicle Speed Competition · · Score: 2, Funny

    Was I the only one thinking the article was about making Bio-diesel from Liposuction Clinic's waste?

  5. Spitzer Telescope on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 1

    Don't they usually point the Spitzer telescope to confirm Hubble's findings? According to the Sky and Telescope article this was brightening for 100 days. Seems like plenty of time to point another telescope at it.

  6. Re:They ought to divert Ares funding to these guys on SpaceX Gets Operational License For Cape Canaveral · · Score: 1

    they ought to hire some economist(s)
    Yes I'm sure there is a shortage of bean counters in their organization.

  7. Re:I have a feeling on Is the US Ready For the Switch To DTV? · · Score: 1

    I bought the $5 one from Walmart... maybe I should upgrade to the $9 one.

  8. Re:I have a feeling on Is the US Ready For the Switch To DTV? · · Score: 1

    I'm in the next county over from you Chester. I got in zero analog stations analog with my rabit ears. DTV I get in 2 Philly and one Lancaster station with the same antennae. Not refuting your statement just sharing my experience. 3 channels are certainly disappointing in itself.

  9. Re:Hell no. on Should IT Unionize? · · Score: 1

    Well said. As you were typing this post you became too old. Please turn in all your credentials and prepare for managerial assimilation.

  10. Re:F ... Zero? on Fuel-Cell Car Racing Series Aims To Spur Green Motoring · · Score: 2, Insightful

    you'd expect to see cars and not go-karts.
    I'm thinking this is a result of the expense and interest in the technology. The expense to build one of these cars is greatly reduced by making it a go-kart. If this type of race can raise interest you then get your big players and corporate sponsorship to fund R&D in big boy cars.

  11. Re:cardholder services on FTC Bans Prerecorded Telemarketing Drivel · · Score: 1

    I respect the ruse... but couldn't that be classified as fraud?

  12. Re:TomTom on Microsoft Bets Big On Computing For the Car · · Score: 1

    A lot of the units i see preinstalled in the cars do not have as many features as the hand held units. Anyway you can always put it away when you're in that part of town.

  13. Re:TomTom on Microsoft Bets Big On Computing For the Car · · Score: 1

    My friend experienced the same with their Tom Tom. I have a Gsrmin NUVI. I'm happy with it.

  14. Re:Check Engine Light on Microsoft Bets Big On Computing For the Car · · Score: 1

    That's my point. If you have on board navigation system... that should be able to display the codes. Thanks for that though. I'll probably buy one the next time my light comes on. I plan on running my current car into the ground.

  15. Check Engine Light on Microsoft Bets Big On Computing For the Car · · Score: 1

    We have these state of the art computers in all of our cars, but for some reason we still have to take our car to the mechanic to determine why our Check Engine Light is on. Why should I have to pay $60-$80 for them to plug in a computer to read the codes.

  16. Re:Almost in MN on No Gap Found In Math Abilities of Girls, Boys · · Score: 1

    Mod sad, but true.

  17. Re:Voice Messaging on Call Someone – Without Having To Talk To Them · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Except with this service you'll have to write their number down or memorize (unheard of these days) before calling them.

  20. Re:Case Study... on The Push For Quotas For Women In Science · · Score: 1

    That's similar to the career choices for females in Software Engineering at my company. Many started as SE's, but most are now Managers. In fact most of the Project Managers, Resource Managers, or Product Managers ARE Female.

    I think the icon should be replaced with this

  24. Re:Of course this assumes that when you filled it on Your Online Profile Actually Tells a Lot About You · · Score: 1

    He's trying to make himself more interesting by saying no one else can like the obscure pretentious stuff because they're just trying to sound interesting. This is all an effort to make himself appear more interesting and deep because he's above trying to do things to get chicks. This is why I never answer the favorite band question. So am I calling out his fronting of fronting to sound more interesting myself?

  25. Re:Of course this assumes that when you filled it on Your Online Profile Actually Tells a Lot About You · · Score: 1

    He's generalizing everyone else to make himself sound more interesting.
