  1. Re:Letter to my Senator on Real-ID Passes U.S. Senate 100-0 · · Score: 1

    "US government will always have more" the point that one must grasp in armed rebellion against an unjust government is who wields those guns. Get enough people together and one finds that the soldiers you dispatched to quell the rebellion have joined its ranks. NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) weapons are hard to use on your own people and further motivate the neutrals to rebel. Also these NBC weapons of mass destruction often kill innocents that are not rebelling and damage infrastructure making an effective return to normal life hard. Effective use of standard weapons is hard too as killing your own people is bad press for the neutrals and for other countries views of you.

  2. Re:Targus Sport Deluxe Notebook Backpack on Advice On Notebook Backpacks? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to second this comment been shlepping around the Targus Sport Deluxe for about two years now and am very much in love with it. Its held up great, has plenty of room. As im not only packing the lt and the gear for that but when im not working im taking classes. Well worth the $80.

    Searched for goats in my zip code, first site returned was McDonald's Restaurants. I dont think im gonna eat at Mc'Ds any more.

  4. Re:Licensing? on Live Windows Bootable CDs for Sysadmins · · Score: 1

    To create your ISO image for burning you have to insert your copy of windows XP from which it extracts your legally owned copy of the PE. Then his software adds a functional layer on top of that. Good stuff I'm loving using my copy at my company.

  5. Re:air purifier on An Affordable Air Purifier For Dusty Computer Labs? · · Score: 1

    "No measurable levels of filtration?" in a zero air movement environment. Is the point. In a class room with 30 students coming in and out and stirring up the air or in a server room lets say where the air con moves the air around it might work great.

  6. Re:What's the big panic about SSNs? on UT Austin Hit By Massive Security Breach · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Had this same thing happen to me around Christmas time except they bought plane tickets. Tickets to be picked up at will call all the police had to do was go to the airport and wait. But no they said "the people picking up the tickets could be different from the ones who bought them". So when I said fine then forget the fraud charges and credit issues go arrest them for receiving stolen property, they got all-quiet and wanted to drop it. People can be so lazy.

  9. Sounds a lot like on Attorney Sues eBay over Negative Feedback · · Score: 1

    the searchking law suit aginst google's page rankings. I wonder if they will file a similar motion to dismiss based on the fact that ebay didnt do anything wrong. See Here for the section on the The motion to dismiss in the search king case

  10. wow on PC Baangs In America · · Score: 1

    According to the article they pay only 1$ per hour, you know here thy would be more expensive.

  11. Re:tv shows with ads in them on News on TiVo, "God's Machine" · · Score: 1

    In defense of the Tivo its more like $300 + a small subscription fee. Buying a Tivo isn't just to fix what these guys broke it changes the way you watch TV, I know a lot of people say things like that but serious get one and try it for a month if you don't like it take it back. I bought one with the same level of skepticism and now I have trouble watching any TV that isn't hooked up to one.

  12. Re:Does it have an address / addressable? on DIY Ethernet Audio Receiver · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How does one figure it flamebait. I honestly wanted to know if one could run multiple ones on the same network, what about using the same computer to control more than one. At the time i could find the answer, but flamebait?

  13. Re:Whats sad is on News on TiVo, "God's Machine" · · Score: 1

    Should have been the MPAA not the RIAA

  14. Whats sad is on News on TiVo, "God's Machine" · · Score: 1

    the fact that the RIAA and their complaints in the article about us stealing revenue by skipping commercials. That used to be the advertised reason back in the day to go to cable, a promise of less commercials. I can't believe that we can pay so much just for the privilege of watching their drivel and then be told I am bad guy for editing out the all the crap with my tivo.

    Can i run more than one on the same network?

  16. If we are lucky on BSA To Join Battle Against DRM · · Score: 4, Insightful

    they will sue each other out of business, guess that's to much to ask for eh?

  17. It would help if it ever happend. on Would a Boycott of the MPAA/RIAA Help Matters? · · Score: 1

    People, as a whole are lazy and don't want to spend / have the time and energy to fight things like this. That's why groups to fight the powers on issues like this never rally enough support. We as a whole like our comfortable middle; a quiet life spent hoping they go away.

  18. Bonuses? on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    I got $240 bonus check and a $25 gift cert to the local supermarket.

    Bonuses are calculated at 230 + 10$ for every 5 years with the company (I've been there six years). The gift cert replaced the need to get us a ham or a turkey in their eyes. But we used to get bonuses in the 700-1500$ range, a ham, and a party with open bar. You could bring a guest and it was at this nice country club so I am guessing 80$-100$ value before bar tab per employee.

  19. Re:Drat! Foiled again! on Crypto Leash for Laptops? · · Score: 1

    True true, I was thinking more for personal as a 3k loss for a laptop would be a serious blow to my budget. We don't trust our CEO with corporate secrets or any management laptops for that mater. Personal blackmail would be a concern.

  22. I bought One on PDAs For Kids · · Score: 2, Informative

    For my seven year old a Christmas time. I was rather unimpressed, the pixel size sucks so all your lines (when you are drawing) are fat and nasty plus the tracking (angled lines, direction change) when you draw just isn't as good as even the cheapest PDA. The ROM packs that you can load into the top have some fun games but the base unit grew boring quickly. As a hack / mod it might be fun but the issues with the screen make me think its not worth the effort.

    Maybe that is why you got yours cheaper someone stole the left pocket out of that lot and they had to mark them down.

  24. It did not work for us on Can Developers Work in a 'Locked-Down' Environment? · · Score: 1

    We had a developer come in on contract and we started him with a locked down w2k box. As the project progressed we found that even the default user levels of win2k where too restrictive to development work. He wound up as a power user, (one step below admin) which seems to be the best level as most things you need to do for development can be done at that level.

    Ehh just my experiences on the mater.
