I don't see a problem with this guy. He's not lying, and he gets good feedback like: "WOW!!!!! I got it today, GREAT product. Can't believe it's so good for $10. A+++"
I don't think my router is interfering since I've used bittorrent getting other things with lightning speed. Just checked it this morning and it's still in the single digits. Can the tracker get too much work to do, and is it possible that would slow things down?
I'm getting about 1kb/sec right now, after having it on for about an hour. Pretty darn slow, frequently get triple digits per sec when downloading other "things". Is bittorrent suited for slashdot size downloading?
I've met people who believe that dinosaurs are a hoax by scientists to get famous. It's hard to have meaningful conversations about these things when you can't agree on a starting point.
It's what the little sticker on my daughter's toy cd player says. My first reaction was they missed the "W" but it's the "ON" button upside down. Made in China.
Or, put a bunch of Bush cabinet members in a room together with typewriters, how long until they re-write the US constitution? Only this time with the word God interspersed generously throughout
Nothing on earth is more annoying than the Nextel walkie talkie feature. If people used them the way you say it wouldn't be too bad, but morons on the train that have entire conversations on them are more painful than Chinese water torture. I propose a world wide ban on walkie talkie phones.
I drive like a car thief, never open the hood except to add window washer fluid. I get the oil changed every 15-20 thousand miles. The only things I've replaced on my 8 year old Civic are tires, brakes and the muffler (I hit a large rock someone had placed strategically in the middle of the road). It's almost at 200K miles and still gets me around 36 miles/gallon. My previous car was a 10yr old Accord that got stolen with well over 200K miles, they're lucrative for chop shops
More on the larger topic outsourcing. I wonder what percentage of workers reading slashdot are employed by foreign companies? Would those complaining about outsourcing be willing to give up their jobs to back up their principles?
I'll gladly trade my 5 yr old nearly featureless phone for a brand spanking new quattro band gigaflop lcd Wi Fi processor sms zinc battery technological marvel.
I have a 4.58 yr old daughter myself. I also make a point of not swearing around her, but this fall she starts school. Can't wait to hear what new swears the kids are using these dadys.
If you're only 22 what movies that your kids have any interest in seeing require pre-screening? Not much to protect them from in Wiggles and Barney videos. Sorry, forgot, those do include dinosaurs and since there's no mention of them in the bible they must have never existed.
It's pretty amazing what kind of people are allowed to be on the road. The drunk or high guy I mentioned above was in the class for his 12th or 13th time, another was there for doing 80 in a 25 past an elementary school. At some point you have to draw the line and not give people another chance.
I bought a tiny flash mp3 player specifically to use when I run. Biggest annoyance is I can't stop in the middle of a file and pick up where I left off which is desirable when having audiobooks in single files. Should have checked the features.
Could you let me know before you're going out for a drive.
In this same vein, an individual in my defensive driving class last year when asked why he got so many speeding tickets:
"I only speed when I'm drunk or high, but that's pretty much all the time"

Damn those lead lined sweaters.
It's called teflon flu and happens when you heat teflon to temperatures way too high for normal cooking, of course duPont will tell you it's a myth.

Monkeys, Shakespeare, bla bla bla.

same here, I've gone back to them several times to remind me of things. Very useful.

I briefly had a job without internet access. I signed up to every news site email list with alerts I could find.
Who is John Galt?
sorry, couldn't resist
most are free, but you can get it when you pay as well. Depends on the vendor.

A number of the kids' games I've loaded on my XP machine won't run properly unless logged in as admin.
Yeah, at only 98% marketshare I think they should throw in the towel.

I guess that went out the window when IBM dangled enough green in front of them.
