  1. deadlines on Beating Procrastination with Self-Imposed Deadlines · · Score: 2, Insightful

    one nice thing about deadlines, if you put them off long enough
    you don't have to worry about them any more.

  2. You get what you pay for ... sometimes on Republican Aide Tries to Hire Hackers · · Score: 1

    >
    After all who would want anyone in government who was capable of getting a high paying job.

  3. Norge i vinter on Unrefined "Musician" Gains a Global Audience · · Score: 1

    What would you do in the "murk tid".
    some drink, at least this guy thought of soemthing creative.

  4. Try Target on Verizon Can't Do Math · · Score: 1

    >

    IF you go to a Target store check out the tuna fish. The pack of 4 cans is more expensive than the separate cans.
    If you want to see a "what, who me? response", point it out to a "sales associate".
    Usually the same is true of the catsup, also. (big bottle more expensive/oz than small bottle)

  5. Earthlink not too far sighted on EarthLink Is Losing a Lot of Email · · Score: 1

    My old ISP was bot by Earthlink, first thing they did was tell all the DSL customers they didn't want them.
    Strictly dialup for Earthlink.

    Nothing like a clear view of the future.

    NB: in an excellent move, a local ISP contacted all of the DSL people being dumped
              and offered to take over the service. Seamless switch, no activation hassle or fees.

  6. cookie culler on FCC Meets To Investigate Cookie Abuse · · Score: 1

    Is there a method to do this in Opera?
    You can set it to delete recent cookies .
    I have a static cookie file that overwrites the Opera cookie file each time
    Opera starts, however a more sophisticated method might be interesting.

  7. Re:Oregon - Did you know... on E-voting State By State · · Score: 1

    >

    How do you prove you are a citizen of Oregon? Maybe just migrating to Calif. for the winter
    from Wash.?

    Turned my ballot in last Sat.
    A most pleasant way to vote.

    NB Washington seems to be backing into the same system (vote by mail).
          One less thing drawing people to Oregon.

    Don't Californicate Oregon

  8. How long will Zend last? on Microsoft Partners With Zend · · Score: 1

    Gone in two years?
    could they last three?

    I use Opera and complained to a site about their IE only policy/design.
    They replied with a Word document.

  10. Who answeres calls ? I do on Telemarketers Use Emotionally Intelligent Software · · Score: 1

    If I need a break from what I am doing, I answer.
    Usually to see how long I can string them along.
    I consider it a service to humanity. While they are talking to me they ain't callin' you.

    I find it particularly entertaining when they have the wrong (my name ).

  11. Not so new on Trojan Installs Anti-Virus, Removes Other Malware · · Score: 1

    read the article at
    http://www.secureworks.com/analysis/spamthru/
    and then see how new you think it is.

    and yes it is an interesting virus/trojan ....

    NB There is SNORT IDS at end of article.

  12. protect from everything on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 1

    prepared for nothing.

    You learn by running into things.
    The parents job is to make sure the collision isn't too damaging.

  13. It's Ireland. Get over it on Adult .IE Domain Names Banned As Immoral · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ireland the home rational , unemotional thought.

    NB: I know, son of long line of Mahoneys and Boldricks.

    easy way to eliminate all sorts of crap in emails.

    IF you are going to be pedantic learn to use a spell checker/learn to speeeeel.

    >

    You hope.

    EOM

  18. I take it you have found a version of TURBO TAX on Can Linux Pick Up Users Abandoning Win98? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

  21. I too am waiting on the TIVO thingy on Learning to Love the Cable Guy · · Score: 1

    I am ready to get a Dish PVR (HD), but am waiting to see how the tivo thing goes.

    As for myth/pvr it is a hard row to hoe. My son just returned the WinTV card to me , he was tired of trying to make it work.
    Either with XP or WN2000.
    I tried with half a dozen linux distros and never go a PVR. (worked best with Slack 10.2).

  22. They are worth protecting. on The Mystery of Oregon's 'Dead Zone' · · Score: 1

    Some of the "fish" found dead were Dungeness crab. Considered by some the best variety (tastewise) (they are quite good).
    These go for $3-$4/lb in the local stores.

    As for putting things on the menu, the best item caught around here is Chinook , but very few around right now.
    Alaska salmon is plentiful but local ocean caught chinook is usually over $10/lb.

  23. Re:Tobaco and hemp -try hops on Dodging the Negative Reaction To GE Crops · · Score: 1

    I don't think tobaco and hemp are compatible, however;
    there is some evidence that hops can be grafted to hemp.
    Now the thc is produced in the roots, IIRC, then you have some
    really good stuff to put in your beer.

  24. Re:Genetic engineering is thousands of years old on Dodging the Negative Reaction To GE Crops · · Score: 1

    This comment should have a +5 mod.
    It why Herefords don't look like Angus.
