    They can , but they only do it if there is no one around to lift them

  3. Will is EVER matter? on Microsoft Responds to EU With Another Question · · Score: 1

    The speed and decisiveness of the EU makes me wonder if they will do ANYTHING in my lifetime.
    I see MSFT tieing them in their own knots, and I don't think the the EU is capable (politicly) of
    acting. Dither would seem to be the operative word.

    I wish it were not so.

  8. Intelectual age on New Australian Laws To Censor Terror DVDs · · Score: 1


    It appears that the Australian government doesn't think much of the smarts of the average Aussie.

    If you treat people like children , people behave like children. Australia deserves better.

  9. How will they differentiate? on Behavioral Search & Advertising On Its Way? · · Score: 1

    People who use NAT for internal networks are going to come up with some strange profiles.
    Cookies you say: that disappear when you close the browser?
    People behind the NAT not always using the same browser/OS?

    the meld of X-box on line + slackware/opera + XP/firefox/opera + W2000/opera is going to look like a
    profile a marketer could sell anything to.

    Amazon has enough trouble trying to sell me X-box stuff, I don't use an X-box.

  13. Local Providers? on How Does Your ISP Handle Top-Usage Customers? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't anyone live where there are local providers?
    Have you have looked at http://www.dslreports.com/ ?
    I got one thru them , a local in Portland, that provides a bare DSL connection, to Qwests line.

    It doesn't have to be a billion dollar corp to provide you with good DSL service.

  22. Take off weight on Flying the Airbus A380 · · Score: 1

    We waited on the taxiway in Paris (CDG) while be burned off enough fuel to take off. We were over weight. The even went to far as to "count the kids". Children are plugged into the weight calculations at a lesser value than adults. And it did take a long roll to get airborn. Paris to Sfran , 11 hours.

    and slowly back away from the computer.

  24. lost remote on The Coming Fight Over TV Violence · · Score: 1

    I can understand them losing track of their remote, but not being able to find the off switch on the TV has
    got to be some sort of record. I would be embarassed to admit I couldn't turn off my TV.
