  1. Vote for me!!!

  2. Even though Netflix is at 15%, compared to Hulu, CBS, ETC. They all send the data.. I Pay for my bandwidth to use as I please.

  3. Oh YES!!! on Barack Obama Sworn In As 44th President of the US · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Finally someone with a fricken brain!!!

  4. Re:Digital picture frame? on What To Do With Old Laptops? · · Score: 1

    If it fails as a projector, don't worry. In a year or so, just take it to Antique Road Show..

  5. Re:Which Stocks to Buy? on AT&T Claims Internet to Reach Capacity in 2010 · · Score: 1

    Speaking of smart circles, maybe he just needs to have that 13 year old German boy (that corrected NASA) to do his math for him.

  6. Re:Its a new invention because its online on Apple, Starbucks Sued Over Music Gift Cards · · Score: 1

    Your right and to add insult to injury, I'm embarrassed to even say I lived in Utah after two wannabe attorneys wasting the time and effort of others..

  7. Re:Haven't flown since before 9/11 on TSA Opens Blog — You Can Finally Complain · · Score: 1

    Maybe he was prying that their wasn't some crazy suicide bomber aboard the bus ? :)

  8. Just keep giving them to mythbusters on FBI To Spend $1B Expanding Fingerprint Database · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, I thought it was funny when they beat the cheap fingerprint biometric. Yes they started small. But I'd like to see them get into some more hacking. They can do it on TV and get away with it. If I where to have shown my last boss how to beat it. I would have been fired (of course thats when I worked for government). Even at my current work, the mentality of the people over IT is such that they told me "Don't even touch how we do back up, it's whats supported!" I can't wait to send them an email showing their backup has not worked since June..

    "I live in a country thats free. Free to be as stupid as you want!"

  9. Re:Lol : "some international" or "country neutral" on ICANN Writes US Government Requesting Independence · · Score: 1

    Hasn't this happened before? When the Settlers of America broke away from England??

    Sorry. I find some Irony in this. America Started it, and now England is heading up the revolution??

    Anyone else find Irony in this??

    Personally I'm neutral, but I'll sit in grand stand with my popcorn, hotdog and Beer and just watch..

  10. Re:No Voice? on Airlines to Offer In-Flight Internet Service · · Score: 1

    Oh it was complete sarcasm on the United part. I was in government for 21 years + (still have to work with them on occasion) Even they will tell you how messed up it is. From the government view, corporate has more power than government in many aspects!!

    Corporate States of America is probably a more correct term..

  11. Re:... and screw the economy on Switching Hospital Systems to Linux · · Score: 1

    Hell, I'm still shocked it hasn't become more main stream. We implemented it in our 911 dispatch years ago (way old slashdot article of Linux 911 http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=99/08/27/1641223&mode=thread&threshold=3 from back in 1999). It saved us money and lives. Its still running great!!

  12. Re:I suppose... on AT&T Wireless Network Is Open Too · · Score: 1

    Look at the good side, if they are successful others might follow suite. Our business is getting hammered by Sprint/Nextel I spend most of my time on the phone correcting their mistakes. If it works in range of the business we're in, it would still be great. There is a lot I could do with an open network.

    Sprint/Nextel work better when beaten with a 4x4.

  14. Re:No Voice? on Airlines to Offer In-Flight Internet Service · · Score: 2, Funny

    "By Plugging in ports", Please for give me, but this makes me have a flashback to Die hard 4. I can see it know, There going to have some of the same actors from that show, make a Die hard 5, where Bruce and that other kid (Hacker from die hard 4) happen to be on the same plane while Terrorists, take control of the plane (Via the on board internet). Making the government think they are going to crash it into some famous location. They still manage to crash and get just cuts and scratches and only a few dead.

    Okay, now I've ruined the plot for Die Hard 5.

    Sorry.

    Well, back to the subject. Are they going to block porn?

  15. Re:Nine ways to handwave lack of cell phones on AT&T To Decommission Pay Phones · · Score: 1

    Plots hell, They're just keeping me from playing Jason Bourne!!!

    so much for being covert any more and plugging my suction cup 300 baud modem into a pay phone and hacking into a BBS.

    Oh hell, what year is this?

  16. Re:Get real... on PlayStation 2 Game ICO Violates the GPL · · Score: 1

    You also have to consider that it could be a big boost to Sony if they did. Imagine how HOT an Item it could become!!!

    It would be an interesting marketing experiment..

  17. Re:they forgot to put oil? on Space Station Solar Equipment Showing Damage · · Score: 1

    Correct on the oil. The article also mentions about micro meteorites damaging the rails. They also really need the technology for some kind of a force field. Anyone know of any work or research or how long?

  18. Re:I didn't know this existed on TV Links Raided, Operator Arrested · · Score: 1

    I gave up cable to cut costs. Now I'm out many of my shows. Damn! Should have Mirrored.

  19. Re:alas no on Juror From RIAA Trial Speaks · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Looking at it from several perspectives. Yes they look guilty. But as stated above. The punishment should fit the crime. Be it this was a civil case not criminal. The same stands. The Jury was obviously pissed off by the defendant and nailed that person on not just fact, but emotion. Just look at the jurors statement! Its pretty obvious. The amount IS ludicrous. At worst the Jury should have only doubled the original settlement. I guess you could say don't piss off the jury, but thats obvious. But in this case, the jury did cross the line. Again, see juror's statement. I've spent a lot of time in the courtroom (not as a defendant). Jury's can unfortunately get to emotional and prejudicial.

    There's really few options this person has now.

  20. Re:Not only that on Stalling Cars Via OnStar · · Score: 1

    The hell with the older cars. How about I give a bonus to the first person that hacks me a Corvette..

  23. Re:New version of GIMP? on GIMP 2 for Photographers · · Score: 1

    No everyone doesn't know about gimp. Yes there is a free online book, but what can this book hurt? NOTHING !! if anything it will help promote gimp even more. Some people want to sit down with a book instead of a lit screen. Nothing wrong with that. I used the online book and it was great. But personally I love the fact I can give the book to my boss and pay less! Photo shop is probably only used to a fraction of its ability (same with gimp) by most users. Gimp is capable of some high end editing. Thats enough for me..
