  1. Re:Here is a list on Stolen SSN, Credit Bureaus Alerted , Now What? · · Score: 1

    My bank is good about this, because checks will automatically (and freely) overdraft from my savings while my debit card will not.

    I always keep 200 in my checking for my debit card, the rest stays safely away in savings.

    Fuck a debate, THUNDERDOME!!!!!!!!

  3. Re:One-time numbers are key on Searching For Trouble With Google · · Score: 1

    Have you considered not using checks then? You can get money orders from the post office using your debit card. Yeah it is somewhat of a pain, but it could give you more security.

    I only write one check a month, and that is for my power bill since they don't accept online payments. Everything else I can pay electronically and goes to my credit card which I monitor.

    I don't know about other providers, but Sprint offers the current treo without a camera.

  5. Re:Only played during comic con? on After Petition, Farscape Miniseries Trailer Online · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, much different trailer. Pretty good in fact.

  6. Re:I don't use em unless I have to on Stored Procedures - Good or Bad? · · Score: 1

    My former company migrated from MySQL to oracle, because oracle promised the moon, and didn't charge too much. Now, after everything has moved to oracle, using oracle specific features, Oracle decided to more then double the price of each license and that money is not in the budget.... It would be nice if they could change database vendors, but sadly they can't.

    Did you get the Intralase (all laser) or the traditional Lasik? I am curious as I am going in for surgery next Thursday

  9. Re:Boycott Stargate... on Stargate Atlantis Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I wasn't meaning to bitch, whine and moan. I am very excited about getting new content. I just wish I would be getting more then 4 new hours. There are only so many times you can watch the same episodes...

  10. Re:Feh! on Stargate Atlantis Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I liked what I saw of that show, is it out on dvd?

  11. Re:Boycott Stargate... on Stargate Atlantis Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    sadly, just a miniseries. It will be good, but not as good as the show.

  12. Re:Pretty... on Sun to GPL Project Looking Glass · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I for one don't want a 3D gesturing interface, atleast not for the majority of my work. Using Minority report as an example, Tom was using his entire up body to do his work, as opposed to the minimal effor I am exerting right now using the KB and mouse. While it might make geeks workout more, after a full day (8+ hrs) it would be a killer.

  13. Re:oxymorons on Internet Accessible Home Security Systems? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Did your kids not call you dad, but instead called you "Brother"? Perhaps "Big Brother"? :-)

  14. Re:My comments on the Riddick game on Movie-Based Videogames - Not Actually That Bad? · · Score: 1

    Most movies try to have something called 'plot' and another something called 'acting'. Unfortunately, Chronicles of Riddick had neither.

    I was quite disapointed because in Pitch Black, your set in a future earth universe. There are no other wierd humanoid races, just humans. Riddick is human, not some other race. Then all of a sudden you are dealing with several different races. To me it was a turn to the worse from Pitch Black.

  15. Re:Doesn't mean people are happy with it... on Copy-protected CD Tops U.S. Charts · · Score: 1

    An interesting note is the Velvet Revolver CD doesn't display the CD logo anywhere on the outside packaging, so they can claim when you buy it you were not told it would work everywhere.

    The only place it has the CD logo is very small on the actual CD.

    I bought the disc the other day, knowing it would take about 30 seconds to bypass copy protection so I could listen to it on any device.

  16. Re:Backups on Hosting Service Closes 3000 Blogs Without Notice · · Score: 1

    You underestimate the amount of worthless drivel some people spout in blogs. I doubt it goes to the Terabytes, but the size is large I am sure.

  17. Re:I'm amazed on Code Copying Survey for Developers · · Score: 1

    Your one of those people who tries to get all coworkers fired on a weekly basis aren't you?

    What is wrong with using code from a personal code library? I write a lot of code on my own time that I own, and no one else. If instead of re-writing that code for my company (which would pretty much be identical to how I did it before) I want to save time (and therefore the company money) what is wrong with me contributing that code?

  18. Re:Since the article doesn't mention, I'll ask: on U.S. Interior Dept. Unplugged... Again · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, sounds like my job, everything takes a group of like 10 people to decide, then after 1300 man hours implementing it, they decided to throw it away (yes, all of it) and take an entirely different approach.

    Why is your book title "CYBER RIGHTS" YELLING? :-)

    Damn, how many non cap words do I have to use to get past the lameness filter?

    Can I get some sources to document this?

  21. Re:Vehicles on Unreal Tournament 2004 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    A nice tip for you in any vehicle. Jump in and then hit 1,2 or 3 to select which seat you are in. I will typically run to the hellbender and jump in #3 seat. This also is useful when no one seems to want to drive with you (on sparsely populated servers). I will take the hellbender or the tank and drive to the ridge next to the comm tower. Throw out spider mines to cover your back, then jump to the #3 seat, zoom in and start killing anyone at the first powernode or coming out of the base.

  22. Re:Improvements to playstation controller on Xbox 2 Controller Loses Two Buttons, PS3 Gains One? · · Score: 1

    The logitech wireless is very nice. Good response (just the same as a wired one) and the inputs feel good. I much prefer it to the default X-box controller or the S-type.

  23. Re:Confidential files on Electronic Burglary in the Senate · · Score: 4, Insightful

    According to the article, the Republicans claim to have informed the Democrats about it along time ago. However, the Democrats say they were never told.

    Since both parties are stinkin liars, I don't think you can believe either story.
