  1. Re:report it to the fcc on Tracking Down Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 1

    You find me ONE news story of ACTUAL ham assistance from a REPUTABLE news source in the last year. Just try it!
    (Oh, and getting chased off Haiti by the locals doesn't count!)

    Hams help with emergency service coordination during major Windstream 911 outage. http://journalstar.com/news/local/article_84aba07a-3d9b-11df-8d7a-001cc4c03286.html

    Put that in your hippie HAM-hating pipe and smoke it!

  2. Sorry Sony... on Bad Signs For Blu-ray · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'm not about to rebuy my DVD collection or upgrade my TV to enable your HDCP-enabled dreams of complete consumer control.

    Also, I could care less about your game console, so you won't be able to use me as a marketing statistic showing the success of Blu-Ray there either.

  3. Re:Macs on Apple 10.4.11 Update Can Brick Macs With Boot Camp · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You obviously haven't tried to print to a Windows-shared printer with options like Landscape or n-up printing. Or you haven't tried to add a printer shared from an older Mac, since they turned off CUPS browsing by default in Leopard for no apparently good reason. You may also not have noticed how flaky connecting to SMB shared drives can be. Leopard most certainly does not _just work_ for everyone. I'm back on Tiger and at this point looks like I'll be staying until 10.5.2 at the earliest.

  4. Robot Insurance on Bill Gates on Robots · · Score: 2, Funny

    Looks like it's time to get that robot insurance policy Sam Waterston spoke about on TV...

  5. Re:Yeah but, don't worry. on Cisco's LEAP Authentication Cracked · · Score: 3, Informative

    What this commercial is really about is the Cisco Security Agent they are selling now. Comes preinstalled on some of their products, like the AVVID CallManager. It hooks into the system libraries and watches call sequences for potential virus/worm/trojan-related activity and stops the application from running if it detects something that fits the profile.

  6. Re:Different times. on Web 'Rules' Changing? · · Score: 1

    If it's more than three clicks from Google, it's too hard to find. Keep your meta tags relevant and get your site on the search engines if you want to maximize your audience.
