    "lower energy costs (4 days commuting instead of 5), and 3-day weekends every week ... "

    This is assuming everyone stays at home and does nothing...

  2. Re:Tried their whois contact number? on Recovering Domains from Negligent Registrars? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hide and wait until someone comes and picks up the mail, then follow them back to their HQ. Then have the thugs/mountain men attack.

  4. Re:Nice link.... on MP3 Download Prices to Rise? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sorry, but all your links are belong to the /. editors.

  5. Re:My experience with municipal broadband on Anti-Muni Broadband Bills Country Wide · · Score: 1

    Same idea, I live in a city in california that produces its own electrical power. So not only do we pay less than Edison, when all the blackouts were happening here a few years back we weren't really affected at all.

  6. Re:Usenet once again an underground geek hangout? on Another Nail In Usenet's Coffin? · · Score: 1

    Along those lines I was looking for a newgroup provider that provided unlimited downloading. I found and have used http://news.astraweb.com . They have unlimited downloads capped at 2MB/sec for $15 a month.

  7. Re:That suggests something on Enterprise Fans Buy Full-Page Ad In LA Times · · Score: 1

    This was actually suggested, if something all the viewers of it contributed like $13 an episode they could pay for it themselves.

  8. Re:Steam on Yahoo! Sues Xfire For Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    Funny, I was thinking that same exact thing as I read this article. The only difference is where steam's friends system sucks, Xfire's is awesome.

  9. Guild Wars on Pay-As-You-Play MMORPGs? · · Score: 1

    Take a look at guild wars. No monthly fee. http://www.guildwars.com/ looks like it should be pretty neat.

  10. Re:Comp User/pass Link on Set up a DHCP server to manage IP addresses · · Score: 1

    Or even better, http://extensions.roachfiend.com/index.php#bugmeno t

    It automatically inputs the information into the user/pass field for you.

  11. Re:Motorcycles on Self-Adapting Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    Have tried that, I haven't had too much luck with that.

  12. Re:Weight Sensors on Self-Adapting Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    Have you seen this work? I hadn't heard of that before, so I will certainly give it a try.

    I have also heard pressing the starter and flashing the high beams my do it. Those haven't worked for me.

  13. Re:Motorcycles on Self-Adapting Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    hahaha, my bad.

  14. Re:Motorcycles on Self-Adapting Traffic Lights · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have seen that, but I have seen no reviews of it, and no one I ride with uses it...Seems like perhaps just a sham...Have to ask around to see if it's worthwhile.

  15. Motorcycles on Self-Adapting Traffic Lights · · Score: 5, Informative

    Now I just need one that will recognize my motorcycle at 2am when no cars are around to tigger the lights for me.

    I ride a supersport Yamaha YZF-R6. Weighs about 410 wet and I have problems triggering many stop lights, so much so that I have areas I don't ride when traffic is light because they never turn green for me.

  16. Re:time on WiFi Seeker, Finder, Detector Roundup · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, as the article says the Canary device does indeed detect SID/Channel as well as if WEP is enabled.

  17. Re:Insomnia tonight on Half-Life 2 Finally Activated · · Score: 1

    Roughtly 4.5GB of data, so yes, lets of stuff to download.

  18. Re:Get in early on Everquest 2 Launches · · Score: 1

    Not to flame, but can you estimate how many days/months you had on it?

  19. Re:So many mmporgs, so little time on Everquest 2 Launches · · Score: 1

    I was lucky enough to get in the alpha for WoW about a year ago. The game at that point was so great, it was amazing thinking it was an alpha. I haven't played it for about 8 months, didn't have time, but I can only imagine how far it has come.

  20. Re:Here's what WHOIS says: on Beware 'Fedora-Redhat' Fake Security Alert · · Score: 1

    Dialed the #, big surprise. It's disconnected.

  21. Re:Well... on Half Life 2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Well, I already have it on my system, as soon as they turn it on, I can start playing.

  22. Re:DOWNLOAD IT EARLY! on First of 6 new HHGG episodes, Tonight! · · Score: 1

    doesn't appear to work anymore

  23. Megabit or Megabytes? on Finding the Bottleneck in a Gigabit Ethernet LAN? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    1000 megabits would = about 125 megabytes (1000/8). If you are getting 145 megabits a second that would be about 18 megabytes a second and would be very horrible speeds. If on the other hand you are getting 145 megabytes a second you are doing pretty damn good I think.

  24. Re:WTF? on Firmware Upgrades Creating Doorstops? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ditto. Get the new one, ebay it and go get something else at the very least.

  25. Fight Club on Sleeping Problems? · · Score: 1

    You saw Fight Club, right? Start going to group meetings and start crying and then you will be all set.
