  1. Re:I want one! on Traffic Light Switcher Makes Critics See Red · · Score: 1

    "What will work best? "

    You want to know what will work best? What will work best is if the cops did their jobs, and started immediately pulling over drivers that violate traffic laws and ticketing them.

  2. Re:My work around. on Norton Antivirus 2004 Ad Blocking - Tough Call? · · Score: 1

    Exactly, but there are a lot of freeloaders that want something for nothing. They are so selfish as to not even want a banner ad on their screen, never mind that they aren't required to click on it. Most of these freeloaders (there are evidently a lot on slashdot) are young and unaccustomed to the real world where bills have to be paid and beer has to be bought. Right now their living on mommy and daddy's money and government grants. As I said... freeloaders. Eventually they'll wake up in the real world.

  5. Re:just to clarify on FCC Proposes Fining AT&T Over DNC Violation · · Score: 1

    "Specifically if someone asks you to remove their name from your list you are required to do so."

    Actually the proper way that works is to say "put this number on your do not call list". Every 'campaign' is a seperate calling list. Since they only call each number once during each campaign, it's pointless to tell them to take your number off of their list since it's been called once anyway. They'll call again when the next campaign starts.

  6. Not a surprise on FCC Proposes Fining AT&T Over DNC Violation · · Score: 1

    AT&T once called my number, and when I instructed them to put the number on their do not call list the person said that it would take two to three weeks to put the number on the list. I called her BS, threatened to make my next call to the FCC and the FTC for violation of telemarketing rules, and her supervisor said the number would be on the list immediately.

    What really got me was that they use a computer directed calling system, and all she had to do was issue a command. Big lesson they both learned was to never, EVER, BS a tech.

    "By your logic, we should allow Iran and North Korea to have/create WMDs as long as we approve of their leaders."

    That's usually how it works.

    Back when Iraq was slugging it out with Iran, Saddam was the go-to boy of the U.S. Was known to use chemical and biological weapons during that war, and the U.S. never aired an objection.

    "As Perry Mason might say, it goes to motive and opportunity. Did the National Socialist Party enact gun control because they were terribly concerned about innocent German citizens being killed, or because it was more convenient to have an unarmed populace? Were the results of that particular legislation positive or negative?"

    As the saying goes... "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

    You want to know what would make the U.S. a safer, happier, and more pleasant place? That would be if assholes like you would just pack your shit up and go away. Move your ass to France or some other place where assholes congregate. Don't go away mad, just go away.

    I know what would really burn your liberal faggot ass... if Symanted were blocking communistic liberal web sites while not blocking freedom loving conservative web sites.

    'Hackers' all have their own individual logos. A 'unified logo'? Only lamers and script kiddies will use it, and that might not be a bad thing. At least it will mark that group for immediate exclusion.

    here's an excerpt, make of it what you wish...

    "An FBI affidavit said he subsequently sold the stock for more than $5 million, which he allegedly used to fund a second, scheme. The form said Gordon supposedly used the $5 million to induce a Cisco business partner, an interactive voice response start-up called Spanlink, to eventually deliver $10 million into a phony venture capital firm he established.

    Spanlink had been seeking a cash infusion from Cisco last year; Gordon agreed to provide the $5 million through the venture firm named Bay Star Capital. Spanlink was unaware that Gordon was acting on his own, even though Bay Star listed his home address. The deal called for Bay Star to eventually get $10 million in equity in exchange for the original investment. "
