    I cannot believe that you guys pay money to troll.

  2. Re:repeat after me on Telemarketers Sue Over "Do Not Call" List · · Score: 1

    This still does not stop companies that I do business with, with my real name, from selling my information to marketing firms.

    The majority of the phone calls that I get are from telemarketers calling on BEHALF of the credit card companies that I use.

    Ah, yes indeed. You see, I went for the distance, but I NEGLECTED TO SCALE THE DAMNED PLANETS!

    Are you in Michigan? Will you be Saturn?

  4. I think we .. on Maine Completes Largest To-Scale Solar System Model · · Score: 3, Funny

    can beat this if we all get together.

    I'm in Michigan -- I'll hang a basketball ("Jupiter") outside of my house.

    Now, we need someone in New York state to be "Saturn", and someone in Minnesota to be "Mars".

    Who's with me?

  5. Re:How long.. on Major Tablet PC Running Into Problems? · · Score: 4, Informative

    ".. can you run one before you need to recharge?"

    My HP/Compaq TC1000 runs for around 2.5 hours with the built in WiFi turned off. Once enabled, depending on my connection rate, I get about 1.5 - 1.75 hours. NOT enough for a day of meetings without a power plug nearby. I'm very disappointed with the battery life on this unit.

    The battery is removable, so I'll be purchasing a spare.

    My friend has the Fujitsu that allows a higher capacity battery, and he routinely sees 3-3.5 hours with WiFi.

    "I live in Canada, but when I get a sat it won't be from Canada....and I will not pirate. I'll be getting a US address and Direct TV."

    You'll get Directv because the sat companies in Canada are not turning a profit?

    >> Ummm, because the physical size of the pixels would be freakin dinky as hell and thus hard to see?

    So, that's ok on my laptop screen, but not on my desktop? How is this?

    Perhaps I don't want a 15" 1600x1280 display, perhaps a 16" or 17".... But my point is, we don't see these resultions until we hit 20"+.

    No, I want a 15" 1600x1280 display that I currently have in my Dell 8200 -- but on my desktop.

    Why is it that we can't have resolutions like this on a smaller (sub 20") display?

  21. Re:No Kidding... on Where's Your Nearest Wireless Access Point? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like Mr. Greyfox has cell phone envy. If you cannot get a cell phone because your credit is so bad, there is the option of getting one of those pre-paid plans. Visit your local 7-Eleven and pick one up for yourself.

    Does anyone have a "Thousand dollar review" for this thing yet - or do we have to wait for Chris Chabot/redir to rip something off?

    Cheap - The whole Apex line. Cheap as in price and cheap as in quality. $150 at Circuit City for their latest which decodes just about anything. Many have complained about the Apex 600's overheating .. I've had mine for just under a year now and it's running fine. Of course, it's not my only DVD player - I use a Sony for movies, and leave the Apex for MP3's and VCD's.
