  1. Re:You don't realise how much you love it... on Rabid TiVo Fanaticism · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just wait to Tivo goes out of business.

  2. Re:Irony on Validity of Web-Forms-Based Advocacy Questioned · · Score: 1

    I agree. Changed Republican to Party in Power and it's perfect.

  3. I am afraid. on SMTP AUTH and ODMR Providers for Personal SMTP Service? · · Score: 0

    That's what you are going to have to do....buy the Business account.

  4. I think the least of your troubles is the ring. on Designing and Making Custom Wedding Bands? · · Score: 1
    I haven't talked to my "wife to be" about the engagement ring yet (touchy topic), but she might be willing to go with a simple engagement ring, or just put the money toward a wedding band.


    You're getting married in 8 months and you can't talk to your soon to be wife because it's a touchy subject? It's not gonna get any easier. Wait til the issue of finances come up. I hope you are prepared.

  5. Re:Hmm on U.S. Sides with Record Labels Over DMCA Subpoena Powers · · Score: 1

    They will go after the person who pays the bill. And yes, parents are liable for what their children do.

  6. Re:3. Profit! on Fox Sues Over Reuse Of Public-Domain Documentary · · Score: 1

    And what software has Stallman released to the Public Domain?

  7. My take on rebates. on Are Rebates Scandalous? · · Score: 1

    I shop with the mentality of "I want that and it's within my price range." I don't look for or count on rebates. Yeah I fill out the forms and send them in but at that point if I get a check it's just gravy. I've never bought anything because it had a rebate.

  8. Blackboard. on Slashback: Discipline, License, Name-calling · · Score: 1

    Man that Press Release from them was something else. "Our product is secure but only if someone doesn't plug a card reader into a sniffer but that's Vandalism and is illegal!!!"

  9. Re:Freevo, MythTV on Linux Media Jukebox on the Cheap · · Score: 3, Informative

    MythTV looks cool but for god's sake don't go looking for help from the developers. They point you to instructions that don't work. Then when you ask a question they again pint you to the instructions and then they call you stupid when you tell them that you get an error on step 3 of the instructions.

    The whole attitude was that MythTV was great and had no bugs. Anyone who reported a bug was an idiot and should go back to Windows.

  10. Re:Hmm, maybe somebody else should sue spammers.. on AOL Sues Five Spam Companies · · Score: 1

    Well, I am pretty sure that the spammers don't call the emails they send out SPAM.

  11. Re:Lowell MI on Building a Town-Wide LAN? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't forget to factor in the taxes used to build that cheap network infrastructure.

  12. Re:Shamelessly ripped from the Newgroups... on Time Warner DVR box vs. TiVo? · · Score: 1
    "No indication of disk space used or remaining space available"

    Current Status: Current design of the box does not allow for this feature.

  13. Huh? on Linux On Unmodded Xbox, Improved · · Score: 1

    The DMCA is a law, it has no feeling.

  14. Re:NYTimes registration. on NYT On Google's Role In Internet Advertising · · Score: 1
    # It is entirely plausible, in fact likely, that the New York Times are, in fact, selling information.


    I bet they are. Why else collect the info?


    # Since you are responding antagonistically to an advocate of falsifying login information, I can assume you're an advocate of creating your own account. How is a unique, falsified account any better than a shared, falsified account?


    Actually, no I don't advocate creating any kind of account. I either search google, and go that way or I use the super secret archives, trick.


    # Further based upon your statement, it seems you're not aware of a practise employed by many websites out there of tracking cookies to extract surfing habits, purchasing decisions, etc.


    I know full well that websites do that. Good for them. If I can't view the page without cookies, I usually don't go back. If I am really interested, I enable cookies and delete them when I leave. Quite simple really.

  15. Re:Good news. on Firefly Coming to DVD · · Score: 1

    Twin Peaks only last 2 seasons right?

  16. Good news. on Firefly Coming to DVD · · Score: 1

    How is your privacy invaded? Do you fill out the forms with real info????

  18. Re:John Markoff of Kevin Mitnick fam on NYT On Google's Role In Internet Advertising · · Score: 1, Funny

    Your comment reminded me of a Chris Rock bit, where he went on how when people get in trouble, they don't take responsibility but instead blame the media. "Oh no, run, it's the media!!!!"

  19. Re:"If the buzz is any indicator..." on Wired on Hollywood's Elite Message Boards · · Score: 1

    Bull. Jay and Silent Bob was a success because Kevin Smith built a cult following from Clerks on thru. Clerks, a true indie film, by the way.

  20. Re:I run an idie label... on Indies Blossoming Despite RIAA · · Score: 1

    What genres. I'm always looking for good indie stuff. I like CDs.

  21. Blah. on How Broad is Broadband? · · Score: 1

    I'm stuck with 56k dialup. Which is really just 53.3 because of FCC regs.
