  1. Re:And you ask /. on Unreasonable Searches When Going to Work? · · Score: 1

    Yea if you want to go on there property you play
    by there rules. Just like if they want to put
    cameras up and watch you, you may not like it but
    its the freedom you have to give up if you want
    there money(pay check). Maybe the real question
    is would you want 100 people a day walking in and
    out of your home every day who have not been
    checked? This is a fine line but one that will
    become more common in these times.

  3. Re:don't buy an iPaq for Linux on Info on the New iPAQ H3800 · · Score: 1

    Some problems I had with the Agenda VR3.

    1. I need rechargeable in the cradle, I tried rechargeable batteries and they just did not cut it.
    2. Color you really want color in a pda these days.
    3. The Compaq Flash adapter for IPAQ just rules, then there is the pcmcia adapter no way to do this
    with the VR3

    I had the developer version of the VR3 and sold it, just could not stand these short falls, but as a base
    idea it was great if they fix the few short falling then I would definitely look into there products again.
    When I let them know this they said they will look into to it for future produces, but I can buy a IPAQ
    now.

    Now that's what I would call a monopoly!

    While I realize they never say one OS, I am sure
    that is what they mean. Could this be used in
    court?

    out of operation.

    plaintiff: Well there website says: "there should
    be only one system." and I am pretty sure they do not mean mine.

    JUDGE: And what is your goal?

    plaintiff: To drive M$ out of business

    JUDGE: So its ok for you but not for them?

    plaintiff: Yea, but I have no chance in hell.

    Freedom and USA -- Submitted to slashdot.org

    Listening to all the news reports I have come across a common theme, "tighten security". While this sounds good in theory if you listen to
    what the US government is saying this will come with a price on americans freedom. While I value human life as much as any other person I
    we can not impose on the very freedoms that make this country great, or whom ever is found to be behind these vicious attack will have
    not only have murdered our people, they will have kill the great freedom our country claims to embrace. Check out these links and see what

    You don't have to look far to answer your question. Why did so may give there lives for that freedom? You die so that others may truly live. The people who died for our independence and to form this country understood from the lack of freedom and now it is YOU who have forgot the death of well more than 5000 people for that freedom. While I morn those that have died in these terrorist attacks I weep also for those that have died for the freedoms you seem so willing to give up.

    I agree. If you dont like the junk mail just
    filter it out. Heck if you use procmail on the
    server you can dump it to /dev/null before it
    even hits you desktop.

    Now if you can not use procmail on you mail server maybe you should think about that problem first.

    If you give this a thumbs up that keep your darn
    mouth shut when they close down you website
    because someone does not like it showing up on
    their web search.
