  1. Re:Good... down with Real on Real Problems · · Score: 1

    It's still not a standard. It still gets zero use on my network.

  2. Re:Full series return unlikely on Sci Fi Confirms Forthcoming Farscape Miniseries · · Score: 2, Funny

    No no, this is farscape, not star trek.

  3. Re:One of those things that shouldn't surprise but on Pigeons' Bandwidth Advantage Quantified · · Score: 1

    I think the problem here is similar to that described in the RFC for IPACQOS when recommending against round-robins. The robins don't support a necessary homing feature. I think ducks may have some sort of homing mechanishm, but it's not precise, and tends to increase round trip transit times.

  4. Re:Just slightly OT on Keystroke Logger Faces Federal Wiretap Charges · · Score: 1

    You need to clear the cookies so it doesn't give you the option of posting anon or not, just allows only that. It's rather frustrating.

    And I'm just ignoring them. Why? Because nobody cares. I wouldn't have mentioned it if it wasn't directly related to her subject. The way you related okra makes me think of Uno now . . .

    I don't either. That's why I don't watch it.

    And people wonder why I don't watch teevee at all.

  8. Re:Affecting my university on Dealing with False AOL Spam Reports? · · Score: 1

    If you own the server, it's arguably okay. But when you send unsolicited commercial email to third parties, you're a spammer and should be reported as such. Sounds like stuff is working exactly how it should WRT blocking your spamhaus.

    (incoming messages get tagged as spam because of the HTML that the service wraps user messages in)

    The proper way to send a web page begins with http: not helo.

    Wrong way around. Flash will continue to disappear into oblivion.

    Try smart cards. That's what they're made for.

  12. Re:Gadget Nerds on What's in Your Gadget Bag, Cory? · · Score: 1

    It's on its way. I carry a phone/pda in my pocket all the time. The only thing it lacks is a camera. It does most of what I need (PDA stuff, im, notes, small storage hub). I have a laptop for heavy computing power (we're talking like up to encoding video - the pda does most of what I need). Since I don't have a camera in my phone, I carry a small digital video/still camera around in the laptop bag.

    That's it. Unfortunately the cam requires its own power cable, the PDA/phone doesn't charge from USB. The next version of the phone should have a camera, GPS, and bluetooth inegrated, so pretty much all the wires are eliminated. The only issue is charging.

    But the idea is two devices, one small and always with me, one bigger but portable. Oh, I could have a server or file store with me, but if I must back up, I'll just do a differential to another device, flash memory, or optical disc. The laptop holds a replica of most of my media store.

    Oh and I'm five minutes late for my lunch time beer. BBL.

    Because if you're a shoplifter, you're really going to worry about following every law out there.

    A taxi is not an effective form of transportation over the several hundred miles between cities. I doubt there are many taxis in new mexico outside of downtown santa fe and such.

    The first ICQ number is 1001. No idea why they started there. I tried selling one on ebay and it got shut down.

    I saw that. I figured it had to be a joke. Then I saw it was a live link. And I said "please, no"

  19. Re:How will they pay for this? on WiFi Free-For-All · · Score: 1

    Well mainly because we got tired of the excessive oppression, lack of personal freedom, lack of ability to defend ourselves, and needed room. Unfortunately, some of the Bad Stuff came with us.

    I've lived in Europe for two years, and somehow they just seem to live with a quiet life on Sundays. There is bus service on Sundays, but then they care for public service in general.
    Unfortunately (and in some aspects, I honestly mean that), this is not Europe.

    It's a nice warm fuzzy idea, but not everyone has the regular 8-5 M-F schedule. It's kinda screwing those people over.

    You were making sense until you started babbling about an arbitrary nonstandard format. It won't be usable to most people until it's in HTML or the like. Try again.

    I dropped my old nextel i1000 (I think that's what it was). The new i530 looks pretty durable too.
