  1. Re:Second hard disk + Linux on The Little Coder's Predicament · · Score: 1

    I always figured the answers to everything that we haven't discovered yet were locked away in our minds when were little, and by the time that were old enough to understand whats in our heads, were being told that everything won't work.

    I guess thats why I have to try everything for myself at least once, because maybe I was right and they were wrong.

    Always trust your instincts the first time, then if it doesn't work, listen to everyone else

  13. Re:Something to consider on Counterfeiting With High Resolution Inkjets · · Score: 1

    Awhile back I worked at a Kinko's and someone had come in, in the middle of the day and was copying 20's on the self serve copier, RIGHT UNDER A CAMERA, the assistant manager saw it, and went over and told them that what they were doing was illegal, and the guy just looked at him and basically told him to F.O. he could do what ever he wanted in the "self serve" area.

    So the A.M told him that he was under surveilance right now, and the guy was again not phased. So then the A.M. pointed to the camera right above the guy pointing directly on the surface of the copier to cover our backs in matters like this, and the guy still didn't care.

    So my Assistant Manager told him that they were going to call the police and walked away. The guy calmly finished his last few copies of bills, and walked over like he was going to pay at the express payment counter, and keeps walking out the front door.

    A few weeks later another kinko's about 10 miles away was held up at gun point and 4 people stole a color copier(CRAPPY one that had a service call on it too.)

  14. Re:More useless legislation on California Could Get $500/Offense Spam Law · · Score: 1

    Why cant we sue the ones that the product is advertised for?, that way you could sue them in small claims court(isn't $500 small claims enough?) no need to bother with an attourney.

    That will surely stop the spammers, and in the case of the porn sites, they are usually the ones spamming(i would guess). If the advertizer is sued for using a spamming service(I assume you could, IANAL), then the spammers would have to come up with another source of revenue. And if the advertiser does not wanna get sued all they have to do is give up the spammer, so that route could be followed.

    In the end the advertisers will not want to incur any legal fees, and will not look to spammers in the future.

    If I am WAY off base here then I am sorry, but it sounds reasonable to me

    And in NO WAY was I comparing a $50 mtn bike(mine was $1800, proving that even the expensive ones break down) with a $5k segway... the original poster stated essentially that if you have a mtn bike you it won't leave you stranded! Read the original post before you get all huffy, then you will understand the context of my post.

    ummm, you can call all the bullshit you want.

    the Secure in Secure digital I believe refers to the level of extra security in the card over that of an MMC card.
