  1. Re:Bill DID say he was leaving microsoft... on Get on the 'Gates for President' Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    But Bill Gates wasn't in Predator.

    What if Carl Weathers was Vice President?

  2. Re:I'd like another button.. on TiVo Lets You Respond to Ads · · Score: 1

    A tivo logs every button pressed, what channel you are currently on, and a pretty accurate timestamp if I recall correctly (it's been a few years since I examined the log files on mine.) After the log files are compressed they are sent to Tivo during its daily phone call home.
    While not elegant in any way, a method to determine who 'Thumbs Up'-ed an advertisement could be as simple as grepping for a particular channel and timestamp in all of the logs. Assuming the log data is inserted into a database makes this even easier.

  3. Re:A few bits.... on TiVo-like Application for XM Radio Under Fire · · Score: 1

    The difference is that US CD-R 'data' cds are not taxed similarly. And since there is no appreciable difference between CD-R 'audio' and 'data' cds, it seems a bit silly.

  4. Re:What About Refills? on Toshiba Develops World's Smallest Fuel Cells · · Score: 1

    Last time I heard of a refillable cigarette lighter exploding was about 2 years ago. Apparently they don't take kindly to 5-irons and my skin didn't take kindly to the resulting shrapenal.

  5. Re:Darl caught lying in Salt Lake on SCO Lobbying Congress Against Open Code · · Score: 1

    Darl McBride: documented liar
    documented liar: lobbyist?
    lobbyist: politician?

  6. Re:"Almost no radiation" != "None" on Clean Nuclear Launches? · · Score: 1

    I believe radium coated dials on wristwatches are illegal in California if not the US. Current 'glow in the dark' coatings just use phosphorus compounds?

  7. Re:Dodgy data on Slashback: Unstranding, Xecurity, Spurning · · Score: 1

    Uh...aren't Macs known for their ease of use? I would guess that is more of a factor than having a more 'technical' ownership group.

  8. Re:some "solution" on FEMA Opposes Broadband Over Powerlines · · Score: 1

    I believe Reggie Jackson lost his classic car collection in the 1991 Oakland Hills Fire. There are now 6 or 7 houses where his garage/house used to be.

  9. Not necessarily a virus on CD-ROMs Failing In Win2k & XP Boxes? · · Score: 1

    DVD drives magically pulling a disappearing act happened to me yesterday on XP. The article listed below describes cd burning software being the culprit, while in my case it was video capturing software/drivers.

  10. Longhorn already needs windows update on Longhorn in 2006 · · Score: 1

    Just noticed this poking around the longhorn screenshots. The little critical-update-ready-to-install icon is already on the desktop: http://www.winsupersite.com/images/showcase/lh4029 _2_028.jpg

  11. Re:Procmail finally on SoBig: Worst is Yet to Come · · Score: 1

    You might want to be a little more careful with (probably mangled):
    * ^Content-Disposition: (attachment|inline);
    * name=.*\.(asd|bat|bin|chm|cil|cmd|com|dll|dot|exe| hlp|hta|inf|ini|js|lnk|nws|ocx|pif|pl|reg|scr|sea| sh(b|s)|spl|swf|vb|vb(e|s)|ws(c|f|h)|xlt|mda|mdt|m dw)

    Also some macs do not MIME encode but uuencode so you might also want to include a recipe like so:
    * !^Mime
    * ^end
    * ^begin .*\.(asd|bat|bin|chm|cil|cmd|com|dll|dot|exe|hlp|h ta|inf|ini|js|lnk|nws|ocx|pif|pl|reg|scr|sea|sh(b| s)|spl|swf|vb|vb(e|s)|ws(c|f|h)|xlt|mda|mdt|mdw)
