  2. Like any of my conversations . . . on Microsoft Won't Say If Skype Is Secure Or Not. Time To Change? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    . . . with my Family are of interest to any government. Come on, Skype is for keeping in touch with the old folks at home. For anything serious you would use something more peer to peer without any 3rd party involved. And even then . . .

  3. Re:Persistent myth? on Why You Shouldn't Reboot Unix Servers · · Score: 1

    You brought back memories I'd rather not re-visit. SMIT. Has it really been 20 years already. RIP!

  4. Easy way to get even more in debt on Apple Revolutionizing Retail · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Exactly what we need, a quicker and even more painless way to add charges on our credit cards for stuff we don't really need. But of course the idea is sweet.

  5. milimeter? on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    How difficult is it to hit F7? Or run a spell check?

  8. who would think . . . on Dead? Hope You Left Someone Your Passwords · · Score: 2, Interesting

    . . . that you can read today's Email in 60 years? I doubt it very much. This is just the way things are going, hardly any letters are written by hand and even the CDs and inkjet printouts last that long.

  9. there's or there're or what? on Skywalker Ranch Wines · · Score: 1

    "Wonder if there's any spots on that ranch left that can make a good Star Wars movie?"

    shouldn't this be

  11. Sounds like a bargain... on Public Libraries Trading Quaintness For Cash · · Score: 1

    The example given does not really support the claims, does it? $1.66/book is hardly worth the effort.

    "These are books that would sell for $1 at the book sale, maybe. Online, the average is $15 to $20," Haran said. .... Since January, the Friends of the Boston Public Library has raised $10,000 selling 6,000 books online . . . "

  13. Re:Big shame on Galileo System To Include Jamming Capability · · Score: 1

    Uh, when you look at the last election in the US you wonder if they HAD already a coup d'etat. At least Michael Moore thinks so. (Stupid White Man)

  14. NPR - the way to go on Who Needs Radio? · · Score: 1

    I love my dose of news in the morning - tuning into KQED/NPR is part of the communte, despite having an IPOD at hand. Radio is here to stay!

  15. Re:woods on The Trilogy as One · · Score: 1

    No idea why this was modded funny, but the additional features on the DVD were actually really interesting. the insights in how the movie was created were well put together and I watched them all, even so I have normally the same attitude you have towards these add-ons.

  16. Re:GPS Flaws on Garmin iQue 3600 · · Score: 1

    You will crash if you try to use this thing on your lab whilst navigating the traffic in a city you don't know. With the discussion on mobiles phones and just talking on them being I wonder how badly this would influence the accident stats. OK, it has voice commands, but you are bound to fiddle with it anyway.

  17. Re:I was part of an elite team of business ... on iTunes: Don't Leave Home With Them · · Score: 1

    OOPS, you would obviously only understand the connection of this statement and the story if you read the actual story... My bad.

    Amen!

  20. Re:The quarter is hard enough on Making Change · · Score: 1

    This is so funny. You get this reaction at Taco bells, MC D, or BK as well. They look at you as if you were asking for some carnal knowledge or worse.

  21. Virtual reality on World's First Tree-sitting Weblog · · Score: 1

    Tree hugging with VR gloves is next?

  22. $$$ has hothing to do with it... on $20 Million on Lobbying Defeats CA Privacy Bill · · Score: 1

    As can be seen here, a money donation to a politician has never every anything to do with their decisions. What are you thinking, that we can buy politicians? Specially not Davis!
