    Rock on. I really liked the first Zelda for the Super Nintendo. It was a game where I could lounge in front of the TV for a day playing this game and truly be caught up in the action. I have yet to find ANY pc games that match this playability and enthrallment that I found with Zelda.

    I do use one of those cards because I dont *care* about what they see I buy. Its a pet store. If you charge your purchase via credit card, it will be your credit card that will be noticing. I *choose* to disregard this for the convience of using both is much greater. I don't need to carry cash and I get rake-offs on my purchases (and I don't get mugged for carrying around a buttload of cash!).

    Or as mentioned many times before...just don't buy from them. Many people seem to believe that shopping online is a RIGHT by law. Its not...its a convience. There are plenty of b&m stores out there that you can buy from...its nice to get out of the house once and a while. There is actually a world outside of your computer. hehehe.

  7. Go to brick and mortar on Shopping Online While Protecting Your Privacy? · · Score: 2

    We keep hearing this more and more on ./. I think the solution is simple. If privacy on the net is a big issue for you, and you need to buy something at a grocery store...go to the REAL store. When you walk into the store you are not required to sign any of your information away. Its the old adage..you can't get nothing FOR nothing. The only thing that is vaguely making sites profitable right now is Advertising (and p()rn/ebay). Its information that is useful for them in marketing etc. If you don't like it, keep using junkbuster and DON'T visit their site. You could also just email the site and mention the reason why you're not using their site and then find one that doesn't (if possible).

  15. Re:Why? on Linux on a Wrist Watch? · · Score: 1

    According to an article at Wired it seems as though they did this to prove that it could be done. IBM is trying to show that Linux is by far the best operating system for an assortment of all kinds of devices, that can easily tweaked to suit the needs of the industry. Many said that Linux could not be scaled down this far...they are just showing that Linux is da bomb in scalability.

  17. Re:Restrict access on Checking Out Library Censorship · · Score: 1

    Thats a little harsh.
    That's just completely ignorant
    What is? Its against the law for children under the age of 18 to access pornography. Thats why.
    ...after all the school shootings people like you would learn
    Yet agai..learn what? The kids that committed those attrocities were deranged sociapaths. Lunnies so to speak. What's to learn? How would allowing them to access pornagraphy in a library or any non-web based filtering helped them to not have killed innocent people? Why should adults have any more access to legitimate information...
    Because they are not mature enough to handle it.
    Wise man reads, thinks, then posts. Fool only reacts.

    If you're in the DC area stay away from THIS company. They only sucked 2 months out of my life, but I spent a total of 8+ hours on hold!!! I was supposed to get long distance from them (never did) and 3 weeks later when I didn't have long distance I called up and a lady told me that: "Didn't you know? It takes 6-10 weeks to setup long distance". I called up another company and got long distance as soon as I got off the phone!

    I just think customer service is starting to REALLY suck in the US.

  19. Restrict access on Checking Out Library Censorship · · Score: 1

    I really don't see what the big fuss is. You can't simple go to a book store and buy porn on a shelf unless you are a certain age. The same should be true with libraries. Instead of filtering all computers to a point where I (aka, the adult American taxpayer citizen) can't research breast cancer or other pertinent health issues involving naughty words (breast, sex, and bears oh my) why not just stop the kids from getting access to the terminals? Have 2 sets of computers setup a grown up area and a kiddie area (like a kiddie/adult swimming pool). The kiddie area would use filters, and the adult area would have complete access. Then just post rules (like swimming pools) that say what you can and cannot do on the computer. I don't think looking up natalie portman porn is really an appropriate us of taxpayer internet time (I know I'm going to get reamed on that point!). Just my thoughts.

    It was actually the Challenger back in 1986. Luckily for NASA nothing to that horrid extent has ever followed. There are always risks in discovery. Those who are brave enough to do it are called Heroes.
