  1. Re:I don't want Java in my Windows! on Microsoft Ordered to Carry Java · · Score: 2

    Gee, maybe for something like.. java web applets?

  2. Re:In other news... on Adobe Finds No Elcomsoft-Cracked E-Books · · Score: 2

    That IS legal, and thats how some people get around SDMI.

  3. Re:giving auth data where appropriate on RadioShack Stops Being Nosy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yeah. Thats the way it is at ANY bank. My bank, however, provides a separate account number on checks than your correct number, so in the case of anyone stealing your checks and trying to make transfers, they simply print you new checks with a new number on them, deactivating the old one.

    PSECU =)

  4. Re:Real Men Have Racks on How Looks Your Geekroom? · · Score: 1

    Maybe the insulation?

  5. Re:"All I have to say is ew! Ew! Ew! Ew!!!" on Ants Invade iBook · · Score: 2

    Dude, I'd be fucking grossed out if I had a laptop colonzied by aunts too, but my reaction would be like "get that the FUCK away from me!"

    Well, we would, but we'd be sued.

  7. Re:Motorola P280 on Sony Ericsson Makes a tri-band GPRS modem · · Score: 2

    Unfortunatly, it wouldn't work with some providers in the USA - ATTWS doesn't use Circuit Switched Data, thye only use their very expensive GPRS service.

  8. Of course on New Movie Download Pay Service · · Score: 2

    everyone on Slashdot hates it, because it's Windows only.

    I groked up the $4.95 to rent Ocean's Eleven, I'll report on how it is when it's done downloading. 561mb file.

  9. Re:Land Transfer Tax on Microsoft: You Need Permission to Sell Our Software · · Score: 2

    hrm. I just bought a car yesterday, and Saab didn't come up to me and request a title fee. Sure, the messenger did and so did the State, but the maker of the automobile never did. I OWN the automobile just as I OWN the license to use the software. My license doesn't have my name on it. My title does, and it's registered with the State. What if bluelight.com went to CompUSA and bought the software? M$ doesnt even know they own it (until now, anyway)

  10. Oops? on Slashdot is Moving. Help Load Test! · · Score: 2

    Okay, I have 5 mod points or regular slashdot.

    But on Brak, I have thirty.

  11. Re:In the UK... on Online Banking And Browser Support · · Score: 2

    It's not a disability. It's your own stupid choice. You're just as welcome to use a standard browser than, say, NS 2.01.

  12. Re:Trigger Happy TV on Cellphones On Airplanes · · Score: 2

    nono. Have you not seen trigger happy TV? On pretty much every episode, there's the cell phone guy. out of nowhere, a nokia tune will play horrendously loud, and he'll scream the above into a GIANT (almost as big as him) cell phone.

  13. Re:Sigh... on Cellphones On Airplanes · · Score: 2

    well, our network works just fine, thankyouverymuch. We've got GSM, too. SMS on every network (well, except analog). Damn eurocentric bastards.

  14. Re:Hydrogen on Battery-Powered Plane Taxis, Set To Fly Soon · · Score: 2

    i'd like to see you find me a gas bottle that can handle enough pressure to hold liquid hydrogen.

  15. Re:The system does suck and I don't use it on Judge Says Paypal's Arbitration Rules Unfair · · Score: 2

    oh, they will. Just find government issued ID, a copy of the statement, get their fax cover sheet (your own wont work, you MUSt use theirs) and wait 6-8 weeks, they'll unlock it!

  16. Re:Commuter society sucks... on Ford Pulls The Plug on Electric Cars · · Score: 2

    in PA, they noticed that teens crash a lot, so instead of taking the bad ones off the road (you get 3 chances at the test per permit, but there's nothing stopping you from buying anothetr permit for $5 and taking another 3 until you get a nice tester that lets you pass). You now have to be 16.5 instead of 16.

    a flaming homo?

  18. Re:Government work! on What Types of Jobs are Best Suited for Telecommuters? · · Score: 2

    Plus you have to murder someone to get fired from a government job. Serendipity!

    Nah, you can get away with that, too. We have a paroled 1st degree voluntary manslaugsterer working with us. He got his job back on parole.

  19. Re:How people get rich on Why are Businesses Willing to Spend More for Software? · · Score: 2

    How the hell does that make him cheap, because he WORKS for his money and doesnt waste it on some teen wanting $20 to do a few feet of walkway?

    What I dont get is the gifs of michael dancing next to the green penis thruster machine. WTF?!

  21. Re:This is actually quite OK on FEC Permits Anonymous SMS Spam · · Score: 2

    AT&T Wireless charges no fee whatsoever to recieve messages, and a $0.10 per message fee for ones you send. However, I pay $4.95/mo, and they give you 100 sent messages, and after that, it's $0.10/msg.

  22. Re:Solutution on FEC Permits Anonymous SMS Spam · · Score: 2

    No, it wouldn't.

    The FCC was very, VERY slow in approving Bell Telephone's request for airspace in the 800MHz frequency range so it could deploy cellular. In fact, they took TEN YEARS to approve the request.

  24. Re:Explain this to me please: on FEC Permits Anonymous SMS Spam · · Score: 2

    Not if you send it to the phone's email address - eg, at&T: NUMBER@mobile.att.net sends the email to the telephone.
