  1. Re:Solution looking for a problem on High Definition Radio is Here · · Score: 1

    Most college radio is the same cookie-cutter crap that you hear on clear channel stations, just with that "I don't know how to speak clearly" charm. Want to listen to REAL radio? WFMU.

  2. Re:A way around the system on Automagic No-Fly-Zone Enforcement · · Score: 1

    What part of "fly by wire" don't you understand? ... No, I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Osama.

  3. Re:library on Buying Music from Other than iTunes? · · Score: 1

    How is that any different than downloading the songs off Kazaa? Just as "wrong".

  4. Re:actually on Woman Ticketed For Nude Pics On Internet · · Score: 1

    I call bullshit. Prove me wrong.

  5. Cha-Ching! on Dell Throws In For The +R/+RW Standard · · Score: 1

    This story smells like some sort of lame attempt at free adverstising. You suck!

  6. OH NO! ALARMIST! on Warning: Exploding Batteries · · Score: 1

    Jeez, this guy writes like someone in Ann Coulter's Baby Gestapo or something.

  7. Re:All technology is driven by 3 things.... on What Applications Will Drive System Performance? · · Score: 1

    The porn lobby are the ones pushing the FCC to go to HDTV? All this time I thought it was the greedy networks who wanted to ensure people didn't distribute their boring content.

  8. Re:Don't take your laptop? on Security Tips for Traveling with Tech Gear · · Score: 1

    No you can't. The connection is done over either HF in transoceanic flights, or VHF when flying about the US. Either way, the connection sucks, at least the last time i've seen someone try it.

  9. Re:All I got for Christmas was cheese on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    Think of it as "back rent". Your mom carried you around in her uterus for 9 months, the least you could do is cover the security deposit!

  10. Re:share the pain demo? on Postal 2 - Share the Pain Demo for GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    Nice gross generalization. Please, provide us with some sort of documentation for your ridiculous claim.

  11. Re:Free is the way to go here. on Working Toward Roaming For Wireless ISPs · · Score: 1

    By limiting access in any way, you lose any chance to use the "common carrier" defense, if that actually has any legal standing. A common carrier is someone who merely provides a means for communications, and holds no liability for what travels over the line. Think of the phone company -- someone calls you and rips you off or threatens you, the phone company can not be held liable for any damages or anything like that.

  12. Re:People knew it was too good to be true... on ReplayTV Price Drop Bait-and-Switch · · Score: 1

    Yeah, poor, poor corporations! They can't afford to pay some 5.25 an hour wage-slave to slap a NEW sticker on the box that would inform their customers of the true nature of the product. It's a shame! Let's all go out and buy all their products now to make up for the fact that some bad apples might have actually believed an advertisement.

  13. Re:Wow... on ReplayTV Price Drop Bait-and-Switch · · Score: 1

    No, the parent was right, it does take balls. Of course, it takes steel toed boots to kick the company in the balls.

  14. Re:Oh? on LinuxWorld Moving to Boston · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Free is the way to go here. on Working Toward Roaming For Wireless ISPs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Provide me the free bandwidth and legal immunity from the users of the hotspot, and I'll give you a free hotspot.

  16. Re:cool on Cube House · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You're such a fag!

  17. Re:$10 on LinuxWorld Moving to Boston · · Score: 1

    And remember, the so-called "Chinatown bus lines" are responsible for gang violence and murder in New York and Boston. If you want to sponsor that, go ahead. Instead, look into Amtrak. It's really not that bad.

  18. Re:Yay on Linux 2.6.0 Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    There are patches that do this, but Gentoo will add the patches and make sure everything is nice and rosy just by typing emerge nvidia-kernel and linking /usr/src/linux to the kernel you want drivers for.

  19. Re:Isn't it a hardware issue ? on Screening for Fax Calls with Panther? · · Score: 1

    Isn't that the point of going for a Mac over another platform? Because paying the extra bucks gives you the extra functionality? Oh.

  20. Re:Some simple ideas on Setting up a System w/ Wake-on-LAN and VNC? · · Score: 1

    I bet the guy doesn't have a chain and 3 deadbolts on the door to the room where his computer lives. He better get with the program, right!

  21. Remember the old adage: on Blockbuster Chief: End DVD Region Codes · · Score: 1

    I think Nigel should stop putting his cart in front of his horse.

  22. Re:Paperless Billing on Paperless Billing? · · Score: 1

    I worked at Dunkin Donuts for a while in High School, and the .95 cent small coffee was my favorite to pocket. People would just toss a dollar at me and run away. Where do you think that dollar went? Ahh, the good old days of low morale jobs...wait.. :(

  23. Re:Just like the banks do on Financial Anonymity and Privacy with DMT? · · Score: 1

    Yeah. There's not a business practice called lending money. I've never heard of this little thing called interest.

    You, my friend, are even more of a dumbass. The money from overdraw and ATM fees buy the bank's board of directors new slippers or something. The real money is made through loans and interest on that loan.

  24. Re:UserBSD is a better idea than UserLinux on UserBSD vs. UserLinux - Is It Feasible? · · Score: 1

    Less stable? Robust? Quantify these terms, because they sound a whole lot like marketing-speak without any data to back them up.

  25. Re:windows users are the problem... on Explaining The Windows/UNIX Cultural Divide · · Score: 1

    Port 427 isn't open by default on your OSX machine?
