    Here Here! I don't always want all of my downloads to go to my desktop!

  2. Re:That sucks on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 1

    I can't stand the infantile toyish UI of firefox.. mozilla looks very nice and like Netscape used to... I always change mozilla to the classic theme.. I can't stand the modern... firefox looks too XPish for me... and it's too light.. doesn't do all of the stuff that mozilla does...

  3. Re:This dpesn't seem likely on Open Source Tax Products? · · Score: 2

    Ok here is what I don't understand.. when I get payed... that came off my paycheck.. my employer has my SS#... now... if I DON'T pay my taxes or pay too little the IRS comes after me.. they must know how much I owe.. further.. stocks, paycheck, loans, etc everyone has my SS#... and (as far as I know) reports my income.. so why do I have to file the work again?

  4. Re:Quality? on Is VoIP Google's Next Frontier? · · Score: 1

    Mine is fine.. if he's cutting in and out it's his ISP *NOT* his voip provider.

  5. Re:It's getting out of hand. on John Gilmore's Search for the Mandatory ID Law · · Score: 1

    Good.. I don't plan on getting rid of my belly button any time soon!

  6. Re:Share Source is not shared on Microsoft Ponders Shared-Sourcing SQL Server · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Indeed.. there is a huge difference between shared source and open source.... I've been told also that shared source some how they make it so that it will not compile??? I don't know exactly how you do that but that sounds like it's not the whole source then!

  7. Re:Hack-a-do on HP Secretly Rendering Printer Cartridges Unusable? · · Score: 1

    Where from do you get the fuse to repair it? And how do you replace it? Is there online documentation about this?

  8. How does it figure it? on HP Secretly Rendering Printer Cartridges Unusable? · · Score: 1

    I don't get it... how does the printer sync time with the cartridge? As far as I know I've never set the time on my HP printer... how does it and the catridge talk about time?

  9. Re:My question on Microsoft's Martin Taylor Responds · · Score: 1

    We currently run the LTSP on our tech floor and a semi-large ISP. I have to say that I love it... and so do they. I've even skinned the desktop manager to run a WindowsXP like theme... have not heard one complaint.

  10. Re:Breaking News on Oakland County to go Wireless · · Score: 1

    Are they using technology that a regular 802.11b card could get on? Or are they using something that frequency hops like Alvarion gear?

  11. Re:24dBi Point To Point Antennas for around $55 ea on Wide Area Wireless on a Shoestring Budget? · · Score: 1

    Where do you figure 2.5Ghz from? 2.4Ghz, 900, or 5.8 is what most outdoor wireless runs on.

  12. Re:Simple solution on New Spam Zombies Use ISPs' Mailservers · · Score: 1

    Because.... unfortunately to require SMTP-AUTH opens you up to spam attacks of people OUTSIDE your network.. takes only a few moments of dictionary attacking for joe hacker to find an insecure SMTP-AUTH accout to use.

    And before you say.. make your users use secure passwords... my employees have a hard enough time with their 8 character + 2 special character + 1 upper case and + number passwords!... can you see grandma doing that (yeah it's all about catering to the masses ugh!)..

    Naw.. but the ChiliTech SpamCobra would stop this.

  14. He did not have access to credit card numbers. on Hacker Penetrates T-Mobile Systems · · Score: 1

    Oh well that's a relief... had access to social security numbers, but not credit cards... weeeeeee.. I'm put at ease now...

  15. Re:hire an accountant on Tax Time Again: Any Linux Solutions? · · Score: 1

    For those of us not up on things.. what do you mean standard deductions? Instead of itemizing?

  16. Re:Turbo Tax, AGAIN on Tax Time Again: Any Linux Solutions? · · Score: 1

    Same here.. I payed $75 last year.. it's nice to have them to go back on too.

  17. Re:I have an open access point at my work on Vonage to Produce a WiFi Phone · · Score: 1

    Vonage does not use ports 51-53.. and 53 is DNS.. no way your campus would block that.

  18. Re:Bandwidth. on Vonage to Produce a WiFi Phone · · Score: 1

    What VoIP provider do you use? Vonage requires 90k/sec

  19. Re:Security update? on Anti-Santy Worm Patches phpBB Flaw · · Score: 1

    Indeed.. to use the original analogy. It would be like seeing the front door of your house wide open.. and no one there. I close the door and lock it and leave you a note.

  24. Re:Where is the money coming from? on Sprint Close to Buying Nextel · · Score: 1

    Nope they closed up... there was a notice on the store window for several months (may still be there) that said the closest store for service (it didn't say that.. those are my words) was in Scranton! yeah right.. like I'm going to drive to Scranton to get my phone services...

    It basically said... to serve you better, we have closed this store to cut costs. You can still find us at blah blah in Scranton.

    Hey.. does this mean there is another Williamsportite on here? :)
