    Where are my moderation post on the days when I really need them :(

  2. Re:What's the problem? on "Smart Tags," Round Two · · Score: 2

    Yes, and thats the whole debate, wither this feature will really be shipped off, or on. Or maby it will be shipped off in a way that the novice can easily accidently turn it on, like the first time you run IE it pops up with,

    "Do you want to turn on smart tags, this feature will enable ........"
    ( ) don't show me this box again
    _
    ( )|/ cancel
    ` |\

    If it works in such a way, most if not all novice will browse with it on, without having any idea that it is under their control, and most likly that such links are not created by the web site owner, thus violating the rights of the context owner to have thier site be their content. I and only I have the right to choose such a feature to purposfully create such a barrier between me and the site creator, MS does not have the right to make this choice for me, by either shipping it as on, or in some manipulative way, seeing to it that all novices eventually have it on.

    No, see you take the first one, return it to the store saying there was something wrong with the cd can you swap it out for the same game. Then you have one with the wrapping on it, go back at a different time and swap that out :)

    Well you have to remember Corperations are people too. And last time I checked it was illigal to bribe, rackater, and blackmail. And its definatly UnAmerican to not punish someone just because they are popular. Though it becoming the "American" way.

  5. Re:But can we overclock them? (serious) on The Lamps Are The Network · · Score: 2

    Well if you bothered to read the article you'd find tha answer. The idea came from him working with the new Ballast which increase the HZ rating (to reduce eye-strain) seperating it from the natural HZ of the electricity. Realizing this seperation was possible, he figured he could produce signals by flucuating this HZ.

    Using nightlies right after milestones? Thats when they are most unstable. But actually try

    Well thats kinda like a lease contact, they can change your rate if they want to, they just have to give you a warning and allow you leave with no penalty if you decide to bail.

    Whoa??? You obviously don't know much about freenet. Obviously you'd need to set it up a bit different so that old keys don't get lost. But I digress

  11. Re:Immortality Rings on Ask Internet Icon Alex Chiu · · Score: 2

    No he specifically says this doesn't protect you for accidents or deisese, just that you don't grow any older. Oh and he also said the gravity is created by teh rubbing of the earth plates to create static-electricity, which he says is the same as gravity :)

    Where have you been PSM2.0 came out over a month ago, and fixed almost all of Mozilla's SSL problems.

  13. Re:Dynamic pricing is not altogether bad on Dynamic Pricing Returns · · Score: 2

    Ok sorry, I had thought your point was that if they had sold them all at 4,999 then they would have lost X amount of money, Which is actually 20,000. Now the kicker here is how do you know they will pay 5,000 over 4,999 as you could easily misprice a dollar over what they will pay and therefor lose 150 customers ak (224,850-cost) as opposed to getting all your customers at 4,999 and only loosing 20,000. Though I guess that could be benificial if your cost is too high enough, its a balancing act in and of itself

    As an airline, I know that business travellers are capable of paying a lot more than students.

    Ok 1500-1499=1

    Where did you get 244,850 I really want to know?

    In most languages there are things called expressions these such expressions don't have to fit proper grammer, nor do they have to be complete sentences. As they are only expressions, geez deal with it.

  20. Re:Bell on Mundie Responds · · Score: 1

    Don't know why I said Bell, I must have been toking (spelling?) on something real hard. Anyways the thing about it backfiring was a complete joke, but I never knew that the original electric chair had its own generator. Thanks for the info, makes alot of since really thanks :)

  21. Re:Bell on Mundie Responds · · Score: 3

    Not only did he use the electricity to kill an elephant (which was very sick and had to be put to sleep anyways). But he invented the electric chair, which used AC power to scare people away from it. Hmm Bell invents electric chair -> prisons need electricity for chair, prisons use alot of electricity -> electric company sets up for AC to supply prison and uses AC for everyone else. HMMM looks like the plan backfired. (ok so maby thats not the real reason we use AC but its kinda funny to think about)

    I may just be a plain analog signal that was put onto the disk instead of a compressed signal, but you can be sure it had to be turned into 1's and 0's before actually being burned to the disk. Or is this some magic optical disk burned by the fairy princess.
