  1. big problem on New Cable Designed To Deter Copper Thieves · · Score: 2

    'round these parts - thieves are stealing HVAC units from the roofs of closed businesses, schools, etc.

    the problem is that the recyclers are paying in cash, and unless get wary when presented with a hundred or so bronze flower vases from a cemetery, just do a quick nod and a wink on the payout

  6. Re:The Elop Conspiracy on Nokia Windows Phone Revealed · · Score: 1

    gotta agree... and thanks for the N9 info - i was kinda wondering about the underlayment, and there was no way of knowing by reading the glossy info on the unit (i guess 'Linux' is not something the suits in Marketing think is good for brochures)... i will take a closer look at the N9 (still want an N900, but darn, my N800 just won't die and still suits me just fine)...

  7. who pays ... on Tennessee Makes it Illegal To Share Your Netflix Password · · Score: 1

    for Netflix anyway?

  8. what the ... on Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment · · Score: 2

    so the activists were protesting gm crops, but resorted to using pesticide? i didn't know the potato was a pest...

    the difference between Manning and Crowley is that one is an enlisted traitor and the other is a passed-over mouthpiece who stepped on his you-know-what

    Manning will be in jail for a long, long, long, long time

    Crowley will find somewhere to land inside the Belchway with others of his ilk

  16. Re:It even happens to the savy on Game Maker Says 40% of iTunes In-App Buys Are Fraud · · Score: 1

    and therein lies the problem...

    i had a series of small, fraudulent charges on a MasterCard account a year ago (during Xmas season); a couple clicks on-line and the charges were refunded by my bank

    but having to through iTunes (read similar to 'Paypal') means being at the mercy of a middle party

    i will NEVER use this type of purchase mechanism

    now all you geeks get off my Internet front lawn!
