  3. Re:This is ridiculous... on Wrestler Maxx Payne Sues Game Publisher · · Score: 1

    Darryl Peterson, AKA Max Payne, should have checked to make sure there wasn't anyone else already using the name Max Payne.

    Mr. Peterson started using the persona Max Payne in the 80's (see http://www.pinfalls.com/maxx.html)

    Too bad there was already an actor called Max Payne who was in a biker movie in 1972 (see http://us.imdb.com/Name?Payne,+Max)

  9. Re:Fool on Alleged eBay Hacker Goofs up and Goes to Jail · · Score: -1

    Nope... The quote has been attributed to Mark Twain, but according to the Quotable Lawyer, edited by David Shrager and Elizabeth
    Frost, New England Publishing Associates, Inc., 1986, p. 49, that saying is
    a proverb apparently so old that its original author is not known. They
    quote it as, "He that is his own lawyer has a fool for a client." They cite
    Rosalind Fergusson, The Facts on File Dictionary of Proverbs, 1983.

  14. How to use it on PalmTop offers legally binding E-signatures · · Score: 1

    Well I downloaded and installed this application...

    The fact that you can only sign Word and Adobe documents (as of right now) limits the real useage of this. What about spreadsheets, other word processors, Accounting software (ie: invoices and cheques)?

    I found at first that it was difficult to sign your Palm when it was in the cradle, but through experimentation I found that you can start the signing process, remove your Palm from the cradle, sign on the dotted line, place you palm back into the cradle and then click the OK button to upload the signature to the document...

    I wonder when it will support IR transfer... that would make things a lot easier (and a lot more usefull, ie: IR transmitter/recievers in ABM machines... sign to get your money)

  15. Re:new Batteries on Color Palms Announced · · Score: 1

    If you turn the beam recieve off (menu, apps, preferences)you will extend your batteries ~15-20%, also set you time off to 1 minute... I use my palm extensively every day (Ok, I admit it... a lot of the use is playing crib) and on average a set of batteries last me about a month...

    What Thoreau said was

    "Unjust laws exist; shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once?....I do not hesitate to say, that those who call themselves abolitionsists should at once efffectively withdraw their support, both in person and property, from the government of Massachusetts, and not wait till they constitute a majority of one, before they suffer the right to prevail through them....Moreover, any man more right than his neighbors, consitutes a majority of one already."
