  1. Re:Appropriate use on GPS-Enabled Criminals In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    Awesome plan except not everyone drives a landyacht gas guzzling SUPER car...

    That's the point, you should pay more for polluting more and for driving more (wear&tear on roadways) which you do in either case just because you have to buy more gas.

  2. Re:Appropriate use on GPS-Enabled Criminals In Massachusetts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't care for the GPS to track how much you should pay in taxes (uhm you do that at the gas pump, you drive more, you buy more gas, your car pollutes more by burning more? you pay more). In this instance I don't believe that tracking cons is really a violation of anyones rights.

  3. Re:Google Groups on Another Nail In Usenet's Coffin? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's not even the worst part, the fact it takes 12 hours for what you say to show up, and by then you have gotten 30 replies. and the thread is dead. It's fine for the 3 times a year I use usenet.

    You really think Usenet is dying? Anyone got the link to netcraft?[tt]

  4. Re:No need to fear. on Mac OS X 10.3.8 Out, Security Update Released · · Score: 1

    How os x run on those older mac's? I've never tried it on anything slower than a g4 450.

    Check out the Gentoo games project.

  7. Re:Second Purchase on Microsoft to Buy Anti-Virus Software Firm · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think people should start charging microsoft for viruses and spyware.

  8. I used to do that on What Do You Charge for Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    For $25 an hour plus $10 if it took more than $30 minutes to drive there. I eventually cut it because it was never ending. Still, I did make enough money to get drunk on.

  9. Re:Old joke on If The Problem Persists, Reboot The Car · · Score: 1

    it only happens about once every 3 or 4 months, and it's out of warranty, so it's my problem. :-/

  10. Re:Old joke on If The Problem Persists, Reboot The Car · · Score: 2, Funny

    The funny thing is, my new mini-van occasionally does have to be restarted in order for the heater air conditioning, radio (basically all accessories) to coma back on, and for the air-bag light to stop beeping at me. A simple reboot and it's back to normal. *sigh*

  11. what about second? on First Program Executed on L4 Port of GNU/HURD · · Score: 3, Funny

    Maybe the second program should be a better web server.

  12. [tt] Re:Lacking a Major Player? on 18 Live Linux CDs -- In A Row · · Score: 2, Funny

    Also, wouldn't FreeSBIE be considered a "dead" cd?

  13. Re:Hasn't this been known for decades? on How a Venus Flytrap Snaps · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sort of. They had a vague idea, but didn't know how it was able to move so quickly as they don't have muscles. With the high-speed camera and glow-in-the-dark paint they were able to watch the skin stretch and more fluid was pumped into the leaves. It's been compared to a tennis ball cut in half where you just have to bend it slightly and then it suddenly snaps the other way around.

  14. uhhhh on XM and Sirius Merger? · · Score: 1

    but what does this have to do with DEC?

  15. Re:Great. on No Pictures, Thanks · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just think of all the robberies that will occur right in front of cameras.

  17. Re:OPENBSD!!! on Which BSD for an Experienced Linux User? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd say OpenBSD too, but not for reasons so lame as "I live near them". I live near microsoft but it would be a cold cold cold cold day in hell if I recomended that.

  18. Re:Maybe he was just bitter on Firefox Lead Now Working For Google · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Actually this makes me wonder about this.

  20. Itune looks cool on Apple and Pepsi Do it Again · · Score: 1

    where's the rpm?

  21. We made one on Using Wikis in Hospitals? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We made one for non-technical users. We use the "Kronos" time clock/door lock system, and we made a documentation project with a wiki. We locked the main pages made by us, and created an unlocked page for additional notes branched off of that that can be modified by anyone. We used wiki tikki tavi. Works well, and installs fast.

    That's why I addressed it to Cliff ;-) I knew it wasn't you. I'm not a spelling nazi or anything, I was just confused for a few seconds.
