  1. Re:Floppy uses on Dell Dropping The Floppy · · Score: 1

    But do you own a valid license to that image.

    Why was Bill Gates buried 12 feet under?

    Then how do I make a bootable CD without the boot files from a floppy. AFAIK Bootable cd's emulate a floppy from either a floppy drive or a floppy image. And since you need a license for for the OS, be it Dos or windows 98 (ie DOS) for a windows box, it looks as though you will still need the floppy for the initial bootable CD that you make. After that it would be easy enough for a geek to extract the boot sector, but how about the newbie who when using Nero or EZ-CD creator is asked for the location of the floppy drive that contains the bootable floppy.

  4. Re:life saving drugs on Tampering with Taste Buds for Better Coffee? · · Score: 1

    I thought there was a reason medicine tasted bad, so that the kids did not want to drink it. I mean really, do you want your kids to be hunting throught the medicine cabinet for that candy flavored cough syrup. Sounds like a recipe for an emergency room visit. You think the medicine tastes bad, how bout the experience of getting your stomach pumped.

  5. Re:Withdrawal: nicotine worse than heroin on Tampering with Taste Buds for Better Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Having been through both I feel I am qualified t oreply to this. Let's see with nicotine I was agitated, annoyed and relativly hyper, Very uncomfortable to, But besides being a pain to be around I coould still function (ie. go to work and do my job). Now with heroin, Hmm started off with 3 days in bed suffering from horrible night sweats and puking constantly and worse. and oh my god the itching, I think I tore most of the skin off my body. If it weren't for benedryl I would prob ably have been scrared for life.

    So I would say that on an intensity level heroin was far worse, But nicotine withdrawl lasts far longer.

    Well good news is it's been 5 years last december 10th since I last did heroin. Bad news, I still smoke.

    umm actually soap emulsifies the oils so that the water can rinse them away.

  7. HA on Satellite Internet Service for Macs? · · Score: 1

    Setting up an ICS setup is not easy when you have to handle one-way satellite. Your up connection is a modem (yes dial up) and your down link is the satellite. ICS and its contemporaries are not really setup to handle that sort of connection. (it can be done but it is filled with headaches).

    I used the service in 99 - 2000 and it was not worth the headaches.

  8. This could be good on Keanu Reeves as Superman · · Score: 1

    Wait hear me out. Look at the history of the role. Every actor who has played The Man of Steel has fallen. The part is cursed. Let's see George shot himself, Christopher broke his neck, We could be rid of Keanu for good.

    Yeah well now we have "a reduced expectation of privacy" since he said that

    Actually I have a very high expectation of privacy.

  11. Defending Patents on Suddenly a JPEG Patent and Licensing Fee · · Score: 1

    I may be mistaking this with Trademarks, but don't you have to defend your patents, I mean come on Jpegs have been used since the beginning of the web, wouldn't the fact that some MAJOR software companies have been using it since at least 1996 mean this company doesn't have a leg to stand on.

    Oh well maybe I'll read the article now
