    Internet Security Systems

  2. Re:I tried to buy one. on Skin Sensing Table Saw · · Score: 1

    This post is BS. I worked for SawStop (this company) on ~3 month contract. It takes less than 5 minutes to replace the blade and brake cartridge, works on all types of wood. The only problem with it is cutting metal, or wood with metal in it, since it works on electrically detecting the human body's capacitance. The reason the big manufacturers didn't adopt it at the very begining was that it was unproven in the field, and would have cost them a lot of money to retool all their manufacturing processes

  7. Re:Why I won't switch from Skype! on Project Gizmo Challenges Skype · · Score: 1

    They are doing you a favor most of these phone companies take all of your unused minutes after 3 months regardless of if you used your account or not. If the credits are 3 months old they expire.

  8. Re:*Blackberry* is #2?! on Apple The Current Fastest Growing Brand · · Score: 5, Informative

    They are estimating that the brand (IE: Name) is worth 18% of the total value (at least according to Wall Street) of the company.

  9. Re:Instead of OS X... on iPod Shuffle RAID · · Score: 1

    For those of you wondering the reason these guys have so many is probably cause they work for apple or one of their subsidiaries since I know for a fact that each employee got one this last Wed.

  12. Friends Experience on The Report of My Thermal Death Have Been... · · Score: 1

    I have a friend who bought a crappy heatsink and fan that was impossible to attach, so he thought he'd see if his 1.2Ghz Athlon would POST. Unfortunately it did not and his CPU started smoking before he got it turned off. Anyway, I'd take my friends word and Tom's over AMD's

  13. Re:Convincing Arguments on Forced Into Spamming By Your Employer? · · Score: 1

    Better yet, put it (all his/her contact info) in every piece of SPAM you send.

  14. Is it the policy that really matters or its use? on Ask Carl Kadie About Censorship and Privacy at Colleges · · Score: 1

    Does the policy really matter if it is never used. I am not even sure of what the policy is regarding the email that I send from my school's email account, nor do I care. If I want to make sure that something I send can't be read by anyone else, then I use PGP, or some other encryption. Just like when I enter Credit Card info I make sure that the little lock is closed on my browser. Yes, I know that the website's privacy policy still may determine whether or not my credit card info gets out, but it is still guarenteed by the credit card company. So who cares? BTW, if you / students do care, then they should gripe to the school, so they will do something about it.

  15. Telephone Game on Can You Suggest Any Non-Zero Sum Games? · · Score: 1

    How about the telephone game. No competition and learning about communication at the same time. BTW, the telephone game is where you have a lot of people and you tell a message to one person and they tell the next and so on until it gets to the last person and they say what they thought they heard. Then the first person tells what the message actually was. It makes for some pretty interesting changes in the message.

  16. Has anyone though if this is really a good thing? on IBM, TrollTech Integrate Linux Voice Recognition · · Score: 1

    Why do we want our OS's to be driven by voice commands. I can just imagine cubeville with everyone speaking code/emails/commands. Oh, the noise. Make it stop.

  17. Does anyone have one of these? on The PC As Theater: THX comes to the PC · · Score: 1

    If so, is the sound better than a ~$1000-1500 Stereo/Speakers
