  1. It's *New* Roman. Not the same thing on US Govt Makes Times New Roman 14 Official Font · · Score: 1

    We won't be making the same mistakes as the Old Roman Empire. *Our* leader is Yale and Harvard educated!

  2. Nope, you lose on iTunes Music Store sells 275,000 Tracks in 18 Hours · · Score: 1

    You can't re-download purchased music. BUT, you CAN back it up to CD/DVD in AAC format. You know...backups.

  3. You lose sound quality on Review of iTunes Music Store · · Score: 2, Informative

    You're recompressing a compressed-expanded file.

  4. Ha! Now the whining begins on Review of iTunes Music Store · · Score: 1

    Mac users don't get much sympathy from PC users when we don't get the same games as you. "Buy a PC" you say.
    I say "Buy a Mac." Or wait until later this year for a PC version of iTunes.

    It's just funny how people behave when the shoe is on the other foot.

  5. 911 calls are always free on In Defense of Disposable Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    You don't need to pay for cell service to make emergency calls. I gave an old phone of mine away to a friend so she could make a 911 call if needed. I believe it's the FCC who says that cell carriers MUST allow 911 calls to be made on their networks from non-subscribers.

  6. This has worked on Unreasonable Searches When Going to Work? · · Score: 1

    In one place I worked, they did random searches of cars. They used to pick on one guy I knew and stopped him pretty regularly.
    His solution was to make sure they searched every nook and cranny of his car, and he'd continue to point out every spot they missed and make them look again. They grew tired of that and eased up.
    If you make it an undue burden on security to do a thorough job, then a) they'll ease up on the requirements, or b) you complain that they're doing an ineffective job.

  7. We get comp time on On Call and Underpaid in IT/IS? · · Score: 1

    Our group has a casual and appreciative boss who gives us comp time to make up for off-hours work. I've been here for over a year, and have yet to use any of my vacation or sick time, yet I've taken scattered days off for sick or fun.
