  1. Gee on MS Patents IM Feature Used Since At Least 1996 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What about TALK? It showed what you were typing when typing it!

  2. Re:You wanna start a Union? on Fame, Fortune and Micropayments · · Score: 1

    moron

  3. Re:You wanna start a Union? on Comparison of Bayesian POP3 Spam Filters · · Score: 1

    No, if you miss a few it doesn't matter at all. It only matters if you misclassify them. Using POPFile it only updates the corpus on a deliberate classification.

    Oh.... Australia is a continent? I thought it was in Europe.

  5. Re:What's the big panic about SSNs? on UT Austin Hit By Massive Security Breach · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Essentially, yes. It's a retarded system. It all hinges on an SSN, that can easily be stolen.

  6. Re:What's the big panic about SSNs? on UT Austin Hit By Massive Security Breach · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because EVERYTHING is tied to it. Should someone get a hold of your SSN they can get a credit card in your name, or whatever.

    It explains the single part, but how did you become a father? Drugs?

  8. Re:Taxation without representation if eBay taxes . on Warming Battle Over Online Taxes · · Score: 1

    Right. But then there is still a tax when you sell it, and that tax is labeled sales tax. As well as an excise tax when you register it.

  9. Re:Taxation without representation if eBay taxes . on Warming Battle Over Online Taxes · · Score: 1

    Yes... there is *ALSO* a property tax, ALONG with a sales tax. In Indiana at least.

    Theorectically you could sell a car 365 times in a year, and if it was for the same dollar amount, the sales tax on each sale would be 6% of that sale price. So, it's a tax on the sale, and not the item.

  10. Re:Taxation without representation if eBay taxes . on Warming Battle Over Online Taxes · · Score: 1

    Sales tax on a vehicle is paid everytime that vehicle is sold, not every year. This sales tax is also called a use tax.

  11. Re:Taxation without representation if eBay taxes . on Warming Battle Over Online Taxes · · Score: 1

    The sales tax is a tax on the sale, not on the item.

    Otherwise I wouldn't have to pay taxes on a used car

  12. Re:Now you see.... on Warming Battle Over Online Taxes · · Score: 1

    Because that's how it works now!
    What they want is to collect tax for EVERY purchase, based on where the purchaser lives.

  13. Re:taxes not good for little e-business online ret on Warming Battle Over Online Taxes · · Score: 1

    Never mind the added hassles of having to fill out forms and calculations for one purchase from Indiana, one from Iowa, 3 from Florida, 4 from different tax areas of California, every month. It will definitely hurt the little guy.

  14. Re:I'm amazed too. on Comdex Operators File for Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    Does the "cloth/clothes" typo somehow make this article less enjoyable? Does it makes it impossible for you to understand what is being said? Does it somehow make the article less interesting? I would say "no" to all those questions

    Would an article written in hacker speak be any less interesting?

  15. Re:I ususally give them a finger, anyway... on Kroger Testing Fingerprint Payment System · · Score: 1

    sounds like wishful thinking to me

  16. Re:Fraud? on Kroger Testing Fingerprint Payment System · · Score: 1

    Kroger does indeed require signatures in the express lanes. Of course, most of the time the cashier isn't even at the stand in the middle of the 4 lane checkout lines.

    It's apmutate

  18. Re:MOZILLA is DEAD on Microsoft To Acquire Macromedia? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And those flash advertisements are why I uninstalled Flash. When you need a 1Ghz or better computer just to go to Yahoo's phone book due to the flash ads that kill your CPU if you run anything less, there's a big problem.

  19. Re:Tech TV on Geek Christmas Gift Ideas · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    How is this redundant? It's the first post. By definition it can't be redundant

    If Borders has to order the book, you can order it yourself for about the same money and it's delivered to your door. Not to borders where you have to go back to pick it up.
