  1. Safety is bad on Auto Safety Tech May Encourage Dangerous Driving · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is why I replaced the seatbelts with deadly snakes, and the airbags with big metal spikes.

  2. Re:what's STILL missing on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, I want a Blackberry Storm that made it through QA.

  3. Re:what's STILL missing on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 1

    Exchange syncing more than one folder
    Exchange displaying e-mails with the correct attributes
    Exchange handling appointments in a sensible way ...

  4. Sorry Melinda on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 4, Funny

    If being forced to carry a Zune and a Windows Mobile phone wasn't enough of an insult, poor Mrs. Gates is going to be extra jealous now.

  5. Re:Working Exchange support on What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0? · · Score: 1

    It's definitely an iPhone issue. The Windows Mobile phones sync just fine.

  6. Re:Ahem... it's SF on Sci Fi Channel Becoming Less Geek-Centric "SyFy" · · Score: 1

    Crap, I knew I'd heard that somewhere before.

    Just goes to show that I don't watch enough syfy.

    1. Nobody calls it "Frisco."
    2. Everyone I know who has done "a little too much LDS" has lived in Utah.

  8. Re:Battery life on What to Fight Over After Megapixels? · · Score: 1

    It uses AA batteries. I'll try what you suggested. So far I've tried all the fancy alkalines and NiMH with no luck.

  9. Re:Battery life on What to Fight Over After Megapixels? · · Score: 1

    You can come over and try it yourself if you'd like (after I delete all the upskirt photos of course.)

  10. Battery life on What to Fight Over After Megapixels? · · Score: 1

    Olympus needs to focus on battery life. With flash on, my Olympus camera gets about three shots per charge on a new battery.

  11. Re:Working Exchange support on What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0? · · Score: 2, Informative

    1. Only the inbox will download new messages, all other folders must be synchronized manually
    2. Manually syncing a folder fails about 2/3 of the time

    Both of these bugs are pretty major on their own, but together it makes iPhone is basically worthless as an Exchange client.

    Additionally, IMAP support has the same bugs.

  12. Working Exchange support on What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can't believe nobody has mentioned this yet. It plagues everyone I know who bought one of these stupid things thinking that Exchange support meant WORKING Exchange support.

  13. Re:Hanover -- Hannover on How $1,500 Headphones Are Made · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, it's "Hangover." As in the sick feeling you'll have the morning after you realize you just blew $1,500 on a pair of goddamn headphones.

  14. Re:bill, don't throttle on Morality of Throttling a Local ISP? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If my ISP called, that's what I'd tell them too.

    "Yeah, my 'kids' must be 'downloading' a lot of stuff. Don't worry I'll go spank them until they stop."

  15. Re:Little less bias here? on FOIA Request For Pending Copyright Treaty Denied · · Score: 1

    Often it seems as though the person who wrote the stub didn't RTFA, let alone google the damn thing.

  16. Let's hope on Windows Security and On-line Training Courses? · · Score: 1

    that your wife isn't taking a computer security class.

  17. "Protest"? on Adbusters Suggests Click Fraud As Protest · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Won't this just make Google more money?

    It's not like the advertisers can go somewhere else. If you want search ads, there's only one place to go.

    Guess I should have bought an extended warranty on my original post.

  20. Re:But at what cost? on Sun To Include SSDs On Server Motherboards · · Score: 2, Funny

    You're helping keep Sun from going bankrupt. Think of it as a charitable donation.

  21. Re:imaginary property? on Copyright and Patent Laws Hurt the Economy · · Score: 1

    That's what those criminal scum deserve for singing "Happy Birthday."

    I hope not. MIT professors are not human.

  25. Enterprisey on Locking Down Linux Desktops In an Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    Windows is more "enterprisey" than Linux, and that's bad... for Linux?

    Don't forget to put the cover sheets on your TPS reports.
