  1. lengthy? on Meet the Men Who Deploy Airstrikes · · Score: 1

    It was an interesting article about normal length. Are we so impatient to read more than three paragraphs?

  2. Re:Give us the source on $1M Prize For Finding Cause of Unintended Acceleration · · Score: 1

    So true! Working with threads is not always simple.

  3. Re:Use a web server on Microsoft Rinses SOAP Out of SQL Server 2008 · · Score: 1

    I loled, not redundant

  4. Re:Shut down before it could damage itself? on Mars Lander's Robot Arm Shuts Down To Save Itself · · Score: 1

    Bender? Is that you?

  5. Re:Who? on No XP Reprieve; Windows 7 Release Set · · Score: 1

    That's so sad but true. Everytime I see my pc telling me there are new updates I have to scan them, try to understand them and if it involves a hardware driver I usually put it off as long as I can.

  6. Re:Write Your MP on Canada's Proposed DMCA-Style Law Draws Fire · · Score: 1

    Just did. My first email to my MP :-D

  7. Re:Anything that forces discipline is good. on The Return of Ada · · Score: 1

    I don't find anything wrong with using Google to get at reference information. The best way to scan MSDN, Oracle, or any software tool reference is by using google to scan the site for you.

    Copy pasting code verbatum is another matter altogether and I agree is stupid.

    Whoa, someone missed drinking their cup before coming to work!

    Wow!! play SL much???

  10. Re:age old recipe applied again and again... on US Group Calls Canada a Top Copyright Violator · · Score: 1

    Bravo! Well said.

  11. Re:FUCK copyright law. on US Group Calls Canada a Top Copyright Violator · · Score: 1

    It will be very sad if Canada would allow itself to be influenced in its internal affairs by foreign interests. I wish Canadians will grow some balls and get these people to just f**k off. Really Canada the same as China???

  12. Re:It's pretty dang nice, actually. on Time for a Vista Do-Over? · · Score: 1

    Sounds almost like my experiences. I'm a contractor as well.
    I would suggest to move away from IE7 and try Firefox.
    IE7 is just too slow...

  13. Re:Tabs are evil on IE 8 Passes Acid2 Test · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Agreed, I sometimes have more tabs open than the amount of icons I could manage on the task bar.

    I'm often switching between tabs with CTRL+Tab or CTRL+Shit+Tab (with Firefox) improving my navigation between web pages.

  14. Re:Worse than ignorance, it's iggerunt. on Cisco Offices Raided, Execs Arrested In Brazil · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wow, those other parties don't sound like very good options. I see why they have a two party system.

  15. Re:Worse than ignorance, it's iggerunt. on Cisco Offices Raided, Execs Arrested In Brazil · · Score: 1

    Well, conventionally Latin America refers to Mexico, central America and South America.
    Quebec and Louisiana speak Romance Languages as well but don't share the geographical location. /I don't think it was necessary to clarify the obvious //Oh well...

  16. Re:Tech issues and socio-political issues. on Japanese Stealth Fighter Announced as 'Return of the Zero' · · Score: 1

    What ever, maybe swallow your pride and learn to accept other persons point of view.

  17. Re:Tech issues and socio-political issues. on Japanese Stealth Fighter Announced as 'Return of the Zero' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Maybe striking first is the best defense. Just ask Israel.

  18. Poor vs Rich on A New Map of the Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Proves again how incredibly privileged we are.
    This is a definition of third world countries. We are so used to being connected that we take it for granted. Rich countries are perfectly delineated by the amounts of connections they have (USA, Europe, Japan, Southern Australia) and clearly showing that South America, Africa, the Caucasus, India and South Asia are clearly the areas needed to develop.

    Yes some points are visible like Sao Paulo, Johannesburg, Mumbai, etc. But it should be the same for the rest of the world. Similar of the map of the world when illuminated at night by city lights. Connectivity should be as common as electrical power.

  19. Re:SIP VoIP vs Skype on EBay Admits To Bad Call On Skype · · Score: 1

    That's odd. No long distance calls available for Mexico or Colombia.

  20. Re:Pretty obvious, wasn't it? on EBay Admits To Bad Call On Skype · · Score: 1

    I used to pay for Skype-Out for calls to Mexico and south America.
    But they charge in Euros (getting expensive) and if you use your minutes quickly you are forced to wait up to a week to buy more because of their fraud prevention checks.

    I switched to Yahoo Messenger/Voice where I pay for the same service but priced in American dollars. I do have to agree that the quality of Skype is unsurpassed even by my local VOIP provider. I might use it again or have it as a second option. Once again it proves that you pay for quality.

    Too funny!! :-D

  23. Re:The problem with this on EU Think Tank Urges Full Windows Unbundling · · Score: 1

    Mirosoft has PC vendors by the ba##s by stopping them from integrating a non-Windows OS. There won't be a competitive market if you let the bully hold on to it's unfair practices.

  24. WinTax and the MS Monopoly on EU Think Tank Urges Full Windows Unbundling · · Score: 1

    If Windows is unwilling to lower it's prices and prevent manufacturers to sell other OS in their machines then absolutely limit how much it can be integrated into Windows. There are too many examples of windows killing it's competition and not letting go of it's 90% of market share. Why is it that we can't have a basic $50 windows license for example.

  25. Re:Classic Bait & Switch on Massive Canadian Class-Action Cellphone Suit Is Approved · · Score: 1

    Virgin makes a lot of sense to me. With 200 minutes, voice mail, caller id for only $20 on their pay as you go plan.
    Once I'm done with Rogers I will switch.

    I've been deflowered too many times that not even those "special" packages they offer when you call to cancel are worth it.
