    This one is Serial based.. I was thinking about getting one for my CD Player... OTOH its a Sony and as such its a piece of shit, so I will probably throw it out anyway..

    Congradulations. You've managed to spawn. And I call bullshit back.

    Not haveing your eye's on your kids for 3 minutes is not neglegence. Leaving the pool cover open IS.

    Simple fact though an ALARM WOULD HAVE SAVE YOUR FRIENDS KIDS LIFE.. jackass...

    If you're claiming that your kids have never "gotten away" from you.. Your full of shit..

    I dunno. Maybe taking a crap, or taking a shower? Its not physically possible to "check on the kids" every 2 minutes for the next 8 years, and the little guys are faster than you'd think.

    I break to take a piss and my nephew (who isn't even walking yet) has managed to get out of the room, clear down the hall, and out the front door.. If you aren't watching them for more that 10 seconds they'd better be locked up somewhere or there gonna get out...

    You clearly haven't spend much time around children so, maybe you should STFU..

  5. ATI can Bite My Shiny Metal Ass.. on ATI's Radeon Linux drivers no longer supported? · · Score: 1

    This is probably another "me too"...

    Much to my misfortune I bought an ATI All In Wonder board a couple years ago. About 10 minutes after I got it home ATI "discontinued" it and pulled all the updated drivers off their website. I never could get the bloody thing to work right, and they refused to help. Fortunately the thing was under warantee still, and I got my money back...

    I got a GeForce and life has been good.

    Now nVidia has received some bad press recently try to bolster their performance numbers. I don't really give a crap... Their cards WORK ... Their drivers WORK..

    ATI treats thier customers like shit, and as the subject sais. They can bite my ass.

    Yeah... Except I have 100+ machines that this will be rolled out to. We already have a mechanism for maintaining these machines based on APT-RPM. Simply copy... blah blah blah... quickly gets untenable if you have lots of machines.. (And yes I could write a script, but then ... your missing the point...)

    The roads are quite cozy and not accomodating to any sort of car larger than a Honda Civic

    Your kidding right? We have standard 12" lanes here, just like everywhere else in the state...

    trying to adapt existing cities to this mindset is asking for nothing but trouble.

    No. The real problem is adaping the PEOPLE in these cities to this mind set. If your driving around in a pickup that doesn't fit on the roads, YOU'RE the problem not the city..

    Peds in Boulder have the right of way while in or approaching a marked cross walk or intersection, or in parking lots.. Bicycles and motorpowered bikes do not..

    As a regular bike commuter (and automobile owner) in Boulder the only problem I have is with folks, in their oversized pickup trucks, who abuse the fact that they are bigger. These indignat, megalomanical folks that will use and abuse this fact at any opportunity, failing to yield the right of way and generally driving recklessly, because they can.... They are the danger not the peds/bikes.

    Fortunately most of the folks here aren't this type of jackass, so it works pretty well..

    Why the hell would you put them on your subnet? I am doing the same thing, with several neighbors. I have them on separate interfaces, firewalled from me, and each other.. Geeze..

    If the kid downloads a virus.. well... again... its their problem..
    If mom uses the cd rom tray as a coffee holder....

    I've only had 1 incident of them blaming me for screwing up thier machine. I took a look, it turns out a friend of thier was screwing with it, and messed up a bunch of settings. I fixed thier machine (like a good neighbor) then suggested they get thier own dsl and pulled the plug. They were being dicks, and if you aren't gonna be nice, these sharing things don't work.

    Be nicer than necessary but don't take too much crap. Help them out, but as soon as they start blaming you fo r thier mistakes, its time to end it...

  23. Conduit on The Myriad Ways of Wiring Your Home? · · Score: 1

    I recently helped my parents build a house. They also wanted to be forward compatible whereever possible. Right now, however, they didn't want to spend the cash on all of the different types of cables they would need to run Cat5, Cable TV, Satellite etc. all over the house.
    Instead we chose to run conduit. (almost as cheap as Cat5) all over the place. This is 1" PVC pipe with glue on elbows to go around corners. The elbow have a radius of about 1 foot so they aren't to sharp. We even ran it underground to where the guest house is going to be, to the public utility interconnect at the edge of the property where the phones and the cable will come in, and to the neighbors house where they are temprarily parking their camper.
    Using a modified nerf ball and a good strong vacuum (actually it used to be a hot water carpet cleaner) you can pull 2 pairs of cat 5 and 1 TV cable through about 400 meters of pipe in about a microsecond. The only real problem we had was retrieving the nerf ball from the guts of the vacuum. In each run we also pulled a pice of string to that we can pull more cable though later.
    Inside the house the conduits terminate at electrical boxes every 10 meters or so around the house. The other end of the conduit is to a "patch closet". This has worked out VERY well.
    Since the walls have gone up we have pulled everything from phones, to 100baseT, to satelite dish cable, to speaker wire. There is even an ethernet jack in the front yard...
    Of course this is hard if the drywall is up already..
