  1. Re:Faux News on Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed · · Score: 1

  7. Re:Parking tickets on Use Your iPhone To Get Out of a Ticket · · Score: 1

    In Boston property owners can be ticketed for not clearing their part of the sidewalk of snow. The ticket writing system is electronic that includes a digital picture that is time stamped, and a smaller version is printed out on the ticket. I think something similar should be done for parking infractions but then again that makes it more difficult to write bogus tickets.

  8. Will there be pictures on Is a 'Katrina-Like' Space Storm Brewing? · · Score: 1

    of Obama looking out the window of his space plane when he flies past earth?

  9. Re:When I see "Clipperz"... on RMS and Clipperz Promoting Freedom In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    I kept thinking clipper chip as well. So seeing RMS next to clipper chip kind of made my brain hurt.

  10. Re:Meanwhile.... on World Series Ticket Sales Overwhelm Servers · · Score: 1

    Funny.. thats what I saw earlier today while running in the area. Two helicopters just flying around Fenway... odd.

  11. Re:Any World of Warcraft users... on Comcast Confirmed as Discriminating Against FileSharing Traffic · · Score: 1

    When I was on Comcast I got this all the time and I would have to resort to getting the patch from a third party. Now that I'm on RCN no problems and no having to go to another site to get the patch.

  12. My next purchase on Using Face Recognition Instead of a PIN Number · · Score: 1

    Bill Gates mask.

  13. Re:As a Flyers fan on National Hockey League Embraces TV Placeshifting · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the Bruins pre-strike. Really good team that couldn't get it done in the first round. I was at their last game before the strike. Oh and then there is the management... they made me not watch hockey this year.

  14. Or even better on The Rise of "Hybrid" Vinyl-MP3s · · Score: 1

    Just get a usb turntable and turn any record into a digital format.

  15. Re:Evolution vs Inteligence Re:Creationists on Chimps Evolved More Than Humans · · Score: 1

    As for direction. Our professional athletes, scientists and Engineers produce far fewer children than those at the bottom of our social order. For the sake of our species, I would advise you all (Creationists and Evolutionist) to pray (To Jesus or Darwin) that human intelligence is not seriously impacted by our genetic makeup. If it is our society will collapse when we are no longer able to maintain what our parents built. There is a movie about this scenario called Idiocracy. Its kind of scary.
  16. Re:If you can't beat 'em... on NBC, News Corp Join to Create YouTube Clone · · Score: 1

    I also like how NBC has put all of Heroes online. Through their website I watched basically all of the episodes. If they didn't put them online I wouldn't be watching the series right now since I missed the first 8 episodes when they aired and then finally decided to start watching it. Yes there are ads, about 6 15 second clips total. I know some people can't stand any ads at all but I can put up with these adds. There isn't enough time to get up and get a snack or use the bathroom before the ad is over.

  17. Re:offshoring sucks, it takes away jobs on Study Claims Offshoring Doesn't Cost US Jobs · · Score: 1

    How many years of college did you need for that manufacturing job?

    640 robots ought to be enough for anybody.

  19. Re:er, tin-foil hat on How To Tell If Your Cell Phone Is Bugged · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you are worried about your phone listening in and you want to be absolutely sure just take the battery out. Signal goes to zero.

  20. Re:And why is it that way? on First-Person Account of a Social Engineering Attack · · Score: 1

    I also think thats a stupid policy. My advice to people who have to deal with this stupid policy is to use a password that is easy to remember and easy to change yet still secure. For example use a url as a password and when you need to change it just change the tld. Easy to remember and still fairly secure and there are a bunch of tlds if you include countries.

  21. Reason why I don't buy cd's on RIAA Subpoenas Neighbor's Son, Calls His Employer · · Score: 1

    Last time I bought a cd was back when Napster was still kicking. That would be sometime in 2000. So I've some how managed to go 6 years without buying a cd. Sorry RIAA no money for you.

  24. Re:Mailing you a clue by four on Laptops Searched and Confiscated at U.S. Border · · Score: 1

    I see I am not the only one who notices this. Went to Japan and Thailand this year and I wasn't harassed when entering or leaving either country. I was there during the military coup in Thailand and even then security was pretty laid back. In fact my friends and I some how went around the first security check point with out even noticing.

  25. Re:actually... on Geekspeak Baffles Web Users · · Score: 1

    You beat me to it. Not only is every noun turned into an acronym but many acronyms have different meanings depending on the context. Makes reading documentation so very painful.
