  1. More powerful than??? on Electric Car Faster Than A Ferrari or Porsche · · Score: 1

    But did they name it "The SS More Powerful than Superman, Batman and the Incredible Hulk Combined" ?

  2. Man gives birth ... that's a fact on "Time-Traveler" Busted For Insider Trading · · Score: 1

    "Mom, I'm concerned when you refer to the Weekly World News as "the paper" "
    "But it is. It has the 5th highest circulation in the world I'll have you know. See here: Man gives birth ... that's a fact."
    (So I Married an Axe Murderer ... the only movie I've ever seen with reference to the Weekly World News)

  3. What's with all the religion bashing? on World Cup Final · · Score: 1

    Could you imagine the pressure these guys are under and the relief they feel after the game is over? There were close to 1.5 BILLION people watching their every move! If they want to run around praying with slogans on their backs, so what? As anyone from a South American culture will tell you, religion plays a very pivotal role in many of their lives. I say let them have their moment. Why should they listen to Atheist Americans who barely give a damn about a game that many of them base their lives around?

  4. Re:I shop locally on Home-Built vs. Store-Bought PCs · · Score: 1
    ATIC (

    http://www.atic.ca)on E. Broadway is great if you can put up with rude people and the huge wait times ... I've been building PCs out of there for years.

  5. Re:Didnt detect my RealPlayer on Live from Iran, Film88 · · Score: 1
    Yes, I was able to bring up the window and the Real logo was displayed. I am asuming since the site is really busy that it would take a long time for the video to load.

    Type "about:plugins" in a Mozilla browser window. You should see the RealPlayer.so entry. If not, make sure RealPlayer.so is in your Mozilla plugin dir (/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/ for RH 7). Also, make sure raclass.zip is there as well ... I just copied both of these over from my Netscape plugin dir and renamed the one file as previously described.

    Here is a great site to check out a bunch of possible Real apps: http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/front-end/t estcases/plugins/realaudiotest.html ... everything here works for me since I made the changes. Hope this helps :)

  6. Re:Didnt detect my RealPlayer on Live from Iran, Film88 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Rename "rpnp.so" to "RealPlayer.so" and make sure it is executable.
    #mv rpnp.so RealPlayer.so
    #chmod +x RealPlayer.so

    I found this in the Real forums. Works great.

  7. Playgrounds are still safe ... on Patent Granted on Sideways Swinging · · Score: 2, Funny

    This only applies to two chains hung from a tree branch (specified in the Claims section). The background section describes "other substantially horizontal support" but it's not in the Claims section. Legalistic? Yes. But someone has to think of the children ...

  8. Paypal Is An Unprofessional, Troublesome Service on Class Action Lawsuit Says PayPal Restricted Funds · · Score: 1

    Through EBay I sold a slightly used PDA to someone in the Ukraine over the Holidays and used the Paypal service to receive payment. I received the payment in full and withdrew the funds to my bank account. Then, 3 WEEKS later I got an email saying the the funds I had received were fraudulent and that I had to put the money back (about $700 USD)!! Since I live in BC, Canada I feel secure that Paypal will have to jump through hoops of fire to ever get that money from me. I only used the Paypal serivce once and I will never use it again.

  9. More Legislation? on Last Month for Free MAPS · · Score: 1

    "Two things will reduce the hassle of spam, more legislation ..."

    Do you really want more legislation implemented by the same government who brought us such goodies as Carnivore and export restrictions on encryption? More legislation gives the government more power, regarless of whether it's to stop SPAM today, or a Microsoft lobbied ban on open source software for the government of tomorrow. I'm not saying the two are related, but it would be one more big boot in the door.

    Keep the government out of it! I like the replacing the SMTP with a non-broken protocol idea much more. I can feel the force of a new SourceForge project in genesis already :)
