  1. perfect... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 0

    We already have an Emperor and a Vader. Before long we'll be ready for a rebellion.

  2. Re:Got hit by that "feature" today, VERY annoying. on Microsoft Genuine Advantage Cracked · · Score: 0

    I own a license of XP. After upgrading my system a few times and then installing new HDs I said F THIS. I am tired of sitting on the phone and reading my serial number to some person who is going to ask me to repeat it. So I run SP2 Corp version with a keygen. Was it worth it? Hell yes. Hell if I'm going to be treated like a criminal then why not act like one.

  3. I work in tech support.... on Worst Explanation From Tech Support? · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...and we have an error code we give our unfortunate *special* callers. We tell them they are experiencing an i-d-10-t issue but they should give it time and it might clear itself up.

  7. Re:Inform the music industry? on 3 New Defendants Named In MP3s4free.net Case · · Score: 1

    What if the landlord knows someone is coming to the front door to sell pot to the tenant and doesn't do anything about it. Would he be liable then? Don't get me wrong, I like the landlord analogy. I think it's just more complicated than that?

  8. Re:Could someone verify on Electronic Voting: Your Worst Nightmares are True · · Score: 1

    Sorry. Should have read the article first.From the article:

    "It's against the law to start counting the votes before the polls have closed. But this file is date and time stamped at 3:31 in the afternoon on Election Day, and somehow all 57 precincts managed to call home add them themselves up in the middle of the day. Not only once but three times," Harris said. "If you have no electronic communications between the polling places and the main office, how does that happen? Because what would you literally have to do is to shut down the polling place in 57 places at once and get in a car and drive this card into the county office. That's not going to happen."

  9. Could someone verify on Electronic Voting: Your Worst Nightmares are True · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've read elsewhere that is it illegal to count votes before the polls close. Would this constitute such a breach?

Firefighters were called to the man's home in suburban Scarborough last night after the battery exploded inside the oven, causing smoke to pour out of the appliance."
