  1. Re:Why not lease it out instead? on NASA Considers Abandoning ISS · · Score: 1

    And what if the 'squatters' are also spillers, and slop some liquid on the life support or power systems?

    Can't make the thing idiot-proof...

    Lovepump - OS390/zOS Ops Analyst. IEFBR14 is your friend. The 2 byte killer app for MVS

    I know OS/390, zOS, have been an Operations Analyst, and know that BR14 is a job ending ok.

    2 byte killer app? Please explain...

  3. Re:wow, that sign sure will be changing a lot on "Smart" Billboards Debut in Sacramento · · Score: 1

    It would probably detect what people are listening to, and serve out the content that meets the buying majority's needs.

    Ah, if only I had moderator points left. You rule!

    Um, no. Well, not unless you count College teams.

    No, it would probably fall back to raw marketing data, as though it were a static board without all the gadgetry. Kind of like today, actually, with the projected 'popular' ad displayed.

  7. Re:Contact the FBI. No, Seriously on Toledo Uncappers Getting Shafted · · Score: 1

    Using your logic, it would be a felony to defraud someone via mail, even if they were in my state, merely because the mail service operated on an interstate/international basis. I'm no expert, of course, but I don't think your logic (or that of the FBI) is valid (or perhaps I don't know the whole story.)

    Ah, didn't think of that. Good point...

  9. Re:Nope on Living with Darth Vader · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you'd be SOL in that case. You could always just remove the offending apostrophes though, right? Inaccurate? Yeah. But if you're that hell-bent on using said name, then a compromise may be in order.

  10. Re:What if you own your own cable modem? on Toledo Uncappers Getting Shafted · · Score: 1

    Imagine going to the grocery store and buying 15 items...and using every single lane at the same time to make your purchase.

    It's not expressly forbidden, but you'll have a lot of pissed off people behind you in line.

    So maybe you're right, actually. Unless you begin thinking of everyone else on your cable internet segment, and the bandwidth that they're unable to get because you're hogging it.

    So I bet you gave up kiddie porn after that, huh?

    Oh, that isn't where you got the lunchbox? Uh, sorry, nothing to see here.

  12. Re:RAM Drive on Toledo Uncappers Getting Shafted · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, your 'secure location' would have also been located and its contents confiscated.

    Other than that, great idea.

    What fraud was allegedly committed?

    And wouldn't said wire fraud have to extend over state lines prior to federal agents being involved?

    So what do you supposed he downloaded to his VCR?

  15. Virtual crime on Toledo Uncappers Getting Shafted · · Score: 1

    What I don't get is this: How is the monetary value placed on the lost bandwidth? I could understand if it there were multiple 'plan' levels, I guess, but two things stick out in my mind. 1. Bandwidth is rarely guaranteed (especially in cable systems) so if everyone else was running slower, so what? 2. Nobody else would have been denied service, so no lost revenue there either.

    I just don't get it.

    So don't mod if you can't hide your tracks, dumbass. Or just don't use their service.

    You mean like all those happy pharmaceutical ads on during prime-time TV? "May cause oily discharge, heart arythmia, constipation, or in some cases death"

    And people buy that shit.

  21. Re:Potential Risk? on Run Your Laptop On Nuclear Energy · · Score: 1

    Portable power has not kept up with the rest of technology. Look at processor speeds, display adaptors, the size of laptops, cell phones and their display and attachments. All of them require portable power, yet we're stuck with LiOn batteries, which while not huge, are the limiting factor.

    This is all due to one fact: people view their porn at home.

    Yes, but to quote the posting: This looks like the first game that supports the HDTV 1080i resoloution the X-box is capable of.

    On a side note, are you ALL lame enough to not be able to read the posting, let alone the damn links/article?

    In the mean time, either live with it or do something about it. (subtext) If you can't do either, stop bitching about it.
