  1. Re:Jargon and the like ... on Public Confused by Tech Lingo · · Score: 1

    I was tech support for an ISP ... so these people couldn't get on the 'net. ;) Also, in my experience, those who call tech support didn't read something (instructions) in the first place ...

  2. Re:Be Judicious on Public Confused by Tech Lingo · · Score: 1

    In short, you paraphrased, be brief and don't use big words. ;)

    But seriously, back when I was on phone tech support, half of the battle was describing things without using tech jargon. The other half of the battle was having patience. Thank goodness I am not doing that any more ... I do love the jargon of tech.

    Well, I know that ... my comment was what I _jokingly_ thought to myself due to the play on the word 'bill'.

  5. Re:Whose Bill? on Anti-Spam Bill Killed In California · · Score: 1

    Actually, (jokingly) I read it like that too. I thought Bill Gates was killed. He could be called Anti-Spam Bill per this article.

    BG has done this before ... a lot. The first thing you do when you are afraid of a competitor is admit their existence in a negative connotation.

    The site has been heavy hit all day ... even before the coming slashdotting!

  11. Wow ... on Nanotech Pinball and Miniature Engines · · Score: 3, Interesting

    the video compares the size of the MEMS pinball to a Swedish Safetyy match, a .5mm lead and a human hair. The comparison really gives great perspective!

  12. Getting closer ... on Handspring Shows Treo 600 Smartphone at CeBIT · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I do like the idea of a threaded SMS client (IM style). Looks interesting ... a step in the right direction however, what about Bluetooth? Wi-Fi?

    Read this if you think subscribers can post before and article goes live.

  21. Re:Excellent on Palm to Buy Handspring · · Score: 1

    Interesting ... and I knew the Kyo's were around however my comment was not just geared towards the PalmOS software ... but the Palm brand in general (hardware, software, support, etc.). The 7135's are hot though. A Palm/Hand equivalent (or superior) of the 7135 is my hope for this merger/assimilation/buyout.

    Yahoo is carrying an article , too.
