  1. Re:Huh? on 4chan Gives 90-Year-Old Vet a Great Birthday · · Score: 1

    I VERY highly recommend you at least google 4chan before asking that question. It's like asking what goatse is. If you don't know, the rest of the world does and it's on google.

    Let's not get off-track on what's being talked about. The GP was talking about Pre-war vs post-war. We won't discuss any kind of rights adjustments and such that have happened separate from that. Just to clarify though, if you are American, you have more rights now than you did in 1945 (the last year of the war). If you need them pointed out, you reallly need to re-examine that era.

    Ok, Gmail sucks. I'm okay with using something that sucks if I like it and it works perfectly for me.
    With your talking about forwarding it to another account, it sounds like you're unaware of IMAP and POP3. Just figured I'd kindly let you know... ya know... about something you could use that's not another forwarding thing.

    There comes a point in life when you don't judge effectiveness on "wasting time" doing things.
    It boils down to one thing: do I want to do this.

  13. Re:Spam detection is much easier on GMail Introduces Priority Inbox · · Score: 1

    The question is: Can a software that doesn't even know what's Viagra spam all the time claim to take over sorting important mail for you?

    Funny, I get a barrage of mail, and over 60% is spam. All of the spam is caught as spam, and 1 out of 200-300 is a false-positive as spam (which I flag as 'not spam' and never have the problem again). I'd say that the system is doing a damned good job at spam filtering.

    Add in that the Nintendo Wii does the same as the PS3, and this makes the XBox Live price increase ludicrously laughable. I just shake my head and laugh whenever someone asks me why I don't have an XBox after I tell them I don't.

  16. Re:Why not? on Kodak's 1975 Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    That was the mindset throughout most of the 60's and 70's when it came to businesses and new ideas.
    It permeated through the 80's in some businesses, but they were phased out/pushed into mediocrity by those ideas then.

    Examples: IBM, Microsoft (late example), Ford, GM, along with quite a few American companies that were purchased.

    I was really scared for a while that Japanese companies were the only ones that were going to survive because it seemed for a while that everyone had the mindset of "if it's not broke, don't fix it".

    Not sure what you are trying to put into words, but you might want to sit and breathe a little.. think about what you want to say, then if it's not in context with the topic at hand, keep it to yourself.
    Especially since the GP was saying that it's time for the federal level to make a decision on it properly.
    You've attempted to twist this into a partisan agenda, when in reality you've made yourself appear to be an ass by spouting about how things should have gone the way the GP was saying the whole time sounding as if you are arguing.

  21. Re:Sauce for the goose on GPS Tracking Without a Warrant Declared Legal · · Score: 1

    No one can still claim something as theirs after attaching it to your vehicle. It's about like my getting a gps phone and taping it to a bike then claiming it as mine when the person untapes it and sells/destroys it. More to the real world, you can legally remove a piece of spy equipment from your smoke detector that has been placed there by a government professional. Mind you, this is in the USA, i'm not too sure of the rest of the world.

    It's asinine.

  22. Re:Sauce for the goose on GPS Tracking Without a Warrant Declared Legal · · Score: 1

    Of course it's legal... there's nothing saying "oh, if you find a gps tracker on your vehicle, your legally bound to keep it there" since you have no knowledge of it being the police's or your husband/wife's tracker.
    Besides, it's your vehicle and you could set it on fire with the tracker on there and it'd be legal.
    In the USA, at least. I'm not sure what laws will hinder in Canada.
