  1. Animals such as mice ... on Most Common Ways to Kill a PC · · Score: 1

    I don't know if anyone has ever had problems with small rodents as I have...

    I've had it hat mice will find ways to get into your desktop since the inside is quite warm, especially on the hard drive. They perform their bodily functions, leave that stuff all over the inside :(

    it was pretty dead after that.

  2. Re:Forgot to mention PER YEAR on Amazon Offers 2-Day Shipping For $79/Year · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but if you look at the terms and conditions, $79/ year is the introductory price, and it states clearly:

    "You understand your membership will automatically renew and you authorize us to charge to your credit or debit card (without notice to you) the then-applicable annual membership fee and any taxes, unless you notifiy us before renewal that you want to cancel your membership."
    (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t g/browse/-/138 19201/pop-up/104-9696966-1011900)

    The "Then-Applicable" phrase is the one that's not cool, since if this service rises in price, you will automatically get billed more ...

  3. illegal ? on Attracting Women Into Computer Science · · Score: 1

    actually, I think that these camps would be illegal, since it is not "equal" to offer something to only girls and not boys.

    I have heard of a lawsuit against the Girl Scouts for having a computer room in a school only for Girl Scouts, and after they lawsuit, they had to open it up for boys as well.

    I didn't see anything in this that said that the camps were 50% girls and 50% boys ... so thats one thing they prolly have to do.

    just my two cents,
    -g

  4. does that then mean that ... on Labels Find New Method of Payola · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can change the filename of the song to
    "Avril Lavigne's Don't Tell Me, presented by Arista Records.mp3"
    and I instantly have a legal mp3??

  5. Re:Export Restrictions? on Getting A Laptop With The Low U.S. Dollar · · Score: 1

    Yes, this is true, but only if you are a *reseller*. As other posts say, you don't pay export/import taxes on personal effects.

    If you are purchasing from Dell in the US, and take it to another country, you're OK :)

    They just don't want you setting up a business that does exactly that .. buy Dell in the US and resell it in another country without them knowing :)
