  1. Re:You can't do that on Refugee Radio Station Blocked by Red Tape · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the army have something less than pleasant to say about that?

  2. Re:Ho hum... on HOWTO: The Anti-Printer · · Score: 1

    Actually, yes, there are several. Not to mention that there may have been an interpreter in between(ie: ghostscript). I've passed a lot of raw printer data encapsulated in postscript files for our servers over the years.

  3. Re:Obligatory geek link - get perpendicular! on Toshiba 40GB Perpendicular Magnetic Record Drives · · Score: 1

    Time is expensive and data transfer is slow.

    Yes, we need the hard drives.

  4. Re:Another Typewriter PC on Typewriter As Keyboard Mod · · Score: 0

    No, it doesn't. The keyboard in this project is just a normal cheapo PC keyboard with the underwood keys glued to it. I suppose you could still use word.

  5. Re:Style on Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's a 500k demo. Stop complaining.

    Please.

    It's just a fun little project. You're going to give yourself a heart attack trying to find fault.

  6. Re:Hello Big Brother on RFID Tags in Law Enforcement · · Score: 1

    Big Brother? Oh, grab me- just stop speeding. The only reason speed limits aren't higher is because they know people will drive even faster.

  7. Re:you wanna go to jail? on Online Backup Solutions? · · Score: 1

    Whoa, you need to move to another country. I can't even imagine asking that question. Sometimes I forget that the rest of the world demands it.

  8. Re:The next logical step on BBC In Trouble Over Free Music · · Score: 1

    Private hospitals do that on this side of the ocean already. It's akin to moving in beside an abattoir and then complaining about the smell.

  9. Re:Yahoo's firefox toolbar on Google to Release Firefox Toolbar · · Score: 1

    Yes, he is. I am too. Yahoo has banner ads, flash ads, and popups, and makes me log back in every ten minutes. Google has inobtrusive text ads, and they don't attch themselves to the bottom of every email that I send.

    As far as search results goes.... you can't be serious?

  10. Re:Enforcement Across the Pacific on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    GeckoX, no, he was quite plainly talking about the Canadian RCMP officer dripping milk from his or her nasal passages upon receiving a request to send a Canadian citizen to Utah for the crime of sending an email to a child.

    See, extradition is a process whereby one government sents a request to another government to send one of their citizens abroad for prosecution in another country.

    Glad I could help clear that up for you.

  11. Re:What I would like to see on Security Breach Exposes 40M Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    If you can't pay a mere 2.1% of your bill on time, only once a month, then you deserve whatever late charges get heaped upon you. Don't like it? Go see a credit counsellor.

  12. Re:you must be fun at parties! on Steering Wheel Checks Alcohol Consumption · · Score: 1

    "there are actually reasons why someone might need to drive a vehicle when intoxicated"

    Just out of curiosity, let's hear some.

  13. Re:"Abusive use of Credit Cards" on Chase Deploying "Touchless" Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    When you borrow money on a credit card, it definitely isn't your money that you're borrowing. It's definitely the credit card company's money.

  14. Re:Coke on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 1

    You know that salt, noodles, green onions, sugar, and colour don't evaporate, right?

  15. Re:environmental issues on Aquarium Full of Oil For PC Cooling · · Score: 1

    Yes, you're right, because we won't invent municipal sewage treatment until 1898!

  16. Re:Troublesome on Fat Geeks Healthier Than You Thought · · Score: 1

    Quebec? Joe Louis are everywhere, mang!

  17. Re:I will tell you why on AOL Monitor Accused of Luring 15-Year-Old for Sex · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Bahahaha, yeah, kids will stop having sex and stop getting pregnant if you make it illegal. Good one! I haven't a laugh like that in awhile.

  18. Re:Law Enforcement Ahoy.... on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, it costs far more than than one cent to mint a penny, and the government doesn't exactly 'sell' their currency to banks, rather, the currency is introduced gradually into circulation via them. Large chartered banks have been given the ability to 'leverage' or 'create' debt, by the Bank of Canada and so the need to 'purchase' money from the government does not exist.

    I suggest you
    a) Visit the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa
    b) Take a high school economics course

    Oh, and BTW: The Bank of Canada is a crown corporation, and Ford is a public traded, limited liability corporation, and most decidedly not 'private' by any sense of the word or its use in economics.

    So, FunFactor, I, and other veterans of the Canadian Monetary Industry(tm, LLC, LLBO) thank you for your interest in Canadian economics but urge you to participate chiefly as an observer in the future.

  19. Re:When laid off, build your shelter out of your p on A Different Way To Recycle Old PCs · · Score: 1

    I put mine out if its misery in 1997. I decided it had to go when the spark from a lightswitch in the room actually started turning the mouse on and off.

  20. Re:Some people might call me un-American, but... on TSA Lied About Protecting Passenger Data · · Score: 1

    Bullshit.... the vast majority of muslim women in the vast majority of muslim countries don't wear either a burqa or a hijab.... not that a headscarf in anyway indicates a general level of oppression. Your opinion is borne of ignorance rather than fact.

  21. Re:Some changes to take care of it. on iPod Shuffle Lookalike Hits CeBIT · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that they're not fooling anyone. If they really wanted to fool people, they'd just use the Apple logo. It's already an open and shut copyright suit.... if it was about fooling people, they'd just go all the way.

    They're manufacturing these so that people can buy these for way cheaper than an Ipod Shuffle and be just as stylish.

  22. Re:Get over it on iPod Shuffle Lookalike Hits CeBIT · · Score: 1

    While we're thrilled that it works for you, it still doesn't fix his problems. If we always spend time pandering to the majority, we'd never have any innovation. You're more interested in cutting the above poster up that you don't realize that you're just posting to convince yourself that you really are happy with $350 mediocrity.

  23. Re:The Shuffle is a clone to begin with. on iPod Shuffle Lookalike Hits CeBIT · · Score: 1

    The real question is.... Why do you care? They do the *same* thing.

  24. Re:This coming from the man... on Bill Gates Claims OSS Has Poor Interoperability · · Score: 1

    I hate to state the obvious, but that's because those newer versions usally do more things.
