  1. Re:thinking of switching to commercial services on Will Providers Provide Equally? · · Score: 1

    You're trying to share SMB packets over the internet? Christ, I don't even do that between the two subnets in my apartment!

    In other words, Vonage would have to pay "protection money" to the ISP in order for their service to work properly...which naturally gets passed down to the customer. In other words, you have to pay your ISP *more* money (albeit indirectly) in order to get the level of service originally promised at a lower price. This wreaks of outright FRAUD.

    It would be like having a furniture set delivered to your house and furniture company having to pay the delivery company a fee to make sure your upholstery doesn't get delivered all shredded up.

    At least one of the local papers here in NJ publish the names and street name of residence of guys who have been busted for picking up hookers. You think that wouldn't be punishment?

    There have been musings from several New Zealand-based fark.com members that other items may soon be joining Dino.

    If I turn my polarized sunglasses 90 degrees, my LCD screen looks pitch black when viewed through them. Luckily, my head doesn't bend that far so I haven't run into any practical problems.

  9. Re:Some photocopiers support this on Large-Scale Paper-To-Digital Conversion? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We have one of these in our office and they're great for taking stacks of workpapers from clients, scanning them in and getting rid of the originals. You can email a PDF directly to someone, or store the PDF on a server somewhere.

  10. Re:The Music on John Woo to Direct Spy Hunter Movie? · · Score: 1

    There's about 20 variations on the Peter Gunn song at the iTunes Music Store...including Henry Mancini, Blues Brothers, Elvis Presley, and others. Ah, the perfect addition to my driving mix!!!!

    I believe Speakeasy DSL lets you resell your bandwidth to your neighbors...or you could just share it for free.

    In the US, trailer parks are akin to apartment communities, except they only provide the land and utility hookups and you must provide the home. We stick our welfare recipients in seedy motels.

  13. Re:Don't ticket me - control my car's max speed on Road Marker Marks You · · Score: 1

    You're just playing semantics...my laptop is 800Mhz, but the fact I can't get it up to 3Ghz doesn't mean I don't have control over it.

  14. Re:Don't ticket me - control my car's max speed on Road Marker Marks You · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind that when you say "your car will not be able to exceed a certain limit," you are saying that you will *lose control* over operating your car. A 1 ton vehicle that you do not have control over is a very dangerous weapon.

    Hey, John Ashcroft lost an election to a dead guy in Missouri, too!

  16. Re:Hey, babe, I got the cure... on Anti-HIV Virus Developed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since "female" is the default sex, I would say that the penis is a variation on the clitoris. Using that logic, however, I'm still stumped on why the pee-hole goes through it.

    The only reason anyone has to get a library card is because there is a finite number of books in the library. There is plenty of internet to go around for everyone, however.

  22. Re:one note on BBC to Try TV On Demand · · Score: 1

    That's how HBO (monthly subscription channel) works in the US. A season is usually 6 or 8 episodes. But it's 6 or 8 *really good* episodes of a show (ie Sex and the City, Carnivale, Band of Brothers) instead of 22-episode crapathons of Friends and ilk. Lesson: you get what you pay for.

    "...employee of any Media corporation..."

    That one is pretty easy to get around:

    1. Their attorney could access the node.
    2. A third party consultant could access the node.
    3. An employee of a subsidiary could access the node.

    And to recall a famous scene from the South Park movie: "Let's see, you must be 18 or over...whatever, *click*".
