    Just an FYI, this is the first article of Tom Yager's (author of TFA) I could find that mentioned the SCO fiasco:

    I think it means that it will "pop" the hood up just a little so that when they land on it, there is some "give". I don't believe it means that the hood will open so wide that they'll be *eaten* by the car.

    whoops, i see someone mentioned this already.

  11. simple low-tech way to tell if you're bugged on How To Tell If Your Cell Phone Is Bugged · · Score: -1

    with at least 3 different cell phones in the past couple years, i've found a simple way to predict when a call is going to come in. i just set the cell by my computer monitor (crt), within a foot or two, and when there is activity the monitor display will start shaking and rolling (nothing bad, but still visible). if it's a call, then it will continue for about a second or two and then my phone will ring. if it's just a periodic check for voicemails etc., then it will only last for about half a second or so.

    just set your phone by the monitor. if you see it shudder and shake for an extended period of time without the phone ringing, then you might be bugged.

  12. Re:In my opinion on What's Wrong With the FOSS Community? · · Score: 0

    A couple years ago I was trying to help my brother out with a Mac problem he was having. Since I've never owned one myself, I went into an IRC channel to see if anyone might have any advice. When I described the problem, I was told that I wasn't having that problem. Even though I was a bit irked at that point, I took a quick couple of screenshots and within about 60 seconds had posted them for them to examine...at which point I was told that I must have falsified said images. Though, I should say that I'm more inclined to believe that I see many elitist assholes on IRC in general.

    It's quite simple to extract solitaire, minesweeper, etc. out of the cab files as most companies have a good ol' "i386" dir on the main drive. This is mostly just with Win2k though, XP doesn't seem to want the cd too often.

    If you're talking about Alex Jones (which I think you are), you aren't doing him justice. If you read more about him maybe you would see how Michael Moore doesn't even scratch the surface of the things he talks about. Not that I like everything about Alex Jones, but believe me, his research is much more in-depth than Moore's.
