    "Luckily, I have no particular use for CL personals ATM."

    You should check it out; if you thought your place of residence didn't have a sex trade, boy will that open your eyes.

    That's exactly what i do at work. Trade you?

  8. Re:Call me when phone GPS is any good on Standalone GPS Receivers Going the Way of the Dodo · · Score: 1

    I want maps or assisted GPS I have to pay for it.

    Is it not true that you have to pay a fee to get updated map data from the GPS provider?

  9. Re:$25,000 is not much for small businesses on Experimental Fees Settle Royalty War For Internet Radio · · Score: 1

    If you're already playing so little then how hard would it be to cut that one song, or one dozen?

  10. Re:Fail on Pandora Stabilizes, No Longer Completely Free · · Score: 1

    This is probably as much about bandwidth as it is licensing, which is why you get the first 40 hours free.

    and Bun Bun

  12. Re:Insurance on Bike Projector Makes Lane For Rider · · Score: 1

    By having to pay out you're established as more of a risk than you were, I wouldn't be surprised to see a mysterious rate hike at some point in the future...

  13. Re:Nice thought, bad planning on Bike Projector Makes Lane For Rider · · Score: 1

    How about you post a citation since you keep asserting that, instead of hiding behind your "oh god i'm afraid for my privacy"

  14. Eating on Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Figure out how many calories you eat in a day (doesn't have to be exact) and see how that stacks up with average for such a sedentary lifestyle. While you won't be "in shape" per se, you can at least help to curb weight gain by not eating more than you need, and making sure what you DO eat is high in fiber, contains more complex carbs than sugars, and lots of lean protein.

  15. Re:As usual with new Firefox releases... on Firefox 3.5 Reviewed; Draws Praise For HTML5, Speed · · Score: 1

    Will be checking this out, thanks

  16. Re:Memory Problems Confirmed on Firefox 3.5 Reviewed; Draws Praise For HTML5, Speed · · Score: 1

    I'll be curious to see how this works out. My standard demo of firefox eating memory like a fat family at a pizza buffet is to leave gmail (chat enabled) along with slashdot open all night. In the morning, voila, 600 megs of memory utilized.

  17. Re:As usual with new Firefox releases... on Firefox 3.5 Reviewed; Draws Praise For HTML5, Speed · · Score: 1

    This is pretty awesome for things like webcomics. I have a folder for dailies, one for M-W-F, T-Th, weekly, etc (and yeah one for "hardly ever")

  18. Re:How the? on States Push Makers' Role In Disposing of Electronic Waste · · Score: 1

    Geezus is that ever a surreal thought.

  19. Re:Tax 'em! on Rhode Island Affiliates Banned From Amazon.com Sales · · Score: 1

    It's ridiculous that your customer wanted to see if your prices were competitive? "Lol." (Your proper response should have been to inform her that shipping usually outstrips sales tax given the same base price)

    Consumers are already required to pay local sales tax on purchases made like this, most of them just don't. Instead of states requiring retailers to deal with this, why not enforce things as they are already, the individual's responsibility?

  20. Re:As usual with new Firefox releases... on Firefox 3.5 Reviewed; Draws Praise For HTML5, Speed · · Score: 1

    Everyone keeps manically saying "most memory problems are plugin related now" but howcome I don't ever seem to see anyone going "well using adblock $version sites X and Y seem to cause godawful memory leaks even with no browser activity"

  21. Re:Credit Raitings on SSN Required To Buy Palm Pre · · Score: 1

    Having the credit right then doesn't mean a lot unfortunately: Just about anyone could get a credit limit sufficient to pay 2 years of modest phone bills + a nice phone (The interest rate may suck but my point is the credit line itself is not difficult to obtain)

    So the OP could easily put the whole thing on his or her Visa and then disappear or just not pay (Companies eat these losses AFAIK.) That's why credit *history* is important, so they know you're generally okay for paying off your credit debts.

  22. Re:Credit Raitings on SSN Required To Buy Palm Pre · · Score: 1

    They would probably require a deposit if you have no credit history. maybe not as large as the one required for people with bad credit.

  23. Re:And? on SSN Required To Buy Palm Pre · · Score: 1

    Lots of people "know" that it isn't required to fork over an SSN anymore. Most of them also happen to need the thing they're getting a credit check for more than than they feel they need to stand up to the landlord/bank/etc.

  24. Re:They continue to fail on SSN Required To Buy Palm Pre · · Score: 1

    Prices are certainly reasonable to some folks, they're being purchased after all.

  25. Re:Interesting but inherently flawed! on Gold Sold From Vending Machines In Germany · · Score: 1

    Good whisky is indeed difficult to make, but decent moonshine, which will satisfy most people looking to get drunk, is dead simple given a good still and the ability to follow a "recipe"
