  1. Re:Maybe they will come to their senses on Congress To Force Cable a la Carte Plans · · Score: 1

    I have analog, because I refuse to pay extra per device I hook up to the cable stream. I have a TV upstairs, a TV in the living room, a PC in the living room, and a TV and a PC in the basement! No WAY I'm buying 6 recievers, and loosing the ability to change the channel on my PC!

    You are a good dood. =)

    I think the main reason I would mod my x-box would be for a nekkid patch tho...

  3. Re:The machine's been replaced twice over now! on AppleCare - How Many Problems is Too Much? · · Score: 1

    I have lived in my new home in a middle-sized city for a year, and have had only one brief power outage, say about 15 seconds, in that time. I dont blame them either, we were having one heck of a wind storm!

  4. Re:Oooh, pick me! Pick me! on Streaming MP3s on Demand? · · Score: 1

    No, but I am wiring up my house for those Slimp players in each room with overhead speakers in the ceilings. I want to have the slimp devices built flush into the wall next to the light switch. :)

  5. Maybe they will come to their senses on Congress To Force Cable a la Carte Plans · · Score: 1

    And instead of trying to offer ala-cart, they will just decrease the cost of cable across the board. They have to realize that installing selective filters on millions of homes for JUST what that person whats to watch would be FAR more expensive than just lowering monthly costs by 1/2 or more. Get with it Comcast!

  6. Re:Oooh, pick me! Pick me! on Streaming MP3s on Demand? · · Score: 1

    Because I have 121 Gigs of sorted MP3's at home, and I want access to ALL of them wherever I am in the house, on the road, and this way I can construct playlists @ home, and stream anything I want to my desk / device at any time!

  7. Re:I've done this for years. on Data Security on Windows Machines? · · Score: 1

    The reason he would use IPX is that 99% of the vulnerabililties run over TCP/IP, and there will be no transport between your internet and the server (if you have TCP/IP turned off on the server) and will keep the script kiddies out! PS IPX will also let you play nice starcraft games over local LAN, woot!

  8. Why Timothy... on Getting A Laptop With The Low U.S. Dollar · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Timothy, why in the hell would this lame ass story get posted to slashdot???
    What kind of a newbie question is 'where can I buy a laptop'... If you can't google for that, why bother signing on to slashdot? Please maybe filter what you actually post a little bit, it would be nice to have relevent topics on /. instead of this.


    kisses karma goodbye

    Decency for decency's sake would be great, but the problem is that people flock to decency just for religious reason, and dont look at the logic behind it. Dont be a drone, think for yourself, you dont need God to tell you that killing people is bad.

  15. Re:Is this a business account? on Where is the Line on Email Privacy? · · Score: 1

    I am sorry, the prior poster was pissing me off. The last thing I want to do all day is look at ANYONE's email. I dont care, and frankly its none of my business. The whole point is the RIGHT to. As a company, the email and the equipment is owned by the company, and the fact that the employee feels they have the right to use them for personal business is rediculous.

  16. Re:Is this a business account? on Where is the Line on Email Privacy? · · Score: 1

    Bull, you can pick up the phone and call them FROM HOME! the point is that personal calls / emails / communications do not belong at work! THE CONVERSATION IS ABOUT EMAIL! I didnt say anything about toilets, jesus christ dude, I could give a crap about that. The whole point is that there should be a seperation between home life and work life. If you had an employee that YOU were paying spending 30% of their time penning emails home or sitting on the phone, you are saying you wouldnt care???? That you wouldnt audit their email and phone use to verify that they are spending a ton of time on personal business, then fire them for it???? Bullshit, when its YOUR MONEY, then come talk to me. Till then, you are just another peon.

    Its troll's like you that get fired because they fuck off on 'THEIR' computer because they feel the company owe's them something, then because of their own inability to cope with a work environment and function in society, they go on welfare and make me pay more taxes to support their fucking lazy bum asses while you marry some fat chick and have 6 kids to sponge off every welfare program available. Its called COMPANY EMAIL for a reason, it belongs to the company. You perform company business over it, it is housed on the company email server, your damn right I own it!! And when you leave, I will keep it, move it to other people to handle your accounts, re-assign your address to your replacement, etc. Its NOT yours, you cant save it on your happy ass way out of the office when I fire you for fucking around all day, and you certainly wont get a good referral, I will tell them your a lazy fuck!

  18. Re:Is this a business account? on Where is the Line on Email Privacy? · · Score: 1

    We were talking about a company. About doing things on company time. Get a clue you screwhead, you are purchasing a service from the phone company, but when you are an employee you are doing work FOR someone. And I put disclaimers in both a login script and the company handbook about email being the property of the company, any admin that doesnt probably shouldnt be an admin.

  19. Re:Is this a business account? on Where is the Line on Email Privacy? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    but to perform that communication you are using work equipment...work bandwidth...work software licenses owned by the company. There is no reason that you should think that any of this belongs to you. If you program software on your work computer during work time, it is owned by the company, not you, why would email be any different??

    I can feel the bitterness in your words... yes, I can see in your past, the lonely nights staring at your monitor after you had been fragged over... and over... and over again. It was just too much for you, the moving, the jumping, the shooting, and all at the same time!
