  1. Re:Well Well Spam even while travelling! on Onstar Navigation System to Deliver In-Car Spam · · Score: 1

    Of course, why give out the real information when it will be of no use or benefit to you for doing so?

  2. Why bother. on Libraries Asked To Destroy Reports, Databases · · Score: 1

    It would just make more sense to make documents and such more secure so that they do not get seen by the wrong people. Build some sort of big, vault facility to place things like that in.

  3. These are pretty cool on Invaders from Space! Leonid Showers tonight. · · Score: 1

    I have been outside for the last hour watching the meteor shower. It was very interesting to watch, being my first meteor shower. It has been a while since I have looked up to the stars and I must say that it is really peaceful.

  4. Re:Well Well Spam even while travelling! on Onstar Navigation System to Deliver In-Car Spam · · Score: 1, Informative

    The best way to battle spam is to create a hotmail account to have the spam delivered to. Whenever you sign up to something online you use that account unless you trust them not to spam you or sell your address. I do this and I believe I only once got spammed at my regular e-mail address.

  5. Do they matter? on BC Scraps Mandatory Video Game Ratings · · Score: 0

    I dont know if the ratings have really made a difference. I have bought several games previously that at the time I was not technicaly old enough to buy. Yet, nobody questioned me. So I dont see any major gain in having the ratings not mandatory anymore.

  6. FN Key on What Do You Think of ASUS Laptops? · · Score: 0

    I quite agree with this. It gets in the way and should either not be there at all or be placed somewhere else outside of the regular keyboard layout. They have some uses but in general I think they can be done without.

  7. Re:Projector fun... on Ultimate Guide to Hosting a LAN Party · · Score: 0

    How do you set up "camera where action is" mode. Is there a similar mode for quake 3 as well?

  8. Oh Great!! on HP Buys Compaq · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    All the idiots of the world are now doomed. 2 crappy computer manufacturers teaming up to build the least upgradable, overclockable and user "friendly" computers ever. Get AOL in on this and I forsee the end of the world. (Sidenote, i have no problem with the HP printer and related products. Just the computers)
