    Some folks may need to open a console and type:
    ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem if your serial modem is connected to com1.
    If you use a win modem you might replace it for $20 with a serial modem.
    Done
    P.S. You also need to convert your password to the scrambled string that Netzero expects in place of your password. There are web utils to help with this.

    The Microsoft CEO (and Minister of Defense) bristled at the suggestion that Linux is gaining in popularity as a client operating system at the expense of Windows. "There's no appreciable amount of Linux on client systems anywhere in the world," he said.

    your holding your Black&Decker BFG9 with a Sony Zoom OLED scope, as you peer out from behind a $56 Dollar barrel Texico oil, you see a Presidential candidate pick pocketing a fellow citizel and handing the money to a former CEO of haliburton.

    It will induce you to buy something to solve a problem that you didn't know you have.

    Providing a solution is the easy part, convincing you that you have the problem is key.

  14. Live CDs will install to HDD... on Centrally-Controlled Home Music System on a Budget? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try the list of live CDs at frozentech. I believe there are about 5-10 media versions that can be installed to HDD. Some will rip a CD when inserted. They try to have small foot print (disk space wise) knowing that you will use a "spare" box. I'm not sure about the system requirements seeing how most of them will play DVDs. If one of these will work your life will be much easier.

    The printers, scanners and PC's (adobe and simular software) are already designed to recognize currency. Go ahead and try to print a bill on your printer. It will print 20% of the note and then tell you to visit a specific .gov site. And that assuming you get as far as the print button. Better yet, put a $20 on the copier at work, press copy, stand by the front window and watch all the black sedans pull up. :)

  19. Re:Do parents really want this? on Photo ID Required To Buy/Rent Games In Canada · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Yes, no matter which way they do it, they are making the decision for the parents. Do you prefer the decision of "yes, you can buy this even if your parents don't like it. just hide it till you get to your bedroom." or "No, you can't buy this unless your parents agree."

    It's almost the same F'in thing. only two differences:
    Now the parents can be involed
    Now the parents can't blame the store. (some a'holes were doing that.)
