    I'm not too sure about that. One person near my hometown (in AL) gave Al Sharpton $10 and they showed up in this database only once (not quiet $100, much less $200 or whatever the law is), with that donation. Wonder what gives there?

    How are these scams? They are up front about what they are selling, information.

    You're absolutely right. So they should have their items moved to a section dedicated to sales of information, not actual electronics, and label their auctions accordingly. If the information doesn't provide the user with the ability to get a cheap system like these listings claim, then I would submit that it is a scam.

    the advertising is a little misleading, but that can be said about any advertising for almost anything.

    Again, you have a good point. These listings, when you see the item titles and parts of the description, are very misleading.

    when was the last time you ate a burger that looked as good as it did in the adverts (or saw a girl that looked like an advert girl for that matter)

    I can't remember when I ate anything that was as good as the ads.

  7. And what happens? on Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If SCO can't produce the offending code? Perhaps Darl McBride and his lawyers would like a stay in a nice prison cell with a guy named Bubba for filing a worthless lawsuit. My guess is that SCO may claim that revealing this code would reveal a trade secret or something, so I expect them to fight back against this.

    But more troubling is the notion that Sweeney does not believe that the rest of us have any right to question the decisions made by public educators.

  15. Well... on 8th Grader Suspended for Using 'net send' Command · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I could understand the suspension if he sent "fuck you" to everybody on the LAN. Since he didn't, we obviously have to look at the incompetent network administrator. He was probably hired under the "reforms" made by Bush there as governor. Why didn't this "qualified expert" that he thinks he is not disable the command line or the run button if he knows so much about security on LANs? Besides, I'd like to know what happens to kids there who do something really serious, like fighting or being late to class or something. Sounds like a bunch of incomptents hired by the chief incompetent (Dubya) when he was there.

    Yes, I have read it. Are the people of Iraq free now because of the US. True, they are free of Saddam. Do they have a legitimate government in place that can control the country?

    Not saying we (the US) is doing a good job, but do you really think armed rebels would set up a fair democratic election? That would be the day

    Wouldn't the American colonists who would later rebel fit into this category? They were armed rebels against a foreign occupier (Great Britain), correct? Or perhaps I'm just a history major who knows nothing about history. Yes, not all of our elections have been fair, but for you to say that this is impossible is totally incorrect.
