  1. Re:Google tomorrow? on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

    That would create a paradox, it would click a link because in the future you were to click that link, but since it clicked that link for you, you couldn't have clicked the link, and the information it used to determine which link to click couldn't possibly have existed, so we're screwed.

    *head explodes*

  2. Re:Most controversial... on Great Gaming Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    that brings back memories...MK for Genesis: ABACABB -- the blood code. How do I remember this stuff?

  3. Re:BlueTooth Hacking billboards! on Bluetooth Ads Beamed from Billboards · · Score: 1

    so you're never going to buy a car/beer/cell phone/perfume?

  4. Re:I must be old. on TI Calculators Play Movies · · Score: 3, Informative

    from that page, a link to a new calc being developed:
    http://www.hpcalc.org/qonos.php

    eCos, running in 512KB SRAM and providing one month of battery life
    Linux, running in 64MB of SDRAM and providing considerably more than a day of battery life

    A day of battery life??

  5. Re:Videotron in Canada on ISPs Known for Defending Their Customer's Rights? · · Score: 1

    I'm doing alright with Sympatico High Speed at the moment here in Montreal. Running my own site and have no issues. Speed is good, no complaints.

  6. Re:more information on Henrico County iBook Sale Creates iRiot · · Score: 1

    I'd mod you up if I had the points. The pics from the Richmond Times Dispatch are incredible, and sad. What some people would do for a deal. After seeing the picture of the lady with the busted baby carriage picking up after herself, it begs the question, why would you bring your baby to something like this?

  7. Re:Not the same competition? on 8th Annual AUV Competition Results · · Score: 1

    That was from Wired magazine. (and I'm sure it was posted on /., we love regurgitating wired articles here!) I'm too lazy to try and find. But it was quite a fascinating article!

    Goddamn! Its been too long since I've taken a math or stats course...I need to do that again.

  9. Re:CVS Disposable Camera on Slashback: Randomness, Donations, Ramp · · Score: 1

    no shit....do we have cvs pharmacies in canada? I guess not even Pharmaprix/Shoppers Drug Mart will touch these.

  10. Re:Song prices on iTMS Launches in Japan · · Score: 1

    Because everyone has a Japanese credit card.

  11. Re:It might be scary to say this... on Google Patents RSS Advertising · · Score: 1

    wow....someone who managed to get working Wayback Machine links in a /. post. In the past few days i've seen a bunch of posts where people tried unsucessfully to link to them...whats the secret?

  12. Re:So there really isn't anything new under the su on Canada and Denmark using Google as Battleground · · Score: 1

    I'm with you on that one, I think I actually saw a show about that recently. I believe that they were saying as there's less and less of an ice cap, that companies/countries are looking to exploit the northwest passage and stuff...if only we had a way to defend it--like submarines.

  13. Re:DVD on Free Audio Content for Long Drives? · · Score: 1

    in my neck of the woods, you can pick the up audio for the local CBC station at the bottom of the FM spectrum (87.9). useful if there's a hockey game you want to see and there's no other radio station covering it but cbc is...

  14. Re:I wanted to watch it live on Shuttle Discovery Lifts Off · · Score: 1

    I finally got connected to the yahoo stream at T-10 seconds...just in time.

  15. Re:dupe on Google Hacking for Penetration Testers · · Score: 1

    *woosh* that was the sound of the joke passing way over your head. (it was in reference to an Alanis Morissette song)

  16. Re:Phone service vs. Phone Wire Service on Canadian Telco Admits to Blocking Union's Website · · Score: 1

    With sympatico DSL service here in Canada, you do not need a phone line to connect. It's not advertised obviously, but it's possible (i did it). They just give you a dummy phone number, flip a switch at you CO and thats it. Obviously this implies that you have wires to your place: if you don't then you have to pay more for a tech to visit.

  17. Re:Other People's Movies on More Rumblings on Apple Video iPod · · Score: 1

    I wouldnt want to watch video in public. I've seen someone watching a video on a PSP, and the person sitting beside her kept trying to steal a glance at the screen without being too obvious. If I was her and I caught someone doing that I'd be pissed off!

  18. Re:More Questions then Answers on Harry Potter's 'Half Blood Prince' Leaked · · Score: 1

    As if they needed it. The past three days business has been about nothing but Raincoast Books, and of course Harry Potter doesn't need anymore publicity.

  19. Re:That explains it... on 11-Nation Raid on Net Pirates · · Score: 3, Informative

    i believe what he wanted to say was child porn

  20. Re:One word here to on Are Older Games More Satisfying? · · Score: 1

    you said the magic word: elastomania!
    I spent so much time playing that, managed to get to the final level (with the 5 level skips you're allowed...some of them were impossible!)

  21. Re:Actually Duck Tape isn't Duct Tape on Wil Wheaton Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    If i had points, you would have gotten one there! Lets hear it for the Red Green references!

  22. Re:What's wrong with PayPal? on How Amazon and Google are taking eBay's Business · · Score: 1

    use an actual credit card processor. (Just not Cardsystems, or whatever they are called)

  23. Re:Slight difference? on Lost Credit Data Improperly Kept, Company Admits · · Score: 1

    The receipts are usually kept by the merchant for a period of time in case a transaction has to be verified (like someone above mentionned in the case of fraudulent transactions). The convenience store that I work at has paper records and receipts for the past few years stored on premises.

  24. Re:Rule of thumb: Wired Wireless on Cell Phone Service as High Speed Internet Link? · · Score: 1

    I wish there was an offer like that in my city.

    That's exactly what I'm looking for as I move into my own appartment. I have a cell, so I don't need a landline and I don't want to pay $30/month for a phone line + $40 for dsl.

  25. Re:like this one? on Sites Leaking Users' Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    Considering that the title of the home page is "MMA Internal Web" and it says in big letters (in a flash) "welcome to our internal pages", I don't think that those schedules are meant to be seen by the general public. They have each student's physical address!

    Only 50 minutes of Phys. Ed. a week! Ha!

    Completely off-topic, but since when has /. been using these? "To confirm you're not a script, please type the text shown in this image:"
    oops "You failed to confirm you are a human. "
