  1. Re:Vigilantism? on RIAA Uses Local Cops In Oregon Raid · · Score: 1


    But they didn't bust into someone's house, they raided a flea market.

  2. Re:Vigilantism? on RIAA Uses Local Cops In Oregon Raid · · Score: 1


    Citizen's arrest.

    "By the people, for the people" isn't just a nifty catchphrase.

    Of course, if these flea market vendors have an issue with the RIAA, they can always go to court to get their CDs back. Unless they're pirated CDs, in which case they're SOL.

    Listen to him say what? That their solutions are "Boring"?

    Apparently they need to get more monkeys involved in their solutions! And tequila! That would make things interesting, wouldn't it?

    Big business *is* boring. It centers around getting predictable results.

    Throwing more money at the Government makes it bigger, not better.

    Have you lived in any of the primitive societies?

    It's easier to point out exactly what's wrong when you have that experience.

    ha!

    You're not familiar with the 2nd amendment I take it.

    Ah much as respect the police for doing what they can with their jobs, as soon as they start doing things you described, is when they'll start dying en masse.

  7. Re:Hopefully these last longer... on MacBook Pro Gets Santa Rosa Chipset, LED Screen · · Score: 1

    I have. My Samsung display was painfully bright when I had bought it. Now I have to look at it head-on otherwise it's too dim.

  8. Two things... on Sun CEO Says ZFS Will Be 'the File System' for OSX · · Score: 1


    How will ZFS work with Bootcamp?

    When is Leopard coming out? I know it's been delayed, maybe they're testing it with ZFS?

    Instantaneous spam. All over the universe.

    Considering you're the only one who has ever been annoyed by having a concise, unique word to describe something...

    I'm thinking it's you.

    Since you can't, you'll just have to fine it huge sums of money.

    Hey, isn't Youtube owned by Google now? How convenient.

    You would think that. But what ended up happening is that the night shift people were only trained to figure out who to call if a problem happened.

    Cheaper that way.

  17. Re:10-12 billion is expensive? on The World's Longest Tunnel · · Score: 1

    I would.

    Ask how the UK is dealing with the flood of illegal immigrants through "The Chunnel"

    Also, say you wanted to invade the US from that continent. You'd have a hard time getting troops over here by boat since you just don't have that many boats, and the US Navy would be great at blowing them up.

    Now you don't have to worry about it. You have a tunnel. Capture the point on the US side, send millions of troops in Alaska quickly and easily.

  18. Re:The Russian Hacker on Siberia - The Next Silicon Valley? · · Score: 1


    My writing skills didn't improve from college, it came from posting and trying to make a good impression.

    Why do you think people will get an idea of what they want to do in life from college? The only classes that were interesting to me aren't available unless you take a number of prerequisites.

    And think of all the times you'd have gotten laid if you had the money to spend on hookers, instead of blowing it on college.

    College used to be important because access to people and fields of study were limited. We now live in the [i]information age[/i] where you can become as educated as you wish. And it won't cost you more than time and a good internet connection.

    Chaos is the default state. Order requires work and imposing your will onto the chaos.

    I remember a guy who did what you said. He set everything to work up perfectly with minimal downtime and losses when problems happen.

    He got fired because there was nothing to do after it was all set up to run like clockwork.

  21. Re:still running 2000 on Vista Sales Expectations Too High, Office Doing Well · · Score: 1

    iLife is free for the trial period then you have to buy it. At least it was that way when I bought my Mini.

    Which I sold several months later.

    When I wiped and reinstalled XP, I didn't reinstall iTunes. It crashed too much and caused too many problems. I essentially threw away all the music I bought from the Apple store.

    I don't do DVD editing, I have a PC and tons of disk space. If I want a movie, I download it and watch it off my hard drive.

    Maybe someday I'll buy a Powerbook. But that's about it.

  22. Re:10,000 customers? on MySQL Prepares To Go Public · · Score: 1

    Because I can get it installed and working with almost no effort.

    Would love to switch to Postgres, but I just don't get it. And short of buying a book on it and reading up (paying money) I really don't see postgres becoming as easy to install and use as MySQL.

    So, let me get this straight, he put in all his hours, and left early on Friday because he's worked a full week.

    You schedule meetings at the end of the week, at the end of the day. You didn't see this coming?

    You *better* pay above market value if you require people to work more hours.

  24. Re:hmm BTX style? on AMD Aims At New Standard for Motherboards · · Score: 1

    There is a demand for a smaller motherboard in the market.

    But it looks like the DTX isn't that much smaller than the standard "Micro-ATX" form factor.

    So what's the point?

    Design a standard mini-itx where I can plug in a dual core AMD chip and I'll sit up and take notice.
