  1. I am using bolt on my blackberry. It works just fine for me.

  2. Looks like they found... on Workings of Ancient Calculating Device Deciphered · · Score: 1

    An ancient doping clock/calendar.

  3. Re:Do what everyone else does on Disillusioned With IT? · · Score: 1

    I second this. You need a change so going this route is the best for all parties involved.

  4. No taxation without representation. on End of the Internet's Tax-Free Ride? · · Score: 1

    It is wrong for any government to tax people that have no say in how much or how they are taxed. Last time this happened in America we went to war and kicked out the Brits.

  5. WoW raids on Does Anonymity In Virtual Worlds Breed Terrorism? · · Score: 1

    Who knew that that raid on Ironforge was really a raid to test out terrorism tactics?

  6. Negotiation ploy on Britain Advises Against Vista, Office 2007 for Schools · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sounds like they are negotiation with Microsoft for cheaper licenses

  7. I am happy on Jackson Slated to Make Hobbit Movie, Sequel · · Score: 1

    I can not wait for the movie to be produced.

  8. Re:Here's his teacher on Student Given Detention For Using Firefox [UPDATED] · · Score: 1
  9. Re:Gunslinger Girl on Joss Whedon Back on TV · · Score: 1

    Yes that is it

  10. This reminds me of a animie on Joss Whedon Back on TV · · Score: 1

    I do not remember the name of it but these little girls were brainwashed to forget their past memories and then were trained and sent out to do special operations.

  11. It has been like this for a long time.. on Listening To The Radio At Work? Prepare To Be Sued · · Score: 4, Informative

    That is why most stores use Muzak so they do not get sued for royalties. I worked for a store in 1986 that had to move in this direction as they were sued by the recording industry and they went to Muzak.

  12. Fork it on The Uncertain Future of OpenOffice.org · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If you do not like the direction that Sun is taking Open Office then fork it and run with your improvements.

  13. I would love to have a DB that stores it both ways on Are Relational Databases Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    I would love for a DB to store in rows when I have data that gets written to a lot but where the data is mainly just read I would love it to be stored in the column format.

    I would select it based upon the table that way I could control the data easily without making it too complicated.

    This would give the best of both worlds IMO

  14. I though ILO was a Walmart brand... on After 10,000 Years, Farming No Longer Dominates · · Score: 1

    Wonder what it stands for in this case?

  15. Too much for not enough on AT&T Deal With eMusic Excludes iPhones · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Why pay 8.00 for five songs that you only rent for a month when you can buy the same 5 songs outright for about the same amount from itunes?

  16. I loved it... on The Sopranos Ends With a ... · · Score: 1

    Life just goes on. Best scene is when AJ got his new BMW he is on the phone with the girlfriend and says something like the new car gets great gas mileage of 23MPG highway. That after lamenting through the season about the US dependence on foreign oil. Fitting way to say good by to JR and I love it that Pallie Walnuts ended up being the good guy/weasel that he has ever been. Also notice that the show only had snow in the first half of the episode. For me this was a fitting end to a great series.

  17. Noob questions... on Screencasts of Installing MythTV Via MythDora 4.0 · · Score: 1

    What hardware would be recommended to get started to get started? I assume a Tuner card in a working PC is what is needed but would additional hardware/software be needed? Why would someone want to use this instead of say TVO? How does a remote to work with this setup?

  18. As an Adult on Cleaning up Thunder Bluff · · Score: 1

    I personally do not want filters of any sort on the game as they hinder the communication that goes on between people. These are just words they can not hurt you at the very worst you are going to be offended but guess what... What you may find offensive I may find humorous and what you find humorous may be offensive to me.

  19. 1984 on HBO Exec Proposes DRM Name Change · · Score: 1

    Why when I heard this I am suddenly reminded of the Newspeak in 1984? They can call it what ever they want to it does not change that it is bad for the consumer who just wants to view the video or listen to the music.

  20. Simple solution on $25M Bounty Offered for Global Warming Fix · · Score: 1

    Just wait 100 billion years or so and the problem will take care of itself. You could also just make it so that no sunlight hits the earth and that will also fix the global warming issue.

  21. The size will be the limiting factor not DRM. on The First HD DVD Movie Hits BitTorrent · · Score: 5, Insightful

    At 20GB this alone will limit pirates as having even 100 of these movies will take up about 2TB of space.

  22. Question that this story makes me want to know... on NASA Sees Glow of Universe's First Objects · · Score: 1

    How large was the universe at the big bang? We know that according to Einstein that matter is not supposed travel faster than the speed of light however if that is true then it would mean that the universe was probably greater than 14 billion light years across if we are able to see light that is about 14 billion years old and we suspect that the universe is 14.7 Billion years old currently.

  23. Simple solution on The BlackBerry Orphans · · Score: 1

    Don't have children

  24. Missing smartcards on Ask a "Star" of HBO's Voting Machine Documentary · · Score: 1
    With Tennessee reporting that they are missing 12 voter cards what is the chance that someone could reprogram the cards and end up fixing the election for one party or another?

    http://www.wmcstations.com/Global/story.asp?S=5630 606

  25. How soon before... on Miami Court Orders Take Two to Hand Over Bully · · Score: 2, Funny

    Jack Thompson is declared "public nuisance"?
