  1. Re:Cheating won't go away. on Cheating in Multiplayer Games · · Score: 1

    Play when the 12-year olds have eaten their milk & cookies and have gone to sleep(i.e. post 11pm).

    Is that pacific or eastern time? Or maybe Greenwich time? :)

  2. Re:Saving paper on Environmental Costs of Computer Use? · · Score: 1

    Do you know what software they used to manage that?

  3. If I bid.... on Radio Shack Selling Subway Cars on eBay · · Score: 1

    Will they ask me for my address & telephone number?

    Here is a link that might help:

  5. Re:Hard Disk Noise on A Truly Silent Desktop PC · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't attaching some rather large capacitors to the output of the power supply tackle this problem?

  6. Re:Airplanes and cellphones on Wireless Computing and Airplanes? · · Score: 1

    They already have those. They are called the 'overhead storage bin.' Please store all the cell phone users there.

  8. Re:Exceptions on AOL, MS & Yahoo Unite On Anti-Spam Initiative · · Score: 1

    Isn't there a MSN directory of all the users? I know AOL had something like that once upon a time. Maybe the spammers found it that way.

    Or..... Maybe you don't know all you think you know about your grandma........ :)

  9. Re:interesting on Analysis of Netflix's DVD Allocation System · · Score: 1

    It's a paid service, you would think that they would want to cater to their most active customers to keep from losing them.

    You would have a point if there were a fee per transaction. The money collected on someone who watch 20 movies a month is the same as someone who watches 1 movie a month. Kind of like a gym membership. The gyms just LOVE the fat slobs who stay home & still pay their gym membership bill. :)

  10. Re:u2 and survelliance... on Secret Empire · · Score: 1

    "can you hear me now?"

  11. Re:Not only do we still use the U2.... on Secret Empire · · Score: 1

    I was stationed at Beale AFB for a few years. Beale is/was the training for the SR-71 & U2/TR-1 aircraft. From what I understand from my days at working a Beale AFB, the TR-1 designation was more of a political designation that a technical one. Yes, the TR-1 did have the extra pods on the wing. At that time we entered an agreement with the Soviet Union that neither side would have any more strategic reconnaissance aircraft. TR-1, Tactical reconnaissance. Get it?

  12. Re:This hit us. on Corporations Suffer Microsoft Activation Bug · · Score: 1

    I can only hope the Celeron machine that stores your paycheck data does not suffer the same fate.

    I would recommend to you that you add this configuration to your "Will not work under these conditions" list. I add items like these as I learn just how badly certain companies handle their networks & files. For instance, I will not work anywhere there is even a hint of coax wire. I had to deal with it in the past & I refuse to work with it again. So in an interview, I ask my list of questions. If they answer wrong to any question, as far as I am concerned, the interview is over.

  13. Re:GW Strong Arm Tactics on Games Workshop Tries to Crack Down on Internet Sales · · Score: 1

    Great idea. Once upon a time, some friends & myself bought a master copy of all the lead epic 40k miniatures & then copied them using melted lead & silicone molds. We were able to create some rather impressive armies. Then they changed the armies, changed the rules, & jacked up the prices. I became disenchanted with GW & put the armies under my bed. They haven't moved since then.

  14. Re:PBS special on 606 Takes To film Rube Goldberg-like car ad · · Score: 1

    Yes, Is was called "The way things go."

  15. Re:Most ridiculous thing I've heard on Would Free Music Sell Cars? · · Score: 1

    Stock, comparing peak horsepower, you have a definite point. But once you start adding bolt-ons, the big iron V8 will quickly catch up & overpower you.

    One more point.. Have you seen the torque chart of the Impreza? It looks a bit like El Capitan. A nice, broad, constant torque curve brings more of a smile to my face.

    Thanks for the info. You can find comfort in the knowledge that you have altered my cell phone purchasing decision.

  20. Re:am I the only person on /. on Farscape Fans Reinventing Television · · Score: 1

    I'm with you. I watched it for 5 or so episodes. I then realized I really didn't care if any of the characters lived or died. I took it off my replaytv recording list. I must admit that I don't miss it.

    I guess it takes all kinds.

  21. Re:Astroturfing? on Farscape Fans Reinventing Television · · Score: 1

    Then simply use the "Free Day Pass access."

  22. Re:you'll put your eye out with that thing! on Build Your Own Sherman Tank · · Score: 1

    wood isn't designed to do that sort of thing... and certainly not after a few seasons of hot/cold-wet/dry...

    That kid fitting in that tank won't last one season.

    all he needs is for some kid to put his eye up real close to that barrel to look inside;

    Uh, someone should tell you (and everyone else) not to do that.

    Plus my mom never even let me have a power wheels!

    This would explain the rest of your post. :)

    Sorry Lumpy,
    You can't put that crown on until you can show us some proof.
