  1. Returning home from family vacation in Vietnam on Laptops Searched and Confiscated at U.S. Border · · Score: 1

    When I returned home from my last Vietnam vacation the customs guard asked about what I had done on vacation and had me power up my laptop and show him our vacation photos.
    This was in July of 2003. I was very suprised by his request to look at my vacation photos. The guy didn't even blink at the small bundle of DVD movies I had purchased in HCM city (Siagon)

  2. Re:Its happened before...quite often on North Pole Heads South · · Score: 1

    The idea you posted is correct except that is not in the sedimentary layer where the information is stored.
    The Geologic record of the poles shifting can be found in the undersea volcanic rock at the Mid-Atlantic rift zone.
    As the volcanic magma cools the the record of the direction of the magnetic pole is frozen in the rock.

  3. Re:I think that we are missing something... on Ice-Free Summers Coming To Arctic · · Score: 1

    I think what is missing is the fact that the Earth as a global ecosystem
    could and has tolerated such fluctuations in output from the Sun.

  7. Re:His kid... (or some other child) on Safeway Club Card Leads to Bogus Arson Arrest · · Score: 1

    You do not need the card to make purchases at Safeway.

  10. Games of a sort for very young children. on 2004 Board Games Gift Guide · · Score: 1

    I just purchased for my Nephew the standard Alphabet blocks.
    What learning game would the Slashdot crowd suggest for a 2 year old child??

  12. Eagle computer??? on First Computers · · Score: 1

    I only ask this question because one of the daughters of the founder was my girlfriend in High School.

  13. Juries...Do we still use them????????? on Take-Two Interactive and Sony Sued Over GTA · · Score: 1

    Just a question, an observation.
    In our Society you can SUE anyone for anything. This in its self is not the problem.
    The problem as I see it is the people on the Juries. Why do Juries award such huge awards????
    If we as potential Jurist knew and UNDERSTOOD what we could do as a Jurist.
    We would probably not see such BS brought to the Courts.

    It is not up to the Lawmakers/ Government to decide for us what should or shouldn't be allowed to goto Court.
    We as Citizens, the people who serve on Juries should be the only ones to decide the validity of claims made in Court.
    I hope the Jury for this case finds Sony/Whomever not Liable and the Parents %100 liable.
    Does anyone know if the Victims Families are Suing the kids parents?????

    I have had to deal with this same problem off and on.
    Someone who does not like the idea of my operation of a website critical
    of our company forges e-mails with my E-mail Address.

  22. Re:Simply put .. well said. on Building Online Communities · · Score: 1, Redundant
    This has to be one of the facts that I've had to face, going into my third community site. You create and direct when the community is starting up. Once its established, your role becomes more understated and less direct. You guide and influence. You don't direct.
    I too came to this realization operating my online community.
    I try to quide and set the groundrules but let it operate as the community sees fit.

    I believe Microsoft has sold their 'Non Voting' shares in Apple.
    Microsoft, as a show of faith purchased $150,000,000 worth of Apple shares. In no way does Microsoft own %51 of Apple.

  24. Did Woz operate a joke line????? on Macworld Interviews Woz · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As a kid in Silicon Valley I remember dailing 867-1111 to hear jokes or was 741-1111.
    Anyone from the Bay Area should recognize those numbers.
    My memory is fuzzy, but I recall reading or hearing somewhere that Steve operated a joke line.
    I would also like to thank the Steve's for giving 12 or 16 Apple computers to Redwood Middle School in 1981 or 82.
