  1. Pirate eh? on Will AT&T Start Filtering Your Connection? · · Score: 1

    A Pirate walked into a bar and the bartender asked, "Is that a steering wheel in your pocket?"
    the Pirate replied, "Arrggg, It's drivin' me nuts."

    Not shocked... Its good it has some support even if its a plug-in. Its been a good 3+ years since I even used it.. I like my Gmail more... =)

    Last I checked Sylphed has support.. http://www.claws-mail.org/features.php?section=gen eral however last time i used it, it didn't support HTML, which is good in my opinion.

  4. Re:I have a better idea on Putin Threatens US Missile Bases In Europe · · Score: 1

    You also forgot that Russia fell apart in the late 1980's and early 90's. If Russia HAD put nukes in Cuba who do you think would be in control of the nukes now? The high and mighty Fidel Castro that all the libs and Hollywood scum (Michael Moore's) seem to worship.

    You can install the Firefox plug-in "Customizegoogle" and block all those evil adds that sit on the right side and aren't even noticeable.

  6. So much for Capitalism on Norway Liberal Party Wants Legal File Sharing · · Score: 1

    If I was a musical artist I would no longer allow my music to be sold in Norway. If I was a popular musical artist living in Norway.. I would be getting ready to pack my bags and move.

    This is the "whats mine is yours" communism method.

  7. I disagree about "NoScript" on Top 10 Firefox Extensions to Avoid · · Score: 1

    NoScript is the first plug-in that I install. I love that thing hands down. It's blocking "doubleclick.net" right now that Slashdot is trying to include. =)

  9. Re:2 year old satellite images are dangerous? on Google Earth and "Collateral Damage" · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter of the images are 2 days or 2 years old. If its a photo of an active base in an area prone to attacks then it shouldn't be available to the public.

    * $1000 - $2000 each to your normal market.
    * $100,000 - $250,000 each to the government for the same outfit as above.

    That sounds about right....

    Finally, if you are a law abiding American citzen or law abiding resident then you should have nothing to worry about. However if you skirt the law, are a criminal, and in this country illegally then I say tough shit to you. The constitution is for protecting the citizens, not every joe blow who crosses the border.

    Bingo! I agree. I personally could care less if they look at my mail. I have nothing to hide. 95% of it are just crappy ass Capital-One credit card offers anyways.

    I would guess most of the people that throw their arms up and have a hissy fit over these things are doing something wrong or illegal and fear being cought so they hide behind their "CIVIL LIBERTIES". It's these people that can't give something up for a short time that will be the real doom of this country.

  13. Re:Um, overpriced and they don't last... on Wal-Mart Is Pushing Compact Fluorescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    I've been replacing old lights with these new ones for the past several years now and I have yet had a CFL go out. As for the light level they give off.. Most take a minute or two to warm up to their stated light levels.

    Only problem I have is they do give off a yellowish color that I do hate. I bought one bulb at a discount store once that gives off a true white light and have never seen that brand anywhere ever again.

  14. This is what happens.. on Students Put UCLA Taser Video On YouTube · · Score: 1

    When children that don't listen to parents and the parents let them get away with not listing grow up. They think they can get away with not listening and do as they wish. This is also known as the "Me" generation. This is the now teens and early 20's group of people that feel they have the right to do anything and everything they please without obaying laws or respecting the people around them.

    Flame away, it will only help prove my point.

  15. FF2 has been out longer. on Firefox 2.0 Wins Phishfight Against IE7 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'm no expert and well I'm also a Firefox (FF) lover and IE hater. Mainly cuz its CSS support sucks but that might be changing.

    Anyways.. I would guess that FF has a small advantage here cuz its been out in users hands longer thus has had time to let its anti-fishing rules evolve somewhat. IE7 is still new and has some learning to do =)

    My 1.5 cents.

  16. Re:Last I checked... on Global Warming Debunked? · · Score: 1

    My point exactly.. they happened in the past and will happen again with or without humans being around. Many of us humans want to believe we are the cause of everything that happens and must fix it. We need to step back and learn more before starting to finger point. The new theory is that ice ages are caused by global warming. The ice caps melt causing to much fresh water to flood into the oceans and stopping the "oceanic conveyor belt" i believe its called from flowing. This is turn causes climate change making the northern and southern polls to get colder and freeze.. thus an ice age. Because ice does not contain sea salt, as it freezes the oceans become salty once again and over years the oceanic conveyor belt will start flowing again ending the ice age. YAY.

    Because man hasn't been around to see this happen.. This is all just another theory just like global warming.

    global warming was still a theory...

    I for one do not believe it yet. How can I believe people that are using data that goes back 150 some years when the earth has been around for 4+ billion years. I still believe its the natural cycles of the earth mixed with the 11 year cycles of the sun and other various natural causes.

    There have even been warmer and colder times ON RECORD long before cars and coal power was around, pre 1900's. Someone want to explain what caused these? Did global warming exists back then?

  19. Well.... on Does Offshoring Threaten Combat Software? · · Score: 1

    China will be making our tanks and bombs soon.. why out outsource the programmers and take it a step further.. outsource the entire military! I'm sure Nancy Pelosi would be all for it seeing its being FAIR to other countries.

    meh.. thanks to NAFTA and low to no import tax we soon won't have any factories to build war tanks and planes. Whats to stop another Hitler from walking into this country and taking it over. I blame the past to administrations (bush and clinton) on this..

    My 2 cents. I'm sure some liberal will call my OPINION a shitty ass one.. but I don't care =). whatever floats their boat...

    Enjoy...

  21. Re:Now if we can on ACLU Drops Challenge Over Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    I agree with you... What ever happened to "a government of the people, by the people and for the people"?

    In my state back in 2004 there was a vote to make marriage between a man and a women and it passed like 80%. However some people didn't like this and took it to court and had it thrown out. Why bother voting anymore when a hand full of people get to impose what they want even though the majority of the people don't want it?

    I believe that what people vote should come above anything else even the courts (unless there is is error or fixing in the vote that could change the outcome and can be proven) and can not be overturned unless by another vote from the people.

    BTW I sure started some arguement here.. rather funny. If some of these people got their way back during WW2 then America would have been in some trouble.

  22. Hahaha on Testosterone Tumbling in American Males · · Score: 1

    HAHA.. I say its all the people pushing "its ok to be gay" idea around. If you look at the general American male society 50 to 60 years ago then look at it today, Its obvious why someone would say this. Men are slowly fading away into sissy men.

    Don't goto the barber shop where they run the vacuum though your hair when done. Goto the beauty parlor where you can also get a pedicure!!

  23. I'm not surprised on MySpace Accounts Compromised By Phishers · · Score: 1

    This just adds to the reasons why I'm glad I stopped using this service. I deleted my account on here a few months ago. I was getting sick of the fake spam/scam accounts wanting to invite me to be their "friend". Yeah I know setting my profile to non public would stop this but then it defeats the the whole part of having friends being able to find you.

    Also the MySpace site is general is kinda clunky.. Looks like some high school kids project thats still learning HTML. Another words it look like crap. IMHO!

    your IM conversations
    If I remember correctly, its AIM that changed its AUP to say that anything you send over its AIM service they have explicit rights to, meaning they can use your chat message anyway they please without asking. As for the other IM clients, I'm sure they can save everything you send though them as well. At least Google is letting you know they can do and do it IF you have the logging enabled. I do because I like going to my gmail account and searching my chat logs if i ever need to, and I have in the past.

    even your local files if you use they dodgy indexing service
    Got some proof? Please share with us.
