  1. Re:wow on Sprint Drops Customers Over Excessive Inquiries · · Score: 1

    I've heard rumors that if you call Sprint to tell them your call was just dropped, they will issue you a 50-cent credit... no questions asked. Heard comments about how people are abusing it.

        If it takes about 40-60 calls to pay for your phone bill every month...

        I assume this excessive phone calling is related somehow. Can anyone confirm?

  2. Re:Old tech on Tiny Generator Runs Off Vibrations · · Score: 1

    Yes, but those are US watches. Now the UK can begin making them too.

    "Ah, okay. Guess I missed the context there. Perhaps a test in the Nevada or Utah deserts is in order then?"

    so how much jail time did you have to serve?

  6. Re:believe it when I see it on "Spam King" Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Court · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I predict 4 to 7 years...

    which typically translates to <1 year of time served and lots of probation/wrist-slapping.

  7. Re:If you don't get on Time Warner Cable Implements Packet Shaping · · Score: 1

    "it has to be able to reach 200mph in a plausible situation."

    I can think of a plausible one. So what exactly IS the terminal velocity of a volkswagon in freefall?

  8. Re:choice four on Time Warner Cable Implements Packet Shaping · · Score: 1

    Actually, how about we start by adding "seperation of Church and State" to the constitution. Then we can talk about adding "Corporate".

  9. Re:If you don't get on Time Warner Cable Implements Packet Shaping · · Score: 1

    Actually I think they are usually worded even worse:

    YOU HAVE ALREADY WON 100 MILLION DOLLARS,
    if number you are holding is the winning ticket

    There oughta be a law.

  10. Re:can you say... on Legal Online Gambling May Return to US · · Score: 1

    In other words:

    democrats want people to lose their hard earned money to casinos, so that casino lobbyists can give money to them.

    It's all about choice, people... and the economy

  11. Re:What is XBMC? on Linux Finally Getting XBMC · · Score: 1

    Triple Ditto

    This really should have been a poll I guess.

    "Other than game saves and music for in-game listening, what were these hard drives used for?"

    I'm curious if this works out in the USA as well

  15. Re:Has anyone tried on NASA Fires Astronaut · · Score: 1

    I personally think there is no such thing as bad publicity. No one has been talking about NASA for years until lately.

    I predict that no one will read this article.

  17. Re:One quick thought about licensure on RIAA's 'Expert' Witness Testimony Now Online · · Score: 1

    My question: Where do I sign up to become an expert witness on web porn? I'm darn near sure I've got at LEAST 4 hours total in....

    You can sign up for that Here

  18. Re:How appropriate... on The Assassination of Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    You act like people care about blowing their money... they don't.

    Most of the time it's all on credit anyway.

  19. Re:Nice Timing on Meetings Make You Dumber · · Score: 1

    I've actually sat through meetings quite regularly where I expect someone to stand up and say we're all dumber for having listened... something like that Billy Madison movie.

    You've been awarded no points... and may God have mercy on your soul.

  20. Re:Unique Defense? on IBM Sued for Firing Alleged Internet Addict · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode where George did something like this.

    Oh, you mean that's not OK?

  25. Re:Eternal Vigilance on Kansas Adopts New Science Standards · · Score: 1

    Being in Kansas, My pessimistic viewpoint is that it will change back and forth every year.

    No one cares about the issue long enough to stay in office longer than a year.
    So "naturally", next election: ID will prevail once again.
