  1. Re:Its like cake with no Salt. on World Firefox Day · · Score: 1

    Has anyone ever tried to hibernate windows with firefox running and a few tabs open? Usually when windows comes back up Firefox is hogging 99% of the cpu and running up the memory usage. IE doesn't do anythinge similar :( I have put this in as a bug a few times, but I think it's still a problem.

  4. Re:not the funniest joke on Student Suspended Over IM Icon · · Score: 2, Funny
    Although the students apparently viewed the icon as a joke, VanderMolen did not. He later testified that he was scared, concerned and felt sick to his stomach upon reading the message. He asked to be removed from teaching the English class because he was concerned for his safety and that of his 6-month-old child. The school principal claimed that VanderMolen appeared anxious and fearful.
    What a puss. Just go punch the kid in the face. He's 15. VanderWussin.
  5. Re:The pre-requisites aren't enough... on What Do Geek Squad Technicians Actually Do? · · Score: 1

    I do love when companies put A+ as a requirement. My tech bench supervisor (Best Buy before geek squad) didn't need an A+ to work circles around everyone else. When I worked there (about 3 years ago) there was no certification requirement. I just had to know what I was doing.

    Kathleen Blanco should be worried about the coming hurricane season rather than wasting everyone's time with this.

    Last I checked, a "church, company, school or club" didn't include the US government.
    Last I checked most of my money still has the word "god" on it.
    Last I checked the government controls, and is controlled by a multitude of companies.
    Last I checked public schools were controlled by Local government, which is controlled by State government, which is controlled by Federal government. (Yeah I know it's not that simple, but that's how it is)
    Last I checked "club" is a funny word, and people in "clubs" are just weird.
  21. Re:The civil liberties issue might be this on Dental School Blogger Punishment Reduced · · Score: 1
    The civil liberties issue might be a bit different. A lot of people have argued that if you are a student, the school has the right to react to your public remarks about it. This must be true, an employer will have the same right. You cannot expect to remain a member in good standing of a church, company, school or club if you make public speeches bringing it into disrepute. So people are right to argue that this is not a free speech issue.
    So anyone who disagrees with the US government in any way, or makes disparaging remarks about it should no longer be in good standing as a citizen of the US? This "case", if you want to call it that, is ridiculous.
    But surely there is something very odd indeed about the proposed 'punishment' or elements of it. The demand that the guy get counselling. What exactly is the legal status of counselling? When is it required, and who has the right to require that one get it? The idea that a school can require one to get counselled is strange. Even stranger is 'Community Service'. This is used as a punishment by the courts, and the idea that a school can impose it is bizarre.
    I'm sure the University is requiring this for the student to be let back into the school, and get his scholarship back. If not, then they have no right to force these crazy "punishments." I don't think he should be punished at all, and if he is, maybe he should consider a different school. One that doesn't try to squash free speech.
  22. Re:The real thieves... on Barcode Scam Redux - Target's $4.99 iPod · · Score: 1

    Self Checkout is not a good solution. Just find an item that's close to the same weight, say an ipod nano case for the ipod itself, and put that barcode on the actual nano.

    What moron knocks off the price by $200+ anyways. Should have gone for like $150, sold them on ebay, and made the $50-100 profit. Kids.
