    tion, why not use the thing as a giant physical IM client? when you speak to it, have it relay whatever it hears to one of it's soon to be overlord cousins, kinda at random..

    good luck with your theory.

    some people PAID MONEY for kazaa ?gold? and were still sued by the Riaa

    and how free do you think it is to get to the point where you get to espouse your theory to the judge?

    now I can go there with a clear conscience,

    pheww, I was worried it was gonna be a mob scene, but now I can rest easy, knowing that even after I get there, I can still go camping in the wilderness areas...

    WTF IS THE POINT OF THIS!

    get there first, make exisistence possible, wait until you reach a population of >50- then worry about running out of pristine areas.....

  13. Re:ZAP! = Pump n Dump on ZAP Smart Car Approved for Sale in the US · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I had 22 shares in my IRA once upon a time.

    occasionally, they sent me snail mail spam that included shareholder only discounts on their products.

    it was a 'green' smidge in my IRA that cost me about 150$ total.. I don't however work for them- or have any connections with them whatsoever... nor do I know that such is still a practice with them.

  14. I've owned zap stock in my life, on ZAP Smart Car Approved for Sale in the US · · Score: 2, Informative

  17. Re:What I want... on The VHS is Dead · · Score: 1
    toshiba branded tivo model sdh400 (if you can find one anywhere)

    I've had it for just over a year, never paid the subscription or monthly fee.. tivo blames it for a lot of loss of revenue.. it gives 3 days worth of guide data, and does NOT do recording of 'season passes'

    but it does do what you want.. and it's saved my tv habits like you can't believe (best thing in the world to buy a new parent)

    they are no longer made I believe, to purchase new, you'll have to buy some NOS (new old stock) from an online merchant.. very mch worth it to me.

    40 hrs basic recording, 80 hrs at low quality, plus it has a dvd player in it... find one, love it.. I do..

  18. Re:Countermeasures? on Color Laser Printers Tracking Everything You Print · · Score: 2, Interesting
    why- do you want to counterfeit cash?

    my suggestion? find another same model printer that does this, then DUPLICATE PRECISELY these yellow dots in your final image... two sets, should--- well, supply reasonable doubt at least...

  19. obvious inaccuracy... on Digital Music Player Overview · · Score: 1
    when an article has an obvious (to me, and I think many of the /. readership) inaccuracy, I have to wonder about more potentially obscure inaccurate bits of the review.

    the statement "Apple has refused to the license FairTunes DRM to makers of other digital portables"
    is not 100% correct

  20. From looking at the terminals, on Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles · · Score: 1
    it would seem you enter a multi-digit code to indicate destination, it would also seem to be a very limited display..

    better, would be a larger display, and the system is knowledgable of your top destinations, and you could say, select one of them, (maybe 5-7) or key in a multidifit code for a one-shot destination..

    I'm sure for most patrons, a fixed # of standard destinations are par for use

    another thing I see needed (and not addressed) is a way to indicate the car is unacceptable due to prior ridership, and it take off empty- reports to maintenance depot for cleaning- with the previous user warned/banned.

  21. nice, on Supermarket Loyalty Cards Vs National ID Cards · · Score: 1
    do you ALWAYS PAY CASH?
