  1. Re:Payoffs on Domino Day '02 Ends with a New World Record · · Score: 1

    Except for the problem, that 4,000,000.00 isn't correct everywhere. Some places use 4.000.000,00. However, you are correct in theory, so the easiest way to display it correctly for everyone would be 4 000 000. Most of my math and computer texts, use that format of notation.

  2. Re:Modding should be banned! on Microsoft vs. Modded Xboxes · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, Perhaps you should complain. Anytime I've had a complaint with an obnoxious person in the cinema, s/he was ejected, AND all present were given free tickets for any later date.

    Yes, If you want to create a new document, you must first open word/excel/access vs using the "Open new office document" shortcut, which is broken currently on one of my cow-orkers computers due to a random windows hiccup.

  6. Re:Maybe... on Nokia calls Wireless Warchalkers 'Thieves' · · Score: 1

    Home != Business. Two analogies, First, a telephone call center (a place where you pay $$ per minute for LD phone service, common in certain communities) who leaves the light on, and the door open and goes away for lunch. I walk in and use the phone, No-one there to charge me or to pay, so my call is done I leave.

    Second, one of those internet kiosk centers(found in airports etc) same scenario, I browse my e-mail etc.

  7. Re:CD file sharing and piracy on Bon Jovi Tries New Approach To Fight Piracy · · Score: 1

    I must take exception to your ludicrous suggestion that software is not art. As a software developer, I know that software/algorithm creation is as much an art as stringing together notes to create melody, harmony and rhythm. Some software is also artistic in its final form, however all software is art in its algorithmic creation.

  11. Re:With all due respect, the submitter is wrong. on Electronic Voting's Fundamental Flaws · · Score: 1

    Hanging chads are caused by Pre-punched cards. Give the person a proper punch and a card with clearly defined areas to punch for each candidate. If a mistake is made, the card must be certified destroyed by the voter, and two poll workers(shredding comes to mind), and a new card is issued. If the voter desires, the pieces of the destroyed card may be kept.
