I usually thank people who have served our country, but never someone such as yourself, what with your arrogance and weird, misplaced sense of entitlement. Why do you think you're special? Because you did your job? Get a grip...
What's with the cowards who are *so* convinced of their stance, yet they're afraid and/or ashamed to post using even a pseudonym? Coward. That's right, you're a coward, hiding.
Now go ahead mods, do your thing & mod this as a troll because you disagree with me and I'm not PC. Then afterwards you can go look up Troll and learn what it really means. (Here's a hint kids: it does not mean "one who holds opposing views")
If not, there are a lot of people who won't be able to find out even basic weather forecasts because ATSC just plain sucks in anything remotely approaching fringe reception areas.
I keep reading things like this when this topic comes up and can't help but wonder: am I one of the few people left that know how a radio works? Somehow, I think the answer is "no".
TV is a luxury (I use that term loosely), not a necessity.

I've not watched network TV for several years (as in more than 5). Why would I? In addition, I can see my cable being cancelled in less than a year. You see, programming has degraded to such a point that, even the one channel I still watch (Speed channel), has sunken to the stupidity known as "Reality" programming. Instead of showing auto & bike racing, more and more programming is being dedicated to pseudo-shows hosted by bleached, implanted, augmented, and pierced midriff-showing nobodys... /RANT
Yes, but we're only hiring South Georgia rednecks at the moment. However, you're free to come by & drop a resume. We're located in East Bumblefuck, GA.
I disagree (this is slashdot;) MST3K was just as strong without Joel. Sure, Mike's delivery is completely different, but no better or worse. Joel was mellow and out in left-field; Mike was sharp & *very* witty, not to mention being a total nerd.
Each MST 'era' has a unique feel, for sure. But they're no better or worse than each other. They're just different; apples and oranges... Or as a friend & I agree on when this topic comes up: "It's the whole Kirk-Picard thing".
But yeah, the Invention Exchanged ruled. So did Frank.
Ballmer seems to be cranked up on about, oh, an 8-ball of coke in that video. That clip is classic.... I haven't seen it in a few months...thanks for posting!
Everyone is missing a point here: Who in there right mind backs up data, then uses UPS of all companies, to ship it? These guys are brutal, and have a well deserved reputation for roughing up, damaging, and destroying/losing packages. Ever notice how your nice, delicate electronic type toys are shipped via Fed Ex? Hmmm?
My favorite personal UPS experience is when I recieved a large manilla envelope from UPS. They thoughtfully added a nice, large, black *tire track* (as in from a truck) across the envelope. Free of charge!
What can brown do for me? Not my shipping, that's for certain!
Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Also, I don't buy the idea that so-called identity theft is anything new, or that it has gotten worse. It's just the "latest thing" to report on and plant fear in people. Just fear tactics in some pathetic hope of reducing liability.
What a spineless pussy. I like the line about how others should now stop using the program out of respect for some companies rights. Again, what a *pussy*.
Oooh look, mod him up! He stated the obvious! Brilliant! Let me try.
"Only in water will you find fish!" Aren't I delightfully insightful? But seriously, that "My" prefix always bugged me. Seems juvenile and redundant. Of course they're "My" documents; they're on *my* fscking computer.
I would like to hear some OS X users opinions on this post.
You sure about that? I'll just say that yes, OS X has Software Update, which pulls & applies patches from Apple.
But with all due respect, I can't take the time to rebut your post as there are just too many BS "points" and "facts" in there. Here's one of my faves:
The thing morons like this Intel guy don't realise is that Windows only gets viruses and spyware because virus and spyware writers get the most reach by targeting the OS that runs on 90% of desktop computers.
So, the *only* reason it "gets" viruses is because it's popular? With respect sir, you're simply out of touch with reality. Time's up...
I find it amusing that you, with your moral superiority, post your reply as AC. At least KrackHouse has the balls to stand behind his claims & beliefs, and is not ashamed of it.
1. Mount giant solar cells on Satellite along with capacitors and a giant fucking laser.
2. Aim from space.
3. Fire a pulse light right over someones head and assasinate them.
4. End war on terror.
Are you nuts? Posting these kind of threats in public will get the Secret Service after you in no time flat.
Question: How do you tell one rag-head camel jocky from all the rest when viewing them from above?
Actually, nearly 300 names on the NEXT batch of petitions that are about to be presented in the House WERE collected by, not quite a child, but a 15 year old, namely, my daughter.
Sounds like a great kid. Please pass along my "Thank you" to her.
I find it odd how microsoft tries to say it's innovative when they adopt methologies that have been in wide use already for several,several years, but only implement them several, several years later.
You misspelled "decades". Twice. In the same sentence;)
Please don't ever step foot in this country again , if your not man (or woman) enough to stay when it gets tough we don't want you in 20 years when everything is bright and shiny again. (This isn't a flame)
Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck is "we"? No only can this person do as they please, they can "step foot in this country" whenever the hell they want. Now go watch some more Jerry Bruckheimer-style "entertainment", so you can learn some more "history". Ignorant asshole.

Thanks in advance for clarifying this!

have big companies always been this fucking careless, and it's only due to SOX et al. that we're learning about it now?
Yes and yes.

Fscking HYPOCRITE. TOOL.
Sure you're reading the memory usage correctly? I think you're looking at virtual memory, not actual RAM being used.
I had one window open w/3 tabs: Usage was ~42MB
Opened 7 windows totalling ~60 tabs: Usage was ~143MB (virtual is ~512MB)
My peeves w/Firefox on OS X are it's slow initial load time (no biggie as I leave it open) and focus issues after closing a tab...
Oooh look, mod him up! He stated the obvious! Brilliant! Let me try.

despite the fact that 99.99% of people will just use it to anonymously pirate things.
Please, show some information that supports this "fact". What's that? There is none? Thought so.
Heck, I'm still trying to figure out where this whole pirate thing fits in. What's that, you say? Euphamisms to furthur propaganda? Oh, I get it.
The president should have the power to do absolutely anything and anyone who disagrees is a traitor.

Slashdot editors should be more careful about the text of the articles they approve.
