  1. Re:How do I slipstream this or where are good iso on Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Bittorrent is your friend. MiniNova, PirateBay, TorrentZ, etc. Since you stated you already posses a license to use such software, I have no qualms about providing you pre-integrated sources. If they aren't available today, they will be within the next week.

  2. Re:Could we get a "duh" tag? on Survey Finds Airport Wi-Fi More Important Than Food · · Score: 1

    It's kinda hard, though, to bring your own WiFi AP with you...

    Not entirely. If you have a WinMo phone with Wifi capability, you are essentially carrying a 802.11b router that you haven't yet configured. If you install WMWifiRouter 0.92 or earlier, (freeware), you can set up your phone to be an unsecured wireless router. If you want a secure network, you need to buy the latest version of WMWifiRouter. Even if you don't have WiFi capabilities on your phone, you can still use it as a internet access point via tethering with \windows\intshrui.exe.

    Just install a magical peice of equipment that came into being as soon as perminant structures came into being.

    Since you posted this wierd cassette deck for your PC, do you know how I can listen to AM and SW radio on my computer? My TV card only does FM. I like AM and SW only. Help would be appriciated. I have been looking for a solution for a couple years now.

    I don't care. I have an atomic watch that will automatically adjust. It is solar powered too, so I never have to worry about the bateries running down either. I love my watch.

    "Cable" and "Rural" do not belong in the same sentence. I am 14 miles away from the nearest town with at least 1000 people in it. How's that for rural? You and your fancy-smancy cable internet. I get 7 channels on my TV, and the fastest I can ever connect to the internet is 31.2 Kbps.

  14. Re:I'm so glad... on Bush Wants Right to ISP Customer Data · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The useless Clinton AWB in 1994 which only banned cosmetic features on firearms that had no functional purpose. Somehow an AR15 with a bayonet lug, flash hider, telescoping stock, and barrel shroud makes it more deadly than one without. That was a totally useless law used for nothing other than weakening the second amendment rights of Americans. Notice that in 2004 when it sunsetted, there was no increase in violent crime?

    I haven't had a Tetnus shot since it was requred for pre-admittance screening for enetering grade school. A tetnus shot is effective for 7 years. I am 26 years old, so my tetnus vaccination has not been valid for almost 14 years now. I don't intend to ever renew it either.

  16. OSS problems at home on Using Computer Stores to Spread Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Regardless of the benifits of OSS, I just cannot use it on my machine until the US Robotics 5610B modem works under it. It is a real modem that I paid $85.05 for, and it says on the box that kernel 2.3 and higher support it, yet Knoppix does not support it at all. Until my modem works under Linux, I will be on Windows. Or does Knoppix not auto-install modems for some reason? Does anyone even have a solution to this?

  17. US Robotics 5610B Modem Support? on Windows Nearly Ready For Desktop Use · · Score: 1

    Until Linux OSes successfully recognise and install my US Robotics 5610B modem, {which is a real modem that I paid $85.03 USD for, {and says on the box that kernel 2.3 and higher support}), I will be stuck on Windows. All I know is Knoppix does not recognize my modem, so I am assuming that my modem will not be recognised in other distributions. This is the only thing keeping me using Windows, but until this issue is resolved, I will forgo using Linux, (because without modem support, I have no internet access.) Does anyone have any reccomended solutions to this, or am I SOL?

  18. I like it on A Peek at Personalized Google · · Score: 1

    I personally like Google's personalised home pages. It has all the information I could want, (weather, Google News, BBC News, Stock Quotes, Word of the day, and Quote of the day), in a nice, neat, and clean interface. I personally hope Google makes this a feature of the main site. I actually like it much better than Yahoo!

  22. Who gives a shit? on Microsoft Abandons Gay Rights Bill · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What do I care if MS supports a bunch of faggots anyway? I could care less if they all just dropped off of the face of the earth to never return. Homosexuality goes against the very purpose of why mankind was created, (or evolved), with a penis and vagina anyhow. Given the natural course of events, if it is a "natual and genetic" occurance, the homosexual population will eventually die off anyway due to lack of procreation. If on the other hand, it is caused by environement or choice, then all of the arguments of the homosexual group will be proven invalid over a period of 20 years anyway. Genetic material cannot be recreated without procreation, but environmental circumstances can. We shall see in 20 years whom is correct. Homosexuality is in direct confilict with both the evolutionary and creationist theorys unless contaminants have been intoduced that create a non-benificial mutatation have been introduced to corrupt the DNA.

    Go ahead, mod me down. I could really give 2 shits less about whether this is PC or aggreant with the homosexual agenda anyway. Mod points have no relevance in real life anyhow, and clue to Sherlock: SLASHDOT IS NOT REAL LIFE, OR RELEVANT TO IT IN ANY MANENER!

    It is the same reason why locks are on convertable cars, to keep honest people honest. Is it a real detterent? Not even close. Is it an effective psycholigical barrier? Yes, unless you are intent on shoplifting. Now the real question is, why is there interstate highways in Hawii and Alaska? They don't conenct to anything inter-state. They should be called intrastates

  25. Tetris actually helps my job! on Too Much Gaming, Anyone? · · Score: 1

    I work as an overnight stocker at Wal-Mart 1870, and part of the essential job functions involve reorganising frieght in the bins, and managing to fit in the night's overstock in. Tetris actually enhanced my ability to "fit a round peg into a square hole", by increasing my ability to mentally re-arrange the objects in the bin mentally faster than it is actually possible to do. It is sort of like chess, I know where I am going to place an object 3 moves ahead of actual time. If you like Tetris, you will LOVE being an overnight stocker at Wal-Mart.
