  1. why sare? on Folders vs. Tags For Shared Email Accounts? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why don't you just send a copy of every email sent to that address to each of the 10 members individuals addresses, and let each of them sort it anyway they want.

  2. Well if you going share C:\ expect bad things. on Indictment Highlights File-Sharing Risks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    (n/t) DUH.

  3. Re:Why not $200 store credit? on Apple Gives $100 Store Credit To iPhone Customers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They didn't "lose" anything. That is just the price you pay for having it a few months before people are willing to wait. If your stupid enough to waste $600 or so on a phone, it your own fault.

  4. GPL Comment on Linus on Subversion, GPL3, Microsoft and More · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hereby release this comment under a GPL. You are free to use this comment or modify this comment in away you feel fit. But if you distribute this comment or any modifications of it, you need to also publish all the embarrassing things you have said said drunk.

  5. Re:Kind of a related question on The Study of Physical Hacks at DefCon · · Score: 1

    I don't know. But a couple days ago I set off my car alarm on my convertible by trying to unlock the door from the outside. Which is kinda silly, seeing the top was down, and I could just jump into the driver seat NASCAR style.

    (I don't normally lock it if I leave the top down)

  6. Re:Should have been the plan from the beginning on Cisco to Kill Linksys Brand Name · · Score: 4, Funny

    A finger plus $100? That is a little pricey. How about 2 fingers and $25?

  7. Re:So what happens now on Cisco to Kill Linksys Brand Name · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The consumer stuff stays crappy but you pay 20% more for the cooler enterprise-level brand name.

  10. Is it just me, or on Google Pledging to Bid $4.6bn to Open Spectrum · · Score: 2, Funny

  11. Re:The world's going to end over a 4.9% tax? on European Commission To Raise Camera Costs in Europe · · Score: 1

    It not keeping *ANYONE* in business, except the government. The summary says there are no cameras made in the EU, so the tax is applied to ALL cameras. If you are in the EU you have no choice to pay the tariff if you want a camera. AT BEST, this only encourages a non-currently-existent European manufacture to make cameras in the EU since they will end up with a 4.9% cost advantage. Which of course that cost advantage disappears fast when you factor in Europe's high cost of labor and other taxes.

  12. Re:Go crazy? on European Commission To Raise Camera Costs in Europe · · Score: 1

    I recently bought a camera for around $200 that is able to do that. So if you spending more than $200 you are probably going have that feature.

    That $25 could have been spent on a decent memory card.
    Or 1/2 a tank of gas.
    or season 3 of Futurama on DVD.

    $25 may not sound much. But it still less money than I would have had otherwise.

  14. So why camcorders... on European Commission To Raise Camera Costs in Europe · · Score: 2

    So why camcorders... and not all the other millions of goods that come from china/elsewhere in general.

  16. You could always buy a PC on Turns Out Ubuntu Dell Costs $225 More · · Score: 1

    from New Egg or Tiger Direct instead, and install whatever damn OS you want on it.

  17. But I am scared of change. on Instrumented GIMP To Identify Usability Flaws · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't remember ever having a problem figuring out GIMP. But it would drive me insane if they start changing things around on me.
