  1. Some donations without strings on Big Company on Campus · · Score: 1

    The dealer says 'the first hit is free'.
    Windows - OK but keep the C-pound out.
    Do not use powerpoint and claim that the community can access your content.

  2. Re:Also means realistic changes required on UK to Put Monitors in Every Car? · · Score: 1

    If nobody sped, some roads would be gridlocked. The DC beltway at 8am requires most to speed. If 100 spaced out drivers drove below the speed limit, it would make all the congressmen late for work.

  3. Try Star Office on How Objective Is Microsoft's Search? · · Score: 1

    MSN returns furniture retailers.

  4. Not a court conviction on Using Spyware to Report Pirates? · · Score: 1

    When this calls home, it does not mean a court conviction. It means the BSA storm troopers have a target. So, even if you own the software that phoned home, ALL of your assets will have to pass BSA muster.
    The other part, Does Cliff work for the BSA. A little FUD can get the paranoid to pay up for more software. So Cliff, NAME NAMES! Without names, this is just BS and FUD.

  5. Under the radar on Gov't Proposes Massive Homeless Tracking System · · Score: 1

    I thought most homeless were trying to live under the radar. Have no one to answer to and no one to bother them. Make no money, pay no taxes.

  6. Re:I like this idea. on Webcams Watching The Classrooms? · · Score: 1

    You never learned how to cheap shot an asshole? That super jock quarter back, really values his knees. Whack one of them, he and his friends leave you alone.
    Whine to the teacher, he catches you off camera.

    If it weren't for bad karma I'd have no karma at all

  7. NAMBLA wants that IP address on Webcams Watching The Classrooms? · · Score: 1

    The science teacher has a web cam with no password on it. Anyone can be watching the children ALL day. If someone parked across the street with a telescope, would that be OK too? If school principals can't do the job, GET OUT. I have had some of the best learing experiences when teachers do things that a 10 second clip of would look VERY BAD. When teachers are not AFRAID they can do great things. When administrators suck, the whole system fails and web cams won't fix it.

  8. Private company vs police on Phone or Tracking Device? · · Score: 1

    This company is offering a service that the police had to get a warrant for. The phone company can do it, when a warrant is issued. With this service, anyone can track phones they pay for. Or any phone they can convince the service provider that they are allowed to track. Being an order taker for this service and having no scruples could pay really well. Who has a hot babe you want to track?

  9. Is this open source on Florida's Version Of TIA May Spread To Other States · · Score: 1

    I would bet that this is NOT open source. Asher has a shady past.
    Could this program, just happen to miss HIS shady past whenever it is used?
    Some of those sources required a court order to look at, now it just requires a horny cop.

  10. weight loss machine on Powered by Blood · · Score: 1

    Just hook it up and eat all the ice cream you want. It will filter out the glucose! Copyright and patent this at your peril. Steve Guenther Tampa, FL

  11. Effects of multiverse on Find Out About the Future of Science · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If we are in one universe of many in the multiverse, what would the effects of another universe colliding with ours? Could the unseen others be causing the excelleration of the expansion that is now being seen?

  12. Re:Regulation on Lobbyist Morgan Reed Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    In the long run, too much regulation favors large companies, not smaller ones.
    In american courts, the group with the most lawyers wins. Small companies rarely have the most lawyers. Adding rules makes it harder on those with limited resources. That is an argument for the Flat Tax.

  13. My 4 yr old on Cringely Tries Snapster 2.0 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If my 4 yr old wants to play the same song 50 times everyday for 2 weeks (week days only). Is that 500 plays at .05 per play = $25? That is the model the record companies want to have. Embed wireless DRM in everything, you have access to every song ever written for .05 each. Every time you play it.

  14. Court order on ABIT's Secure IDE Motherboard · · Score: 1

    If you loose the key, the maker can send you a new one. If the court orders them, they will give the police/whoever a new key. This only protects against the computer being stolen and not the key.

  15. Need for Real Education on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    Our school system, that holds kids until they are ripe and then spits them out with feel good diplomas is creating this group of unemployables. We need to have a population that can read, write and think. That is where our future needs to be. Not a bunch of left wing, government provided housing. You don't work, you starve. You will find a way to work. Also he missed, people can stop criminals. In his whitebread neighborhood you can have automated checkout. Try that in the 'hood.

  16. Re:I once tried something similar on Russian Minister Gets Spammed, Spams Back · · Score: 1

    That is why they invented free long distance via the internet.

  17. Re:Spam must contain a real contact method on Russian Minister Gets Spammed, Spams Back · · Score: 1

    Yes, set up a screen saver to DDOS the spammer's clients. When thier web servers and phones crash, they will stop paying for spam.

  18. Re:If you're really a geek.. on A Geek's Tour Of North America? · · Score: 1

    Come to Tampa, Best strip clubs Best LAP DANCES.

  19. Follow the money on The Growing Field Guide To Spam Techniques · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Someone is paying the spammers to spam. They usually have a URL in the email. Set up a screen saver to DDOS the payer. FOLLOW THE MONEY, make it bad to buy spam.

  20. Better info than buythis.com info on Amazon Plan Would Allow Text Search Of Books · · Score: 0

    Most real searches for info just lead to sites that are trying to sell whatever. Real research is inside the books. This may help to find information not just sales pitches.

  21. Freaks just an excuse on Police Target Free Email · · Score: 0

    Cracking down on freaks is just the excuse for watching EVERYONE. Making the cops jobs easier and making the next revolution harder. Pedophillia is what a person is. If they cannot control these urges they should be purged from society. (lots of rope and a low fire) DONE! Not slapped on the wrist and sent back out. We cannot cure these predators.

  22. Why bother with the spammers on When Good Spammers Go Bad · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That is like going after gun/car makers.
    It is the clients that should be put out of business. You hire a spammer, the world hates you. If no one pays the spammer stops spamming. /. the clients, and don't buy any products.

  23. Re:For non-Americans - what is a felony ? on House Bill to Make File-Sharing an Automatic Felony · · Score: 0

    You must be a subject of some crown, not a citizen of a republic.

  24. Education is the solution on The IT Market: Cyclical Downturn or New World Order? · · Score: 0

    We have to have our education system reformed. It is now passing kids so they 'feel good about themselves'. They need to learn to compete in the world market. It is very tough out here. Some teacher suggested mandatory military service because 'they could force them to learn'. I say we make the school system part of the military. It is what will help us win or lose the next economic war. Or do you think we should just join the Kymer Rouge?

  25. Re:Ashcroft not completely the bad guy here. on Funding for TIA All But Dead · · Score: 0

    Suicide by violent business executive.
    Yea that guy who had is nail clippers taken away.
    I say give everyone access to a bowie knife, then hijacking a plane is suicide. Oh and feed thier testicles to dogs.
