  1. Re:Almost a good idea on US School Curriculum to Include Online Safety? · · Score: 1

    While bash.org is rarely topical, right now I think it is

  2. Re:How about... on US School Curriculum to Include Online Safety? · · Score: 1

    There's a place called "Yurp"? Sounds exotic. I'll bet they all hang around topless and have lower sexual inhibitions than we puritanical 'merkins. We should bomb them.

    Sounds like you need to upgrade your 4mb PCI graphics card

    But they don't control it. And that's their problem with it.

  5. Re:DirecTV Story on Verizon vs. the Needham Fire Department · · Score: 1

    And that is why I babysit EVERY installer that comes to my place, for anything. I've found that about 1 in 3 does a decent job without me having to watch them like a hawk.

  6. Re:Blame on Verizon vs. the Needham Fire Department · · Score: 1

    Only if a homeowner does it vs. a contractor. We still have a pretty stringent electrical code. Also, realize that the US operates on 110V standard, rather than your 220V stuff. I've seen some horrible stuff done by homeowners themselves, but overall most construction isn't too terrible. It all makes sense, you just have to know the code.

  7. Re:Objection: relevance? on YouTube Begins Defense, Seeks Depositions · · Score: 1

    Have you taken your valium today? Really, you should listen to the doctor.

    The "Objection: relevance" should apply to your post. Free advertising is in no way comparable to theft, not to mention that what you actually expounded on would really BE beneficial to McDonald's. If someone was "stealing" my hamburgers and I could sell 4x as many, I'd make sure that it kept happening. Keep trying, though. I'm sure your superior IQ (as compared to Roger's) of 76 and inability to spell "hamburgler" will garner you some sympathy.

    And now, you can get a box of 400 lego's for about $25. Doesn't seem too unreasonable to me.

  9. Re:well... on Why is Microsoft Patching XP? · · Score: 1

    Just make sure you use a spell-check on the invoice before you hand it to them. It'd suck if they realized you were stupid after you "fixed" their computer.

    OO.o 1.2 was pretty slow. 2.0 is much, much better. Give it a try... all you'll waste is a little bit of time and bandwidth, and you may be pleasantly surprised :)

    It's the same on Windows... any script kiddie is vulnerable to this exploit... hope it doesn't get patched ;)

    Somewhere between 16 and 29 minutes? Just a hunch...

  15. Re:Wait... on DirectX 10 Hardware Is Now Obsolete · · Score: 1

    Support each card? That was back when VGA graphics were king. You didn't need to do a lot to support each individual card, you just wrote your own backend that blitted graphics to the frame buffer. The first true 3D toolkit was really Glide, for 3Dfx cards. And that expanded into OpenGL. DirectX came later, when they realized how popular this 3D game thing was, and wanted their piece of the action.

    Yeah, and those Swedes really have their shit together. It may be confused drivel, but socialism isn't a utopia of any sort once you factor in human nature.

    And both are circumvented by "If the customer uses the coupon presented to him on his phone, the advertiser gets a cut of the profit". That was hard.

  18. Re:So basically... on Pay-For-Visit Advertising · · Score: 1

    Which means we should all clamor for bigger government protecting us from the boogeyman, that was created from the government's asinine foreign policy decisions? It's time we just get rid of the "elite" politicians in general and start from a clean slate. We had a good thing going for about 200 years, we could do it again.

    It'll stop being funny and modded up when the industries referenced stop using mafioso-like extortionate tactics.

  24. Re:Merger? on Astronomers Witness Whopper Galaxy Collision · · Score: 1

    Can you tell a truck is bigger than a compact car? Can you get a rough idea of what would happen if two trucks hit vs. two compact cars? That's all he was implying with his analogy. We've seen observably smaller galaxies colliding, and now we see observably larger galaxies going to collide, and they're some of the largest we know of. We may not know the exact biggest, but we know of a hell of a lot that we can observe, and this will still be one of the biggest. As far as we care, it could be the biggest. We'll revise our knowledge in the event of future observations, but until then, you're just a whiner.
