  1. Re:Among other things? on Latest Revelations on the FBI's Data Mining of America · · Score: 0

    I tore the label off the underside of my couch...

  2. Re:MTV is not the REAL WORLD on The Introvert Advantage · · Score: 0

    Introverts are allergic to bullshit. Bullshit is work, sometimes hard work. Is not conforming to the crowd an indication of introversion? It takes work to subordinate yourself to the will of the group and perhaps get involved in activities that take energy, time, effort and have no other reward than the perception of social acceptance. For the most part peoples actions are self directed, that is, they are looking out for their own self interest. Most people don't wanna be involved in things in which they have no interest. As a teenager, my interest was in electronics and science. My classmates were beating each other up on the football field. My interests have led to a rewarding career. Theirs have led to aching bones in their 50's. BTW: I also spun tunes in a nightclub for 10 years, and have done freelance DJ work for 20 yrs. Lots of extrovert behavior from a closet introvert.

  3. Re:Slight wording difference on USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I miss RS-232..... Buy the adapters at WalMart. At least if they dont work you can take them back. If the box says USB 2.0 but the device actually runs at USB 1.1 specs then, WHERE ARE THE WMD'S?

  4. Re:Huh? on USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why not USB Small, USB Medium, and USB Large?, That will leave room for the future allocation of USB Personal, USB Family Size, USB Super Maxi, and USB Industrial Size? (Not to mention USB Junior and USB petite....) Whasamatta with just identifying the data rate in either bits per second or bytes per fortnite and letting it go at that?????? Regards, Ray Minich

  5. Never Happen on Do We Still Need Telcos (and ISPs)? · · Score: 1

    A parallel is socialized medicine. What is supposedly "free" ends up being rationed because there are more takers than the system is prepared to provide for.

  6. Re:Total my arse on Keeping An Eye On Total Information Awareness · · Score: 1

    Anyone remember THOR in the 70's movie Blue Thunder? Total H? Offensive Response (I cant remember what the H stood for...) Brings back futuristic memories. George Orwell was just 20 years early.....
