    knows what a geek is, I would expect Kari Byron to at least beat out Lisa Simpson,Paris Hilton, or Daryl Hannah. Hell, Kari can replace all 3 if you ask me. WTF's going on here!

  12. why not buy the diodes somewhere else? on Blu-ray Laser Gadget · · Score: 0

    I mean why take the laser diodes used in Blu-ray disk drives out? Why not just get them from the same place Blu-ray gets theirs? Wouldn't that be a bit cheaper?

    As long as you don't over fish Leave some for the rest of us.

  14. Re:i was was once a fisherman on Oceans Empty By 2048? · · Score: 0

    I remember one time when we had a dolphin on our line her/him loose. that showed me intelligence right then and there. i meant to say we had a dolphin on our line but until he/she was loose...etc

  15. i was was once a fisherman on Oceans Empty By 2048? · · Score: 0
    As a former longliner fisherman, i would say the only thing that is hurting us is the nets. When i was a fisherman...using hooks mind you...when a trawler came by, we caught nothing! meaning they took all. With longlining, yes a few sharks get killed and a few other innocents, but not to the degree trawlers take.

    I remember one time when we had a dolphin on our line her/him loose. that showed me intelligence right then and there.

    Whenever a net boat was close, we never caught anything. Nets should be illegal, even though Jesus used a net, it isnt in the same scope, he was in a row boat as compared to a fully mechanized boat using hydraulics and such. longliners catch fish yes, but it is much more civil. If u want to fight it, then stop eating Tuna! there are practical methods for fishing, and impractical...nets have no need to be here with our technology. they are old school ruining our world in the new day.

  16. dont explain to them, just set it up for them on A Security Guide For Non-Technical Users? · · Score: 0
    Well, as far as the logging off thing, even though it isnt so important, I did have a teacher that would deduct a point off our grade if we left our workstation and didnt log off. That was meant more for being in a public place like work though, and there can be malicious people where u work, i speak from experience on this.

    But I would set them as limited users and just install an av program...avast is free for home users, and run the usual scans for spyware, spybot, lavasoft adaware, ewido, even trendmicro does a free online scan for spyware and viruses.

    I had some friends that bought a used pc, i got it set up for them, and within two weeks i had to reinstall it(they were click happy). Two weaks later, again...and then even again after that. At that time, i was tired of doing it for them, so I told them, they will have limited rights this time, and I wont tell them the admin password, and if it happens again they are getting linux or FreeBSD.lol But since I gave them limits rights, they have never had another problem since.

    I installed everything they would want at first, but basically if they click on smiley central, they arent aloud to install it. That set up has saved me a lot of time and headaches.

  19. how intelligent? on What Earth Without People Would Look Like · · Score: 0

    If in 100,000 years after we are gone, an intelligent being came and could find no trace of our existence....I would ask how intelligent are they? sure they flew from one planet to another, so I would expect that they have some sort of archaeological savvy, enough to find traces of us at least.

  20. yeah, thats the ticket on Power Suit Promises Super-Human Strength · · Score: 0

    It's not for world domination.....it's uh, for moving heavy patients, yeah thats the ticket.

  22. Why not offer a choice? on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 0

    I can understand the uses for it in some professions, and also realise some people just have no use for it. Why not offer the people a choice. Those who want Cap Locks can have it, those who don't would simply buy a keyboard without it.

  24. I canceled on AOL Tries New Tactic to Keep Customers · · Score: 0

    I once canceled the free trial for aol, and when asked why, I said it didnt seem to like mozilla so much, but mainly b/c im switching to linux....In the reps favor, he was actually interested in open scource and once i got him to cancel my account since the software wont run on linux, we spoke a bit and I answered his questions about open scourse software. I actually spoke longer to him about open scource than he did about the cancelation...kind of funny when you think about it.

  25. Re:Pre-2K ? on Firefox to Drop Pre-Windows 2000 Support · · Score: -1, Troll

    Win ME is more of a crash test dummy, i prefer CP/M or DOS to ME anyday.
