    Your wording implies that she got sex and drugs without you.

  3. Re:So much for... on Legal Threat Demands Techdirt Shut Down · · Score: 1

    When you think about it, the distinction doesn't really make much sense; paying for sex is illegal... unless you film it with the intent to sell the video, in which case it's fine.

    Or nation wide it is ok to pay for it with dinner and wine or a wedding ring.

    Someone would steal a VCR?

    Yes, the employees in enterprises are adopting the Mac OS.

    That's very different from what IT keeps in the closet.

  6. Re:Not ready as a gaming platform on Steam Not Coming To Linux · · Score: 4, Insightful

    To begin with 99% of commercial games don't even have a Linux version, so there's nothing to sell to Linux gamers.

    The same could be said of Macs. Part of what made Steam viable on the Mac was Valve porting a number of their games over to the Mac. And they could do it again for Linux if they wanted to...

    Most Mac owners actually BUY software.

    Everything on my LAN is IPv6 ready. I just need Comcast to send me the damn modem already.

    As someone who got a notification from Comcast in the spring that I was on the beta test list, I'll believe it when I see it...

    According to their IPv6 forums, some people have gotten the supported hardware, but most of us have heard nothing so far.

    So shouldn't he be complimented for daring to Think Different?

    Actually, it's not that different in Silicon Valley. There's an exec from Fry's Electronics going to jail for doing something similar and blowing it all in Vegas.

  10. Re:highest ethical standards on Apple Manager Arrested In Kickback Scheme · · Score: 1

    I have a problem with unions requiring a certain minimum salary, paid vacations, and other amenities that only serve to cost the employers money without increasing productivity.

    I guess you didn't hear about the teachers' union demanding medical coverage for viagra.

  11. Re:Majic Jack Quality? on MagicJack Moving To Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Yes- when my parents call me with their MagicJack to my landline, usually after a while (few minutes, maybe a half hour....

    Half hour? You're a teenage girl?

  12. Re:HOW much of a golden parachute? on HP Board Sued Over Hurd Departure · · Score: 1

    Woz qualifies as a really rich fuck who reads (and comments on) Slashdot. Although I'm not sure I think he's a fuck.

    You'll have to ask Kathy Griffin about that.

  13. Re:They just need to treat it like it's a privileg on Some LA Coffee Shops Are Taking Wi-Fi Off the Menu · · Score: 1

    This was before a group of scrap-bookers decided that Starbucks was their personal workshop. They take up almost the entire store and parking lot, bring in all their equipment, and (from what I've seen) buy only a few drinks between the group.

    Even though the Starbucks/ATT wifi access times out after 2 hours?

    There are a lot of really smart people at AOL down in the trenches

    Smart people wouldn't choose to work at AOL.

    Also remember to secure their computer real good because AOL has been doing the babysitting for them and they will be in the wild wild intertubes!

    Just get them on an iPad. Lose the computer and the dialup.

    In-N-Out Burger is what McDonalds was originally. A simple burger joint that excelled at their small menu.

    here in northern California, you will often see the street backed up with cars waiting to get to the drive through. Very popular.

    I thought that was the whole point of the Magna Carta and the American Revolution.

    The American Revolution was about rich land owners wanting to skip out on paying taxes.

  25. Re:FTC on FTC Introduces New Orders For Intel; No Bundling · · Score: 1

    T-Mobile, OTOH, doesn't even have voice coverage for much of the Finger Lakes & Southern Tier.

    And in my experience, I can make voice and data connections on T-Mobile when my friends can't even receive a call with ATT.

    Not to mention the non existent ATT 3G in urban areas were "data" means 30kbs.

    ATT coverage is good for you in the locations you travel. That's good for you. Just don't make blanket statements that it is good everywhere and better than T-Mobile.

    Coverage is variable on all carriers.
