  1. Re:I want a dumb TV on The Coming Tech Battle Over 'Smart TVs' · · Score: 1

    I have a Samsung Smart TV (LN46C650) and I use this android app for my remote/keyboard. Makes life much easier.

  2. Re:PayPal Is Like The Mob on PayPal Freezes Hurricane Relief Account · · Score: 1

    The tips are usually entered when the batch is sent to merchant services. The money doesn't come out of your account immediately when they run your card. The only thing that happens when they swipe your card is verification that you have enough money to cover that transaction. The debit usually happens later in the night when they close, or even the next day. I have no idea why a problem like you discribed would be unique to Paypal. After all, it is still a Visa card. Shouldn't it behave like all the other Visa cards?

  3. Re:Don't ignore the signals. on Drug Reverses Effects of Sleep Deprivation · · Score: 1

    My girlfriend took some of those "next-generation" sleep drugs for the first time when we were on vacation with some friends. She went to bed before us while we stayed up for a while. About an hour later she came upstairs talking giberish. The stuff she was staying was off the wall. She was acting extremly emotional (even for a woman). Apparently, they gave her paranoid dilusions. Just from seeing her reaction to them, the closest I'd ever come to using a sleep aid would be some booze.

  4. Re:For those who don't want to RTFA, the top 10: on Top 10 Web Fads · · Score: 1

    In Cincinnati on the radio during Rain Delays at Reds' games, they have a call in show called 'The Banana Phone' which predates the song. Apparently a banana company executive gave the radio commentators a phone shaped like a banana years ago. They now use 'Bananaphone' as the theme song, which then stays in my head indefinitely.

  5. Re:Sharp brains on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 1

    I disagree. Since Opera is a "alternative browser" and is being used mostly by people with higher tech IQs , it's safe to assume that they've already been introduced to BitTorrent. That being said, I like the idea and wonder if there's a similar plugin out there for Firefox.
