  1. Re:Typical problems on Geek Eye for the Average Guy · · Score: 1

    Take the $15,000 and put it in the kids' college funds.

    You're right I'm sure the salesman husband could've found other worthy investments.

    My one and only question is, since Fortune was running this story is it fair to say this family is well off? The husband was soooo busy he only had 2 precious hours to learn about his new presents....[before jumping back in his Porche and meeting is busty blonde secretary?]

    Only speculation now...but don't leave town.

  2. Re:Do all Canadians believe this tripe? on P2P Music Sharing Remains Popular Despite RIAA · · Score: 1

    I agree.

    Dispite the fact I'm a proud Canadian, I as well believe those that smoke marijuana on a regular basis display a correlation to a stuggling lifestyle.

    With that said, the comment in the parent post about brain damage due to alcohol consumption has me a little worried...

    What if I brained my damage?

  3. Re:Sure this is impressive, on 2.4GHz Wireless Video from Model Rocket · · Score: 1

    WOW! That's a pretty amazing project! Incredible article and well documented. I wish there were more people taking risks and willing to do experiments like this.

    I guess it all just comes down to time, money, and originality.

  4. Anyone even see interview with Lamo? on Adrian Lamo Surrenders · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember a classic episode of The Screen Savers in which Mitnick and Woz were hosting the show. One part Mitnick interviews Lamo...and he asked rather simple questions like "Now I use to hacker b/c I was curious why do you do it?"

    All of Lamo's responses were rather "crackhead" like...I'm not trying to knock the guy, but it didn't really seem he had an answer for why he hacks...not because he's curious or because he's trying to help companies...he just kept saying that he considered himself "at the right place at the right time".

    It's possible he was just camera shy.

    Dang!!! You're gonna have to obviously post an article once your done it with some pics.

    hmmm...i think you've just given me an idea for a cool computer mod....hmmm now if I can only power up this backpack mp3 player.

  7. Re:Wow. on RIAA Settles With 12-Year-Old Downloader · · Score: 1

    I hear you...I don't normally buy CDs and now I see no reason to.

    RIAA wants to play hardball, fine...a new personal goal will be to download another 2000 songs...
    what you sued another child...fine, another 2000 songs...
    sue another music lover...opps you lost revenue for another 2000 songs...
    and on and on we go...copyright warfare is sort of futile isn't it?

  8. Re:VS sucks on Java vs .NET · · Score: 1

    Ahhh he thinks a Ford Focus is a good car....now I know his eyes ought be brown cuz he's so full of shit.
