  1. XP?? on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1

    I'm guess'in this will leave XP open to attack (in some ways) as well???

  2. Two different results for us on Neural Feedback Training as Therapy for ADHD? · · Score: 2, Informative

    My son is also ADHD and we had him try bio feedback for a year. He is attention deficit and not hyperactive. We stopped the bio feedback because after a year we had seen absolutely no change. However, our best friends son is also ADHD, and also not hyperactive, and he has been using bio feedback for about a year and a half with some good results. My suspicion is that the difference may be mostly how hard the person tries at it. The rub here is, of course, that staying focused and "on task" is exactly what ADHD kids have a problem with. We did get results by switching him to Adderall XR. If you haven't, you may want to try out a few different medicines with your kid and see which ones she responds to. It's worth a try. The down side of trying is that she may not be treated for a week or two, if one meds fails, and the up side is that you find a medicine that works much better. Keep her on the bio feedback, it can't harm and it may do some good. Give her every chance there is! Don't forget to take care of your self too. I used to think I was a patient person until I had an ADHD kid. Now I know that I'll never have enough. Best of luck to you!!!

  3. Way to Go Brits!! on Fingers Crossed for Beagle · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's about time you guys jumped in to the fray. Good Luck!!

  4. Correction on Embedded Device Manufacturers Ignoring GPL · · Score: 1

    Maybe they've all bought licenses from SCO and therefore don't have to comply with the GPL? Correction, they may think they don't have to.

  5. ASUS on Phoenix Sounds Death Knell for BIOS · · Score: 2, Informative

    The website for Asus say that their latest boards have AMI BIOSs on them.

  6. Pay-Per-View Opportunity on Disgruntled Fan Arrested, Indicted For Spam Attacks · · Score: 1

    Maximum penalties: 471 years in federal prison, $117 million in fines OR, They could flog the guy on cable TV. I'd pay to see that!!!

  7. Run for cover on Microsoft Dislikes Nations Trying to Escape Lock-in · · Score: 2, Funny

    Opps!! You broke ranks and spoke the truth. You are not helping the "leaders" to become even more powerful. You must be denounced as a heretic...maybe even a terrorists. Yeah, that's it! You're weakening our country with your truth, which makes you a terrorist.

  8. Re:This makes no sense on RIAA Sales Compared to Download Statistics · · Score: 1

    I don't think the analogy is false. I think you may not have seen what he is really arguing. The point, I think, is that he is not replacing 1:1 music for music but rather he is replacing the entertainment *dollar* and the entertainment *time* with something else. As has been mentioned here and elsewhere before, RIAA is not only having to deal with poor quality music, downloads and a poor economy, they also have to compete for the entertainment dollar which is increasingly being spent on other things like games, DVDs etc. The argument really is not so much how YOU use music but rather where the dollars you spend go.

  9. Great. Just what I need on Smart Cellphone Would Spend Your Money · · Score: 1

    Next they'll come out with a credit card that just starts buying crap for me. Just like my wife does now :)

  10. Hell No! on Could E-Voting Cure Voter Apathy? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why would we want someone who is apathetic making major decisions? I don't want to see a cure for the lack of voting, I want to see a cure for apathy.

  11. Re:So I wondered.. on Analysis of Netflix's DVD Allocation System · · Score: 0

    I've noticed the same thing. It takes an average of 3 days for a movie to be mailed to me and an average of 5 days to be mailed back. Any other mail going to the Denver area takes 3 days.

  12. This won't stop a ting on Penny Black Project Investigates Sender-Pays E-mail · · Score: 1

    Paying for postage never stoped or even slowed down the senders of junk mail. Paying for email won't slow down spamers. It's just too lucrative!

  13. Holy Bat Bear on Priest Brews in Washing Machine · · Score: 1

    I wonder what this guy could do with a Whirlpool and Pentium 4. It's kind of scary what can happen when you have too much time on your hands.
