  1. Re:Consumerism at it's worst... on Panther Released into the Wild · · Score: 1

    hey moron, penultimate means "second to last" not "second most ultimate".

  2. NOT TRUE on Senate Approves Measure to Undo FCC Rules · · Score: 2, Insightful
    It happens every 10 years, specifically when there is new census data (the only time it really makes sense to redistrict). It is always contentious and usually resolved by the courts. This redistricting is not normal, is contrary to convention, and is simply a power grab by Tom DeLay.

    Read this salon article for more information.

  3. Re:Compulsory jail joke on Talk About A Security Hole, Go To Jail? · · Score: 1

    knock off the patronizing bullshit. there is a difference between laughing at something and condoning it.

    when "the dude" gets a coffee mug thrown at him by a cop in "the big lebowski" it's funny. does that somehow condone police brutality? of course not.

  4. Re:Government-controlled media on Low-power FM Transmitters Banned in UK · · Score: 1

    HBO has promotions for its other shows, but not traditionaal advertisements. Also, it shows the promos between movies, not during them.

    fees depend on the cable provider, but most won't let you get only HBO (i.e. you have to get regular tv plus hbo) so you have to pay for the regular stations, which aren't much. sattelite providers may let you buy only the channels you want, I don't know.

    well, lets not be misleading. you mean 116 pounds, don't you? which is about $185.

    also, the HBO price that the previous poster mentions gives you 7 channels for that price (just follow his link).

    I'm not saying the bbc sucks. the bbc is cool, but it's not like high-quality for-pay television programming doesn't exist outside the UK.

  6. Re:YES WE CALL THIS CABLE IN USA on Low-power FM Transmitters Banned in UK · · Score: 1

    I think what I was saying was that the quality of american cable and the quality of bbc programming are comparable, as are their prices.

  7. Re:YES WE CALL THIS CABLE IN USA on Low-power FM Transmitters Banned in UK · · Score: 2, Insightful

    yes, it is pointless and I like the bbc too. bbc is for pay and is high quality, just as american cable networks are for pay and are high quality. same phenomenon, just one is public sector and the other private sector.

    when I say commercial free, I am referring to HBO and all the other stations without commercials. they run spots to promote their other shows (but never interrupt movies to show them) but I imagine the BBC does the same.

  9. YES WE CALL THIS CABLE IN USA on Low-power FM Transmitters Banned in UK · · Score: 1

    you get 2 commercial free and 4 commercial stations for 190 (pounds? dollars?) a year and we get ~30 commercial free and ~100 commercial for $300-$400 a year.

  12. WRONG on iTunes Indie Meeting Notes · · Score: 1

    This clearly isn't true for the big labels. Some "hits" can only be bought if you take the whole album -- they won't sell Don MacLean's "American Pie" for $0.99

    Sorry, no, Don McLean's American Pie is 8 minutes 35 seconds, and as such is not an exception to the rule they are giving the indies.

    Some albums also stick to the $0.99-per rule past the $9.95-per-original-disk rule

    that is acceptable according to the rules apple is giving the indies, too. from the article:

    Full albums are recommended to be $9.99 or lower

  13. maybe I am missing something... on Computing's Lost Allure · · Score: 1

    I've never heard of this before. what is wrong with code like this:

    for(int i=0; i<arraysize; i++){
    element e = array[i];
    if (found what I'm looking for){
    //process e;
    break;
    }
    }

    why should I manually set up the looping conditions? I think this is a whole lot easier to read.

  15. DOES ANYONE READ THE ARTICLE ANYMORE? SHEESH! on Real-time PC access on your PDA · · Score: 1

    Hi,

    this is different than RDP/VNC type products. If you read the article you will see that this thing is special because it somehow groks the hosts' GUI and displays it on the PDA client in its NATIVE WIDGET SET. this means you don't have to deal with the nightmare of using a 1600x1200 display from a 320x240 device.

    love,
