  1. Re:One step at a time on Network TV Downloadable Via iTunes · · Score: 1

    Ever been to a 99 cent store? All kinds of random stuff for the same price.

  2. Re:128x128 on Network TV Downloadable Via iTunes · · Score: 1

    What is your time worth to you? Having about 15 minutes of commercial cut out of an hour long episode may be worth it to some people.

  3. Re:Hey Mr. Comedian - enough with BSOD on Windows Vista To Come In 7 Flavors · · Score: 1

    When was the last time you had a kernel panic?

  4. Babysitters on How Can Tech Help Fight Education Costs? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget people use school as a babysitter. In poor neighborhoods, students would be left to their own devices; while they're supposedly at school with their parent(s) at work. That idea alone terrifies me.

  5. Re:define irony on Fired AOL Engineer gets 15 Months · · Score: 1

    If you want to be technical it is you who has to pay for garbage collection unless you live in an apartment, either way the cost is passed on to you.

  6. Re:define irony on Fired AOL Engineer gets 15 Months · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The snail mail version of spam is what essentially finances the USPS, without it your typical letter would cost much more to send.

  7. Schematics on How Long Do You Want Digital Media To Last? · · Score: 1

    Why don't we just store schematics of what ever medium being used to access the media on paper? That way if it doesn't exist anymore we can just build another.

  8. Re:Useless... on Web Design Hampers Mobile Internet? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So your frontpage is nearly 300k? Damn.

  9. Re:A losing battle? on Blizzard Drops the Hammer on Gold Farmers · · Score: 1

    See you're talking about ethics. Ethics is what humanity in general considers wrong, for example murder. Now the catch is what is considered murder. Morals are what the society/culture you live in considers right and wrong.

  10. Re:Wow .. what a coincidence.... on Building a Linux Computer Lab for Schools? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Beggars can't be choosers. You can't dictate what is donated to you.

  11. Re:A new job on Firefox Lead Now Working For Google · · Score: 1

    Eh, If mozilla was some closed source deal, I would think its more sinister but you act like he will always be the lead and that someone couldn't supplant if he started "acting" up

  12. A new job on Firefox Lead Now Working For Google · · Score: 1

    Why can't a guy get a job in the tech sector even though he's working on an oss project and everyone not get on the companies back for hiring him?

  13. Re:Any major retailer? on Creative Gunning For the iPod · · Score: 1

    What about the idea that customs will seize any bootleg merchandise that is in a large enough amount for them to notice it?

  14. Re:Queue the Transactions on Redundant Credit Card Processing Solution? · · Score: 1

    It's not illegal to charge before the item is shipped. Once charged it becomes a binding agreement. The reason companies do this is incase of some type of pricing error like with amazon when they were selling pda's for 30ish dollars, if they had charged soon as the order went through, amazon would've lost a nice chunk of change

  15. Re:Security Diversion on Google Desktop Search Under Fire · · Score: 1

    But if you're under an administrator account, which most people are. You're free to read whatever you want on the system

  16. Re:Im glad for one on Hotmail Begins to Upgrade Free Accounts · · Score: 1

    Seriously doing anything with hotmail is just a hassle these days.

  17. Re:Ally or Enemy? on Is Sun Turning against Linux and Red Hat? · · Score: 1

    Hey now they support Linux, just their distribution

  18. Flash Cartridges on GBA Movie Player Plays NES Games From CF Card · · Score: 1

    Anyone have any good places where I can buy a flash cart for GBA? All the places that I see that sell them seem just a tad shady

  19. Re:Ohhh on Cellphones Usable on Airplanes in 2006? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about the exploding nokia batteries?

  20. Re:bans on Cellphones Usable on Airplanes in 2006? · · Score: 1

    I had heard cell phones interferred with older airliners fly by wire because of the wiring

  21. Re:Probably a stupid question, but.... on Linux Secure Enough For The Army · · Score: 1

    If you distribute within an organization (military) you don't have to release the source.

  22. Re:ME Benifits on Philadelphia Considers Free Citywide Wireless Access · · Score: 1

    Don't forget additional employee cost add about 75% onto your salary and thats how much you really cost the company

  23. Tenth amendment on Big Brother In Your Front Seat · · Score: 1

    The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Guess what? The right to drive is granted to you by your state, not the federal government.

  24. Re:FYI: The SP2 RC2 problems are spyware related on Microsoft has Delayed SP2, Again · · Score: 1

    Reason why these dll's and various services can be royally corroypted is because damn near everyone runs in administrator. I'd like to see how long a linux install would last if you had an inept user logged in as root downloading random things they have no clue what it does.

  25. Elementary School on Is Typing a Necessary Skill? · · Score: 1

    In fourth grade we were required to take a keyboarding class every monday and wednesday, this was in 92. I think it was a good thing I can type today at 125wpm with 97% accuracy.
