  1. Re:Radio still works on Sorting Through the Analog to Digital TV Mess · · Score: 0

    Oooops, I missed this part of the article:

    "Roughly 20 million of those soon-to-be-obsolete sets are in homes where people don't subscribe to cable or satellite."

    I'm still anti-voucher though...

  2. Radio still works on Sorting Through the Analog to Digital TV Mess · · Score: 0

    I would think anyone that can't afford a TV can still get "essential" information from a radio until they can afford one. Vouchers should be for education, not TV's. These "poor" folks that would receive vouchers are probably finding a way to pay for cable right now.

  3. Re:My favorites on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 0

    Definitely Tinker Toys. Other favorites were Lincoln Logs & Erector Sets. The old Mousetrap game was pretty cool for learning a bizarre assortment of mechanicals...

  4. Re:Same players...New game... on Swedes Dominate Counter-Strike Championship · · Score: 0

    Actually IKEA is not "COOL" in America. The furniture is pretty much garbage, but all of the early to mid twenties folks shop there because its inexpensive. And isn't Walmart...

    Here's an example:

  6. Bush on Scientists Challenge U.S. on Scientific Distortions · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    GW Bush is a corporate whore and his policies will always reflect that. Screw eveything around him and twist the truth to benefit his and his good ol' boy buddy's wallets every time no matter what the consequences.

  7. Re:for sale... on What The Internet Isn't · · Score: 0

    We used to always say, "the problem is in between the keyboard and the chair".

    Also, my favorite OS version response was "Windows '97". I guess folks just seem to think that Office & Windows are the same. What really gets me is that folks can spend anywhere from $500 to a couple thousand on a computer, but can't spend another 50 bucks for a couple of those "intro to computing" classes at their local library or high school. Or maybe even click "Help" once in a while? Everytime I've worked on someone's system if you click Windows Help, it'll give you the "Compacting Database for first time use" or whatever the message is. The person had the computer for a year and never clicked help when they had a question?!?

  8. Re:Swipe Card on Biometrics in the Workplace · · Score: 0

    If you lose your hand, the other one is a mirror of the lost one only opposite. If you lose both hands, you still have feet to scan. To identify cows, they use nose prints. Also, I'm sure that if you lost a hand, you would be on disability and no longer need to report for work.

  9. Re:Doh! on Copyright Office Rules Against Lexmark · · Score: 0

    Maybe not...the printer manufacturers can always pull a, "use our cartridges or void your warranty" scheme...

  10. Re:those who don't dream eventually go crazy... on Top 10 Reasons for a Space Program · · Score: 0

    Well then, I guess the people that can't fill their time here on Earth imagining things to do should pay for the space exploration. Until a method for traveling at light speed is in place, there is basically no reason to be in space except to launch new satellites or observation stations. All of the other planets in our system are uninhabitable without massive base construction. So why go there? To mine a few minerals? C'mon. Solve the problems on this planet before creating more on others...

  11. Re:Ha ha on Diamonds & the RIAA · · Score: 0

    Kneel down in front of me, pull down my pants, and eat me.

    Jealous of a fool? No. Cubicle dweller? Nope, have my own office thats probably bigger then your studio apt. Moron? If a 160 IQ can be had by a moron, then I guess I am. I broke my finger today, thats why I've got the free time. No self hatred here. Can't work with a broken finger.

    Anonymous douche troll.

  12. Ha ha on Diamonds & the RIAA · · Score: 1, Funny

    Some sucka I work with just dropped 25 large on a diamond for his woman. I'll have to forward the diamond story and see if I can hear his weeping through the office wall. heh

    I was unaware that Linux (the kernel) provided FTP services...

  14. nice on Geocaching Crackdown? · · Score: 1

    I like this quote:

    "They worry that hundreds of people tramping through their woods will damage plants and habitat."

    I wasn't aware that if I work for a park commission, that means I own the park too...

  16. Re:Its excellent news..... on War Driving To Be Protected In NH · · Score: 1

    Yes, I must be 12 if I think folks that are too stupid to secure their network should expect to have bandwidth leeches. Actually, I'm 33, and most likely have many times more experience regarding security then you. So blow me.

  17. Re:Its excellent news..... on War Driving To Be Protected In NH · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, if they are stupid enough not to secure their network.

    Don't forget good old Juniper. They sell routers comparable or equal to Cisco, for much lower prices...
