  1. Re:I love these titles! on Solaris 9 For Dummies · · Score: 1

    Actually there are a few books along those lines. There are numerous groups that place retired racing greyhounds into homes (rather than let them be destroyed). Since greyhounds are raised at a track, even simple things like windows and stairs (which they have often never seen) can be quite problematic. I got a retired grey last year and he has been quite interesting to say the least.

    Don't have any pets do you? Is it right to torture animals for no purpose? If not, then maybe there is a basis, if not......

  4. Re:FAA Regulations for Balloons. on $50 Aerial Digital Photography from a Balloon · · Score: 1

    but wouldn't the "free" part of unmanned free balloon mean not attached to the person on the ground with string like this one is?

  5. Re:iPod output through your speakers on In-Dash DIN-form-factor Car PC · · Score: 1

    I thought so too until I bought one. Unfortunately in my area there are some low power radio stations on each of the 4 station settings on the device. Reception is not the greatest. Does anyone know if they sell a device that is hard wired into the antenna line to give better reception?

  6. Re:This should be fun.... on Cable Boxes With DVD, MP3, Networking · · Score: 1

    Okay, well all I originally said was that just because Charter reduced upload speeds does not mean that their bandwidth is "maxed out". If 128K upload does not meet your needs, I cannot help that. They offer an option. If you do not want to pay for that option, contact them. Tell them you are not happy and are considering alternatives. Plus, I said 128K should be enough for a regular user, you admit you are not regular, so why take issue with my statement?

    Just because they are reducing upload speeds does not mean they are maxed out. They are just trying to make better use existing bandwidth and cut down on people using excessive bandwidth running servers from their personal accounts. If you want more outgoing bandwidth, buy a business account. For the average user, 128k is plenty of upload speed.

  8. Re:Do younger minds absorb quicker? on Ageism in IT? · · Score: 1

    Maybe if you still had tests on the Periodic Table and needed to use it on a regular basis (for a class) it would be easier. Just because a certain thing does not stay in your memory for 20 years does not mean that you do not learn as fast, the space was not being used so more important things are there now. ;)
