  1. SIGHT on Contact Lenses for Computer Professionals? · · Score: 1

    I use the 30 day disposables, night and day. I forget who makes them, but they are one of the newer more breathable lenses. Been using them for good 3 months now,and no problems. Used to use the acuvue 2 weeks ones and my eyes would dry out daily.

  2. Re:Don't Take Any Payment on The Impact of Technophobes · · Score: 1

    i took payments just to try to do the opposite, well needless to say i now have 4 inlaws that whenever there's a problem, they send a minimum of 60 bucks..... i'm starting to feel guilty bout charging them so much... esp for stuff like how to empty the recycle bin. So either way its no win. seriously thinking bout getting them leappads or something for kids and telling them that it has hidden features and untill they find them i'm not allowed to help them anymore per the purchase agreement.

  11. Re:a dream on How to Fake A Hard Day at the Office · · Score: 1

    Windows 2000 and XP users find BSOD jokes stale. It's the Linux equivalent of jokes about over-reliance on the CLI. "Tee hee, if Linux were a car, you'd have to have to use the keyboard just to start it." "Hehe yeah! And if the car fails to start, it's probably because the caps lock is on! Snicker snicker, snort snort." If you rolled your eyes at that joke, then imagine how an informed Windows user responds to BSOD jokes. "That is soooo 1999."

    heh this is true

  14. Well.... on Linus on DRM · · Score: 1

    ----"So don't get these two things confused - one is an external key that is applied _to_ the kernel (ok, and outside the license), and the other one is embedding a key _into_ the kernel (still ok, but the GPL requires that such a key has to be made available as "source" to the kernel)."---- at least if its done, the source will have to be made available, and with the source.. well i imagine that ways to remove it will pop up... and if its external, well then its time to go with an opensource counterpart that falls under the GPL, refuse to use any software otherwise!
