  1. Re:Here is the con argument on EFF Supporting Home DVD Editing · · Score: 1

    But everybody that know's joe also know's that he's one of those, watchyacallem's, eh, christians. You know, the born again kind. And so everybody smiles and nods when joe tells them that the movie sucks, then they go and rent it. It's the same reason kids do drugs.

  2. This Just In: Only Americans use pencils on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: 1

    From the article: Such attitudes are worrying to a growing number of parents, educators and historians, who fear that computers are speeding the demise of a uniquely American form of expression.

    Since when was writing stuff on paper a uniquely American form of expression?

    IMHO cursive is ugly. I don't like looking at it and I'm glad I hardly ever see it. I actually write things on paper. Sometimes I make it look nice, but I don't use no stinking cursive. Blech.

  3. Re:Other Reasons for Decline on DMCA Vs. The Sewing Underground · · Score: 1

    Lots of people my age range (around 30) range are into, or are getting into, sewing and related activities. There are even flashy magazines about it: [Readymade], and websites [Get Crafty].

    My girlfriend (who is significantly younger than 80) just learned how to crochet, is planning on learning hook & loop rug making, and wouldn't mind a sewing machine. Neither would I really. Nothing like making your own clothes for self sufficiency, and the fancy machines they have now days can make pretty close to factory quality shiz-nit.

    I think you are making broad generalizations.

  4. Turn that shiz-nit on on Earthlink Deploying Challenge-Response Anti-Spam System · · Score: 1

    As someone with an earthlink email account that gets something like 50 spams a day (and I don't even use the account for much), I will turn this feature on as soon as possible. I'll see how it works, and I'll let you all know.

    I do agree with other posters. Earthlink accounts do seem to get tons of spam by default.
