  1. Re:Memory hogging, CPU hogging. on For Firefox 4, You'll Need To Wait Until 2011 · · Score: 1

    Mozilla Firefox likes to blame Adobe Flash for the memory leaks / CPU hogging, and Adobe Flash likes to blame Mozilla Firefox...

    Personally, I don't care WHICH one is causing it, it just needs to be fixed! When Firefox gets above 1.7 gigs of RAM usage is crashes on me, and I have 16 gigs of RAM, which SHOULD be plenty.

  2. Re:You have to forgive many of us if we are skepti on Facing 16 Years In Prison For Videotaping Police · · Score: 1

    In Spokane, many more people are busted for conspiracy to possess a controlled substance than for actual possession of a controlled substance...

    ...Which probably explains why I have a lot of random people walking up to me asking me if I want to go score with them when I'm downtown there... I'm always like "no thanks..." =)

    Maybe I should start saying "You dropped your badge..." =)

  3. Copwatch... on Facing 16 Years In Prison For Videotaping Police · · Score: 1

    What about organizations like Cop Watch, who routinely MONITOR and RECORD the police...? Is what they do illegal?

  4. Police abuses - Defamation on Facing 16 Years In Prison For Videotaping Police · · Score: 2, Informative

    The police in Spokane, WA will file a lawsuit against any citizen who either files a lawsuit against them, or files a complaint against them, for defamation of characters. (Google this, it's true.)

    It's how police keep people from questioning what they do..

    (Wonder if they'll sue ME for even posting this...)

  5. Re:Starting to think of moving to the USA... on Industrial Marijuana Farming Approved In Oakland · · Score: 1

    You can't get a prescription for cannabis, unless you are one of the patients in the I.N.D. program...

    You CAN, however, get a written recommendation... They can't prescribe cannabis because it's schedule I...

  6. Re:Limited Options on Paperless Tickets Flourish Despite 'Grandma Problem' · · Score: 1

    If you REALLY want to support the band, buy merchandise at the show... One time at a concert, two of my friends had walked me to the concert, but they didn't have tickets... A ticket scalper was trying to sell me two tickets for them, and I told him I didn't have any money and neither did they, and I already had a ticket for myself. He hands me two tickets, free of charge, and says "show your friends a good time." Not all ticket scalpers are evil. In his case, he realized he had tickets to a show that DIDN'T sell out, so he would lose out on the money either way... So he might as well just give them away at this point.

  7. Re:There's a few. on SCOTUS Nominee Kagan On Free Speech Issues · · Score: 1

    The federal government is STILL busting medical marijuana patients and dispensaries.

    Nothing has changed, and nothing will until cannabis is rescheduled federally so doctors can PRESCRIBE it instead of just RECOMMENDING it.

  8. Re:IPv6 on VPN Flaw Shows Users' IP Addresses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Right after we get switched to the metric system!

    In elementary school, they ONLY taught me the metric system, because it was going to replace the english system by the time I graduated high school... I'm still waiting...

    I can do that too, when appropriately lysergically enhanced... =)

  12. Re:Well something fishy is going on on Some Newegg Customers Received Fake Intel Core i7s · · Score: 1

    I bought a CPU from "Google Gear" year's ago. It was received damaged, and they refused to send out a replacement, insisting rudely that I must have broke it. (It was broken in the box).

    The company has since changed their name to ZipZoomFly.com, but it's the same people.

  14. Security... on Test of 16 Anti-Virus Products Says None Rates "Very Good" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Security is a process, not a product.

  15. Re:Ok well I disagree on Wait For Windows 7 SP1, Support Firm Warns Users · · Score: 1

    (Disclaimer: Been a Linux user for years, since RedHat 4 or so..) I had SOOO many problems with Vista, turning my quad core into a single core... Freezing up, having to be power cycled to get running again... Switching to Windows 7 (And blowing all the dust out of the machine) fixed it.. I'm suspecting it was Vista causing the crashes..

    Do you review xanax? Vicodin? Perkaset?

    They only make one kind of each of those medicines... cannabis has hundreds of strains..

    The bad news is, you tested positive for marijuana metabolites.

    The good news, you've got the job.

    Can you start tomorrow at 4:20?

  22. Re:Bong? on Colorado Newspaper Looking for Marijuana Reviewer · · Score: 1

    This involves heating the plant material just enough to vaporize the active ingredients, but not enough to ignite it and cause smoke/ash.

    The temperature range for vaporizing cannabis Is 180 - 200 C (356 - 392 F). Now maybe someone can post in here how to build your own vaporizer?

    Couldn't this delay be solved by quantum entanglement and use that to transmit data?

    If they were smart, they would have fired his ass right away and offered the guy he beat on something. Hell, a year of free service might have been enough. Now, VERIZON is getting a black eye in public, and looking like idiots who condone thuggish behavior by their Techs. Really makes ME want to get their service...

    Maybe they were afraid he'd punch THEM in the face too?

  25. Re:More to the Story? on Verizon Sued After Tech Punches Customer In Face · · Score: 1

    Sometimes, the cops don't do ANYTHING, even when they know who did it. Sandpoint, ID cops have looked the other way while meth addicts have broken into cars, stolen the stereo and speakers, and left oil foot prints leading up to their front door. Must have just been easier to not deal with the paperwork. Nothing more to see here, move along.
