  1. Re:it's about time some one did this on California Bans Front-Seat Computer Use · · Score: 1

    multi tasking on the net, or in the office is one thing. But doing it in a car can get you and others killed. I seriously think that the only thing while driving should be driving. How would you feell if some guy plowed through you're family becuase he was to busy on his laptop looking for directions. I'm sure mapquest didn't tell him to drive through innocent children and mother on the side of the road.

  2. it's about time some one did this on California Bans Front-Seat Computer Use · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I almost wrecked into a guy with an LCD screen mounted in his passenger seat. some things are not meant to do while driving. If you "think" you can do it while you drive, then you should pull the car over.

  3. get a laptop on Laptop vs. Small Desktop: Best Bang Per Watt? · · Score: 0

    but not an athalon or pIV,those things are power hungry beasts, get the pentium III maybe w/ a centrino chipset in it.

  4. mabye if... on Mythic Sues Microsoft Over Mythica MMORPG · · Score: 0

    MS could make something original, then problems like this could be averted. These people will be bought out soon.

  8. The state of the world today on SunnComm Says Pointing to Shift Key 'Possible Felony' · · Score: 0

    When any movie star can become govenor and finding critical bugs in software is a felony offense, I worry how bad it will be after I die. Then I remember that I'll be dead :)

    now this is flame bait, forget that GNAA guy.

  12. how longwill it be on Woz OK's Apple I Resurrection · · Score: 2, Funny

    before people want to "resurect" an old PII or K-5? maybe we should start small with an 8088 :)

  13. well now we know... on Essay Grading Software For Teachers · · Score: 0

    ... the kids have been properly tought how to use the speeling and grammar software in thier word processors.

  14. Re:Socket on the underside of the board??? on Pentium-M In Mini-ITX Format · · Score: 0

    It might be for access from the bottom of the case, much like many components in a laptop nowadays

  15. did you all notice.... on Everyone Needs a Personal Server · · Score: 0

    ....that this thing runs linux, but looks like it requires Windoze XP to run? Tell me that was just what they tested it with.

  16. tell them the truth on Learning to Say No in the Workplace? · · Score: 0

    if it can't be done, or the strech is just to much work to be feasable, tell them. If they tell you they want it done any way, let them know about "don't say I didn't warn you". then leave. IE F*CK 'EM! They pay you to run the network and if they don't want to listen to the one person that knows something, thats not your proplem.

  17. not my vision of a spammer on Spammer Ducks For Cover · · Score: 0

    I never though spammers were real people, I thought they were just people who lived in a cave or similar dark dreary place, with alot of computer screns for light and only coming outside at night, like me.

  18. No foriegn software at all? on Chinese Government to Use Only Local Software · · Score: 0

    then we should force M$ into Canada now!

  19. I call bullshit! on Windows XP Edges Out KDE in Usability Test · · Score: 0

    60 users on KDE, but only 20 on Windows?!?!?! It seems that the same group should be asked to do the same tasks twice, once on each system, then poll that groups opinions. or have an equal number of people on each group, randomly selected from an average population.
    No wander Windoze won, I'ts easy to get 100% of 1/4 the people (80 in all, 1/4=20). Or maybe they rearranged the groups after the fact, and then reported what they wanted!

  20. Movies are worth it? on MPAA Opens Anti-filesharing Website · · Score: 0

    At leats the little picture of a ticket on the right of the page says so, I beg to differ. Any one who keeps up with Fark, has realized that hollywood is running out of ideas, and they just add more T&A and some explosions with a one liner after it.

    So ask yourself, Are movies REALLY woth 'IT' (ie, your $$$)

  21. Cellular Frequencies Blocked...... on World's Most Advanced Portable TV · · Score: 1, Interesting

    at least thats what is says on the page, how hard would a firmware hack be to fix that, and listen to all sorts of people on cellphones? maybe w/ an addon decoded for the digital signal.
