Neither did I. Unless they are counting players that use Sandisk FLASH and not ones specificaly made by Sandisk. That would make more sense as Sandisk is a big player in flash memory.
I love my Sirius!
Howard uncensored is the best, and when I get bored of him, there is 99 other channels (mostly commerical free, the talk channels have commercials) to enjoy.
Wal-Mart "training" is a joke. You do NOT get product training; you simply watch stupid videos about sexual harassment and corporate BS. I worked in electronics and was only good at my job because like most Slashdot readers, I know a lot about electronic devices. If I did not walk in there knowing anything, I would have been left on my own.
As to why they don't know where anything is, that is because it was not uncommon for a entire department to be totally rearranged. What was in one area last week is now somewhere else. Sort of like a scavenger hunt.
Management sucks, and unless you're in it for the long haul, expect a slap in the face come raise time. I was basically told that if I do not want to be promoted and become a life long employee, I will only ever get a very tiny raise.
Too bad my pocket PC will only properly sync with Outlook. Althoug to be honest Outlook 2003 is not that bad. I would still like to try an open source based e-mail client, but until it will sync with my PDA correctly I can't make the switch.
Does the fact that people are using the technology to skip ads not tell the advertisers that, maybe, just maybe, we don't want to see the ads for there crappy product they are trying to pimp? Seems to me that pissing off the majorty of your customers with silly product placements is not the best way to reach the few that do skip your ads. Just my thoughts.
So your saying a "copy" of informaion such as your PIN for your bank account and possibly your credit card #, your e-mail passwords, etc... is ok for them to have?
Hey why not post a "copy" on here so we can all get one. You don't need to worry, as we will only have a "copy". I'm sure no one will do anything bad with the "copy".
Download Statusbar has an update on the extensions page that lets it work with 1.5 but the "check for updates" is not finding it. I found that with most of my extensions, including of all things, Adblock. That one suprised me because it is one of the most popular.

Sony messup is public now. No longer only on /.

Bad Day To Be Sony

Especially when I saw this story on "CNN" today. You know it's gone "public" when it's on CNN! Sorry Sony, you messed up and a few million know about it now. Hopefully this will make a bigger part of the public think about DRM next time they reach in there wallet to buy the newest "CD".

Well now that they see this, maybe others will follow suit and NOT do this kind of crap to us anymore. On the other hand, they may not be as public about it next time and just try to pay off whoever finds the "bug" in the DRM software.
Just my 2 cents.
1st GF: animal in the sack, dirty girl, didn't last long, nothing else was there
2n GF: Geeky. Into computers like me, legally blind (240/20 in the bad eye, can NEVER drive). Dated a year and a half, talked about marriage & kids. Did love her a lot. Still think about her sometimes. She got very cold, wouldn't even let me hug her, NEXT! Doesn't even speak to me now, see next point.
Fling: I left gf #2 for this girl, didn't work out. Still friends though. Mostly online (MSN)
3rd Gf: Ended up not having time for me in her life. Works at a nuke plant. Not really a geek though, don't know how well it would have worked anyways.
4th GF: Plays drum in a scottish pipe bank. uses Firefox (instant turn on!), dones't mind that I am a huge geek (she loves thinkgeek.com too). Fell in love within a month, but no sex, she's a virgin and catholic (been going to church with her a bit.. not too sure how I feel about that yet), so wants a ring before we even live together, wasn't too sure I could deal with that.
Miskate: #3 has time for me now, went back to her (nookie possibility). Last week she calls me, she prego from someone she was seeing when I was seeing #4 for the first time. Thats done, I'm out.
#4 wants me back; saw her last sat. It's like nothing changed. Realized what body parts to think with. True love and friendship is better than sex! Besides, it will happen eventually. She may not even wait for marriage if were sure.
Us geek guys just have to find the right girl. Someone that can appriciate your finer points (nice guys, good in bed, faithful, good at fixing things, able to figure out the instrucation manual for something,etc..) and look past the things that some people may not like. I can honestly say that I am happy being a geek guy and wouln't change it for anyone!
To license the net. I've said this before and I honestly believe it. You can't keep virus and spyware off your machine, too bad then. No internet access for you. It's like a car, if you keep crashing it, they will take away your license because you being on the road is dangerous to others. Same with the net and your box. If you box (car) is making it hard or worse, unsafe for me to use the net (drive), guess what, you can't be on it anymore. No arguments. It's not really that hard to buy an AV program and keep it up to date. Hell most of them now update themselves.
Same thing with Windows (yes I know not everyone has SP2, but is windowsupdate.microsoft.com really that hard to type in). I think most people are just unaware of the dangers their computer can cause on the net if it's not up to date. I know that when I leave home my dad is going to get rid of his; he knows that he won't be able to maintain it and can't be bothered to learn.
Ok rant over.
Today I tried to make a Yahoo! Photos thing in Firefox. The little flash video thing said there is a tool you can use to upload many photos at once. I couldn't find the link at all for this "tool". Of course not, doesn't work at all in Firefox. If you want to use Firefox, you have to upload ONE file at a time. So right now I'm using IE, but glad to see I won't have to for much longer.
Slashdot Mirror
Neither did I. Unless they are counting players that use Sandisk FLASH and not ones specificaly made by Sandisk. That would make more sense as Sandisk is a big player in flash memory.

Uses standard HTTP over port 80.
Lets see them block that

Yeah for our local Wal-Marts!
Unless both IE and FF do not render that page correctly, all it has is a link to e-mail the band.

As I read this I just pictured a really good Monty Python skit.... Perhapse one day..
I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't the virus over time just mutate to get around this?
IANAS (I am not a scientist) but I think that could happen...
Somneone calls me at 2 am; they get the boat airhorn in the phone!

Not to bug, but what sites are you going to?
The only time I get pop ups in Firefox at all is when I go to crackspider or one of those "free smiley" type sites.

Why did I click on that link? WHY!!
The only thing that would have been worse is tubgirl
Shudder
It's so funny because it's true! Had me laughing so much I just got Coke all over my desk.

It sure is :D
The 880 will be out in april. There are some really cool features coming out for it too :)
Tighten the 5 screws on the remote. There are two on the back; and three under the batteries. That should fix it (Yes I do tech support there)
