  1. Re:Floating iPod on Real Wood iPod · · Score: 1

    Although by this point I doubt that the person concerned was particularly bothered by the outcome.

  2. Re:More than that. on Court Rules GIS Data Can't Be Kept Secret · · Score: 1
    "Greenwich's road and sewer maps, property assessment data and aerial photographs"

    I don't see any of your examples in the list of data that is being released.

    So no different to here then.

    How often do you get a fraction of a cent?

  5. Re:Personalization =~ Localization on A Peek at Personalized Google · · Score: 1

    I'm in the UK, and I get my gmail and news. Didn't bother asking for weather - this is England, after all.

  6. Re:About those 50... on Invading Privacy for School Credit · · Score: 1

    1500 were still on the rolls, 50 of them voted.

    Someone needs to make a torrent, I doubt this will last long.

  8. Re:yay on Supreme Court Allows Direct Shipment of Wine · · Score: 1

    If the others couldn't care less, persumably they aren't bothered if it goes through or not. So why shouldn't they vote for it?

    Does there have to be something to sweeten the bill for every single senator/congressman (delete as aplicable) before they will vote for it?

  9. Re:Yeah, that's kinda the point on MPAA Targets TV Download Sites · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Bad analogy. You bought a ticket to a specific film at a specific time. If you subscribe to cable, it's like buying a season ticket to the cinema, and in that case, of course you could walk in at any time.

  10. Re:Special Instructions for SCO on IBM Gives SCO the Works · · Score: 1

    I never expected to laugh out loud when reading a legal document.

    Thank you IBM.

  11. Re:American? on The Unemployed Working on OSS Projects · · Score: 1
    To quote from the GP:

    "While calling someone from Brazil, Panama, or Paraguay "American" would indeed be technically correct, citizens of those and other nations on the North & South American continents (in my personal experience) don't readily refer to themselves as "Americans", and you'd probably get strange looks naming them such."

  12. Re:Is it April Fools Day? on Offshoring to a Ship in International Waters · · Score: 1

    Even if it's a FoC, they are still governed by the laws of that country.

    In any case, several of the FoC states are starting to clean up their acts.

  13. Re:They "think" it was "sabotaged" ? on EU Sleuths Think Microsoft Sabotaged Windows · · Score: 5, Informative
    Or you could try Real Alternative.

    I've been using it for the last year or so for exactly the same reason as you, and not had a problem.

  14. Re:4x lead when population normalized on UK Officially The Most Hacked Country · · Score: 1

    Unless you happen to be living in the country, out of reach of any cable operators and still waiting for your exchange to be upgraded.

    So other than having no broadband option short of satellite, no reason at all to still be using dialup.

  15. Re:Good Move Microsoft!!!! on Microsoft to Disable Online Windows Activation · · Score: 1

    Maybe so, but not the same copy of Quicken that he was using on the PC.

  16. Re:Good Move Microsoft!!!! on Microsoft to Disable Online Windows Activation · · Score: 1

    hah! Tell that to my dad. He's been using PC's for the last 15 years, bought a Mac for some reason, and tried to install Quicken.

  17. Re:A lot less invasive on California Wants GPS Tracking Device in Every Car · · Score: 1

    I'd think a collapsing bridge would be covered under wear and tear, wouldn't you?

    "The only thing you don't have a right to do with your own property is destroy it -- it's a defence to theft that the former owner intended to destroy something that you took from them with intent to use it for its rightful purpose {unless its rightful purpose is to be destroyed}."

    I can't quite make sense of this, what is the poster trying to say?

  20. Re:Another IDN bug on Firefox on Shmoo Group Finds Exploit For non-IE Browsers · · Score: 1

    Using IE may save you from this particular bug, but you need the virtual PC to save you from all the others that IE lets through.

  21. Re:Another IDN bug on Firefox on Shmoo Group Finds Exploit For non-IE Browsers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Looking at the source would get a little tedious if one has to do it before clicking on every single link.
