  1. Mistake? on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 0

    Mistake #1: Letting them have computers in their rooms.

    Mistake #2: Not taking them out.

    If you love your children you won't let them browse the internet unsupervised.

  2. Re:My 2 cents as an older brother... on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Children will not respect you for letting you have free reign on the internet. Wake up. 15 year-olds need rules and guidance just as much as the rest of us.

  3. Internet access on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As yourself this. Would you feel uncomfortable letting your children walk around anywhere they wanted to go unattended any time of the day or night? Turning down that dark alley is just one click away on the internet. Personally I have Norton at least *try* and keep some of the crap out.

  4. Re:Censored. on Wal-Mart to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: 0

    I for one welcome our new WalMart overlords.

  5. Re:Lies, damned lies, and dumb polls... on Millions Delete ALL Music Files? · · Score: 0

    You know... I keep wondering why it isn't alright to have downloaded songs on my computer that I already own the CDs to. I'm too lazy to copy them to the computer so I'd rather jusd download them.

  6. You know... on Millions Delete ALL Music Files? · · Score: 0

    I keep wondering one thing. Why is it not all right to have downloaded songs of stuff you already own? I'm too lazy to drag all the CDs out that I paid for and rip the data off them so I can play them on my computer. So what gives? Why is it evil to do such a thing if I already paid for the CD?

  8. Re:This is happening a lot in my city on Traffic Light Switcher Makes Critics See Red · · Score: 0

    If the pavement has detectors in it then that's exactly what it's supposed to do!
    See that button on the pole?
    Push it if you want a pedestrian crossing. That's what they put them there for.

  9. Can you spell "Snake Oil"? on Traffic Light Switcher Makes Critics See Red · · Score: 0

    Telephone conversation:

    "Hello FAC of America? My MIRT doesn't seem to be working"
    "Aaah, you see the MIRT doesn't emit visible light"
    "Then how will I know if it's working?"
    "Well, when you drive up to an intersection with it on the lights will change to green after a short delay to let traffic clear"
    "I drove up to one and it took seemingly as long as usual for the light to change"
    "Well, that is controled by the cities setting of the intersection data"
    "Then how will I know if it is working?"
    "It is entirely possible that the intersection in question is not controlled by an OptiCom device. If you try it and it doesn't work then the intersection isn't one controlled this way...sorry"
    "Click"

  11. Portal??? Seems kind of odd... on Free Software As Nigerian Scam · · Score: 0

    But what Strauss describes as a portal sounds a lot like a web page with a cookie. Maybe there's more to it than that...

  19. Motorola thinks on Motorola Launches A760 Linux and Java Smartphone · · Score: 0

    Motorola must think the SCO threat is low.

    This, to me is good news not only for people
    wanting to have a Linux based MotoPhone but
    also for Linux itself.

    BTW, I hear that Metroworks has really gone
    down the tubes lately so it doesn't suprise
    me that they chose MontaVista

  20. An Idea on Linux Based Tablets Are Coming · · Score: 0

    Tablet PCs are an idea who's time has never come.
    They're too pricey for what they do compared to
    a laptop.

  21. Estes on Build Your Own Saturn V · · Score: 0

    The original Estes Saturn V's were multi engined. They would have been a larger (D) candidate had they been available at the time. Getting 3 or more engines to start at once is HARD.
