  1. Re:Fiscal Deficit, Loss of Liberty on US Candidates Ignore Looming Debt Crisis · · Score: 1

    Direct Windows Media video link (you will see that both Bush and Kerry belong to the same secret Elite society and are actually distant cousins):

    Remember to do a thorough research on the terms "Skull Bones" and "Bohemian Club" and see who is running the country...

    don't discount this as just another conspiracy theory... do a thorough research

    Financial deficit, loss of liberty and what not... Watch this 40 min video clip and then
    http://www.prisonplanet.tv/articles/august20 04/082 804dictatorspreview.htm

    do a thorough search on the two terms "Skull Bones" and "Bohemian Grove" on the web, read some books...

  4. Re:How's that? on An Independent Study on Offshoring IT? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Corporations don't pay any taxes these days

    I saw this show on PBS that describes how corporations use tax shelters using the tax law loopholes. If they really paid actual taxes, every citizen in USA would be paying about 15% less tax. You can watch the full show online here:

  5. Re:What's the point? on HP To Start Selling Its iPod · · Score: 2, Funny

    My guess is that HP is thinking that people will "throw in an HP iPod" when making an HP computer purchase.

  6. Stopped using hotmail on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 1

    I stopped using hotmail years ago due to loads of spam coming in and one month expiration interval, I had multiple email accounts for different uses, friends, family, domain registrations, etc. and if you don't use hotmail (unpaid version) for a month, they delete all your email and make the account inactive. I switched to yahoo that had a much longer inactivation period and 50 times better spam blocking. Eventually I switched to Gmail... I would never use hotmail unless they guarantee inactivation period to be 12 months instead of 1 (and give me a free gift certificate to amazon.com!!) . I think Gmail had that period set to 9 months...

  7. Make your own browser on MSIE 7 May Beat Longhorn Out The Gate · · Score: 5, Informative

    .....support for tabbed browsing.....

    Well, MSDN front page has an article with code to build your own custom web browser with tabs and an integrated link to a search engine.
    You don't need to buy anything for this. Visual C# express is a free download

  8. My experience on 2.4GHz-Friendly Phones? · · Score: 1

    When I decided to shop for a new cordless phone, I read about all those 2.4 GHz interference so my options were to go back to 900 MHz Digital (which was surprisingly more expensive than 2.4GHz due to limited demand)or analog or to go with 5.8GHz. I did research on 5.8GHz to make sure to pick up a uniden model that uses 5.8GHz both ways (base to handset and viceversa) because lot of 5.8GHz phones use 2.4GHz one way. I didn't have any problems with my selection in my wi-fi network...

  9. Privacy and marketing on TiVo Has to Fund Your Local Stadium · · Score: 5, Informative

    Understand that TiVo itself is no hero. Its proposed system is thoroughly hobbled. The people to whom you'd send recordings online would need you to add them to a "secure viewing group" by ordering special security keys for their Windows computers, associated with your TiVo bill. Each viewer would need to plug one such key into a PC to receive, watch or edit your recordings.

    Makes me wonder if they will ask for the contact info of the receiver/viewer friend also?

  13. Gmail on How Does Gmail Stack Up In The Webmail World? · · Score: 1

    I have ben using Gmail for a while and it is the best one I have used so far. I also use yahoo once in a while.

    I have 6 Gmail invitations to give. Anyone interested, I might give you one...

  14. I use same domain name on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1


    I generally use info@website.com where the "website" is actually the website where I have to give this email address so they could sell it to spammers!

    For the sites that require a valid email address, I use a webmail account.

  15. My TV on Saturn Hailstorm · · Score: 2, Funny


    Last month, some rain water seeped into the cable outlet box outside and for 2 days, all I could hear on my TV was the exact same sound as Saturn Hailstorm (except that the video didn't show the spacecraft travelling around saturn).

    I think aliens from Saturn were trying to use me to send a message.... *smack on the head* if only I had known then..

  18. Firewall on How To Avoid Viruses At Windows Install Time? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Like others have mentioned, use a Router (eg. from Linksys, DLink, Netgear) as firewall or get FREE Zonealarm firewall or just turn WinXP's firewall on. You need a firewall or use another box (e.g Linux) as proxy to connect to web.

  19. Re:Easter Eggs on NetGear Also Has Remote Access Wide Open · · Score: 1

    That's not an easter egg, that's a backdoor :-)
    There is a difference ya know.


    Agreed...but both are basically undocumented *features* of the software... Just different names based on the feature!

  20. Easter Eggs on NetGear Also Has Remote Access Wide Open · · Score: 1

    On a similar note, many developers leave easter eggs in software they write for fun or for whatever reason...Imagine Windows Server 2003 easter eggs allowing admin level login!
    I was shocked when I heard of easter eggs in my Handspring/PalmOne Treo 600 phone! Characters suddenly start appearing on the phone display by pressing a combination of keys...

  21. Same experience on An Analysis Of Email Disclaimers · · Score: 1

    I had the same experience dealing with TW's magazine division employees whereby our business customers have the option of receiving free trial subscription of their magazines. Every email from their employees had that disclaimer. Even if the email text was 5 words, you still get that legal mumbo-jumbo. It seems that it is their corporate policy.
    In the past, I have seen such messages in the Fax cover letters. Maybe they took it over to emails from there...

  23. Big savings on Converting More Heat To Useful Energy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Stinger estimates the US alone could add over 200 gigawatts of generating capacity - almost 20 per cent of its power needs

    Now I don't know the figures but US consumes like a 4th or 5th of entire power consumption on the planet. This could definitely help increase the life of available non-renewable energy resources...

  24. Bad news on Comcast Thinks About Stopping Zombies · · Score: 1

    As far as I'm concerned, the sooner they implement this, the better

    Exactly opposite for me.

    I run my own mail server for my personal domain and send/receive about 10-20 emails per week. If they block the SMTP port, it would suck. One thing I learnt when I signed up for comcast was that as far as sending mail goes, my mail server was unable to deliver email until I configured my mail server to connect to comcast SMTP server using my comcast account and password....

    And banning calculators (in a math exam) is even less feasible
    From google search, you can see that in India, calculators are banned in all school exams. You have to use log tables. For college exams, calculators are allowed.
