  1. Re:The reason not to upgrade is... on Ignore Vista Until 2008 · · Score: 1

    I have to comment on this. I am not a computer expert by any means. But I have been using Windows products since 3.1, and I have had BOTH registry corruptions and SP2 hosed my WinXP box, twice. Just my $0.02.

    Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter. No, really I would.

    but Tecmo Bowl was one of my favorite games.

  6. Re:They're the police on No Warrant Needed For GPS Tracking By Police · · Score: 1

    A cop can legally violate traffic laws. I have to say something about this. My father was the chief of police in a small town in VA. It was one of his pet peeves when he saw one of his officers speeding when not headed to an emergency. He always told me that while an emergency vehicle cannot be ticketed, it is illegal for one to break the traffic laws unless it is headed for an emergency, with the lights on. Anyone know any different?

  9. My Talking PC got me busted for p0rn on Are You Talking to Your PC Yet? · · Score: 1

    I can't remember the name of the song I was trying to play, but I had just installed RealVoice on my PC, and I said, "Open ????" where ??? was the name of the song I wanted to hear. Well, the computer repeated my every command, so it was pretty embarassing when it said back to me, "Open Paris Hilton Blow Job?"

  10. My systems been hosed 3 times on The Verdict on WinXP SP2? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have a HTPC that I have tried to install SP2 on three times, the last time being last night, and each time it has hosed my system. After the second time calling 1-888-SP2-Help they told me to order the CD, then start the machinge in safe mode to do the install. That's what I did last night, and guess what, it still freezes after reboot.

  11. Re:3 apps? on Microsoft To Sell Win XP Starter Edition In Russia · · Score: 1

    That is the second time I have seen someone say that running an anti-virus and a firewall will take up two of your apps. It says right in the summary the the thing doesn't network. Why on earth would you need a firewall???

    We use HP monitoring equipment for vital signs.

  13. Re:Nice but, on A Wi-Fi/VoIP Phone Booth In the Burning Man Desert · · Score: 1

    You are wrong. I work in a hospital, and the "cell" phones you see doctors talking on are a low frequency, short range, in house system that won't work 15 yards away from the building. I work in the Trauma Neuro ICU in a large urban hospital, and I have SEEN cell phones interfere with monitoring equipment.
