  2. Re:They'd better have a good lens on the phone... on Cell Phone with Camera = Scanner · · Score: 1

    I'm getting schooled on foreign vernacular... I had to look up "tatty" underwear. I guess it is like tattered.

    I assume by "Y fronts" you mean the "briefs" or "tighty whiteys" as we like to call them.

    But now I get it... thanks for the clarification about everyone's knickers (had to throw that in there somewhere).

    Linus said that they're compatible, therefore Intel is following in their footsteps.

    Come on people, it's not that hard!

    Why not? They make radar detector detectors... In those US States where they are illegal, the cops sometimes use them to nab people for using detectors.

    So, you guys in the UK consider underpants awful? :)

    Maybe I'm too old for the street lingo, but what does "It will look pants" mean??

  10. Did HE take the numbers now? on Visual Autopsy Of An ATM Card Skimmer · · Score: 1

    The question I have is: Now that this guy's got a memory stick full of people's atm card numbers and pins, did he resist the temptation of going into business for himself? :)

    Boardwalk! (paired up with Park Place)

    It's funny... I never considered that there were other versions of the game... Duh. I just assumed that the entire planet knew the names of all the expensive places in the USA. How American of me! :)

    Geez. they're galled adverbs...
    "horrible written" -> "horribly written"
    "good written" -> "well written"

    Did you see the jobs they have? assistant in a home for the disabled?
    There aren't that many high tech jobs in eastern Europe. I know a guy who moved to the US from Bulgaria and he said that all his friends were bored with life and wrote viruses for fun. Nobody there would hire them to do tech work.

    Ironically, now that outsourcing is targetting Eastern Europe, one of your problems (viruses, etc) might be subdued a bit (a bit!) by one of our other problems (jobs leaving the country). Of course, people elsewhere will always be around to write them.

  18. Re:I don't buy this article at all. on Earthlink Invests In Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    Ambient doesn't work. The technology is just way to infant.

    "way to infant"? I thought the only way to an infant was sex...

    Well, since everyone knows that sex sells, I've just got to get me some Ambient stock right NOW!

  23. Re:Scientists have agendas too... on Scientists Challenge U.S. on Scientific Distortions · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Scientists agendas are usually based on getting more free tax money for their projects.

    If they weren't biased, the document wouldn't refer to "the Bush Administration". It would just talk about the government. When they talk about the president, they make it politics and, during an election year, that's just plain partisanship.

    Shame on them!
