  1. Re:30 GB?!?!?! 250K oughta be enough for anyone! on 30Gigs Web Mail Launches Into Beta · · Score: 5, Funny

    I get more than a gig of email a day not even counting the couple gigs I get of pics, video, etc (pr0n) a day.

    No wonder the internet is slow...

  2. Re:Wherefore on SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha released · · Score: 1

    I agree, I don't understand that they don't tell you how to do that, just as they tell you when you want to install Thunderbird extensions (since obviously these don't work in Firefox - most of them at least).

    But, you can always right-click and choose "save link as...".

  3. Re:Why Seamonkey? on SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha released · · Score: 1
    some people like having a "send page by email" in a browser submenu.
    File -> Send link...
    or being able to fire up a new mail message with a single hotkey while in the browser window.
    Ctrl-M
  4. Re:Wherefore on SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha released · · Score: 1

    and reinstalling requires re-downloading,

    Since when? Nobody told you to download AND install it the first time. You could've just downloaded it, put it in a place somewhere on your HD and install it afterwards.

  5. Re:This is not about terrorism on Dutch to Open Electronic Files on Children · · Score: 1

    I did RTFA. It says nothing about children of 12 years and up. It talks about child protection services calling in parents for meetings based on police records (criminality), school records (truancy), doctors records (possible abuse/beatings?). Do you think children under twelve don't skip class? Do you think they don't rob the grovery store around the corner? I'm not saying it is not helping keeping the adolescents on a straight path, but it is not about muslim youth only as you suggested. And certainly not about terrorism as stated in the subject...

  6. Re:Who gives a damn if this is well intentioned... on Dutch to Open Electronic Files on Children · · Score: 1

    To some level you are right. Everybody is so concerned with their privacy, while some 'social control' would prevent a lot of problems from evolving.

  7. Re:This is partly about terrorism on Dutch to Open Electronic Files on Children · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with tracking Muslim youth, or any problem-youth. You as a Dutch citizen should know that there have been several little children killed by there parents or friends of parents, and later it was found that several governmental agencies knew about possible troubles, except that the agencies didn't know of each other that they knew it. This is an attempt to end this problem. I haven't thought about the consequences yet, so I don't know if it is a good idea or not.

  8. Re:Potential for exhortion/blackmail? on Dutch to Open Electronic Files on Children · · Score: 1

    And who are you going to blackmail then? Like said in other posts, there are already databases filled with data, but they just aren't coupled. How will coupling them raise the risk of blackmail?

  9. At last... on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    A Google browser! Just what I always wanted!

  10. Re:Laser Mouse? on NES Controller Laser Mouse · · Score: 1

    So does the link to the G7 (which actually is a laser mouse)...

  11. Re:RIAA's response.. on Legal Music Downloads Increase in 2005 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Joke aside, but are they? These are legal downloads, so about 65 cent per 99-cent-song is going right into the pocket of the music industry. Apple alone has sold almost 500 million songs, that's 325 million dollars, for doing nothing!

  12. Re:Public Danger... on First Picture of new Motorola iTunes Phone? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Great. Now people will be able to talk and listen to music while driving....

    I've always been able to talk while driving. Listening to music isn't that difficult to, just turn on the car stereo.

  13. Re:Get on those torrents on Knoppix 4.0 DVD - Like a Kid in a Candy Store · · Score: 2, Funny

    lots of loud?

  14. Expensive? on Extending Pop Music Copyrights · · Score: 1

    From the article: Purnell, who will outline his plans in a speech next week, said: "The music industry is a risky business and finding talent and artists is expensive. There is a view that long-term earners are needed so that the record companies can plough money back into unearthing new talent."

    I'm sorry, but paying several of this new talents millions of dollars for every song they screech is expensive. BTW: I haven't seen much real talent since the Beatles split up.

  15. Re:From the FWIW department... on George Dantzig, 1914-2005 · · Score: 1
    Talking about mathematics:

    ...a couple of three fellow students...

    couple = two
    three = three

    ergo: two = three

  16. Re:Filesize? on Fermilab Builds 500-Megapixel Camera · · Score: 1

    RTFA!

    The 500 megapixel Dark Energy Camera (DECam) would be placed

  17. Re:This is it... on A Mouse With Two Mothers · · Score: 1

    Yes, they do. Who else is going to take the garbage out?

  18. But ... on EFF To Fight Dubious Patents · · Score: 1

    on the EFF site there is a link to the Public Patent Foundation!

  19. Re:Old News on Giant Sub-Woofer · · Score: 1

    VERY old news indeed. I saw this site for over a year ago...
