  1. Re:OMFG!!! HAM radio on Italy Quake Rescuers Ask Locals To Unlock Their Wi-Fi (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I do have to agree with this. I had actually let my license lapse and just recently renewed for this reason. In the recent Louisiana floods, there was a call for amateur radio ops to help out with comms b/c basic infrastructure had been literally washed away or overloaded. With the fit hits the shan, hams are more than willing to step up to the task.

  2. Composite, man! on Xbox 360 adds 1080p Support · · Score: 1
    Nah, still got mine hooked up composite to a tube TV.

    Dead Rising's text is just little blurry lines... *sigh*

  3. Re:Collide? on Huge Storms Converge on Jupiter · · Score: 1

    "Fluid dynamics, particularly on such a massive scale as storms on a planet like Jupiter, is still largely a matter of wild ass "guess"timates."

    Yes, but they're educated wild-ass-guesstimates!

  4. Re:Depends on a lot of factors on Making an Argument Against Using Visual-Basic? · · Score: 1

    Amen, brotha!!!

    Can I get a witness???????

  5. Ok, but... on Apple Sued Over Potential Hearing Loss · · Score: 1
    First, I am totally against frivolous lawsuits. If you were the idiot that spilled hot coffee in your lap, then it's pretty much your fault...

    But, I have to admit, those earbuds can get dangerously loud. The other day I heard music coming from the next room. I asked my daughter what she was listening to and she said, "My iPod."

    "Your Nano? What speakers?", I asked.

    "The earbuds," she replied.

  6. Missing the point... on Nintendo With Possible Palm OS Capabilities · · Score: 1
    The capabilities of the DS have only begun to emerge. My son has one, and I can't help picking it up every time he leaves it laying about and thinking "hey, wouldn't it be cool if..." (Probably will get my own actually...)

    You put some Palm PDA functions in the sucker, aim it at junior/senior high kids, then *boom* you got some PDA junkies for life...

    Have you seen the text messaging a 14 year old girl can do? Put one of these in her hands, let her friends get some "me too" going, then fuhgeddaboutit!

  7. Is it just me... on The Ten Worst Products of the Year · · Score: 2, Interesting
    ...or would you not purchase products from most of those companies anyway?

    A camcorder from Fisher...no thanks!

    Who the hell is Concord anyway?

    GiGaFast? Now there's a name brand! ;)

  8. Palm Innovation... on Limitations in Current Breed of Palm Handhelds? · · Score: 1

    Now that Sony has bailed on the Palm format, I'm afraid that any new innovation will be nil to none.

  9. Norton/Symantec Antivirus - Watch out! on Thunderbird 1.0 RC1 Released · · Score: 1

    We use Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition and it does not play well with Thunderbird/Mozilla mail. If you receive an email with a virus, the Autoprotect will quarantine your ENTIRE inbox - NOT just the bad file. I use TB, BTW, so I've just blocked Autoprotect from scanning the TB mail directory.

  10. Groceryworks.com on Dot-Com Service Memories? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Groceries! Delivered! To your door! Did everything except put them up for you... *sigh*
