  1. Re:Perspective on Red Brains vs. Blue Brains? · · Score: 1

    My initial reaction was to disagree vehemently with your post, but after reading some of the responses, and re-reading yours, you could go here

    http://tinyurl.com/ys95m

    and get a good approximation of the number of definitions to be found of the various labels you used (liberal, compassionate, conservative, socialism, etc.)

  2. Re:Motives on RIAA Forgets to Make Royalty Payments · · Score: 1
    Well I guess there are 49 other states that ought to get on the bandwagon. Unless there's one or more that dosen't have something comparable to the abandoned property law :-)

    They're raising taxes here in Texas, and cutting services as we type, and dubya just buried the best part of the next generation with his cut the taxes and spend like a drunken pick yer own minority here

  3. those were the days on BASIC Computer Language Turns 40 · · Score: 1
    ...when I learned how to learn, hacking the RBBS code and config files to make my BBS run the way I wanted it to...
    then there was
    1. "trade wars"
    2. and "lord"
      (legend of the red dragon)

    when you screwed up then, you just tracked down the problem and undid what you screwed up.
    Now you reformat & reinstall windoze
    on the good side, I don't see as much spaghetti as in those days... carbs and all that
    well runnin on has to stop it's almost happy hour time.

    where'd my training wheels go?
  4. I dropped out b4 I got the EE degree but on Lip Sync Problems with New Digital Displays? · · Score: 1

    It would seem to me that its not compensation, but good design to build a tv set where the video and audio are in synch.
    Seems more like the somebody's out to lunch if they build a box that can't get it right.
    The solution might be for the managers at BestBuy, CircuitCity and so on to send them back when the set up a demo unit and see/hear that it's all f''ked up

  5. Re:My shuffle world random rocks on The Joy of Random Shuffle · · Score: 1

    Right on McNoHogwash keep Flying...
    I've got a playlist of 1200+ songs, and random is the only way... get one I really like that I haven't heard in a while, and I'll duplicate the entry for it.
    Keeps ya guessing, turns ya on, and puts muddyChannel (boring opressive capitalist censors)to shame

  6. Re:Spam on FTC Adopts New Rule For Sexually Explicit Spam · · Score: 1

    Illegal to advertise is good. How about one step further and find a way to locate and penalize the upstream feed of the spam. I thought I had a little technical savy, but cutting of the feed seems so obvious, it should be somehow do-able. Spam has got to cost aol, earthlink, and the rest that they ought to be able to manage it.

  7. req for the first hacker to get em: Natalie Mains on Clear Channel Plans To Roll Out Digital Billboards · · Score: 1

    Would love to see Natalie's image up there,
    instead of the dumb vinyl sign that shreds before it lands in pieces on my patio
    from the nearby muddyChannel billboard everytime the wind blows.

    Just don't expect to see a camel with a broken back.

    Likely to help a little.

  10. Means just another instance of Action canceled and on New Wave of Web Ads? · · Score: 5, Informative
    since I make extensive use of the HOSTS file, and have spybot running, this'll probably just mean a few more occasions of


    Action canceled
    Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested.
    The page might be temporarily unavailable.

    and maybe a couple of addditions to my "restricted sites" list.

    ho hum

  11. Yahoo is ignoring it, I guess that means SBC too!! on Yahoo and Hotmail Filter Flaw · · Score: 1
    Posted this recently to SBC, waiting for a response from them:

    according to published information, Yahoo is not responding to the report of a flaw in e-mail filtering software for Yahoo Inc. Web-based e-mail services that could result in the theft of login and password information; the disclosure of message contents in the user's mailbox and contact file; and the exploitation of the user's machine by an outside agent.

    What is SBC doing to resolve this serious vulnerability that your customers are exposed to as a result of this serious flaw on yahoo's part.

    We, your customers, never had the opportunity to choose whether expose ourselves to yahoo, their advertising and this vulnerability.

    I would appreciate some assurance that this severe vulnerability is being fixed.

    see: E-Week article
    and:Source report of vulnerability

  12. Not me, sombody else on my floor must've done it on RIAA To Subpoena Univ. of Michigan Names · · Score: 1

    sounds like a slam dunk defense.

    Except, and I happen to agree with your:
    for all the stupid and evil things that NetSol

    taking into account the logical conclusion assuming your assertion is as accurate as I think it is, who expects NetSol to be around for a hunred years.

  14. Typical dumb*&%t legislation on Top Web Businesses Oppose Utah Spyware Law · · Score: 1

    There's nothing like a stupid knee jerk reaction by uninformed legislators doing something about stuff they are clueless about. The only thing worse than something like this, is when the feds do it, and nullify some state law that does better.

  15. Re:One word - Karate on Building Social Skills in Gifted Youths? · · Score: 1

    Somewhat funny... but in the end lame

  16. It's bad enough when you do a typo on McLaughlin Defends Site Finder As 'Innovation' · · Score: 1
    It's bad enough when you do a typo and get the wrong site, but the situation is, as I see it now, a former monopoly holder is losing the business war from competition where competition has been introduced.

    Now they attempt to hijack xxx million sets of eyeballs daily just because they have the ability. They happen to occupy the position as final authority for a big segment of the Internet.

    It Is/Was An ABUSE of AUTHORITY and nothing else, and ICANN was correct in asking them to cease and desist.

    Veri$ign should forget about trying to hijack eyeballs, and get back to the nuts & bolts of customer service and marketing.
