  1. Re:pretty obviously unenforceable on Businesses Generally Ignoring E-Discovery Rules · · Score: 1

    Hear hear, you mirror my sentiments exactly. This the the kind of crap Lawyers love. This Judge can stuff it.

  2. Turn about is fair play. on UK Wants Huge Expansion In Offshore Wind Power · · Score: 1

    Same goes for members of the EU telling us about ours.

    Don't mind it a bit if they are NPT members and totally transparent about there nuclear programs it and give the same open access to inspection as everyone else on the up and up does. There is no reason for a secret nuclear program or hiding things if you are on the up and up.

  5. mode them flamebait/troll on Ham Radio Operators Are Heroes In Oregon · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This should be modded flamebait or troll since it is.

  6. NO sorry GMAIL is broken. on Are Spammers Giving Up? · · Score: 1

    Sorry AC I took all the steps GMAIL recommended. The sender is a torrent tracker and the messages are letting me know torrents I am interested in have been added. Get your head out of your own rear please. The tracker is not sending SPAM I have requested these messages. Taking the steps recommended does not fix the problem GMAIL is broken.

  7. Gmail spam filters SUCK. on Are Spammers Giving Up? · · Score: 1

    Google marks as SPAM email even thought the sender is in my contact list and I have repeatedly marked (hundreds of times) the messages as not spam. My Conclusion is Gmail's filters are crap for this sole reason. They don't even know the problem exists as they have no direct contact with the user and make reporting it too difficult.

  8. Well good. on Stay Lifted, Novell Vs. SCO Can Go Forward · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Almost restores my belief that the US Justice System is worth salvaging. Would fewer lawyers mean justice was served? This whole fandango has taken way too long.

  9. Re:One way to solve this on Mark Cuban Calls on ISPs to Block P2P · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I use bandwidth for P2P and a lot of it. I also pay for the top tier plan that my ISP offers. If it's not enough to pay for the bandwidth I use they need to charge me more. This clown is out of his depth.

  10. Re:Some History here... on Comcast Targets Unlicensed Anime Torrenters · · Score: 1

    Perceived power is zero for ODEX. We are talking about a company that took fansubs and used than as their own according to some. The crap ODEX can pull in Singapore it will not get away with in the US.

  11. Re:John Gage was right... on The Dying PC Market · · Score: 1

    Many fold problems with that. My Cellphone carrier charges to much money, it's slow, the display is dinky, input method stinks. I'll stay with my keyboard, mouse, 20 inch display and, 10X1Mbt connection.

  12. He is nuts on NBC Chief Slamming Apple · · Score: 1

    Profitable rates do not equal the ass raping the "traditional providers" envision. I'll be glad when the baby boomers are all dead and I am one. The sense of entitlement they have to insane amounts of wealth is grotesque.

  13. Meh on Best Buy Customer Gets Box Full of Bathroom Tiles Instead of Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People still shop at this crappy place? You can get better buy at your local white box store or new egg.

  14. Re:One problem with this plan on States Set to Sue the U.S. Over Greenhouse Gases · · Score: 1

    I pretty much can tell you that you make more money than I do since I have not held job since 2000 and no one will hire me. Why should I who already has cut back to the marrow pay more for this than you do? The Government doesn't give me anything all and never will. All the Government does is take, It's governments stupid laws,rules and regulations are the biggest reason I am unemployed to begin with. Jacking up the cost of energy isn't going to do anything anyway but screw folks like me. Try getting by on one meal a day like I do and tell me I shouldn't get an exception. Build 50 reactors her in California we can be as green as we would like then and actually make rather than import much of our own power. This law suit is stupid and will only cost more people like me their jobs while lawyers, lobbyists and, politicians still live the good life.

  15. Re:One problem with this plan on States Set to Sue the U.S. Over Greenhouse Gases · · Score: 2

    Yea all these "charges" are passed on to the consumer. Folks like Spitzer may be able top afford it, I can't California (where I live) Should be breaking ground on 50 Reactors today. That will clean up the air in a huge way and allow us to remain a economic power house. All moves to clean up the air are good and badly needed but only if you are not cutting off the nose of every regular guy like me in the process and putting us into poverty.

  17. Re:No, they shouldn't on AT&T Silences Criticism in New Terms of Service · · Score: 1

    Too bad AT&T seems to own the courts as well. We are a society that is now entirely run by corporate and trial lawyers. The "citizen" is inferior to the corporation and the corporation is superior to the law. .

    No Lawyers are part of Guild that serves only themselves, the good of the country and world be damned. I would get a gun by the Lawyers made them illegal and nearly impossible to get here in California.

    Well thank At&T Lawyers for this further corrosion of your human rights. Lawyers are the person pushing this stuff. The Country exist for the Lawyers and the corporations they create and not for the citizens anymore. This is really pretty petty.

  24. Truth is Stability works for most people on Mandriva Linux 2008 RC 1 Released · · Score: 1

    Mandriva is stable, if stability is a 1999 concept then I am all for it. I want an OS that just works. Mandriva satisfies that requirement for me.

  25. Happy Mandriva Desktop user here. on Mandriva Linux 2008 RC 1 Released · · Score: 1

    I have been using Mandrake now Mandriva since way back in the day (before 7.2) and I value stability, I have run plenty of other distros but my Main desktop machine has been a Mandriva Box. 2007.1 is a great release, as good as my bench mark 9.2 was. 2008 may be as good. Since I use KDE and value stability I will stick with 2007.1 for a while on my main desktop. 2008 will go on an older machine. If it works well it will go on my Wife machine which is running Mahdriva 2006 and my secondary computer. IF you want bleeding edge you can get that from the cooker if you want stability you can get that from the Main distribution. Mandriva has improved a lot in the last two years. They are still French and all that entails but they have got much better and are almost back up to the level they were at in the Mandrake haydays. Mandriva just works for me.
