  3. its great. if you do what you doctor tell you. on Experiences with Laser Eye Surgery? · · Score: 1

    I had lasik done about 5/6 years ago. (dont rember exactly) back then it cost me $2k usd an eye to doit. and it was woth every cent. my perscription was -7.25 in both eyes, i dont rembmer what the ##/## equivilat is. but i was hella blind. i coulnt defferintiat ppl from more than about 5 feet away. if that give you an idea. my experiance was as follows. had glasses since i was 7-8 yers old im now 26. i asked my optomitrist about it. and long sroty short, they said i was a good candidate, and they recomended a laser eye surgon. i looked into the surgon, went to his office, asked lots of question, what his credintials were. looked in to the places he claimed to get his education etc. and thought him to be a credible surgon, i went a head w/ the surgury and everyting went beautifly, imediatly after the surgy, i saw better than i did w/ my glasses or contact, aside from a slight haze. my vision was crystal clear about 3 dayz after that, an i would do it again if i had to. from looking into it. most complication from lazer eye surgery (at least at the time) re POST op, and mainly due to paitent neglect, i.e. not useing the eye drop they give you after words as prescribed, haveing other helth risk's the neglected to mention, going skiiing the next weekend, i found very few cases of surgical error, i decided the risk was worth it, from most things that were liekly to go wrong., my vision would have only gotten worse, and as bad as my eyes were, that wasnt a major concern any how. 5-6 years later, my eyes have changed slightly, and i use a mild perdcription for driveing, but other than that. im free of glasses/contacts, i can actualy see and drive fine w/ out them. but its just more comfortable w/ em, my main recomendation to any considering lazer eye surgery, is one, DO IT. two, b4 you pick a doctore, get a recomendation from a known good optomitrist, and then thourogly look into the surgon, lastly, stricly follow the prescription the give you after words, and the recomended DO not do activities. good luck.

  5. any one notice. on Curse Your Way to Live Support · · Score: 1

    Its funny, most ppl seem are asumeing the angry caller is xferd to live suport. the article just says angry callers are transferd. Perhaps they're transferd to an anger managament hotline, or an automated message on how to meditate, or and quick message "Were sorry, due to a shortage of robots, we've had to replace are technical suport staff with real people, your currentangr level excceds estasblished tolerence's, please call again." *click*
    From haveing worked in a pc suport call center before, i've discoverd that some people are just angry, there were angry b4 they called, they'll be angry at you, and the be angry when your done no matter how the call went. this is perfect to detect those "customers" and simply ignorthem.

    your right, you shouldnt have to be a computer expert to update windows, and you dont. (im not defending xp or ms). The real point hear, is that w/ the boom in technoligy, many peaple dont understand what a computer really is, its just a fancy type of television to many, or an elaborate type writer. in an ideal world, every computer OS would be secure out of the box, and nobody would have anything to worry about. on the other hand, to creat such a world you would have to give up many choices we take for granted. its not a techinical problem that creats insecurity, its a social one. the weekest part of any secure system, computer or other wise, is the peaple involved and their ignorance. i said in a post somewhere else on /. and it bears(?) repeating, you have to have a license to do everyting in this country, execpt have kids, and own a PC, i recomend we enforce licenceing for both!

  9. the bigger picture on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 1

    im neither a parent, nor under the constraints of one. but i think the bigger picture is much more simple. the internet has all the content of the real world. wich means all the good all the bad, availible in an instant. the basic question is, would you let your 11 yr old kid go walking around new york by his/her self?. if not, then you should not let the be on the internet unsupervied, not sitting the the next room, not upstairs sleeping, but in a place you can adequatly see what their doing. you dont have to read every page or im the send, but pay attention to them. just like if you were walking around new york city, or any other major populated area. if you can trust your kids in that kind of situation, then you can trust them on the internet. i think a big issue that needs to be delt w/, particularly the older generation, is the view the internet as another form of TV or Radio. And its not even remotely comparable to the two. I think if parents understood this fundamental concept about WHAT the internet realy is. they would be much more cautious about letting their children use the net unsupervied.

  13. Guilt by ignorance/incompotence on The Computer Owner - Guilty or Not Guilty? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I belive computer owners who have systems connected to the internet should be held acountable even if theyre pc was hijacked, unless, they can prove haven takeing resonable steps to protect there computer. like, antivirus software, fire wall, being a well educated computer user. Something i dont think many people understand or would agree w/ , is that owning a computer that is conected to the interner, has a certain resposibility w/ it. like owning a car, or a gun, caries great resposibility, im not equating the two. ignorant computer users, who knowingly or unknowing contribute to virus propogation, shoule be held accountable for it. just like if you dont keep your car well maintained, and it causes and accedent, you will be held accountable, becasue of you negligence. it is very easy to porotect your computer from virus's and other unwanted programs, as im shure most /. readers will a gree, the problem is the general public, and average computer users dont know how easy it is. you have to have a license to to everyting in the us, exept own a computer, and have a kid, maybee its time to start on those too. less morons, and less morons useing computers.

    First off, any software that changes system configuration w/ out letting you know, is bad software.(correlary, M$ is bad software too). About 3 months ago i was happily running winXP, and had been since its release, and had had next to no troubles with, and in the grandious scheme of things, i still dont, i am however now running linux, and have been for about 2 months. Basicly i got hit by why i can only describe as and adware/spyware BOMB. Unfortunatly i could never trace the source of the my problem, but in short, i spent about 2 weeks trying to elimate several add/spy ware programs from my computer, but to no avail, more just kept comming up. I finaly got so fed up w/ all these crap popus, i busted out my RH9 cd's and began the install, utterly destroying what was left on my hd. If you ask me,(and yes you did), i beleive it is illegal, in the sence that it is unauthorized access to a computer system, but good luck in court, and if it isnt illegal, it shure as hell should be. Long story short, run linux, no adware !!
