  1. So I guess . . . on Clever Caller ID Tricks With VoIP · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'll be getting a refund for that $7.99 I just paid to my telephone carrier for caller ID blocking?

  2. Re:The actual court finding: on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 1
    In fact, find more detail than the government or media really wants you to know at: http://www.supremecourtus.gov/.

    But isn't this a government website? It is, and therefore I don't think you can claim that this is more information than the government wants us to know. In fact, perhaps the opposite is true here: not only do they want us to know the full details of the case, but, as law requires them, they're giving us every opportunity to inform ourselves.

    I think Aristotle would be happy.

  3. callin' this one out! on GEOS Available for Download After 18 Years · · Score: 1

    Near laser quality from a mere 24-pin and my old '286.

    Ok, I'm enjoying this thread, but COME ON! A dot matrix printer with near laser quality? Most dot matrix printers I remember cut more groves into the paper as much as they printed ink!

  4. XML is a language, right? on Microsoft Receives XML Patent · · Score: 1

    Is it just my faulty memory, or didn't Microsoft actually spend a great deal of time working with Sun, W3C, and others in a supposedly open environment to help create XML? If so, why bother to patent it now? Or to render it less valuable through obstructive patents?

  5. Re:Privacy?? on Wal*Mart continues push for RFID adoption · · Score: 1

    I think the answer here is simple: this is a privacy issue because you'd have to rely on the manufacturers/retailers to turn off the tags once you purchase the product. Otherwise you're toting around all kinds of radio transmitters. Unless, of course, you have an affordable independent means of verifying their transmission status. You've got that, right?
