  1. Re:All the facts. on Secret Service Seeks Indymedia Logs · · Score: 1

    Hmm, seems to me the DMCA was signed by Bill Clinton, not George Bush.

  2. Re:Seems useless to me. on Caller ID Falsification Service · · Score: 1

    My phone number used to be one number off of a local doctor's office. As my answering machine just had a basic "Please leave a message", I would get some very detailed messages. I was almost tempted to call back a couple times pretending to be the doctor.

  3. Re:Exactly on A Flying Leap for Cars? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Well, if they fly out over the water, launch the missle.

  4. Re:In-game soda machines... on In-Game Advertising Breaks Out · · Score: 1

    Go ahead, put the add in. I already have to wait a while for the next level to loan (yes, I am on a very low end machine). As I usually use this time to get up and get something to eat/drink, I would not be seeing the add anyway.

  5. Re:Sniper rifle?! on Ready, Aim, HACK! · · Score: 5, Informative

    After I RTFA, I found that a sniper rifle was not used

    The BlueSniper "rifle," created by John Hering and colleagues at Flexilis as a proof-of-concept device, resembles a rifle. It has a vision scope and a yagi antenna with a cable that runs to a Bluetooth-enabled laptop or PDA in a backpack.

  6. Touch typing on Is Typing a Necessary Skill? · · Score: 1

    I am very glad that my high school made the keyboarding class mandatory. The time it saved me in college alone was well worth the semester of "asdf-jkl;" I can not imagine typing all day having to look at the keyboard.

  7. Re:Errr. Don't think so. on DAoC To Ameliorate Level Grind With Giveaways · · Score: 1

    By the time you get a decent group moving my hour was up and the wife was yelling

    You lucky man. You actually got a whole hour on the computer before the wife started yelling. Or was she yelling the whole time and you just started paying attention after an hour?

  8. Re:My First Pentium. on The History Of Pentium · · Score: 1

    The first computer I purchased was a Packard Bell 286 with a hugh 4 megs of ram and a giant 60 meg hard drive. It was quite the upgrade from my dad's IBM XT with 640k and 10 meg hard drive.

  9. Re:Things that changed my life... on New HHGTTG Radio Show Gets Douglas Adams' Voice · · Score: 1

    Perhaps he is talking about this movie: http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/main.html

  10. Re:Absolutely Stupid! on Yet Another Degrading DVD · · Score: 1

    Solution: Just move the town.

  11. Re:All we have to do is ... on Is This The Big One? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I just talked to my dad in Seattle and Washington state is still there.

  12. Re:Bring the qualifiers to the west coast!! on Big Bang of Convergence · · Score: 1

    That is because it would be considered an "away" game if it is played anywhere south of Portland.

  13. Re:Plastic isn't good enough for us on Remote New Zealand Volcano Sees Dinosaur Alert? · · Score: 1
  14. Re:But do you need multiple monitors? on Running Video Cards in Parallel · · Score: 1

    I use my multiple monitor setup for video editing.

  15. Re:I don't know a good rate... on Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers? · · Score: 1

    If you go to your bank (or better yet, your local credit union) and get pre-approved for your auto loan through them you will have much better barganing power with the dealer.

    The worse thing you can do is to take the dealer financing that offers no payment for a year. Once that year is over, you still owe $20,000 on a car that is now worth only $14,000.

  16. Re:Taxes... on When Play Money Becomes Real · · Score: 1

    I was quite supprised this year to see a section on my California state taxes for items purchased outside the state.

  17. Re:Interesting concept on Cell Phone-Controlled Game Invades Times Square · · Score: 1

    Considering the rate at which NY traffic moves, I believe it would be very possible wait your turn and play before you were out of sight of the billboard.

  18. Re:Review doesnt go far enough on Tom's Hardware Investigates Michael's Computers · · Score: 1

    I figure since Michael's Computers have been in business since 1986, that must have been the year I started using ME.

  19. Re:Review doesnt go far enough on Tom's Hardware Investigates Michael's Computers · · Score: 2, Funny
    How many people stopped respecting PC World (once upon a time highly respected) after they endorsed Windows Me?

    I have been using windows ME since 1986 and haven't had any prob l ;;sd2 e ;a$

  20. Re:Its all about the floppy disk on What Differentiates Linux from Windows? · · Score: 1
    And for extra fun, Windows boxes also usually default to the floppy having boot priority over the harddrive.

    Actually that is more of a motherboard BIOS issue than windows. If I accidentally put in my old dos boot disk in my floppy drive I get the dos prompt regardless of what OS I have installed.

  21. Re:assault rifles on Unreal Tournament 2004 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Why did the nice man at the gun store laugh at me when I tried to buy a SAW?

  22. Re:New and improved on Compensation for Bandwidth Costs is Extortion? · · Score: 1

    Of course it is improved. Din't you see the annimated .gif?

  23. Win 95 on Steam Update Shows FPS Gamer Stats · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Anyone find it interesting that 212 users are using windows 95?

  24. Re:remember folks... on Star Wars DVD Cover Art Leaked · · Score: 1

    You can't find it because a DVD of the original does not exist.

  25. Re:illegal? on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 1

    Or you could just go down to the bank and exchange it. The bank will periodicly ship out all the mutilated money in the branch to the treasurey.
