  1. Great idea on EFF Advocates Leaving Wireless Routers Open · · Score: 0

    Put down the bong and step away from the keyboard son.

  2. Re:Am I the only... on Digitally Filtering Out the Drone of the World Cup · · Score: 1

    Possibly.

  3. Re:smells like dissent on YouTube Blocked In Pakistan · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The only thing really wrong with your example is this is NOT what is happening. No one is in anyone's face and no one is shouting. No one is pissing an anything. If they were, it would make sense, but they aren't. It certainly appears that the Muslims are diligently searching for a way to be offended.

  4. Re:Its not rocket surgery... on Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule? · · Score: 1

    The only other advice I have is to cut out drinking anything besides water. Soda is especially bad for you. Anything with high fructose corn syrup in it (most anything you'd get at 7-11 or the like) is tough for your body to digest. If you are out of shape, working out is going to burn a lot of fat. That fat is stored garbage. Your body is going to be working hard to get rid of that garbage. Water will help that process.

    In my experience, this is great advice. You can take in an enormous number of calories in soft drinks, sugary coffee drinks etc..

  5. Re:Apple makes good hardware on The Open Source Design Conundrum · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually, just over half of the nipples are found on men. Check yourself.

  6. Re:Thank you for making my point! on NYC Wants to Ban Geiger Counters · · Score: 1

    There is always the possibility that he is right though. At least he had the courage to post as himself.

  7. Re:The feeling is mutual. on New Zealand Banks Demand a Peek at User PCs · · Score: 4, Funny

    Could I ask the name of the bank? I need to move my account.

  8. Nah on Could You Be Addicted to the Internet? · · Score: 1

    I can quit anytime. I really don't need this at all.

  9. Re:Integrity on Library Chief Criticized for Requiring Subpoena · · Score: 1

    "Ladies and gentlemen, What that librarian showed was something that's hard to find these days, integrity." Great comment. That seems to be the real issue here.

  10. Re:Layer 2 Protocols Run the Internet? on Mother of Internet Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    Spanning tree has nothing to do with routing. The following may be useful to anyone who would like a refresher on the topic: http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/sDefinition /0,290660,sid7_gci214602,00.html You may also want to check out the idea of 'time to live' (TTL) which is used for preventing routing loops.

  11. Re:Priorities on Lawmaker Revs Up Fair-Use Crusade · · Score: 0

    If your point is that $50k /yr is enough, YOU make want to 'go look it up'. I live in California. I can think of no major city here in which $50k/yr is enough to live, much less cover health insurance for a family. It IS a matter of priorities, but I know of no individual who has made the choice to drive a fancy car in lieu of health care insurance. You experience may be different.

  12. Re:Priorities on Lawmaker Revs Up Fair-Use Crusade · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I can only see three possiblities here: 1) You are stupid, 2) You are ignorant of the facts, 3) You are a generic troll, in which case all of the above applies.

  13. Re:I like GOTO! on Aspect-Oriented Programming Considered Harmful · · Score: 1

    Everyone has their dirty little secrets.

  14. Re:Learn it all for yourself. It's part of growing on What You'll Wish You'd Known · · Score: 1

    "Going to a four-year college and getting a degree really isn't all that important anymore." I think this perspective overlooks one of the most valid reasons to go to college: personal growth. Life isn't all about making money.

  15. Re:Speedy Limit on The Super Superhighway · · Score: 1

    No doubt, the plan to pay for it is with the fines collected from speeding tourists. Not too different from the present day.

  16. Re:bbc radio is broadcasting angry missives on Arthur C. Clarke Reports From Sri Lanka · · Score: 1

    I can see no evidence that "all you're concerned about is how the USA will be perceived". The sad reality is that the same kind of people who make such charges (i.e. you) later claim they are true because no one disputed them. Maybe a desire for truth is just an American thing though.

  17. Re:Slippery Slope on $1 Billion Awarded in Lawsuit Against Spammers · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. Sorry, but that seems to sum it up so well that no other words are required.

  18. Re:This helps? on FTC Defines Spam · · Score: 1

    "This is the biggest problem that the FCC faces. Actually getting people to report spammers, rather than simply deleting the e-mails." I am not so sure about that. I have reported spam religiously for the last yeat, but I receive more now than a year ago. I think the laws need some teeth, and some way of forcing the ISPs to actually DO SOMETHING. I have been recieving viruses from the same address withing the SBC network for months. I have reported them many times, but nothing happens. When this part of the problem is addressed, spam will slow down.

  19. Re:Two words: on Lycos Declares War on Spam Servers · · Score: 1

    "I think I'd rather help cure diseases than DDOS spammers" I would suggest that spam IS a disease.

  20. One important question on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 1

    Do you want SPAM or don't you?

  21. Re:More on sinks on Unexplained Leap In CO2 Levels · · Score: 1

    Thank you. You are doing such a good job telling me what I think and why I'm wrong that I sort of hate to intrude here. The point I was trying to make is simply that many times the truth is not evident in the numbers. You do a good job of pointing out many of the specifics. I would say you have considerable verbal skill. Hopefully you can direct your talents toward the illumination of the truth.

  22. Re:More on sinks on Unexplained Leap In CO2 Levels · · Score: 1

    This kind of reasoning could still get you a job with a tobacco company. The 'hard evidence' linking cigarettes to cancer just isn't there.

  23. Re:Used to work for Cisco on 3com to Compete with Cisco · · Score: 1

    I think there are some very good points here. There is a LOT more to success in the marketplace than just having a well-priced box. When you need it to work, Cisco stands behind it. I have worked with their tech support people for years and I would say there are few in the same league. We'll see if 3COM survives the encounter.

  24. Will it play Doom 3 on 96 Processors Under Your Desktop · · Score: 1

    Maybe this is what I have been waiting for?

  25. Re:Anyone else think this was politically motivate on Senator Blacklisted by No-Fly List · · Score: 1

    You must have me confused with someone else. I use the work rarely, and I know what it means. Do you need help?
