  1. My System on What Audio System Powers Your Home Theater? · · Score: 1

    Receiver and speakers are the most important part. A CD player is a CD player nowadays (for the most part), and most DVD players that support DTS and DD will be fine.

    I've got:

    - Sony 35" TV (KV35-S42)
    - Yamaha RX-V995 receiver, 100W/channel, with DTS and Dolby Digital, and 5-way posts
    - Klipsch SB-3's (my father has the KLF-30's, they're fantastic)
    - Toshiba SD-3109 DVD player
    - Old Yamaha CD player

    I highly recommend Klipsch, Polk, or B&W speakers. Whatever you do, stay away from Bose. They're complete garbage.

  2. Re:Isn't it interesting... on Tutoring A Child Prodigy? · · Score: 1

    First word, second sentence is "He" which suggests that the child is indeed male.

  3. Dead Poets Society on Tutoring A Child Prodigy? · · Score: 1

    While it is important to teach him math and related subjects, don't forget about liberal arts. If he becomes simply a tech tool he will have a very empty life. Take him to MOMA in NY, let him read philosophy books, give him an anthology of American literature. Teach him how to *think* first, and then fill him with knowledge later. Watch "Dead Poets Society". :)

  4. Re:What about Windows? on Linux -- Government Acceptance vs. Actual Use · · Score: 1

    You think that compatibility package is installed on a single gov't. machine? If it's not POSIX out of the box, and they're installing it out of the box and not modifiying it, then it's not POSIX compliant, is it?

    Of course, I didn't post this. Someone else did, although I did write it on ma-linux.

    you would be a lot better thinker if you thought about your own words rather than just spew out your random thoughts.

  5. Re:So?? BFD! on NetSol To Do Domain Name Auctions · · Score: 1

    I *DID* pay for them. The message was sent to *ALL* business customers. READ.

  6. Re:"i'm not happy about this" whiner on NetSol To Do Domain Name Auctions · · Score: 1

    Hey dumbass, maybe you should learn to read. It was sent to ALL business accounts, not deadbeats.

  7. I AM NOT A DEADBEAT --MERRELL on NetSol To Do Domain Name Auctions · · Score: 1

    LISTEN.

    I was not sent this because I'm a deadbeat. Stop freaking accusing me of not paying for my domain names. I am not a cybersquatter, I legitimately use those domains for separate things. I have always kept up on the payments. This message was sent to ALL business account holders. I repeat, I am not whining that I have to pay. I am upset because this means 1) that it makes it difficult or impossible for other registrars to use the domain, and 2) it will promote a new cottage industry of domain squatting.

  8. Re:Yellow on NetSol To Do Domain Name Auctions · · Score: 1

    Listen, this thing was sent to allllllll business account holders. This was not a warning message about a deadbeat domain. And my user info was right there, so it was not anonymous.

  9. Re:Maybe if you weren't a deadbeat... on NetSol To Do Domain Name Auctions · · Score: 1

    You assume that I was sent the message because I didn't pay up. Well, didn't anyone tell you that assumption is the mother of all f***ups?

    The message was sent to ALL business accounts. Just about EVERYONE got one....

    Sorry if I sound snappish. Ever since the post went up on /., I've been hearing that I'm an irresponsible deadbeat, which kinda ticks me off.

  10. Re:And the problem is?? on NetSol To Do Domain Name Auctions · · Score: 1

    I don't have any domains that expired. This was sent out to ALL business partners (read the post). Excuse me while I whip out a book and teach you how to read.

  11. Re:"consulting domain holders" on NetSol To Do Domain Name Auctions · · Score: 1

    I wasn't contacted because my domain was going to go up for auction; this was sent to ALL "Business Partners" (whatever the hell that means), which means ISPs for the most part, warning them about this new procedure.

    I'm just pissed that they presume that they can do this. It precludes other registrars from selling the domain names, and it creates a slimy microindustry, and could promote cybersquatting. It's a bad move.
