    Blame the Free Staters, IMO. The crazies from every state moved to NH.

    I was on vacation in Tampa, FL, and was almost run over by someone with a New York license plate.

    And I've driven through Albany a number of times (going to the Pepsi or whatever it's called now). Nobody there knows have to drive.

    It's not that they "had to do too much" it's that they decided to crank up their preaching to 11.

    There is a difference between the discussion at the link you provided and a gamer profile behind a terms of use agreement.

    Driving in MA would actually be nice if we could get rid of all the drivers east of Worcester, everyone from New York, and all the Vermontards.

    If I leave the door to my home open and come home to find that my things are missing, I was an idiot for leaving the door open.

    Well, considering that OS X and Linux are on something like 15% of all computers and the users don't use any anti-virus because they don't "need" it...

    I've purchased games I wanted through Steam instead of pirating them simply because it was easier to get it through Steam.

    Slashdot uses these fluff pieces to inflate THEIR ad revenue. The more people reply and bitch about TFA, the more money /. makes from ads.

    "The term Deltic (meaning in the form of the Greek letter Delta) is used to refer to both the Deltic E.130 opposed-piston high-speed diesel engine designed and produced by D Napier & Son, and the locomotives produced by English Electric using these engines, including their demonstrator locomotive named DELTIC and the production version for British Railways, who designated these as (TOPS) Class 55."

    For a train your English is quite good.

  17. Re:Chiropractors are quacks anyway on Another Attempt At Using the Courts To Suppress an Online Review · · Score: 4, Informative

    For non-back related things, I'll admit they're frauds. But for someone with back problems, the treatment feels pretty good. I don't know if it's doing anything long term or if it's just a massage paid for by my insurance, but it helps with the pain.

  18. Re:Prosecute the parents on 6-Year-Old Says Grand Theft Auto Taught Him To Drive · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you were going to be attacked by someone at a distance of 10 yards and they had a gun with 50 rounds, it would suck. But if you also had a gun, they'd be a lot less likely to try to attack you.

    " Today I was shocked to find a package waiting for me at home from Best Buy"

    Looks like Best Buy didn't share the information with anyone. Looks to me like Samsung asked BB to send out the updates to everyone who bought the player, and they did so without sharing that information with anyone else.

    "Nor are you allowed to prevent mothers from breastfeeding."

    Yeah, you can. Pretty easily, too. It's called 'asking them to leave.'

    "the needs of the society as a whole overrule your control over your property."

    I'm sorry, but I thought I lived in the United States of America where my property is mine. The 'needs of society' my Aunt Fanny.

    There's also an application that does a little bit of magic while you're booting to automatically select unsigned driver mode every time you reboot.

  25. Re:You missed the point. on 32bit Win7 Vs. Vista Vs. XP · · Score: 1

    The average user isn't upgrading XP to Vista or 98 to XP for that matter. The average user doesn't need to upgrade their OS until they get a new computer.

    And if they knew enough about computers to want to upgrade their OS, they'd already know enough to be backing their important data up, or at least know how to do that for when they do their upgrade.
