    WRONG! *BZZZZZZZZZT*

    Both copper and silver are better conductors. Gold does conduct better than CORRODED copper or silver though, and since it doesn't corrode as easily...

    Thanks for playing on slashdot!

    Yeah, and I'm sure they won't do that whole "watch once and pay to reuse" bit... Thanks, I'll stick to buying a hard copy I can library... just like I still do with my music. Of course, I'm into movies (and music) that is interesting for more than a brief time. I'm sure everyone d/l'ing Britney on Itunes will be fine getting their copy of "Crossroads," or whatever other piece of crap, this way.

    What about subtle sarcasm, actually intended to miss some people. To me, the glaringly obvious is much less funny than something one has to think about. Granted, the original post wasn't this, it was simply cruel and in poor taste... which also has its place. Of course, I like life without training wheels... but your way is probably good too!

    You're right, why go grasping at straws like this when there are so many obvious things that really are his fault! ...Back on topic...
    I'm with Shakrai though. I've noticed a pattern around here with people closing their minds to facts because they like an idea. Like the prevailing "its-open-source-it-has-to-be-better" attitude. This isn't intended to be flamebait... I use open source programs whenever they do the job better (which they often do), and when VoIP is as convenient to use as everything else, I'll be there too, but I'm not the guy to waste time and money just to be ahead of the curve.

    Absolutely, but in the Dalles, $60k - well sorry it isn't "a bloody awful lot of money" in american dollars - but it is definately a VERY decent living wage in a place like that. That $350k would buy you a really nice house with a healthy chunk of property out there. Plus it won't take you six hours to commute across town like King county.

  13. Re:Clarification: on California Wants GPS Tracking Device in Every Car · · Score: 1

    Here's the outcry for all of that shit. No, I'm not OK with prison guards and cops that do these kinds of things. I can't watch an episode of "COPS" without coming un-fucking-hinged at all the abuse of authority, but at this point, your average american seems to think that cops have the right to put a jack-boot in the ribs of any suspected criminal in the interest of "public safety." The sad part is, I'm betting the abuse over there gets worse before the war is over, but the media reports it less and less. After all, people in this country are pitifully lethargic about their outrage these days.

  14. Re:Clarification: on California Wants GPS Tracking Device in Every Car · · Score: 1

    Its sad. I call myself a democrat, because I work union, and the Republican party definately acts ANTI-union.

    Other than labor issues, my platform is pretty much simple. Pro-rights. Gun rights -yes, abortion rights - yes, lets legalize drugs, prostitution, get the Homeland Security Department's finger out of my asshole, roll back the Mothers against Anyone Having Fun based DUI legislation a ways, so on, so forth. Thats why both parties PISS ME OFF.

    Like I say, I vote dem because thats where my money is. All the other points are moot if I can't make a decent living, and I see a direct cause-effect relationship via a big hole in my wallet when the Republicans take controll.

    On the Kerry thing, to call him a war criminal is equally an indictment of most everyone who was serving in Vietnam at that point. If you want to place responsability, it should go to the highest ranking officer aware of such actions at the time, but again... pretty much everyone there. You may have served in the Army, but I'll wager it wasn't during a period that ugly. "What orders to question," shit, no offence man, but I know 'Nam vets who would come unglued just hearing you say those words. Also, our current actions aren't exactly spotless either. I think by the time all the craziness gets done in Iraq, the moral high-ground will be pretty hard to find!

    I .... ah whats the use, like I'm gonna suddenly convince you to forsake the Republican party when I can barely get behind the Dems anymore...

    OK the short form...

    Bush is a jackass - personal opinion based on countless actions

    Kerry is SLIGHTLY less of a jackass - although, calling him a war criminal is purely uncalled for. I believe it was decorate war HERO, who went on to (GASP!) protest the war.

    Oregon politics ARE a little fucked - have you been anywhere else? We ain't got the market cornered!

    But back on topic, I'd just LOVE to see them try to get me to accept one of these in my truck! Mudflaps - gone, Cat-converter - gone, large-quantities-of-sheet-metal - gone, oh but lemme put that gps thingamajimmer on here! Lets see how it handles the next swamp I drive through!
    Just so no one panics, this isn't a daily driver, its a low-road-mileage toy.

  17. Re:Appropriate use on GPS-Enabled Criminals In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    Personally, I find this a little too invasive to LIKE the idea, but I've had a few friends that weren't quite up on the finer points of legality.

    That said, I can't find any legal reason that this isn't valid. It pushes the limit right to the edge, but doesn't step over.

    Much more legitimate than the bit about trying to use GPS bugs planted on cars without a warrant because it isn't "direct observation."

    What worries me here is that everyone is arguing about the invasivness of this (don't get me wrong, it IS invasion of privacy of the worst kind), but no one is considering how dumb the idea is in the first place! Punishing people for buying fuel efficient cars? What a load of shit! You know this one has been proposed by people who drive SUV's the size of aircraft carriers.

    I'm not a small car person. I buy larger more comfortable vehicles, and I buy more gas because of it. It is worth it to me. People that are willing to cram themselves into a Metro to save money should sure as hell be allowed that choice!
