  1. Re:How can you justify still using SMS? on The True Cost of SMS Messages · · Score: 1

    He's correct about Verizon. You can call their customer service too. I did just that today to block text messaging and all the other data services I don't use. It's too bad about text messaging because in some cases it is kinda useful to me, but I absolutely will not pay a fee every time a spammer texts me.

  2. Re:We don't need this on Geekonomics · · Score: 1

    I mostly agree with you. The incentive is much less when you have a monopoly though.
    An increase in liability will just give God-damned tort lawyers like John Edwards another industry to pillage.

  3. Re: And here on First Evidence Of Under-Ice Volcanoes In Antarctica · · Score: 1

    My God Betty, you're right!

  4. At my first State of the Union speech on What Would You Do As President? · · Score: 1

    After thunderous applause upon my entry, I'd tell Congress to go fuck themselves. Then I'd quickly say the state of the union stinks to fulfill my constitutional obligations and walk out (quickly).

  5. The last time I was in a CompUSA on CompUSA To Close All Stores · · Score: 1

    A few years ago I went to return something fully within their policies. In the process they treated me like a criminal. It took plenty of work but I eventually got my money back. Never set foot in that store again. Good riddance CompUSA.

  6. Re:Welcome to 2084 on MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport · · Score: 1

    Ok fine I'll be different then. On my next flight, I'm gonna wear a crude looking circuit board that really is a bomb. So don't fucking piss me off.

    BTW: It's "Don't taser me Bro"

  7. Xenomorph !!!! on Some Moray Eels Have Two Sets of Jaws · · Score: 1

    Run away!!!

  8. No thanks on Apple and AT&T Announce iPhone Service Plans · · Score: 1

    The plans are $59.99/mo for 450 minutes, $79.99 for 900 minutes, and $99.99 for 1350 minutes, and all include unlimited data, 200 SMS messages, rollover minutes, and unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling. Any other standard AT&T service plan may also be used.

    I don't care if it came with unlimited blow-jobs. AT&T will never EVER see another dime of my money.

  9. Re:OK but ... on New Legislation to Combat Identity Theft · · Score: 1

    Looked at the new legislation for my home state of New Mexico. You have to pay again to lift the freeze. In my opinion a criminal will move on to an easier target if they have to pay out of their own pocket to open credit in your name.

    I think this WILL help.

  10. Re:Not Surprised on AT&T Dumps VOIP Customers · · Score: 1

    Amen. AT&T is one of the only companies I will never EVER do business with again.

  11. How about Mark Hamill on Harrison Ford Turned Down Han Solo Role · · Score: 1

    Bet he'd take $20mil to reprise his role.

  12. Re:Apple and iPod... on New iPod Owner Onslaught Overwhelms iTunes · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I recommend the Sandisk m200 series for those who want a mp3 player without all the extra features. I ripped all my cds and created a few playlists and now its all on my 4GB m260 with room to spare. Oh and it runs for 15+ hours on a single AAA battery.

  13. Re:Cause and effect on The Continuing American Decline in CS · · Score: 0

    Dear American Business(tm): You want technical people? Take legislative steps to protect their employment prospects.

    I agree, lets do it the French way.

  14. Re:Ad execs: read up! Blipverts! on Women Control the DVR · · Score: 0

    or about half if it's TBS.

  15. Re:Blank Reg on U.S. National Identity Cards All But Law · · Score: 0

    I agree with you on the riders.

    If memory serves me correct, I think Clinton got a line-item veto law passed which would in effect allow the president to veto these riders but let the rest of the bill pass. The Supreme Court struck it down as unconstitutional.

  16. Re:The US's Space Program on Energia Reveals New Russian Spacecraft · · Score: 0

    Well lets get cracking. How 'bout we start with Uranus.

  17. Re:Too bad... on Doom 3 Reaches Gold Master, Due August 5th · · Score: 0

    LOL! Thank you for this thread. It has lifted my rather gloomy attitude induced by working with my company's crappy design tools.

  18. Re:Who wrote Linux? on Who Wrote Linux? · · Score: 0

    It was Fred MacMurray DAMMIT!

  19. Re:Spokane and now New Mexico ? on Rio Rancho, New Mexico: 103 Square Miles of WiFi · · Score: 0

    Not out-of-the-way for the 75,000 who live there.

  20. Please!! on Online Plagiarist Sues University · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    There is no reason to discuss this kid. He should be killed.

  21. Re:Does the other light turn green just as fast? on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 1

    You'd hope that if the light is smart enough to figure out assington was speeding, then it would be smart enough to figure out he's slowing down or stopping before the green light is allowed.

  22. Re:Does the other light turn green just as fast? on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 1

    You'd hope that if the light is smart enough to figure out assington was speeding, then it would be smart enough to figure out he's slowing down or stopping before the green light is lit.
