    Pfftt... anyone could have thought of that!

    You're asking whether you can plug a printer into a Kindle? Do you even know what a Kindle is?

    To print eBooks??!? :P

  5. Re:life outside the walled garden on Microsoft Taking Apple's Walled Garden Approach For Metro Apps · · Score: 1

    Odd... I had the exact requirement. I did a Google search, read the reviews of the few hits, installed the one that seemed the most stable (llama), and it's worked no problem for months. I find it helps to search Google and/or reviews for your phone (Droid X, in my case) and verify people haven't had problems with it. It's pros and cons... there are going to be incompatibilities with the multitude of hardware options but then you get to have a lot of options for different people.

    When you smoke pot, the money goes to terrorists and the terrorists win. Why do you hate America and fund terrorists?

    Re-imagine it! Lister... now a gritty, edgy, cigar smoking, tattoo armed, blond babe. The cat can be a gruff, bald, alcoholic, XO who re-finds his wife. Cryton will still be a robot but, get this, look like a human. It can work, man!

  11. Re:Best on Verizon Finally Unveils Apple iPhone · · Score: 1

    Unlimited data is cool, but in the 6 months or so I've had my iPhone, I've never even come close to using the 2GB data limit. WiFi is so ubiquitous, even where I live out in the sticks.

    Interesting... I've had unlimited data from RoadRunner at home and haven't come close to using that limit either!

    You can no more ask them to do everything in PHP from now on than you can ask them to lick their own testicles.

    Clearly, in both cases, it would just be a matter of will, time, and practice.

  14. Re:Funny in summary on Economy Puts US Nuclear Reactors Back In Doubt · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Exactly. I'm surprised anyone thought this administration would actually let a reactor be built. It was just a throw away point to bring people to the Cap and Trade talks.

  15. Re:Well on Senate Approves the ______Act Of____ · · Score: 2, Funny

    And you should be thrilled about this. The House is now operating under PAYGO rules, which means that any new spending has to be offset by budget cuts or tax increases elsewhere.

  16. Re:Easier for denialists on New Photos Show 'Devastating' Ice Loss On Everest · · Score: 1

    How many of those scientists who "believe" are getting grants to study AGW? Or are researching for companies investing in "Green Jobs?" I'm just wondering... I have no information either way. It seems many assume that the people who disagree with AGW they have something to gain but but the agree'rs are all about the pure science. Many, many companies have something to gain if whole economies shift to "Green Energy" and you can be sure they are paying their scientists just like the oil companies.

    What if Apple made it so that only Apple approved programs could run on iPhones. Should they be sued in a heart beat?

    intelligent enough not only to understand the material but also to understand their audience

    It takes a whole lot more than raw intelligence to understand people. I have met plenty of folks who are wickedly smart but couldn't read body language or a facial expression if their life depended on it.

    Maybe we just don't care to read your dumb ass body language or facial expressions :o

    "If your project fails, it's likely to never get funded again."
    I WISH failed projects lose their funding. More likely, the government doubles down and throws more money at it.

  21. Re:A better, more old fashioned solution on Church Turns To Facebook To Find Priests · · Score: 1

    These days, one rarely hears much about the good works of the church...

    Is that because the church is not doing good works or that they are not being reported? I'm not defending the wrong doing in any way but the headline, "Priest in Pedo Probe" will beat, "Church feeds millions... just like last year" every time.

  22. Re:VCR owners revolt! on Comcast Disables VCR Scheduling In New Guide · · Score: 1

    errr... I have a stand-alone DVR and use this feature all the time. If it is what I'm thinking it is. I set my Phillips DVR to record at a certain time, go to my cable box's guide, and set the show to record. Guess I'm screwed and I haven't had a VHS tape in years.

    We /finally/ (as in the past couple years) get stand alone DVD boxes that play a common compressed format and they want to take that away??!? I'm not against progress but the reasons given seem lame to me. Especially when I have three DVD players bought expressly because they play AVIs

    "It is obsolete. It does not support modern container features like chapters..."

    My answer is, "so, the fuck, what?" Looks like 0.9.3 is my last upgrade until I change my DVD players.
