    Thanks! Yeah, I haven't been posting a lot lately due to busy life and not enough time to see and post. :( At least I still stick with quality stuff.

    What is wrong with his pair of socks? They smell and look fine to me. I'd rather be barefoot/naked. :P

  7. I am the same. on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With a Fear of Technological Change? · · Score: 1

    I use Mutt, Tin, Windows XP Pro. SP3, analog speakers, analog bone conduction hearing aid (don't want digital with implants), Casio Data Bank (DB) 150 calculator watch, don't own a mobile phone, VCR to connect my desktop Windows PC to my 19.5" Sharp CRT TV from January 1996, PS/2 clicky keyboards and optical mice, etc. Why? Because they still work for me. I will upgrade when I need to replace them or whatever. It also helps to save money. I don't care about the latest expensive and buggy stuff. Frak them.

  8. iTunes replacement for Windows? on iTunes: Still Slowing Down Windows PCs After All These Years · · Score: 1

    I know they exist for older iDevices, but what about the newer ones like 6th generation iPod Nano?

  9. Re:Being a woman at RIT on 17-Year-Old Girl Wins Boston TV API Programming Contest · · Score: 1

    During my college days from 1994-1998, it was 3 (females) to 1 (males). And yet, I still didn't get a girlfriend, married, and am still a virgin today. :P

  10. Re:New phone every month? on The Days of Cheap, Subsidized Phones May Be Numbered · · Score: 1

    Same here. I still use a 19.5" Sharp CRT TV from 1/2006, VCR (only for connecting with a HTPC and DVR), Casio Data Bank (DB) 150 calculator watch, analog bone conduction hearing aid, analog speakers, dial-up modem (back up Internet when cable goes down), etc. They all work fine from. I don't need the latest stuff! I don't even own a mobile phone! Bah to tablets too.

    The problem is not everything are on the same services. Netflix doesn't always carry the latest episodes, movies, etc. :(

    For iCloud and tracking the Apple devices, isn't this connecting to wireless networks required?

  15. Re:that is a massive rip-off of my data allotment on Facebook To Introduce Video Ads · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I had the same problem. People are tired of IMs, IRC, chat, e-mails, etc. outside of Facebook. I refuse to use Facebook (did have it for about three weeks before being kicked out for using fake datas). :(

    I don't get why Hulu Plus still has ads for paying members, but then cable TV and others have ads too. Originally, they didn't! Lame. I doubt YouTube will remove ads for paid subscribers. :P

    Uh, my eye glasses and analog bone conduction hearing aid make me look like a complete dork (born as a dork too). :P

  20. Re:Fiction, not fact. on Bruce Schneier: Why Collecting More Data Doesn't Increase Safety · · Score: 1

    Which appropriate TV shows beside documentaries? :P

  21. Re:Power failures? on In Sandy-Struck NJ Town, Verizon Goes All Wireless, No Copper · · Score: 1

    Ah, that is why I cannot get DSL (20K ft.) and CONNECT at usually 28000 (highest is 31200, but super rare; in the past was 24000 like BBS days). Also, the line noises are awful for the modems. I see my external modems' error correction lights go crazy. On good connections, my already compressed downloads are at about 3 kB/sec. :(

I even use older stuff like my 19.5" Sharp CRT TV from January 1996, VCR (for connecting between computers, DTV Pal DVR, and TV) Casio Data Bank (DB) 150 calculator watch, analog bone conduction hearing aid model from 1994 (don't want digital with implants), no mobile phones, old computer parts (IDE/PATA HDDs, two HDTV PCI tuner cards from 2005, etc.), etc. They all still work for me. I will upgrade/replace them when needed. :)
