  1. Re:Bit of a waste, surely? on Got Spyware? Throw out the Computer! · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I fix computers for a living. At the place I work for, spyware and virus removal is a $45.00 charge. Reinstall of operating system is $65.00. So please tell me how $400.00 is cost effective.

  2. Re:Finally on Online TV May Be IPTV's First Step · · Score: 1

    So, let me get this straight, I have to first have basic cable to watch tv over the internet?

    That's pretty fucking dumb. That's like needing a long distance plan to get VoIP.

  3. Finally on Online TV May Be IPTV's First Step · · Score: 1

    I've been waiting for this. I'm kind of on a limited budget, and DSL is a lot cheaper than cable, all expenses included (barebone phone line as opposed to basic cable). Still though, sometimes you just want to sit down and be entertained by tv shows.

    If they can offer this at a reasonable price, I'm all in for it.

  4. Re:Outstanding on Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, One thing's for certain, I am definatley NOT getting Longhorn, unless they make some major changes. I am very pleased with my Samsung Syncmaster 955DF, and am also content with my hard drive not 'automatically defragging in the background'. Yes, Microsoft, I know how to fucking make a schedule for defragmenting.

    Please, Microsoft, leave maintenence to the users. It's why I have a job. So:

    1. Don't take my ability to use my current monitor away from me.
    2. Don't take my gaming performance away from me by defragging my drive all the fucking time.
    3. Don't take my paycheck away from me.

    You know, you ever think that they could be doing very well in their job, and are just preparing to ask for a wage increase?

    It's called research. It makes you not look like a fool or an asshole.

    Don't forget the heavier bands, Those are the ones I feel have the most technical ability. Just to name a few:

    Dillinger Escape Plan (Tabs)

    There's plenty more, but I have to leave for work now.

    The Model M's with the quick disconnect cable? I've got mine. Actually I think they allow for the fastest typing possible, but I'm not sure. Anybody want to confirm this? There's probably mod points in it for you.

    My brother had a cell phone which has now become my cell phone. My brother went to jail later, and for some reason I got his cell phone. After a year or so he tried to get the same cell phone back, but Alltel informed him that they were no longer allowed to sell that model because it did not have a GPS locating device.

  25. Re:120 days.... on VoIP Providers Given 120 Days to Provide 911 Service · · Score: 1

    All newer cell phones have a GPS locator embedded in them. I've yet to see a VoIP phone with a GPS locator.
