  1. Re:oh i see thats not considered shareware on Trumpet Winsock Creator Made Little Money · · Score: 2

    I use 7-zip for this purpose, however there's also a Windows version of Info-Zip if you'd prefer that.

  2. Re:Unnoticed by design on Has the Glory Gone Out of Working In IT? · · Score: 1

    I wish I was compared to a plumber more. They're more respected and often better paid.

  3. Re:So what? on Wikipedia Bans Church of Scientology · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yes, they're using the extension TorBlock to do this.

  4. Re:Just the beginning on In The US, Email Is Only For Old People · · Score: 1

    A lot of states have "at-will" employment where you can easily get fired for something like this, although it benefits the employees too since they can quit at any time.

  5. Re:even more outrageous on Does Your Employer Still Use SSNs? · · Score: 1

    It was pretty bad when my college gave out email accounts a while back. They used a digit, your initials, and the last four digits of your SSN as your username. So careless...

  6. Re:Hi, my name is Lizzy Fair on Data Theft and Corporate Irresponsibility? · · Score: 1

    Tax returns are for individuals here, too. Here's Form 1040 which has the entry for dependents and their SSNs. The exact amount is derived from Form 2441.

    As for getting discounts from having children in bulk, I doubt the benefits received would outweigh the costs of maintainance for said children. Welfare, on the other hand...

  7. Re:Hi, my name is Lizzy Fair on Data Theft and Corporate Irresponsibility? · · Score: 1

    If you claim your children as dependents on your tax return over here, you need to enter in their SSNs as well.

  8. Re:I agree with 80% of him on PSP Devs Should Pony Up · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, load times are ridiculous in some games, there was a video of the PSP version of Smackdown vs. Raw where it took almost 7 minutes to load. It got removed, but there's another video where someone has time to play another game while waiting for it to load.

  9. Re:You must have missed this part on U.S. IT Hiring Increases Despite Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    you can get into a CSU easily enough though.

  10. Re:Is this guy joking or what ? on PlayStation 3 May Play Too Much · · Score: 1

    the N64 was too long ago, but NES/SNES weren't? The N64 didn't come with a game though.

  11. Re:sounds like 'on deck' for the tv show on Family Guy's Stewie to Host Talk Show · · Score: 1

    They did 'all your base' in Futurama already. But, I suppose it's only a matter of time before Family Guy copies stuff from them too.

  12. Re:Online banking on Firefox Moving On From SSL 2.0 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mozilla isn't really in a position to be telling banks what to support. The banks will just block them out again if their browser doesn't do what they want. (Yes, I know, you can spoof your user agent string, but not everyone will do this)

    In the past, it's been the other way around, they had to support autocomplete=off (an IE tag) due to insistence from banks: (bugzilla link)
