  1. Re:It's the bot net on Ubuntu Download Speeds Beat Windows XP's · · Score: 1

    I see what you did there

  2. dd-wrt on Typical Home Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 1

    DD-WRT says that for the past few months I have been uploading 60-70GB and downloading 50-60GB each month

  3. free on OMG Did U C What U R Paying 4 Texting? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I just emailed Sprint asking for free text messaging and got it. I have done this for about 10 extra things on my account for free. I have 500 free text messages a month and never used half

  4. none 0 nada on What RSS Feeds Do You Use? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    None, I have never seen the need for them. I have plenty of time to visit all the sites I view everyday.

  5. happened to me on How To Clean Up Incorrect Geolocation Information? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't know how to fix it, but I know that some ads (before I got adblock plus) thought I lived in a town about 25 miles from here but it was later fixed. I don't know what happened but it was weird seeing "Find sexy ladies in xxxxxx, oh" and it not being my current location.

  6. Gyration Mice and Keyboards on Long-Range Wireless Keyboard/Mouse? · · Score: 1

    Gyration Mice and Keyboards, they have models that go over 100' and they are tiny! I have the 30' version and it gets every bit of it, tiny little keyboard and wireless gyro/optical mouse, its awesome!

  7. Should have 100% bandwidth for everyone on Bell Canada Official Speaks Out On Throttling · · Score: 1

    An ISP should have at all times, 100% of bandwidth for everyone on the network at all times. They pay for 7Mbps they should get it 100% of the time, not this up to and throttling crap.

  8. Re:The real tragedy of the earthquake... on Earthquake In China · · Score: 1

    Don't know how anyone could have died since the quake didn't even spill any of the gold fish's water

  9. Re:Only one crash on XP SP3 Crashes Some AMD Machines · · Score: 2

    It's an Intel T7400, I was hoping that people would look it up, highest end when I bought it last year

  10. Only one crash on XP SP3 Crashes Some AMD Machines · · Score: 1

    Only had one problem on my Acer Laptop (TravelMate 8210) with SP3, it forgot that I had a wireless card, restarted and been fine since then (almost a week) so I'd say no problems for me

  11. GMAIL on 100 Email Bouncebacks - Welcome to Backscattering · · Score: 1

    I've used Gmail for years and had maybe 1 spam the whole time, now every few hours I have 2 or 3 in my SPAM folder. Don't like it at all.

  12. iTunes on TechNet Users Revolt Over Vista SP1 Unavailability · · Score: 1

    I have had a problem ever since installing SP1, when I press play after I first open iTunes, it freezes and does not play. I have to close the process and then open iTunes again, and then it works fine. I have reinstalled audio driver and iTunes and neither fix it, so I attribute it to SP1 not being very compatible with iTunes

  13. i loved my gameboy on Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made? · · Score: 1

    It never had any of these problems such as buttons breaking and vertical lines. I played it all the time, even had the SUPERBOY (battery pack, external speakers and magnifying glass) and nothing ever happened. It was a tank, I'm sure it still works, I sold it at a garage sale when I got my Gameboy Color, then my Gameboy Advance, then I sold them and gave up with Nintendo portables.

  14. Re:whats going on with Yahoo on Yahoo Music Shutting Down, Users Going to Real · · Score: 1

    I was using Flickr before it migrated and I liked that I could use my Yahoo user name and password there, but I did have a few pictures on Yahoo pictures, but nothing more than profile pictures that I just erased. Flickr is much more powerful and for photo buffs like me

  15. Re:crap crap crap on Yahoo Music Shutting Down, Users Going to Real · · Score: 1

    plus, there was just an article on digg where real was considered badware: http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/006421.html

  16. crap crap crap on Yahoo Music Shutting Down, Users Going to Real · · Score: 1

    I have used Yahoo Launchcast plus and then migrated to the Yahoo Music Engine (now Jukebox) since they were started and this just sucks. I never wanted Real. Seeing that there are still thousands of people complaining about the migration from MusicMatch to Yahoo Jukebox, I think this is going to be a major problem and I surely hope that the price does not increase. I remember when it used to be 55 a year and now its near 70, I am not willing to pay any more. This sucks!

  17. nice list on Pre-20th Century Gadgetery · · Score: 0, Redundant

    nice list, some cool tech there

  18. don't get do-overs in life on ACLU of Ohio Sues To Block Paper Ballots · · Score: 1

    People need to take the extra second to make sure that they did not make any errors. You don't get second chances in life for many things. On school work, for example, you don't get a do-over, if you screw up, it's your fault, all you need to do is check to make sure you don't mess up. I live in Ohio, just south of Cleveland, and I think the paper ballots with optical scanners are fine, I don't punch the wrong hole and if I do... I guess I shouldn't really be voting. The explanation on the ballots is so high that if you screw up, it's because you are dumb

  19. scared for earth on Mars Asteroid Impact More Likely Than Before · · Score: 1

    I am fearful for Earth if anything is coming near us... since they can't even for sure estimate if it will hit us a month from impact.

  20. Re:PC Load Letter on What's the Worst Technical Feature You've Used? · · Score: 1

    My LJ 4+ is amazing still.

  21. Re:Realtek HD Audio exists on a lot of PCs... on .ANI Vulnerability Patch Breaks Applications · · Score: 1

    So THAT is why I am getting this illegal exception error since restarting my computer today. I have an Acer Travelmate 8210 and it has he realtek HD audio. Now, what to do to get it to work again. Grr microsoft, test things out before you force patched down our throats! I use firefox and therefore don't have to worry about .ani corrupted files anywaya!!!

  22. Re:Why is the IDrive confusing? on Death of the Button? Analog vs. Digital · · Score: 1

    congrats! i agree with what you say here

  23. 2007 isn't needed on Why "Upgrade" To Office 2007 · · Score: 1

    .docx is not a nice file format. Yah, the program has a steep learning curve, I couldn't find anything that I needed, plus, even with 512MB of RAM it runs slow/like crap. Its just a pretty version of Office with crappy default file format.

  24. Re:Kinda hard to believe on Acer May Be Bugging Computers · · Score: 1

    totally had a PC almost identical to that, I think it was 133Mhz though, 1.2GB hard drive. Acer worked fine and I am currently looking for a Acer laptop

  25. tv shows illegal? on Piracy Outstripping Legal Video Sales? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why is downloading TV shows illegal? They are broadcast for free on the tv anyway, and I just fast forward at 5X through the commercials on my DVR, so I don't see them anyway. Why are they pissy about tv shows being bad to download, oh no! someone might actually watch their show! I agree about porn being up there, its because its expensive and not at common rental places or stores
