  1. Re:Evidence? on UK Proposal To Restrict Internet Pornography Sparks Row · · Score: 2, Informative

    Perhaps you might like to read about Ted Bundy.
    I said Ted, not Al.


    I looked into that and found him stating this...., while pornography didn't cause him to commit his crimes, the consumption of violent pornography helped "shape and mold" his violence into "behavior too terrible to describe."

    so the moral of the story the guy was already a nut and would of done it anyway.

    You are wrong. Why do you want some highly trained indian whos an expert at whatever field to crawl through mud for 4 years?

    You do know the military has other jobs then crawl through mud, like run/operate a computer network (what I did).

  3. Why? on Ask the MMOG Money Traders · · Score: 1

    Why do you think this will eliminate the middle man? They will now just have a set of prices to beat and offer 30% cheaper then the other company.

  5. Re:Well, it's Canada on Can a Blogroll Be Defamatory? · · Score: 1

    One of the differences up here from the American system is that if (and I hope, when) Mr Crookes loses this case, then he can look forward to paying the costs of the defendants.

    Usually that acts as a strong deterrent against frivolous lawsuits. I guess it doesn't always work, but it'll be nice to see the big fat bill forthcoming.


    I thought it was the same way in American Courts as well?

  6. I don't think this would go over well..... on RIAA Seeks Royalties From Radio · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm just hoping maybe.... the judges will know what the hell radio is and realize and understand exactly what the RIAA is doing and not get confused/persuaded other ways by some techno-speak in the past.

  7. Re:Hmmm. on Hybrid Cars No Better than 'Intelligent' Cars · · Score: 1

    The real problem is citys though, when you use a Hybrid in a city it makes a huge diffrence. I don't doubt that there will be intelligent roads for these cars in citys in the future but I doubt it will be anytime in my lifetime.

    Maybe companies should understand that secure encryption is impossible when you have several thousand geeks running around with a computer, no social skills, and way too much idle time on their hands.

    So what your saying is the MPAA should hire us all escorts.......I like it

  17. Re:Maybe they can make an easier distribution on Ubuntu Linux for Non-Geeks · · Score: 1, Redundant

    "...painless installation..."

    I take you haven't install Ubuntu lately? It Couldn't be easier. Easier than Windows and miles faster (esp if you need to format a new hard drive). I have installed both many times.


    Yes because having my monitor not work at instatlion, having to get .mp3 working, having to install my video card drivers, and getting my sound work all from terminal is painless....

  18. Re:It's not.... on Comcast Lying About Vonage · · Score: 1

    No, they actually use a separate channel from the internet channels.

    I know that time warner does this as well not exactly sure if comcast does it, but I can't imagine they would be that much diffrent from one cable company to another.

  19. It's not.... on Comcast Lying About Vonage · · Score: 1

    AFAIK Vonage is not as good as some of the ISP's VOIP because they provide a separate network for their VOIP packets.

  21. Re:wow. on Microsoft Sues and Gets Sued · · Score: 1

    I also bought a computer to my girlfriend in 2000. It was a WinME version, probably the worst Windows ever at the very bottom of the software quality scale, on a cheapo "bottom of the range" laptop. And it is also still kicking and still quite usefull. Actually it is even more usefull than before because we are using it to play music/movies in the bedroom over the wireless, what was not its purpose before.

    You bought a computer for your girlfriend running Windows ME? and she didn't leave you? She is clearly not a geek

    He recently paid $60 for the newest "upgrade" (last year!), but the thing is still written in TP, and still cannot be made to print to anything other than LPT1

    If your talking about windows you can use the net use lpt1: //computername/printer name to make a network or USB printer print just like it was LPT1, I have to do it all the time for crappy military dos applications. (btw you do need to share the printer out if its a USB printer)

  25. Re:This doesn't solve the original problem on Ad-supported Textbooks Are Here · · Score: 1

    Well, in Russia a lot of hardback textbooks cost about $1-$2, with the exception of about $15 for really large or well-made ones. What's more, a lot of technical books (such as O'Reilly, Wrox) cost two to three times cheaper than the original English version. And they're all legal!

    No kidding I often buy my text books from ebay because usally you can get the India version (which say not to be sold in the US) for about 1/20 of the price granted its a paperback and printed on newspaper like paper but hell, why can't they sell text books like that in the US o thats right $$$$....In my eyes it is just like in China where they sell cheaper DVDs because piracy is so common.
