    ok I just had the belly laugh of the day ... +5 Funny

  2. Re:Interesting... on Clear Channel Goes Private and Streamlined · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Politics? ClearChannel banned the Dixie Chicks records after they spoke out against Bush.

    Donkey Kong cement factory level.

  4. Re:What is this doing on the first page anyways? on Windows Media Player 11 Released · · Score: 1

    Since there have been only 2 stories posted in the last 5 hours, it would seem that you are absolutely correct.

  5. Positive on Iran Caps Net Access to Keep West Out · · Score: 1

    I read an article recently about some major carding group whose servers were located in Iran. They had a quote from the leader boasting about the protection from the US government by locating in Iran. Reducing their traffic will be one positive from this, I suppose.

    The difference is that you pay for a satellite or cable subscription. It is not available for free over the public airwaves for everyone. First you must pay. If the latest foul-language music album is transported across state-line to get to my local record shop (yes it's an outdated analogy) will it be subject to your speech filter too? The FCC's job in controlling satellite and cable broadcasts is entirely technical and the content of said broadcasts is meaningless.

    It's not that hard, man:

    Windows: FOR %i IN (*.wav) DO lame -b 192 -h -m s %i
    Bash: for i in *.wav ; do lame -b 192 -h -m s ${i} `echo ${i} | sed s/.wav/.mp3/g` ; done

    ...just talk dirty to them. Ask them what they are wearing. If it's a girl, ask if she is wearing tights and whether she is menstrating just now. They won't be phoning you back ever again and it's not an obscene call as they dialed you. Everybody wins!!

    I do the same thing, however my twist is to repeatedly ask them "How much for sex?". They always hang up quickly.
  9. Re:Notes & Questions? on The State of DS Homebrew (it rocks!) · · Score: 1

    I am not spending $30+ to try out a game. I will try it first, THEN decide if I want to buy it.

    I believe you are right, but it has a scanning mode which acts similar to netstumbler, at least it displays networks as it finds them. I am not that knowledgeable with wifi, but I know if I drive by Burger King and have ds2key running, I can see the Burger King access point, it's channel, it's ssid, it's mac address, whether wep or wga are enabled, and the singal strength with ds2key.

    Yes, you are correct. I have a DS Lite with a Max Media Launcher and M3 Mini-SD with a 1 gig mini SD card. There is a (unfortunately) Win only utility that comes with the M3 for loading roms to the M3. Most things work, however I have not had success with SylphIRC. DS roms work great. I highly recommend the M3. The wardriving app DS2Key is alot of fun.

  12. $30 for something you can tape on 'Roll Your Own News' DVDs Now Shipping · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is like those advertisements at the end of PBS shows that charge $24.99 for a VHS tape of the show you have just seen. I always wondered who the hell bought that crap.

  13. Tagged Chairs on Why Ballmer Should Leave Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Waking up this morning and seeing this story tagged with "chairs" has made my Friday.

    F*** the political correctness BS. That's probably the single biggest reason America is declining as much as it is today.
