    old canard parrotted by web quacks who won't learn new tricks

    A duck (in French), parrots, ducks again, and an old dog.

    Have you been hanging out at zoo.pl?

  2. Re:I want this URL on .NAME at a Crossroads · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I think there's prior art.

  3. Re:just what we don't need... on SBC Considering Buying DirecTV · · Score: 1

    As for me, I'm now in a baby-bell free zone, and love it.

    Whoa. How did you manage that?

  4. Re:Consider the source. on PATRIOT II Legislation Leaked · · Score: 1

    No, you're missing my point. I mean that all we can see is this document "obtained by the Center". Can we be sure that it's accurate?

    If they're a reputable group, I'll believe them. But that's what I'm asking - are they? It's important to check your sources.

  5. Consider the source. on PATRIOT II Legislation Leaked · · Score: 1

    The only evidence we have is something published by the Center for Public Integrity. Are they reputable? Do they have an agenda?

    I'm not familiar with this organization. Could someone reply who is?

  6. Re:Washington State already has it on Do-Not-Email Registries? · · Score: 1

    But does it work?

    First post?

  8. Re:Don't they already??? on Websites Complaining About Screen-Scraping · · Score: 2, Funny

    You are aware that AOL, Netscape, and Mozilla are the same people, right?

  11. Re:M is far away from O on Asterix and Mobilix Redux · · Score: 1

    Seriously. I'm a C programmer and I find it hard to type the word "print" without adding a silent f at the end.

    Doc: Great Scott! The only thing powerful enough to take up that much bandwidth is a link from Slashdot!

    Marty: A what?

    Doc: A link from Slashdot! Unfortunately, you never know when or where it's ever gonna strike!

    Marty: We do now.

  16. Sarah on Top of the Crops 2002 · · Score: 4, Funny

    in the Sarah desert

    Sarah, a stark beauty, hotter than you might believe, has always left a dry taste in my mouth due to her hostility toward men. Once fertile, now barren, she drifts aimlessly in the wind, never looking quite the same the next time you see her.

    You, MonkeyBoyo, are a poet. But maybe I'm biased (see sig).

  17. MFC for cross platform? on Cross-Platform GUI Toolkits (Again)? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Isn't that like a bar that plays both types of music: country and western?

    Sorry, have to go finish these TPS reports.

  19. Re:Why the '1' ?? on 11 Digit Dialing Comes Home to New York · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's a good point.

    OT: Before I found your interstates list a few years ago, I had thought I was the only roadgeek. Good work, and thanks for introducing me to that crowd. I now post as "Ubermonkey" on MTR sometimes.

  20. Re:Why the '1' ?? on 11 Digit Dialing Comes Home to New York · · Score: 1

    Just outside of Boston (508) we have ten-digit dialing but eleven if it's toll. When someone gives me their 508 number, I don't know whether I should add a 1 or not. You can tell based on location, but what is the "location" of a cell phone? Guess incorrectly, and I get that horrid loud triple-tone and have to try the other. It pisses me off.

  22. Re:Bad idea - You can't be serious! on Swiss Town Holds First Internet Vote · · Score: 2, Insightful

    >>Whats to keep an abusive husband from forcing his wife to vote his way.
    >Nothing. Other than the laws designed to protect wives from abusive husbands in general. i.e. What's to protect her from being beat up nomatter how she votes?

    >>Whats to stop Unions from setting up there own Internet connected voting places where they can stand over peoples shoulders.
    >Nothing. What's to stop unions from sending a couple of goons to stand outside the polls and remind you about the union stance and imply they might be checking your results?

    Lying. In both of these cases you can vote for Alice and tell the husband/union you picked Bob. The original poster makes the point that anyone can observe your vote with Internet voting.
