  1. uhh... on NASA Proposes Ending Voyager · · Score: 1

    isn't that like the oldest of old news; and possibly a dupe for dupes sake?
    This plan was on 5 other sites last month.
    Geez, get out and see the world, ya'll...

  2. someone grab my crutch on Wisconsin Governor Proposing Tax On Downloads · · Score: 1

    my god...

    is it me, or are politicians addicted to taxation?
    I thought my internet addiciton was bad; this is freaking ridiculous...

  3. once again... on Ohio Wants eBayers to Post $50k Bond · · Score: 1

    that crutch our governments (local, state, etc.) rely upon to fill a wallet:

    taxes

    Could it be that taxing everything is not the way to go? I certainly think so.

  4. Re:Maybe it's just me... on AMD Plans Simultaneous Desktop and Mobile Chip Releases · · Score: 1

    If they understood marketing they'd BEAT Intel is probably closer to the truth.

  5. nope, nope, nope... on Star Wars Sith Trailer and the O.C. · · Score: 1

    nothing to do with this release surprises me; not until I am sitting with my large drink and large popcorn at viewing time. This in NO WAY includes the obligatory PEE during the WORTHLESS ATTEMPT AT MARKETING called pre-movie ads. I do have a company provided cell phone to aid in my avoidance of these non-sensical portrayals of 'we have to make a buck' films. Nice try; I feel for you... NOT go pander on the streets for all I care. I've been poor before - I can prove it!

  6. about the turn down... on When Should You Quit Your Job? · · Score: 1
    I had a nice (fake) offer from a nice (small, 'family owned') company. I was working at Office Max at the time. This small Computer support company called me back the same day I dropped off my resume. They were talking travel, some overnights, travel pay, overtime, benefits, etc.; all the shams of an overblown ego. 'We'll call you on january 3rd to get you going!'. sure; whatever...

    That was December, 2004. Since then I've gotten a very nice job with a banking institution, where i am one of 3 that are the IT team. I have my own office, a nice laptop, company vehicle when I need it, bank holidays, sick time, benefits out the ass, and new challenges daily.

    I still haven't heard back on the other job, which doesn't surprise me...

  7. pay to play (but not that much) on Magnetic Stripe Snooping at Home · · Score: 3, Informative
    for the record, less expensive readers are available.
    I used one to snoop my cards and found some interesting information...

    Try this link: http://www.posguys.com/category.asp?catID=4

  8. Re:Not really free on The Return of Free Internet · · Score: 1

    if there are ads before, during, and after a movie or show, then why place products so prominently in said medium?
    In fact, why have ads in a movie theatre when there are product placements all through the film?

    Why not just start an ad channel; all ads all the time!

  9. The real answer is... on Who's Really Responsible In Online Banking Fraud? · · Score: 1

    It's clear that some industry people think users are to blame: http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2005/0204netusers.htm l?fsrc=netflash-rss
