  1. Re:So much for TiVo on TiVo Starts Testing "Pop-up" Ads · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You know, it doesn't change how long it takes to fast forward whatever you were fast forwarding through. It's not like they are increasing how long you have to look at advertising. If if took you 10 seconds to fast forward through the commercials before it will still take you 10 seconds, even with the new advertising. I don't really see it as interferring with my viewing.

  2. Re:even scarier on TSA Lied About Protecting Passenger Data · · Score: 1

    In general I agree. I just felt that the parents example was poor and offered them a chance to expand upon their thoughts. I have seen child car seat instructions and found them adequate to perform a proper installation. Knowing when to use more advanced vocabulary is as important as having that vocabulary.

    Do you think car seat instructions could be made better by making them more complex?

    Then why do birds like to eat seeds?

  5. Re:No more sticks? on Yahoo Ups Mail to Match Google's Gig · · Score: 0

    Actually many corporations do not allow access to outside email systems. USB sticks only continue to get MORE popular in the business world, you can't tell your customer that you need to access your Yahoo account to show them the presentation you're bringing.

  6. Re:My solution on Credit card signatures: Useless? · · Score: 0

    I also have tried writing SEE ID in the signature block, but without a signature and that worked more often than not until one day a cashier told me "Your card is not valid unless signed". I looked on the back and found this to be true, once I added my signature to the box my notation to SEE ID was ignored.

    That's interesting, thank you for taking the time to respond. It's hard to think differently about something when you have had a particular opinion for a long time, even if the opinion was never truly yours but adopted because of popular opinion. I'm sorry if any of my earlier comments have offended anyone and I will try to hold a more open mind in the future.

  8. Re:He paid for it already on P2P (More) Legal in France · · Score: 0

    So, to restate this another way, if you don't want to pay the full retail price for a product you can just pay the price of some blank media and that's okay? Is it alright then to buy a DVD, take it home, copy it, and then return the original for a full refund?

    I'm guilty. But tell me, why do you think it is that so many people are more anti-French than anti-other EU countries?

    He had to steal it first to write it to the plastic that he paid the media tax on.

  11. Re:Logic jump on P2P (More) Legal in France · · Score: 0

    So basically, it's okay to steal as long as you don't share what you've stolen with anyone else.

    Having run out of other options France is surrendering to it's own citizens now.

    I'm sure eBay's fleet of lawyers know all about it and must have figured it would never pass so why bother making a big deal of it.

  16. Re:Yeah - So Who's Lovin' It? on OpenOffice.org 2.0 Preview · · Score: 1

    It almost always makes sense to "pay now" rather than "pay later" because paying later always comes with a higher price. But it's apparent, just looking at the credit industry, that "pay later" is very popular because it is easier than "pay now".

  17. Re:Yeah - So Who's Lovin' It? on OpenOffice.org 2.0 Preview · · Score: 1

    So when it comes down to it for a company to make a choice do they pay the cost of an MS Office license (which probably comes discounted and preinstalled on the pc they just bought) or pay the cost of a week of training? Open Office fans like to shout that it's free, but to a business it is not free at all.
