    Chris Crocker, is that you?

  2. What About My Own Server? on Federal Judge Says E-mail Not Protected By 4th Amendment · · Score: 1

    So what happens to people who run their own mailservers? Do they get 4th Amendment protection since they're in physical control of the server and its data?

  3. We Had This Before... on iPod Fee Proposed For Canada · · Score: 1

    What is most important of all is that the CPCC successfully did this before in 2003 and then the courts ruled against it a year later.

    For reference:

    The corporate shills from TFA make it sound like this is a brand new idea that's never been tried before...

  4. Re:Causality on Quantum Setback For Warp Drives · · Score: 1

    No - the moon is not going to crash into us, the tidal forces are robbing the earth of rotational velocity and in fact moving the moon to higher orbits. That's why in about 600 million years we're not going to have any total eclipses of the sun anymore.

  5. Re:I've been patiently waiting for 35 years. on Flying Car Passes First Flight Test · · Score: 1

    And it ended much the same way as Prometheus himself: splattered on a rock with a hungry bird pecking at the poor bastard's liver.

  6. Re:159357 popular with lefties? on Passwords From PHPBB Attack Analyzed · · Score: 1

    No left-handed person, myself included, would use the mouse with his left hand for the simple reason that a goodly number of mice are shaped to fit a right hand so it would be ... impractical to get used to the ambidextrous mice and then encounter a right-handed only mouse and try to use it in the left hand.

    Much better to just use the right hand and be ready for any situation.

  7. More information about ACTRA on Canadian Groups Call For Massive Net Regulation · · Score: 1
    ACTRA is the Canadian equivalent of the American "union", AFTRA - the performers' rights society for actors in Film, Television, and Radio.

    From the back of my membership card:

    "ACTRA is a national organization that represents the interests of professional performers in Canada's recorded media and bargains collectively on their behalf."

  8. Re:Hypocrites on Annual Video Game Report Card Is Positive, For Once · · Score: 1

    I've founded the Media Institute for Life and Family. Lots of single moms have signed up so far and I'm helping them through their time of need with very pleasing results.

    Ranks up there with Gigabit Optical Archival Technology Second Edition. That thing, according to the spec pictures I saw looked like a real pain in the ass. Sure looked like it could hold a lot though.

    And if you ARE sharing Barry Manilow you definitely will be getting some flack. And not just from the RIAA!

  15. Re:It happened before. on Best Buy Customer Gets Box Full of Bathroom Tiles Instead of Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    It's only fair that if they reserve the "right" to inspect your purchases on the way out, you have the right to verify that you're receiving what you paid for while in the store.

  16. Re:There is no "Off" ? on Turned Off iPhone Gets $4800 Bill from AT&T · · Score: 1

    Do you automatically communicate with others when you are 'sleeping'? If by "communicate with others" you mean "offgas incessantly" and by "sleeping" you mean "in a reclined position on the sofa" then yes, I would say my brother does communicate while sleeping. And effectively at that.

    Not to mention the fact that if you somehow got the doors open, activating a parachute when you're going mach .78 can't possibly help your survival rate...

    Quote: "A good customer service rep could probably find a way to fix this situation without having it get blasted all over the internet, which I assure you his boss is NOT HAPPY about."

    You'd have a point there if he had a boss but as Mr. Jandreau eloquently points out, "I am the manager of all of Customer Service. There is no one higher than me that you will speak with."

    Apparently Customer Service University has slipped in its enrollment standards...

  20. Frosty Hardison's Comments on Global Warming Only a Theory, Says School Board · · Score: 1
    I was trolling the comments of the Seattle newspaper that posted the story and a loooong way into it a person who claims to be Frosty himself responds to the comments made about him:

    "Posted by FHardison at 1/11/07 9:20 p.m. Hello, this is Frosty E Hardison. This is typical. All you can see is a snapshot of a persons life and you can make these comments? As with any interview, an entire 45 minute conversation is boiled down to a three sentence of sound bites or a blurb that only exerpts the most abject sensationalistic thing the interviewee has to say - to sell a newspapaer. If you would REALLY be interested in what was said in the interview - I took better notes on the subject." Sourced at Seattle P-I - comment #112698

    Frosty's notes don't paint him in much brighter colors than the 3 sentences posted by the original reporter I'm afraid...

  21. Re:Buy Board Games That Encourage Cooperation on 2006 Board Games Gift Guide · · Score: 1

    If you're looking for a cooperative game then why not try Arkham Horror from Fantasy Flight Games? It's your group versus the game itself and you all need to pool your energy and resources to stop the Great Old One from manifesting itself and destroying Arkham (and by extension the world). It's based on the Lovecraft mythos and is ridiculously fun to play. A bit of a challenge to learn but once you've played it a couple times you'll get the hang of a truly amazing game.

  22. Re:A few months ago I asked a question.... on US Citizens To Require ''Clearance'' To Leave? · · Score: 1

    The Iron Curtain refers to the boundary that divided Europe into East and West blocs (politically, physically, and ideologically) after the end of the Second World War until the end of the Cold War - it had nothing to do with the Nazis.

    Dropping $4.25 on that site will have the same effect as an eye-dropper full of water will have on a beached whale.

  25. Re:Aluminum... on Japanese Scientists Make Alzheimers Progress · · Score: 1
    I'm Alcoa Director, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Alain J. P. Belda and I approve of the preceding message.

    I can't understand why you alarmist types would be trying to obfuscate the clearly valid factoids and overall truthiness of the article by demanding to see things like "sources" and "citations".

    Why, the fact that this post contains copious amounts of capitalized letters, many exclamation points, and a passionate cry for understanding should indeed be enough to satisfy the most critical eye and quiet the nay-sayers.

    Indeed, my dedicated team of scienceologists PERSONALLY assure me that aluminum is completely harmless with regards to Alzheimer's Disease. Why, I've been an active consumer of all things aluminum - from travelling in airplanes to drinking sodas from aluminum cans to keeping myself sweat-free at important board meetings with antiperspirant - for many years and I'm quite sure I'd remember if my doctor told me I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

    So fear not gentle consumer! Continue to enjoy your favourite metal in peace and don't let this speculation about the alleged "truth" of the post above weigh heavily on your mind.

    That is all.
