    Still exists? I had no idea, I wonder why people still use it?

  2. Re:Privacy != Freedom && Freedom != Privac on It's "1984" in Europe, What About Your Country? · · Score: 0

    Not even if.

    The government would have to be violating my privacy without probable cause in the first place to know what we were talking about.

    The end DOES NOT justify the means. See slavery and economic prosperity in the pre Civil War south.

  3. Re:Piece of cake ... on Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000 · · Score: 0

    These aren't new words symbolizing new concepts or new ideas. These are bastardizations of words we already have.

    You do not seem to be using the Queens english my dear sir.

    This generation already has enough to be sorry about to future generations ( DMCA, Dubia, Iraq, Oil dependancy, Privacy and Freedom limitations on a daily basis ), let's not give them something else to hate us for.

    Not MY generation, I'm only 25. The generation you are thinking of must be your own.

    Sorry you think you should be allowed to speak like an idiot and have no one say anything, but that's not how this world works.

    I think the fact that you are "speaking" disproves this statement.

  4. Re:Piece of cake ... on Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This is a friendly message to let you know you are a grammar Nazi.

    "ur", "ppl", and "prolly" are in fact legitimate Internet slang in that they are commonly used and understood on t3h_1nt3rn3ts. Languages are living, evolving, and ever changing, as new words come into use, and are found useful they become a part of the language. Language comes from the people, and their use of symbols to communicate; the language of the people today becomes the dictionaries of tomorrow not the other way around.

    Get over your self, you are an ass with an inferiority complex trying to prove you are smart.

    This could be considered "off topic" or "troll" however the parent is arguably both, and was modded as "insightful". Yeah grammar Nazi's are real insightful, and the parent has some real insight................;-)

  7. Re: Asterisk on Solutions for Small Business VoIP? · · Score: 0

    Rapid is a debian based asterisk solution that I used to replace a pots pbx at a local small buisness, I saved them around 20k over their estimate of a comparable pots system, but as asterisk has more features, the pots wasn't really comparible. The "brain" of the system is a $200 1.3ghz duron server with 1gb pc2700, the phones are cisco 7960's, costing about the same per unit as the server's hardware. The best part imho, is that on this system the primary cost was my labor. ;-)


    Asterisk can be a pain, and the dialplan syntax is kinda gross, but once you get it working, it works very well.


    With the promenance of asterisk, I almost think the topic post is a troll.

  15. Optical S/PDIF, the need for bandwidth. on Fiber Optic vs Copper · · Score: 0

    Ive never had any of the "breakage" issues associated with fiber when using fiber audiocables in my home theater, and I think that lacking home optical internet connections is a hinderance to commerce, just think about all the money that can be made off the sale of services on the internets once 100+mbps fiber connections are the norm for the average consumer.

  16. Re:I don't know which is more ridiculous... on The RIAA's Halloween Tricks · · Score: 0
    (Is that why radio shack asks for your phone number when you buy batteries?)

    They ask for your info:
    1. To allow them to send junk mail to your house.
    2. To make searching for you lose recepit in the database easier.
    3. If you pay with a check, for obvious reasons.
    4. For any transaction involving a service contract(cell phone, dish)


    the cell phone push is because radioshack employees are paid minimum wage plus bonuses for selling cell phones and such. some stores are on commission, but the primary way to make enough money to live off is to push cell phones like your life depended on it(as this is making a living, it kinda does).
  17. Radioshack Discontinuing?.... on The RIAA's Halloween Tricks · · Score: 0

    Radioshack has decided to discontinue their sales of said electronic components in a number of locations around my town due to a lack of sales. I would not be suprised if they stoped selling them all together. I used to work at radioshack, and in my store we literally had pots that had been in the store since the early to mid 80's, this was just a couple of years ago.

  21. Windows Fat32 compatibility on Why Vista Had To Be Rebuilt From Scratch · · Score: 1

    I'm just hoping that this version of windoze(visdoze) will be fully compatible with m$'s fat32 file system, the 32GB size limit in XP is an massive annoyance, and it's sad that Linux is MORE compatible with an M$ file system then M$'s own OS.

    Or just remove the region code from the $30 dvd +-dlrw you bought off the internets, and run it into your home theater. The wonders of the modern pc will also allow you to play pal dvd's on an ntsc tv with the proper aspect ratio.
