    No but you should blame the auto maker if they intentionally leave the windshield loose to where a thief can just pop it off, unlock the car, then pop it on without any tools.

  7. Re:Extortion on Microsoft Officially Announces Anti-Virus Product · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No I don't think it's wrong for you to feel this way and I think more people would understand if you explained it in more simpler terms. You buy a piece of software, it's buggy, they'll fix their mistakes... but you have to pay for it. The idea of paying for other people's mistakes when they're aware of it and fully capable of fixing it for free just really steams me.

  8. Re:Have a friend on Police Restrict Public Photography · · Score: 1

    I tried to talk him into going to the press but he said that it doesn't matter. I don't see how people can so be passive towards authority, it just steams me.

  9. Have a friend on Police Restrict Public Photography · · Score: 1

    I have a friend who was taking photographs of where he lived downtown (Elizabeth City, NC) and a non uniformed officer came up to him and forced him to delete the photos or he'd have to take the camera away. I actually submitted this as a story about 4-5 months ago, but that's not important. What concerns me is that all of these people are starting to treat us as if we're criminals and it's highly upsetting, it's as if they're machines and no longer people.

    There are some really sick people out there that who get off to playing police the people and treat us as if we're over-grown children.

  10. Re:yes, you missed something on Interview with Joshua Schachter of del.icio.us · · Score: 3, Informative

    Google's Personal Home Page comes to mind, I personally find it a great way to organize a home page. I have to admit though it took me awhile to get used to the personal home page versus the old fashioned simple google home page.

    On my personal homepage however, I have, weather, email and bookmarks. Still simple but yet effecient!

    But I think del.icio.us isn't just about storing YOUR bookmarks though, so yeah. I really don't know of any other website that does close to or exactly what del.icio.us does, if you know of any I'd like to know about them.

  11. Re:they don't make 'em like this anymore on Games That Keep You Coming Back? · · Score: 1

    Wow, and I thought I was the only person in existance that played and enjoyed Vandal Hearts. Never got to play #2. If you've played #2, was it any good?

  12. Re:Info - WTF? on Making Files Available Breaking the Law? · · Score: 1

    Hope you actually go through with it. I stopped buying music a long time ago and I don't remember the last time I bought a major DVD release. But of course, I never promised to boycott anyone either, even though I guess I am.

  13. Re:Bell greed won't go away on BellSouth Will Charge Providers For Performance · · Score: 1

    Yeah but what about those people who play games etc online? I don't mean WoW or FFXI, I mean stuff that often times the consumer can host. Stuff like CS, DoD, and so on. They're starting to make up a large portion of today's e-people and I'm pretty sure they'll be pissed when their über-1337 clan gets knocked offline and one of their friends that are remotely intelligent tell them why.

  14. Re:Isn't radio still free? on Sorting Through the Analog to Digital TV Mess · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but instead of just any radio station, listen to public radio!

  15. Re:What happened to the free market? on Sorting Through the Analog to Digital TV Mess · · Score: 1

    You don't have to throw away the TV's, you just have to get a digital to analog converter. Atleast that's what the article says, but still I think that sucks.

  16. Re:Who cares? on South Park Turns to Xserve for Storage Upgrade · · Score: 1

    They had many directors, with each directory only responsible for an episode or two.

    Haha, looks like someone uses the computer too mu... Nevermind

    Actually, you're right. Their deadline is really tight. I think one of the things that made South Park last compared to many other shows that had the same way of doing things but was fatal for them, is the fact that they produce stuff so fast they can target current topics within a reasonable time frame, so therefore every episode is fresh and current!

  17. Re:Anyone else? Korean Ads on AOL Names Top Spam Subjects For 2005 · · Score: 1

    I don't really mind, doesn't affect my main email account. Actually, I find a lot of it to be funny.

    Interesting how it sounds like that works for Korean advertisement, shame they're all not like that. Oh well. Thanks for the advice though!

    Yeah, boolean logic gates and stuff make sense, I've programmed for awhile. I really want to get into embedded systems though, so anxious for school to start in a few days.

    Thanks a lot! (:

  19. Anyone else? Korean Ads on AOL Names Top Spam Subjects For 2005 · · Score: 1

    Anyone else get a LOT of Korean advertisement? Some of these products are so weird, I have no clue as to what they are. It's the only spam I mind, it's actually quite funny some of the emails I get. The intervals of Korean advertisement, unfortunately, has been increasing though.

  20. Re:Is it worth learning about in a small college? on Nanotech in Microchips by 2015 · · Score: 1

    That's what I thought it'd be like, and to be honest I'm glad it is like that. I guess it makes sense, if you make it to where everyone who's already in the business have to relearn how to design circuits then you have some SERIOUS problems!

  21. Is it worth learning about in a small college? on Nanotech in Microchips by 2015 · · Score: 1

    One of my "life goals" if you wish to call it that, is to get into the engineering and design of circuits/robotics/etc. I've looked at taking some nano-technology classes but right now I don't feel it would be justified compared to learning other important things which will contribute to what I want to do.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd love to take some courses to learn about it, but at my local schools atleast, their programs aren't that great it seems. Any insight about what would be the best way to approach nano technology other than a small college, or would you consider the college courses afterall?

  22. I have a proposition! on Digital Content Security Act · · Score: 1

    Oh come on, seriously. Looking at this makes me want to puke! Perhaps a requirement for becoming someone who dictates legislation.... you should have to go to grammar school and not write something that looks like one big sentence!

    Why do I feel like they write this in a way to make it near impossible to read?

    Dickhead who Lobbies: *lies*
    Congress: *listens to lies*
    DWL: *presents legislation*
    Congress: *Doesn't understand, bases judgement on lies written by the marketing/legal department

  23. Forwarding spam to the FTC on FTC Declares Can-Spam a Success · · Score: 1

    You can forward your spam to the FTC by forwarding your mail to spam@uce.gov

    From http://www.ftc.gov/spam/

    If you get spam email that you think is deceptive, forward it to spam@uce.gov. The FTC uses the spam stored in this database to pursue law enforcement actions against people who send deceptive email.

    The forward button has never been so fun! Now if only it could be something like that joke-commercial for what happens when you send an error report on Windows after a program fails. For those who haven't seen it (I can't find a link, I'm sorry), when a program crashes you send an error report and it finds out who's fault the error was if it was a programmer in Redmond, and if so you get to choose a form of quick torture that is controlled by the programmer's chair.
