  1. My representative voted the right way. on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 1

    At least my representative, Earl Blumenauer, along with the rest of Oregon's Democratic house members voted against this travesty.

  2. Re:Fyunch-click on Former OLPC CTO Aims to Create $75 Laptop · · Score: 1

    My first thought was of Moties, too.

  3. Re:Straightforward answer on eBooks - What's Holding You Back? · · Score: 1

    I do almost all of my reading on a Dell Axim. I take a light rail train to/from work so I have lots of time. Most of my books are from Baen's free library (already mentioned), plus many classics from Project Gutenberg and BlackMask (http://www.blackmask.com/).

    It is nice to be able to have a whole library on a SD card.

  4. Re:TRS-80 Model I on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    Mine was also a TRS80... It had Level I Basic and 4K of RAM. After about a week, I spent $150 to upgrade it to 16k and Level II Basic. Over the years, I doubled the speed to 3.5 mHz, added a lowercase character ROM (involved soldering a chip on top of another and cutting a trace).

    At the end, I was running CP/M on it... I was just remembering those "good old days" with another TRS80 user last week.

  5. Re:Slashdot does not render in Firefox on Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE · · Score: 1

    I get this in Firefox, too. Refreshing will usually clear it up.

  6. Re:~40 years old tech. on Magnetic Induction Technology Headset Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Get Smart and the Cone of Silence was the first thing that I thought of when I read the post!
