  6. Re:Or how about Android Marketplace? on The Dark Side of Digital Distribution · · Score: 1

    it should only look in other directories if i explicitly tell it about them. and hell, i think it should ask me first before even scanning the default directory. i opened picasa the other day after one of its updates and it had convienently forgotten my "do not scan" orders and began scanning the entire hard drive again, adding a bunch of random images into my photo library. pissed me off. and it was entirely too hard to tell it to stop scanning as well.

  7. Re:Corporate greed??? on AT&T Threatening To Raise Rates After Merger Failure · · Score: 1

    The way America works, you're on the board for my company, and I'm on the board for yours.

    yep. complete bullshit.

  8. pelican case on Ask Slashdot: Protecting Tech Gear From Smash-and-Grab Theft? · · Score: 1

    I use a carry on sized Pelican case locked with a pad lock and cabled to the metal seat frame. Of course it can be defeated, but not in the typical smash and grab time frame.

  9. Re:Simple, tax the air on Vermont City Almost Encased In a 1-Mile Dome · · Score: 1

    Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

  10. Re:WTF on Montana City Requires Workers' Internet Accounts · · Score: 1

    off topic, but i was wondering the same thing...buttons and widgets are all over the place that don't do anything except mess up the look.

  11. Re:maybe its a scam........ on Woman Throws Away Mattress Containing $1 Million · · Score: 1

    that's what i'm wondering

  12. Re:Sounds good... on Download Taxes As a Weapon Against File-Sharing · · Score: 1

    if your isp is capping your monthly download by a megabyte total, then you could argue that you are already paying a sales tax on those megabytes because you are most likely paying a sales tax on the service. however, it sounds like this is more aimed at the perceived value of a file, and not the size. what if the government decides that a linux iso has the same retail value as windows or os x?

  13. Re:Sounds good... on Download Taxes As a Weapon Against File-Sharing · · Score: 1

    You're not going to get pulled over for not wearing a seat belt

    i agree as far as tax evasion for downloads is concerned, but come on down to texas...they most definitely will pull you over just for not wearing a seatbelt

    stage an old oil platform out there and make it like a big "coat check". you could even leave a crew member on board to watch your gear. :)

  16. Re:Survey said ... on Researchers Discover The Most Creative Time of Day · · Score: 1

    there was even a commercial about installing a shower in an office bathroom just for this reason a couple of years ago (it was for fedex or something)

  17. Re:Pools too short on Timing Technology Behind Olympic Record Results · · Score: 1

    i would be willing to bet that it was designed with that in mind, being that i know of at least one world record that was thrown out after a post race measurement of the pool found it to be 49.97 meters (iirc). (this was due to a divider that splits that pool into 2 25M pools not being pushed exactly into position at the end of the pool for a meet.)

  18. texas worker's rights on Can You Be Sued for Quitting? · · Score: 1

    texas is a right to work state...you can leave a company whenever you want, and they can fire you whenever they want. so unless you where stealing stuff from the company, your former VP and/or legal team should have no basis for this.
