  1. Re:Blame HTC on Facebook Home Flagship Phone, HTC First, May Be Discontinued · · Score: 1

    I have two android "phones" with no service, I'd buy this one if they sold it without service and cheap. I use mine as a mini tablet and the other as a PDA.

  2. hiatus on Rusty Foster Isn't Dead · · Score: 1

    I put my facebook account on hiatus about a year ago, I was considering deleting it entirely soon. This sounds like a much better state to leave it in.

  3. Re:NASA link on Curiosity Rover Fires First Laser Beam At Martian Rock · · Score: 2

    media event schedule for next week.

  4. Re:NASA link on Curiosity Rover Fires First Laser Beam At Martian Rock · · Score: 2

    They have intermittent teleconferences at around 10:30 am, they should mention the info then. I think they said the next one was scheduled for Tuesday on Fridays conference. Check the news link posted also keep an eye on the ustream feed. http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl

  5. I use my android unlocked gti5500 as an ebook reader and for audio books. I've been reading ebooks for close to 10 years on handhelds, started out with Palm. Only issue I have is locating non DRM ebooks and PDF,s . I picked up a $99 HP touchpad and it works ok for reading PDF , except the PDF reader kinda blows. I actually find it easier reading ebooks on a smaller screen as my eyes aren't scanning sideways as much. So I'd recommend a tablet for tech manuals and your phone/pmp for regular books.

  6. just block .us .gov domains on Net Companies Consider the "Nuclear Option" To Combat SOPA · · Score: 3, Interesting

    instead of blocking everyone, why not send requests from .us or gov domains to a custom page or block entirely.

  7. Old game high scores on VG Vixens Return To Playboy · · Score: 1

    This is a bit off topic, but does anyone remember when PB posted Arcade game high scores back in the 80's? If so, do you know what issues those were.

  8. Re:No Xwindows on Building a Linux Computer Lab for Schools? · · Score: 1

    >>For education you dont need Xwindows. Command lines is fast on PIII.

    >Grammar is helpful though.

    And A typo in unix will get you another command ;) I actually found midnight commander but miss typing mv.

  9. Re:This isn't really a problem on Microsoft Warns of Impossible to Clean Spyware · · Score: 1

    You can do just about the same thing using Deep Freeze, albiet it's not as funny ;)

  10. Re:Friends on Firefox Breaks 25 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    I ran accross this also. One of my online friends parents constantly get her PC infected with spyware and such. She is not a techie and I've tried helping her with getting spybot, etc. I finally just had her download firefox. Her reply " Yahh, I can check me email now" lol

  11. And tings of dat nature on Microsoft's Martin Taylor Responds · · Score: 1

    I can't get that SNL Arnold impersonation out of my head lol

  12. Re:There is truly nothing like free advertising on Red Hat & Centos On Name Usage · · Score: 1

    I hadn't until now. I just ran across whitebox linux which seems to do the same thing. Anymore out there? Any comparisons?

  13. old palm pilot on Laptops, Headless Servers and KVMs? · · Score: 1

    I still keep my old serial palm pilot to login and change the time on my Tivo and login to my headless server if I'm too lazy to grab a monitor. I also in the past used login to a DEC terminal server, using a modifed serial to RJ45 adapter. They used those on PC's as well, I pretty much null modemed the adapter.

  14. Re:Firefox 1.0 on New Vulnerability Affects All Browsers · · Score: 1

    Same here, I couldn't get it to work until I read those pesky instructions. Maybe the exploit needs to be updated for us middle clickers who can't follow directions. lol

  15. Block them at the MTA on De-spamming Your Inbox The Hard Way · · Score: 1

    I get spam to roughly 3 accounts. www@mydomain, I use that everywhere, usenetMMYYY@mydomain, I rotate that every few months and remove the alias. And the only issue I have with spam is one of my friends decided 4 years ago that I need 12 free CD's and posted my main myfirstname@mydomain on a web site. I'm still getting spam to that address but it comes in spurts. It seems its sold to a new Spam agency every 6 months and I spend about 2 weeks putting more DENY's in sendmail, I get a break for a few months after that. I also use the www address to update my ACCESS list for sendmail.

  16. Re:Ways to defeat automated calling systems on FCC Allows Bells to Sell Your Telephone Usage Data · · Score: 1

    I put "The number you have reached is not in service at this time" message on my machine a few years back.

    I went two months with no messages on my machine, my friends thought my number was disconnected and stopped calling me. :)

  17. Re:suggest a change on All Sourceforge.net Being Blocked by SmartFilter · · Score: 1

    sf.net is not blocked, if that helps anyone. Unfortunately it resolves out to sourceforge.net after entering the site.

  18. Re:something alike on The True Story of Website Results · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sure I would kill and butcher a cow myself. It probably wouldn't be edible after I got done with it.

  19. Re:MAME for TiVo anyone? on No Love From Microsoft For Xbox Modders · · Score: 1

    Well if they do port it I hope they dont make the 30 second skip button the fire button, cause I already wore it out theiving commercials.

  20. Re:While we're talking about the Onion... on Beijing Newspaper Spoofed by The Onion · · Score: 1

    god_clarifies_do nt_kill.html

    Oh ya, that was funny. Except when I read the link with the space in it, I thought it was going to be a story about god as Yoda and he was an MS hater.

  21. Re:Nifty engine, but sound and music need work on At Long Last: Stable Version of FreeCraft Game Engine · · Score: 1

    I'm a part time musician with a nice Ensoniq KB. I saw the info on the front page a few weeks ago about wanting musicians. But alas, Not link or readily available info. I poked around a bit, found some info on sound samples, then gave up.

    Are they really looking for music or what?

  22. Re:Download netscape 7, preview release 1 on A First Look at Netscape 7 · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if I have quickload on, I can't seem to find that setting. I was able to install and use a theme to see if installing works. I did exit and restart the browser.

  23. Re:Download netscape 7, preview release 1 on A First Look at Netscape 7 · · Score: 1

    Is that Netscape RC1 or Mozilla RC1? I'm using MozillaRC2 and it doesn't appear to be working.

  24. Re:it is in the name of money and their business m on AOL-Time/Warner's PVR to Skip Ad-Skipping · · Score: 1

    If I record something on PBS and I skip over the part where they ask me to donate, are they going to call me a pirate?

  25. Re:TiVo 30-second skip, NOT.. on AOL-Time/Warner's PVR to Skip Ad-Skipping · · Score: 1

    I just started using the 30 second skip a few seeks ago and I think I'll go back to the FF method. One, I tend to hit the 30skip one to many times and end up back tracking too often (athough Iam getting better). Two, I miss all the commercials, some are pretty funny. Three, I miss the ads for upcoming programming. Most of the new shows or movies I watch are from the station preview ads.
