  1. Re:You Americans on Congress Tries To Strip Power From Anti-Wiretap Judge · · Score: 1

    Have you tried phoning them? I'm sure they won't answer, but you could leave a message stating your opinion on the issue. If a lot of people call about the same issue, they will hear about it.

  2. Won't somebody on Microsoft Going After Yahoo! Again · · Score: 1

    think of the users? There may be some money in this short term, but in the end it's going to hurt the internet community as a whole.

  4. Back in the day on Dial-Up Users "Don't Want Broadband" · · Score: 1

    I find it humorous with the talk about prices like $20 a month for dial up vs $50 a month for broadband. I remember when you had to pay for access BY THE HOUR!

    Plus 1.95 regulatory fee. Plus a 2.00 non-government mandated cost recovery fee. Plus tax.

    Before I got my first job in IT I worked in retail. I hated it. But I got experience in dealing with different kinds of people.

  8. Re:"The internet has confirmed it" on TV Viewers' Average Age Hits 50 · · Score: 1

    "everything from sci-fi to home improvement"

    There's a sci-fi channel? Which one is it? All I can get is one that plays crappy B movies.

  9. Metric system on Roundest Object In the World Created · · Score: 0

    I never liked the metric system. Oh, sure it's all based on tens and is good for science, but I find the English system more practical.

    There's no metric unit that's close to feet. Either you've got a lot of centimeters or parts of a meter.

    And say I want to measure something. According to the standard a meter is the distance light travels in a vacuum during 1/299,792,458 of a second. How am I suppose to measure something with that? Put it in a vacuum and see how many seconds it takes light to get from one end to the other?

    My point was that I had to pay $100 to get to XP Professional, while they only had to pay $50.

    "Give it a try for a week and you'll get used to it"

    That's exactly how I became an Opera fan. I set it as may default browser for a month. I don't have anything against FF, I use it too. I think if more people would try different things for a week, we'd all be better off.

  20. Lunch on Mozilla Messaging Devs Don't Want To Duplicate Outlook · · Score: 1

    There are quite a few things that could be improved in Outlook. For instance, I go to lunch the same time everyday (company rule). When I go to add a lunch appointment to my calender, I should simply have to hit a "Lunch" button, and it know what time it will be. Instead, I have to input the same time every time.
