  1. Fraud and the likes? on Using Gold As Online Currency · · Score: 1

    I know this is not very informative but Im sure someone can reply and inform - but wasn't this company in massive trouble for fraud a while back? Maybe it was a competitor? If I find it - I will follow up in the thread

  2. Re:This is a outrage. on Internet-Ready Car · · Score: 1

    I don't know the last time you drove in Kansas but, if I am going from Wichita to Radium and I am on US50 and limited to a god awful 60mph with troopers waiting for me to pop 70, I Damn well better be able to make generic posts to /. that will 'bring my karma down'. I could intently read a webpage while tracking through mp3s, cruise control on, hands off the wheel, and w/ good alignment I would expect from a new car, drive perfectly straight, never even swerve into the other lane (not plural, 2lane) for a good 10-15 minutes.

  3. Re:Please drive with both hands on the steering wh on Internet-Ready Car · · Score: 1

    Nein. Pr0n dates back to the ol school BBS days. ASCII pr0n. Later it filtered into the gaming world for a few quake servers that would kb people with porn in their names or used mm1 and said porn. Thus, pr0n translated over. Tambien, if a filter-spider see pr0n ! porn, the site won't be filtered (hopefully).

    Only a public school student/teacher would give that post a C+. He failed. F. FAILURE! No need to give him a friggen C+. That is almost a B.

  5. Re:hmm.. on Internet-Ready Car · · Score: 1

    If you have an employer that has you work past the 8 to 5 hours and you are willing to work them, make sure you get over time. Don't forget that if your boss calls you and wants you to simply ping a server, or they want you to read and article on ars overnight, that is a minimum each time 2hrs 'on the clock.' Do not let your employer screw you out of what is yours. If they even slightly threaten that, pop the money for a lawyer, and take their asses to court for breaking federal law.

  6. My grandkids... on Internet-Ready Car · · Score: 1

    My grandkids will know of such things ... why? Because I will always drive big ass trucks that could never go hybrid for if they did, they would loose all the power that I need. You won't catch me in any such car any time soon

  7. Riff on Salon on Ethically Monitoring Your Kid's Net Access · · Score: 1

    Actually I have never seen an article from Salon as a must read ... they really beat the same dead horse over and over again. See: "Bushed" (I read it cause it just makes me mad while I take a crap - ty AvantGo)

  8. My take on Really Targeted Advertising · · Score: 2

    I too like the ends ... however, what kind of man can not sit through a tampax comercial? Is it really that bad? I still have the feeling that I will see a lot of car adds no matter what I do!

  9. Re:Good on Supreme Court Limits High-Tech Snooping · · Score: 1

    They are my favorite justices and I think we need more of them!

    Does this 'other high tech snooping' include say Carnivore snooping my email?

  10. Freshmeat on Voice Over IP for Linux Games? · · Score: 3

    I know when I was looking for tools like Net2Phone and Dialpad.com for linux I found a few SDKs on Freshmeat for VoIP. However, none of them were geared toward gaming such as Rogerwilco and Battlecom. I would love to find a good cross platform "game-geared" VoIP system. Btw - only RWBS is for Linux - no linux clients that I know of

    So true bro ... so true Ghostbusters (sadly?) defined me as a person

  16. Re:More importantly on Ximian gets new CEO · · Score: 1

    This didnt seem to fix the fact I crash on install. Very strange indeed.

    the rpm3 installer is what is downloaded on the go-gnome site and it gave me the upgrade error

    The rpm4 installer runs and such - but it crashes when I go to install - I tried to send a bug report in but Im such a massive newbie that did not work to well!

  17. More importantly on Ximian gets new CEO · · Score: 2

    When is Ximian going to work with Redhat 7.1? The current go-gnome install downloads the non Redhat 7.x installer. If you go to the manual install page, you can get the 7.x installer. However, in 7.1 at least, after all the downloads are done - the installer crashes! How poo is that? I go with the RedHat 7.0 install and it says upgrade to a compatable distro, even though going from 7.1 to 7.0 would be a downgrade - go figure! The other way crashes. Please fix this soon - I love ximian (and redcarpet, AND EVOLUTION!)

  18. I hate this on MS Passport: "All Your Bits Are Belong To Us" · · Score: 1

    When people read a story like this that has been on the register for a few days and instead of submitting it - rewrite it and call it their own. Its crap. Mod me down but I just wanted to say that!

  19. Uhhh... on Star Wars Most Violent Movie Ever? · · Score: 1

    Im sorry - what side is Mr. Lieberman on? OH THATS RIGHT HE IS A DEMOCRAT! The attorney general isnt going to be the one censoring us, congress is you dolt. Jesus. Damn democrats never can realize they are for more government and more censoring where as the republicans are for less government and less censoring.

  20. I have for history class on What Isn't on the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Quite a few things I have spent hours searching for and not finding it. For example, when did "The War of the Rebellion" become known officially as the "American Civil War" and why. I was able to peice together items from books but no sources on the internet were helpful at all!

  23. Re:MSN DSL customers really screwed... on Northpoint Points South · · Score: 1

    "It's a shame... Northpoint seems like they provided a good, reasonably priced, reliable service, especially when compared with, say, Verizon."

    Thats prolly why they went under!

  24. Wtf? Thoughts? on Northpoint Points South · · Score: 1

    How can one's 'thoughts' go out? I mean, I understand how you can pray for someone, but how the hell does thinking about someone help? I mean if you are spiritual then there is a reasoning for prayer - but ... thoughts? WTF? Never did get that PC move ...
