    To the mod who gave this a +1 informative...

    I was going more for a plus +1 funny and I have a feeling it is for your mod reason I got off topic slapped.

    I figured it would be mis-moded but oh well, sorry if you dont catch the reference.

    and I think George Clooney sucks as batman! Its a shame cause Jim C. did a GREAT job as the Riddler and the rest of the crew stunk that movie up, hard core.

  4. Wow, great answers on AMI Guy Talks About TCPA, Palladium, and Other BIOS Issues · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I dont want to say I feel better about TCPA now but I know better now where to focus the fear. It seems that what needs to happen is the open source community needs to quickly jump on TCPA and make it worthwhile for doing REALLY cool things, long before someone else turns it into something that makes me unplug.

    It must be late because it took me three or four reads to see its talking about the CS models. I know its in the title of the linked page, but its 1:30 AM here and my day started out at 8am with a lady who was worried because "her computer [was] broadcasting an IP address."

  7. What do these things look like? on APC Recalls 2.1 Million UPS Units · · Score: 1

    Ugh, ive put these in a few small offices around the last two years, but I recognize them more by LOOK rather then by serial #. I know Im setting myself up for a goatse, but what do these models look like?

  8. Buying snood on Snood, the Simple Game · · Score: 2

    Snood, like the other puzzle games, including the ones from Popcap, has a problem with buying.

    I want to buy Snood, but if I want it for my PDA and Windows, I get to pay for it twice. Gh-ey. Why should I pay popcap twice for the same damn game?

    As for snood, there are quite a few snood products, and my gf is friggen addicted to it. She is not much of a computer person and Ive told her a dozen times she needs to register but she says "Why do that when I can find the reg code on google?!"

  10. Re: DMCA statement on News on TiVo, "God's Machine" · · Score: 1

    Heh. I read the sentance and in my brain I read it like you said, he knows about the law and knows that if he wanted to do cool shit, he would be breaking the law. I havent read the article yet (heh) and probably wasnt going to because I have the jist of the article, that he doesnt like that law.

    Yea, it is a pretty big difference and im glad someone saw it as insightful.

  11. People know not what Tivo is... on News on TiVo, "God's Machine" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This week I brought up Tivo twice in conversation. Once was to a mom who loves Oprah and watches it every day but is really mad when she misses it for whatever reason or someone calls in the middle of Oprah. I said "Well, you just need Tivo." She looked at me like I said "Oh, just re-route your flux capacitor.'

    The other night I asked a business man who is one of those gadget freaks if he had tivo and he had the similar response!

    How is it that people dont know what Tivo is? Why the hell does anyone who watch TV NOT have a Tivo? Listen to people like Adam Carolla on Loveline. He is just blown away by Tivo's powers. Don, Mike, Buzz, Rob of the Don and Mike show all have it and its just like going to the bathroom on how often they use it. It was a plot topic on King of Queens even! So, why the hell have people not jumped all over this thing?!

    Now, I cant afford Tivo so what shows I really DO wanna watch (Sopranos) I record using my GF's All-in-wonder. If I didnt have an all-in-wonder, Id be saving up for a Tivo.

  12. I saw one in action on More 3D Printer News · · Score: 3, Funny

    I dont know the specs or how detailed it was, but they had something that did 3d printing at Boeing. I saw it there when I went I took a tour for a class here in Wichita, KS. It was pretty cool. I watched for 2 minutes as it built a plane model someone was working on. The guide was a little mad at me and said I should be seeing whats comming off that printer but since it was building the lower half, he and the engineer agreed I was harmless.

    Ill never forget that weird design, looked just like a dinner plate. I kid, I kid.

  13. I would love to get sendmail running on Sendmail Performance Tuning · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I know sendmail is installed by default in redhat 8 and thats why I was going to use it. I also know that there are some other good options out there. However, sendmail seems to be the most widely used. That said, I thought it was really strange that I could quickly and easy get things like apache and mysql working yet I couldnt get sendmail working for basic pop3 and smtp access.

    That said, the other thing sendmail was lacking was something the entire linux world is lacking. Why is there no exchange server clone? Why is it that if I still want to share calenders and stuff in outlook, I still have to run Win2k Server + AD + Exchange Server? Thats just crazy. It blows my mind that there isnt an OSS option out there that does this type of work and is Exchange compatible!

  15. Speaking of spam on Spam Blocking Engine for OpenBSD · · Score: 2

    What tools in Linux would one need to do the following:

    Setup a pop3 server / smtp server so that email can be sent and received.

    Filter spam / easily add filters to this pop3 / smtp server on the same box.

    Also be able to check OTHER accounts on OTHER pop3 servers, download them, and filter out the same spam / things marked as spam.

    Noobie proof is a good thing too.

    PS - If BSD does it better then linux, post those tools as well. Maybe make it a chalange to see which OS can do said request better. Could win32 win (heh) ?

  16. First IM prior art that comes to my head... on Amazon Seeks '2-Click' Shopping Cart Patent · · Score: 2

    I remember right before ICQ using a program called Powwow. ICQ just did it better.

    But, long before ICQ there was IRC and you could do everything in IRC that you could do in ICQ. You could use scripts to see who was on the server (or just have all your buddies in the same room), /msg worked as the IM, dcc worked for file transfer and you even had crazy group chat areas! I know for a very long time, a lot of nut purists would not use ICQ because "IRC WAS SO MUCH BETTAH!"

    I would like to say a few other things about ICQ.

    Why the hell is it that now, 5+(?) years later, it is still a free limited time BETA? Im nominating ICQ for the longest beta in the history of mankind.

    Also, ICQ still does something that YIM, AIM, MSNIM all do not do -- store messages for when a user comes online. I switched to trillian pro so I could consolidate Aim, MSN, and ICQ. At times I miss my ICQ client but since Trillian saves logs in plaintext, I will never go back. However, it drives me nuts when Im trying to get ahold of someone on MSN or AIM and they are not online. Seriously, there needs to be a trillian plugin that holds a message on my box until a person comes online and sends it automatically for me. Grr. Even with trillian I still try to get people to use ICQ as the prefered medium for this very damn reason.

  22. Everyone is missing this on Windows Refund Day II · · Score: 2

    Ill give myself the -1 Redundent if you accept it too because what you have said and what I am saying have been said probably a dozen times. The difference between every other bundle we run into is that Microsoft has said "If you dont like this, thats cool. Take it back to where you bought it and they will refund you the price of the OS." If VW said, if you use this radio then you agree to have it. If you dont want it, thats cool. Bring it back to us and we will refund you.

    Do you see the difference?

  23. Rapid City, SD on IBM, AT&T and Intel Plan National Wireless ISP · · Score: 2

    My aunt and uncle live outside of Rapid City South Dakota and they have no ways of gettings internet access other then the ol 56k. They can not get sat service, DSL, Cable, or anything of the sorts. They are not insanely far out, just up the road a bit and you can see Rapid from their house. My grandmother lives in Arlington, KS. Its about 45 minutes from Wichita. She has no cell phone coverage out there. None. No TDMA no nothing. Neither of these two people will probably be able to receive this NATION WIDE coverage. Sine when did putting something in NYC and LA mean nationwide coverage? I hear shows say they broadcast coast-to-coast yet I know there are places they do not broadcast to. Heck, with some shows you couldnt even drive across the country and hear them every step of the way, yet they are coast to coast.

    Sigh - just a bleep on the advertisement radar
