Comment Re:Parents (Score 1) 284

While this is true seriously as a parent....what kind of dumbass leaves magnets where a 4 YEAR OLD can get them? Now obviously this wasn't the brightest bulb in the box, at 4 my boys knew that non-food items didn't belong in the mouth but still, not very damned smart.

Bah! My 4 year old was able to dismantle a hard drive on his own. They loved playing with those super strong magnets. Just sayin...

I sold my Amiga 1000 in the early 90's, and I am sooo sorry I did. Best computer ever.

I remember feeling a genuine sense of loss when I sold my 500 and later my 1200. I have never felt the same emotional connection to any of the PC's I have owned since. I will always have a soft spot for the old Amigas.

What surprises me about all these child-porn-bust stories is how many people are looking at it. I would have figured less than a thousand in the whole country.

I agree, there are either a lot of normal people getting screwed over (pardon the pun) thinking "honestly, I thought she was 18 your honour", or there are a lot of dumb people who don't realise how little privacy they have left on the internets when they go hunting for the blatantly underage stuff.

Comment International tag transfer anyone? (Score 1) 484

The company I work for had hundreds of the affected GX270's deployed at remote sites, and they were all supplied from Japan. This meant you couldn't get any support at all until you had the service tag transferred to the new country you were in. At the peak of the bad cap problem with the GX270's Dell would really drag their feet transferring the tag so they didn't have to deal with supplying the motherboard. I must have spoken to several Dell engineers who didn't get the memo about keeping their mouths shut about the bad caps because most I spoke to knew full well what what going on.
