    Do you consider hitchhiking on the highway with an infant child endangerment?

    No. I presume this is someone holding a baby while standing at the side of the road well out of the traffic, not letting the baby crawl in the road, trying to stop cars by jumping in front of them, or doing anything actually reckless (like, say, pushing a stroller into rush-hour traffic and...

    How do i view a downloaded video torrents that are formatted as Audio_ts and...

    sounds like DVD folders. There should be something like VOB files inside video_ts; I think they are some kind of MPEG format. As I recall I can play then in mplayer

    Why do people make Harley-davidsons out to be so great?

    Because of Windows 7 validation hassles, I want to install Linux instead....

    Linux is not (yet) vulnerable to malware because no-one has bothered to write any. It's vulnerable to weak passwords on SSH login and things like SQL injection on servers, plus the odd privilege escalation exploit if someone gets a user password. So desktops are pretty safe - you won't yet get...

    What is meant by wind mitigation inspection in Fla.?

    Having an inspector certify that you have anchor bolts, roof tie-downs and other stuff to stop your house coming apart in a high wind. It might save $85 if you can figure out whether you have that or not first, but I dare say it would be a whole lot more that that to actually get the work done.

    How do I delete my name from newsgroup archives?

    Easiest to legally change your name. If you've only posted about the Gimp, what's the problem? Anyone who thinks the Gimp is something sexual, or can't understand that words mean different things across time, language and culture is an idiot (e.g. when I was a kid, BF meant "bloody fool", or...

    How to close door on Sony Handycam ?

    I've got a Sony HDR-HC3 HDV Handycam that's been sitting hooked up as a video camera for a good while, with no tape in the drive. I just opened up the door to check the tape size, and now I can't close it. There's a frame that comes out marked "do not push", then a carrier that pops out of...
