  7. Re:Made quite a mess of some college networks, too on McAfee Retracts Lowball Bug Damage Estimate · · Score: 1

    We managed to keep our labs up during this debacle but the staff and the profs were hit pretty bad. Apparently UVU had to close down all of their labs. The funny thing is that just few days before, our windows guys were talking about finding an alternate solution to McAfee. This pretty much made their minds up for them.

  8. Re:Who's minding the servers? on Server Room Smells Can Be an Early Warning · · Score: 1

    Wow that humor stuff makes a great whoooshing sound as it flies over doesn't it.

    I happen to live in Utah you insensitive clod....

  11. Re:ha ha suckers!!! on Windows Patch Leaves Many XP Users With Blue Screens · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually this is about average for a PhD. I have seen so many lose several years worth of work because their HDD dies and they never backed up.

  12. Re:Nice in theory, but.. on Sandy, Utah Tops US Cities For Broadband Speed · · Score: 1

    As of around September of last year, Qwest started offering fiber connections in Sandy. My father in law has been looking at getting it. It's also available up here in Bountiful and throughout much of Salt Lake City.

  13. Slowest news day ever! on iPhone 3.1 Spotted In Field Testing · · Score: 1

    Really? This has got to be the dumbest, most pointless story (and I use the term lightly) I have ever read on here.

  14. Re:What it really sounds like on Calling Video Professor a Scam · · Score: 1

    Do we really have to wait that long for facebook games to implode?

  15. Re:Connections on Lawmakers Caught Again By File-Sharing Software · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In my experience, politicians are a lot more likely to seek out expert advice in an area contributing to their campaign than techie are.

    Fixed that for you.

  16. Re:They didn't have the right to sell it... on Student Suing Amazon For Book Deletions · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't even read the comments. I just scroll to the bottom to check out witty quotation.

  17. Re:Customer service apparently alive still on Amazon US Refunds Windows License Fee, Too · · Score: 1

    Newegg has some of the best customer service going. The guys and gals on the live chat are always polite and helpful. And as cheesey as it may be I actually get a kick from them telling me to have an eggstraodinary (sp?) day.

  18. Re:That May Work as a South Africa Satire on District 9 Rises From the Ashes of Halo · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? I'm a legal immigrant in the US and aside from the vote issue (which should not stop you from being politically active) I have all the same constitutional rights as a person born here. I am interested in knowing which specific rights you don't have?

  19. Panem Et circensus on Iran Tries To Pacify Protesters With Lord of The Rings Marathon · · Score: 1

    I see they have adopted the US form of population control.

  20. Well Obviously on Is Your Mood a Result of Where You Live? · · Score: 1

    Isn't this like asking if your diet has something to do with what you eat?

  21. Re:So, what was it? on Jack Thompson Spams Utah Senate, May Face Legal Action · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not if he wants to keep looking at other women he doesn't.

  22. Re:Not us. on Should Google Be Forced To Pay For News? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thanks I'd love an omelette right about now

  23. Advice for the OIC member nations on UN Attacks Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Muslim nations have been introducing similar resolutions since 1999, arguing that Islam-the only religion specifically cited in the text-must be shielded from unfair associations with terrorism and human rights abuses.

    Maybe you could get your religions members to stop blowing shit up? Just a thought. I know it is only a very very small subset of muslims doing that. However by trying to enforce this legislation they show an unwillingness to actually deal with the problem of the extremists. Remember ""All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke) .

  24. Re:I vote for Kirk and Spock on Could Fuller Take Trek Back To TV? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And frankly, I'm sick of all the darkness in present science fiction. Science is advancing more all the time and if there was ever a time for optimism based on a scientific society, NOW is it.

    Well said. This was one of Gene's original themes in TOS. He created it with the idea that maybe, just maybe, we as a species were going to make it. Star Trek was always at it's best when it had a message (which Voyager tried to rehash but just came off as preachy).

    Great now I have pretzel and spit all over my monitor.
