  1. Re:It is my hope on Toshiba's One-Minute-Recharge Li-ion Batteries · · Score: 1

    ...big coils under the car that do inductive coupled recharges while you wait at a stop light.

    I won't pretend to know much about battery/electrical tech, and I'm certainly not a "Art Bell" kind of guy, but this scares the hell out me.

  2. Re:Careless? on IE Developer Responds to Mozilla Accusations · · Score: 1

    Hey! There *is* a preview button. I never noticed it before...

  3. Re:False Advertising on Wooden-Cased Computers, Small and Extra-Large · · Score: 1

    But man, he's got Zappa there, too. Can't be *all* bad :)

  4. Re:You can fill it for free. on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    Of course, what other memphian would know shit about old music? :)

    Did we work at fedex at the same time? I think I know who you are if we did...

    Of course feel free to drop by cautioninc.com & say hi.

  5. Re:2 can play this game on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    No, in 15 years he'll look at his non-working napster player & say "I wish I could listen to X's album", just like I now look at all my 15-20yo cassettes.

    Of course *I* have the option of buying a cheapass boombox if I want.

  6. Re:You can fill it for free. on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    Do you mean X w/ Exene & John Doe? That band rocks. I still get a kick out of seeing JD playing some bit part in a movie.

    I stumbled across emusic.com while looking for a copy of an album I had on cassette (Neighborhood Texture Jam). Since then, I've found so much of my older cassette music it's unbelievable. I have my list of stuff I want to download maxed out.

    I *was* sorry when they had to start limiting downloads, but I really wasn't suprised. 40 songs for $10 is still a good deal.

  7. Re:From the article . . . on Batterylife Activator Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Have you gotten any money due to that sig?

  8. Re:Bras!?! on Can Sci-Fi Fans Face the Future? · · Score: 1

    Yes they do. In fact, every woman over 25 who still has nice perky breasts has probably slept in a bra most of her life. I hate it when my gf sleeps in a bra, but 33yo Cs that stand up & say "howdy" makes it worth it.

    My ex-wife never slept in bras, and now she's 27 with nasty, floppy Bs...

  9. Re:Random thoughts on The Death of the Music CD · · Score: 1

    So now we're listening to Johnny Rotten school us on the quality of music? What's next, GG giving us fashion pointers?

  10. Re:Not like Coke employees drinking pepsi. on iPod Most Popular Music Player on Microsoft Campus · · Score: 1

    That's *exactly* what I was thinking...

  11. Re:The boards look great, except... on NVIDIA's nForce Professional and Tyan's Words · · Score: 4, Insightful

    CPU load. SCSI puts much less of a load on your CPU than (s)ata does.

    SATA rocks, though.

  12. Re:What I'd Wish I'd Known on What You'll Wish You'd Known · · Score: 1

    My gf has the best boobs I've ever seen, *and* she's the 2nd smartest person I've ever met.

    Chuck is smarter, but not nearly as attractive. Not to mention he's really freaking weird.

  13. Re:"youth is wasted on the young" on What You'll Wish You'd Known · · Score: 1

    At my office, a pair of twins (male) got hired straight out of college. They were consistently 2-3 hours late and when they got there, they slept another 2-3 hours at their desk. They worked there almost 3 years before they were let go, and that was only because their project (with 2 other ppl) was scrapped.

  14. Re:Work for a small niche company on Programming Until Retirement? · · Score: 1

    Not sure, I'm the network guy. I'd say the AC was about right, in the 40-50k range (not too bad for our low COL).

  15. Work for a small niche company on Programming Until Retirement? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My company writes a specific software app for the banking industry. There isn't a single programmer under 30, few (other than the boss) works more than 45 hours a week, and most have been there 5 years or more.

    It's not all that interesting, but it's a decent job. Just don't expect the megabucks.

  16. Re:A Zen question... on ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers · · Score: 1

    I had something similar happen, only it was a high-school crush.

    AND (for post above) we've been together almost 3 years now.

  17. Re:This quote sums it up on Interview of the Windows XP SP2 Dev Team · · Score: 1

    Hmm. I use MS products every day (and cleaning spyware is what's mostly paying the bills). Why *doesn't* MS just dump Windows & start fresh? Didn't they buy VirtualPC, couldn't they just add a (fairly) transparent VM to implement backwards compatibility?

    It was my understanding that a lot of the problems the opensource "windows on linux" projects have is lack of access to the Windows source code, MS wouldn't have that problem.

  18. Re:Counterpoint. on Huge Parachute Saves Crashing Planes · · Score: 1

    smart-ass :)

  19. Re:Life Recorder on The Future of the P.C. · · Score: 1

    There's a site that does something similar. I suck and don't have the url, but his name is Milt, and I think it's "things my girlfriend and I have fought about".

    Fun site :D

  20. Re:TV tuners on External TV Tuners/PVR Devices Tested · · Score: 1

    The beauty of PVRs is that you get to watch what you want, when you want. There *is* some decent stuff on tv (cable, at least), it's just never on when I happen to get time to watch tv. With my pvr, whenever I sit down to watch tv, I know I'll get to watch something I like.

    Go South Park!!! :)

  21. Re:Someones gotta start it on EA Trying to Buy Ubisoft Shares · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You ought to use the euro symbol instead...

  22. Re:Said under breath while feigning a cough... on Virtual Island Sells For $26,500 · · Score: 1

    The Dead Milkmen rock!

  23. Re:Praise Indeed on Review: Half-Life 2 · · Score: 1

    What resolution do you play at? I have an XP2500+ w/ 512 & a Radeon 9200, and I could barely play HL:Source.

  24. Re:Home Taping is Killing Music ! on Music Downloading not Entirely to Blame · · Score: 1

    I like the Dead Kennedys tape that said basically the same thing on side 2, but added "We left this side blank to help"...

  25. Re:what do they have to prove? on BitTorrent Accounts for 35% of Traffic · · Score: 1

    They'll just subpoena (?) your computer until they can check it. How long did it take Steve Jackson Games to get their computers back? Of course, if you have *no* illegal media on your PC, I'm sure you won't mind if they borrow it for a few years...
