  1. Re:I remember... on Challenger 25 Years Later · · Score: 1

    I was in high school, grade 11 as I recall. Due to the teacher in space there was quite a lot of interest in the launch. TVs scattered around the school to watch. What I remember most vividly was how everything and everyone simply stopped.
    It is strange how even now, after 25 years. Thinking back to that day I tear up.

    I don't have a price.

    Yes, you do! Pray that you never find out what it is.
    Keep in mind that said price may not be expressed in money.

  3. Re:Ewww ... on Law Firm Sues Taco Bell Over Lack Of Beef In "Beef" · · Score: 1

    Why don't people want to believe that McDonald's burgers are all beef?

    I think it is because they do not taste like beef. Believe me, I love a good burger, but McDonalds does NOT make a good burger.

    I think you got the wrong evil soulless corporation there. Nice try though.

    I hang dry all my pants. If I don't the legs get too short and I look like I am getting ready for a flood. Then I toss them in the dryer for 5 minutes just to soften them up a bit.

  8. Re:Bit Torrent on How Do You Store Your Personal Photos? · · Score: 1

    Won't work. Most torrent search engines allow ranking and commenting on torrents and it'll soon be marked as 'fake' and people will stop accessing it.

    Easy as cake to solve that one. Jump on th site once a month and toss up a comment something like "Awesome! The scene with $CELEBRITY taking it up the ass is fantastic!"
    That way there will always be suckers willing to download it.

    Zip them up and call the file something like "HD Celebrity sex tapes collection" and upload it to your favorite bit torrent site.
    I call it my free foolproof backup solution.
    Then you can just download your pictures any time you need them.

  11. Re:And on the other side on Should Employees Buy Their Own Computers? · · Score: 1

    I agree completely. For any company to require me to use my own hardware, there had better be some kick-ass perks coming my way, or I will just take a pass. Now if any company were to offer me a situation good enough (Pay/benefits) that I would be willing to accept a policy like this I would just buy a machine for work, and keep my personal computer personal.

    Remote Desktop is the best thing Microsoft ever copied.

    That only works once. The next time the people just yawn and see what is on the other channels.

  18. Re:This is a good thing, in the long run. on In-Car Technology Becoming More Important Than Horsepower · · Score: 1

    It still drives thru every pothole, can not handle sudden avoidance maneuvers safely, and has no clue about the child running toward the street from behind a row of parked cars, can't get out of the way of emergency vehicles, or even anticipate the jet-wash of a passing semi.

    Sadly the same can be said of most of the drivers I see on the road during my commute.

    Many many years ago I fought for, and won, the right to hand in type written assignments. I was the first student in my school to be allowed to do this. This would have been about 1984.

    I am going to put this bluntly. You are WRONG. Reading is one of my favorite pastimes, and I have terrible spelling. I also spent hundreds of hours in remedial classes because of it, to no effect.
