    "Personally I think anyone who spells their nick with numbers in an effort to look 'leet' deserves to have their computer confiscated"

  2. TSN? on Major League Dreidel · · Score: 2

    When will TSN start televising this? If they can televise Poker, then can Major League Dreidel be far behind?

  3. Re:Mass relay? on Curious NASA Pre-Announcement · · Score: 1

    There is no black monolith on Mars. There is a small one on the moon and a larger one in orbit of Jupiter, or on one of the moons of Saturn, depending on if you subscribe to the books or the movies. Arthur C. Clarke is my hero.

  5. Anti-bacterial soap will kill you all. on Being Too Clean Can Make People Sick · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But it won't kill me, because I won't use them. In the past 20 years or so we have become so afraid of dirt that our kids will have practically no immune system at all.

  6. How to win friends and influence people. on What To Load On a 4-Year-Old's Netbook? · · Score: 1

    The greatest book I have ever read. I reread it at least once a year.
    I was at a swapmeet a couple of years ago and someone was selling the audio book on CD, I bought it with out a second thought. I have since encoded to MP3 and have them on my iPod. I listen to them in the car driving to and from work.
    And yes you can use it to easily bed married or single women.

    How long before your 4 year old clicks on a goatse link?
    While I agree that seeing a breast will not screw anyone up, you just can't unsee goatse.

  8. Re:What do they have to hide? on UK Asks News Outlets Not To Publish WikiLeaks Bombshell, US Prepares For Fallout · · Score: 1

    You mean the war where Canadians torched the white house, then stood around looking for someone to fight. But no one came, so the Canadians got bored and went home.

    Canada, the only country to ever invade the United States.

  10. Re:.SEX & .XXX & Routers.. OH MY! on British MP Calls For Pornography 'Opt-In' · · Score: 1

    People tend to write the most about what they know the most about.
    Most people learn the most from experience.
    Therefore, most conservatives are experienced homosexuals.

    It is logic. You can't argue with logic.

  11. Re:Hell yes!!! on Anxiety and IT? · · Score: 1

    Actually I belong to the group that has a 6 pack in the fridge that has been sitting there for 2 weeks.
    I have a good friend who is also in computers, and once or twice a week we hit the pub have a beer or two with a meal and bitch about our employers. It usually turns into a game of who's employer is more fucked. He always wins.
    But with out those stress relieving pub nights many of my users would have simply disappeared. Perhaps I can convince my employer to pay for my pub nights.

  12. Hell yes!!! on Anxiety and IT? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Massive anxiety, and stress.
    Frequently relieved by Beer.

    At the moment you can drive anywhere you like without being hassled by the TSA. Rest assured that they will get to you sooner or later. The USA is about 1/4 way down a slippery slope and picking up speed.

    You could save a lot of money by hireing Pedophiles to doe the screenings. In fact I bet you could make money.

  16. Re:we have the same policy at work on When Your Company Remote-Wipes Your Personal Phone · · Score: 1

    It is allowed where I work. Sending passwords through email is not. Sending confidential information through email is a fireable offence. I have seen two people fired for it.

  17. Re:we have the same policy at work on When Your Company Remote-Wipes Your Personal Phone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have the same thing here. I always inform staff that I can and will wipe their phones. At their request, and that they should inform me at once if they lose of have their phone stolen.
    My personal iphone is connected to a gmail account that I forward a copy of all my work email.
    That way I get work email, but it is still my account.

  18. Waiting on The DIY Car Computer vs. the iPad · · Score: 1

    I want a carputer. But I drive a soft top Jeep with doors that do not lock, so that is out.
    I looked at the iPad as a possible solution, but just was not right for what I wanted. (Locked down, glossy screen.)
    Android. Maybe, but not right now.
    Microsoft. MS has no place in my car.
    I came to the conclusion what I really want is a Windows 7 tablet; wiped out, and reinstalled with Linux.
    So hurry up and fail with the Windows 7 tablets already. I can hardly wait to pick one up from the clearance bin.

  19. Re:OS/2 on The Software That Failed To Compete With Windows · · Score: 1

    I loved OS/2. I especially loved how I could start a 14.4 modem download and switch over and play Doom. Windows users could play Solitaire while their download completed in the background, and I was playing doom. :) Those were the days.

    Why don't sharks eat lawyers? Professional courtesy.
    What is the difference between a lawyer and a catfish? One is a scum sucking bottom feeder, and the other is a fish.

  21. Re:Another reason why this won't happen on US May Disable All Car Phones, Says Trans. Secretary · · Score: 1

    That is how it is here. I have seen the exact behaviour you are describing. But no government is stupid enough to give up a revenue stream. I used to think governments were stupid, but one day I realized that their actions were far to malicious to be caused by simple stupidity.

  22. Another reason why this won't happen on US May Disable All Car Phones, Says Trans. Secretary · · Score: 1

    I am surprised no one else has mentioned this. If instead of blocking cel phones in cars they simply pass a law making it subject to a large fine if/when you are caught. Instant revenue stream.

  23. Someone must die on Oracle Solaris 11 Express Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am sitting here trying to take a short break from fighting with MySQL on Solaris, and I find that Oracle has released Solaris 11, with Encrypted ZFS, something that I have needed for over a year. I think I will get out my bow, and hunt down Larry, he must pay. Or maybe I will just install Linux on this box and be happy.

    I plan on raising my voice a few octaves, adding a lisp and doing my best Mr. Slave impression. "Oh, Jesus, Jesus Christ!"
