  2. Re:Rolling in dough on Google IPO Open for Registration · · Score: 1

    Then again, I'm just a lowly engineer.

    Why not more shares and lower price so those of us who *made* Google what it is could have had at least one share?


    A *very* lowly engineer if you don't have $135 for "at least one share."

    eh... I dunno. My parents would think that was pretty funny. Unless it was gay porn...

  12. Your Tivo can embarass you when you show it off.. on When Profiling Goes Wrong · · Score: 5, Funny

    This article reminded me of my early Tivo days (before I turned the suggestions off).. One time I had some friends over and I wanted to show them my Tivo.. when I turned it on and headed to the menu, what did I find? An episode of 'The Golden Girls', 'ALF', and 'Dukes of Hazzard'! It wasn't until my friends got up off the floor from laughing and making fun of my television tastes that I could explain to them that the Tivo tries to record things based on my tastes.

    More amazingly I gave each of these shows 3 thumbs down.. but every once in a while, Tivo would still record 'Golden Girls' for me.. as if it was trying to say, "Nonono, seriously, this is a good show! You must have just seen one bad episode, give it another try!"

  15. Re:what about some hardcore 802.11b? on Another Stab At Internet Access By Satellite · · Score: 1

    If you have something like that on your roof, you can be arrested and FINED

    Shouldn't you have put "arrested" in all caps instead of "fined"? I certainly would fear getting arrested over getting a fine...

    Anyway.. its not my dish so I am not too worried about it. I just didn't want to slashdot a guys site from out of the blue. I am just mirroring the photo.

  16. Re:what about some hardcore 802.11b? on Another Stab At Internet Access By Satellite · · Score: 2

    Have you checked out http://www.seattlewireless.net? This might be a good starting place for researching such a project.

    Right off the bat you will have to address two important issues.

    1) Security -- 802.11b isn't the most secure technology on the block. Having a neighborhood wide network can lead to a lot of people sniffing packets you might not want them to sniff.

    2) Dealing with your ISP. They won't be to happy about your plans to say the least. ;)

    Why would I pay for satellite access when I can get cable access for the same price

    You wouldn't. You would use satellite if you lived in a rural area with no cable/dsl access... just like the guy who submitted the article.

  24. sims can't get fat on Organizing Sim Protests · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ironically, there are no fat Sims. Veterans of the original game will know this, and the same is true of the online game. There are various head and body skins that simulate different sexes, ethnic types .. even species.. but there are no various body sizes.

    Maxis (EA) should really turn this into a profitable venture by allowing the Sims to gain weight from eating at the SimMcDonalds.. They could strike a deal with Ballys so that people can work their fat Sims out to loose weight at a virtual Ballys.
