  1. Re:Matrox on Modern Video Cards with Open Specs? · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of dual-DVI output cards. Matrox has the advantage of high image quality. double check your shop's return policy! I've had 3 computers (Abit BX6-R2, Shuttle SB61G2, Shuttle SB65G2) that refused to work w/ the P650. In fact, I have my P650 card lying around if you want to buy it.

    This is not an anti-Matrox spiel btw. I used a G200, a G400 and a G550 and I've been happy with all of them. I just happened to not have good luck w/ the P650. The G550 is still in the closet (along w/ other stuff) in case something dastardly happens to my ATI FireGL X1.

  2. stop on Playing Games While Not Ruining Your Relationship? · · Score: 1

    Most of the guys I know are playing City of Heroes with their girlfriends or their wives. (unless they're still playing gunbound or some other game) The only people I know who aren't are the husband and wife couple who only own a single computer, so they basically take turns playing. If she doesn't like it when you play video games, dump her and go find a woman who shares your interests.

  5. zerg on Harmless Pranks During a Downsizing? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Shouldn't you start sending our your resume and start figuring out who won't be fired so you can ask them to provide a reference for you?

    Just don't do something stupid like running magnets over all of the backup tapes, that would be wrong and terribly illegal, especially if someone were to hollow out the inner workings of all of the servers.

  7. zerg on California Offers Cellular Bill of Rights · · Score: 1

    The saying is "As goes California, so goes the rest of the U.S." which makes sense because they're the 5th biggest economy in the world. I don't know if this is true, I just know that during the recent Arnold brouhaha, "they" kept shoving those 2 down my throat.

    So how long until the rest of the United States gets a "cellular bill of rights"?

  8. Re:What is the big deal? on California Offers Cellular Bill of Rights · · Score: 1

    The big deal is that it wasn't like this before. I'm guessing the companies felt they had a god-given right to vast profits and are upset that they will now be stuck only making huge profits instead.

  9. Re:Purple monkey syndrome on On Collaborative Weblogs · · Score: 1

    In the last 3 years, liberals have had a very disturbing habit of being right on just about any topic. A lot of conservative dogma is being (has been) proved to be flat out wrong or hypocrisy.

    Put liberals back in charge for a couple of terms and being conservative will go back to being respectable. Possibly even correct, who knows.

    Aikido. Let's face it, you're a geek, so:

    -you're out of shape.
    -you've got carpal tunnel.
    -you're scared of people bigger than you.

    Aikido will take care of all of those.
