  1. Re:So what is this... on Using a Toy Train To Calibrate a Reactor · · Score: 1

    Dammit. I guess I better get my account reactivated tomorrow sometime.

  2. Re:not a bargain on What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink? · · Score: 1

    OMG, I feel like an idiot now, lol. I'm definitely doing that when I get home tonight, thanks again!

  3. Re:not a bargain on What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink? · · Score: 1

    I have a Brother ink jet also, and get pissed about that. Where do you put the tape?

  4. Re:Of course on Man "Beats" World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    You know, I'm glad you still see WoW that way. I finally quit at the beginning of the summer because I was just waaaaaay to jaded.

  5. Re:Yeah just ignore the science on Hacker McKinnon To Be Extradited To US · · Score: 1

    Nah, just unicorn farts.

  6. Re:Shame on you Facebook! on Trapped Girls Call For Help On Facebook · · Score: 2, Informative

  7. Try Windows 7? on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I would, but with some of the problems I had with Vistax64 (could have been hardware issues), I might wait until SP1 at least. Hell, it took me that long to migrate from Windows 2000. I waited until frakking SP1 was out!

  8. Every Company Will Be Different. on Suitable Naming Conventions For Workstations? · · Score: 1

    In every company I have worked for, there has always been a naming convention. Now for my current employer:
    CA02CS09M

    CA = Abbreviation for city
    02 = I have no clue, I'm just a programmer Jim!
    CS = Computer Services
    09 = Nth number in the department (I'm going to assume per purchase/issue).
    M = Mobile/Laptop

  9. Acupunture points. on World's Oldest Tattoo Written In Soot · · Score: 1, Interesting
    According to the article

    Clothing would have obscured most of the designs, which are of crosses and bands of lines. Some are located near acupuncture points.

    Some of the tattoos are near acupuncture areas. Not only were our ancestors playing bone flutes 35,000 years ago, but were also doing primitive medicine 5300 years ago. (Note homeopathic)

    To me that is just amazing.

    Sorry, that should have been TFS. letsgetlost tag in summary?

  11. Location? on Pictures of Kuril Islands Volcano From ISS · · Score: 1

    Well, from TFA "The extraordinary image was captured by the crew of the International Space Station 220 miles above a remote Russian island in the North Pacific."
    Not sure if Japan moved, or if Russia is trying to take over territory. :)
    Disclaimer: I did not look for a map to find the location.

  12. Interesting! on 35,000-Year-Old Flute Is Oldest Music Instrument Ever Found · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It makes a person wonder just how long ago music was enjoyed (besides whistling or singing) or did we just grunt our way around?

  13. Re:So Opera web browser now runs as a system servi on Opera Unite Web Server Benchmarked · · Score: 0

    Well, right now I just checked how much memory that FF is using on my machine and it has consumed 384, 164 K of memory. Two tabs open.
    I just did a fresh install of XP Pro on this machine 5 days ago.
    Flamers go away, FF did much better when I was running Vista Ultimate memory-wise. One more beer then bed I promise!

  14. Re:What about Jews? on Visualizing the Ideological History of SCOTUS · · Score: 2, Funny

    LOL forget about that little checkbox called AC?

    Hmmm, maybe I didn't look hard enough, but I didn't see anything in the US Constitution about legal tender. http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.overview.html

  16. Have fun with them! on Auto Warranty Robocall Scammers Busted · · Score: 0
    I love to mess with them.

    When they call, be very attentive to what they are saying. When they ask what type of vehicle and what not, just say 57 Chevy with oh about 500.000 miles. I can guarantee 6 out of 10 times you will get the automatic hang up.

    Try to be as insistent as possible before they hang up that you really, really need warranty. Listen to them stutter, lol.

    Yes, I'm an ass. My vehicle is a 1995 Chevy with 210k miles. PLEASE GIVE ME WARRANTY NAO! :)

  17. How rural are you thinking? on US Switch To DTV Countdown Begins · · Score: 0

    My mother lives in south central WY along the I-80 corridor, and the only station (repeater) in the area is 60 miles away. Her signal comes in loud and clear.

    Of course there are no large trees, only thing that could effect the signal would be the terrain which is extremely variable.

  18. Re:That's Obvious on Why Isn't the US Government Funding Research? · · Score: 1, Troll

    I know people didn't like McCain but he did want to fund research and offer reewards for things like new battery technology.

    Citation please.

  19. Re:You know... on Music Streaming to Overtake Downloads · · Score: 1

    Find someone you know that lives in a country where Spotify works, and get an account created from their IP address. You can use it for up to two weeks, then the person that created the account will have to reset it.

  20. Re:You Don't Know Anything About Homelessness .... on How American Homeless Stay Wired · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just wanted to say thank you for this post. I hope it hits everyone like it hit me.

    Here comes the redundant bat!

  22. Re:Can we on Original Cast On Board For Ghostbusters 3 · · Score: 1, Informative

    Nope, all CGI from what I remember. They did have a body cast from the first Terminator if I remember correctly that they used.

    Seriously... would you want a flabby Arnold in the latest Terminator?

    I sure as hell don't.

  23. Re:Can we on Original Cast On Board For Ghostbusters 3 · · Score: -1

    No, it's called being over 40.

  24. Re:Stereotypes usually have some kernal of truth on Does Dell Know What Women Want In a Laptop? · · Score: 0

    ...use MacBooks, drive hybrids, sip a cup of overpriced coffee while wearing their designer glasses and twitter everything insignificant in their lives.
