    Yeah, but the whale stopped talking.

    I could cheerfully send my compiler professor to a vivisectionist.

  9. Re:My guess on FCC To Allow Cable Companies To Encrypt Over-the-Air Channels · · Score: 1

    Come home and find it? Right now, it happens all the time, in the middle of shows.

  10. Re:except TWC's guide is wrong far too much on FCC To Allow Cable Companies To Encrypt Over-the-Air Channels · · Score: 1

    Suddenlink is the same way. Almost every day their system is off by an hour, until about noon, then it syncs up. Of course, a number of the channels only show "DTV" as the show being carried, so it's only a slight improvement. I would go OTA, but even when TV was still analog, the area I am in had very poor reception.

  11. Re:sounds legit on Seattle Police Want More Drones, Even While Two Sit Unused · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My wife has a vagina that goes unused but^H^H^Hso I'd like a couple more to play with. What's the issue here?

    Yeah, I have a rogue 'P' on my keyboard. Timpson. I never made it to Crockett in my time in Texas. Rusk, Carthage, even "Naco-nowhere". But not Crockett.

    Only a truly cynical person would take advantage of the open nature of the internet to flame someone he doesn't personally know

    Ok, that made me laugh.

    They had a mini computer at the high school that could be seen in the administrative office when they left the door open. Nobody was *taught* anything, but there were a few people that had some kind of hobby system at home.

  18. Re:Insurance on Ask Slashdot: Transporting Computers By Cargo Ship? · · Score: 2

    Pay attention to what he said. Insurance, and professional packing and documentation are what you need. I used to work in the freight business, and most of the time all goes well, but there are times it does not, and those can be spectacular failures.
    Truck rolls down the side of a mountain.
    Containers fall off ship.
    Ship sinks due to storm, and you are held partly responsible. Hey, the ship would not have been there if your stuff was not going to that port. Maritime rules have some features you would not believe.
    Customs not notified on schedule, penalty assessed.
    The list can go on and on, but this kind of thing is not to be taken lightly.

  19. Re:oh I know! is the answer public transport? on We Don't Need More Highways · · Score: 1

    Just build a special lane for the buses and make them go 150MPH and computer controlled with a bus driver for emergencies. Problem solved. Gas guzzling, efficent, and fast.

    Yeah! With a cross-country route. And, they could have a galley, and a flat tire ejection system, and tanks of soda ...

    Are you kidding? People have been using He in kids balloons since long before 1996. We had a tank of it at the local McDonalds in 1976 for filling balloons for kids parties.

    Once exposed to the radiation the American piss lagers turned into very complex high abv Belgium quads. And the pretzels became self aware and super-intelligent and are now secretly running the federal reserve.

    Boy, are you asking a lot from radiation! Although, it does explain the M&M ads lately...

    Yes, really. I have several remote systems that communicate over cellular data connections, and the routers use PCMCIA cell modems. Sometimes I have to test the card separate from the router.

  25. Re:Unionize on Ask Slashdot: When Does Time Tracking at Work Go Too Far? · · Score: 1

    Uh, well, maybe not evil, but rather ill suited for his.her job. If someone is goofing off on the throne, or water cooler, or break room, whatever, disciplinary procedures should result, including firing the goof-off. Trust me, co-workers know when someone is not carrying their own weight, and really dislike having blanket punishment from management that does not have the balls to fire those that need it. I interviewed with a company in Dallas that had a policy that everyone took their 15 minute toilet break in the middle of the morning, and middle of the afternoon, all at the same time. Everyone. Toilet breaks were not allowed at any other time, so people would just have to stifle it. That way, management knew nobody was taking too long. Talk about fostering discontent. Why they were not union, I have no idea.
