  1. Re:funlove on Are DVDs Software Or Films? · · Score: 1

    That's where your wrong. Top exec's appear to ask stupid questions so that they can possibly make you look at a situation a different way.

    You ask your employees dumb questions to keep them in check and on their toes. As an employer I would be much more comfortable if people could answer basic questions to me over the phone that suttering and looking through their notes for the dumb answer.

    If they think I'm an idiot for questioning them the customer probably wont like the way they present a solution to them.

  2. LOTR on Lighter Side of CPAN · · Score: 1

    From seeing the trailer it looks like there might be a 1/2 decent movie to come out in 2001. Best I've see so far is Zoolander and that doesnt say much.

  3. Its enconomicaly stupid to punish big business on Multinationals And Globalism · · Score: 1

    Doesn't anyone get the fact that in todays market if we piss off someone like microsoft, nike or ford they can just pick up their stuff and move to another country who will gladly accept their money?

    This is what I don't understand about suing companies. Basicly we tell them that we dont want their business and to take their money machine else where. I'm sure russia would LOVE to have microsoft or intel paying taxes in their country.

  4. are those real frag shots? on Trailer For First Person Shooter Documentary · · Score: 1

    people miss with rockets and railguns?????? I should start playing. 1 on 1 tournaments would be a walk in the park.

  5. hmph on JPEG2000: Is It The Future Of Imaging? · · Score: 1

    thats another lib they gotta add to SDL, and another update for mozilla, and dare i say IE. I hope the documentation is good.

  6. If I was billy.... on Government Gives Microsoft Offer Thumbs Down · · Score: 1

    and the government wanted to punish me for having a very successful business I'd pick up the company and go to some other country. I'm sure countries would gladly pay for microsoft to move its headquaters to their country. The same thing is happening with crypto. Microsoft is going to have "export laws" so like the cyptro companies they can move to sweeden or russia and import to the united states. Sure there are a few thousand employees they want to keep. But if they aren't a US business they can't be broken up/be restricted. Maybe they can ban the sale of windows in stores, but nothing stops you from purchasing a cd image on the net and burning a cd. I love linux as much as the next guy but if the government wants to play with other peoples money they can wait in line buy 5% and get a seat on the board.

  7. What would the... on Are Printed Manuals Dead? · · Score: 1

    bathroom reading material with out 500 page manuals. Dont let me sink so low as to read the news paper while on the can.

  8. Just let that stock drop... on More Of Palm Product Line To Go Wireless · · Score: 1

    it means i can buy more shares =) Palmpilot is almost a household name... kinda like nintendo and aol. It can only be good for business right?

  9. 10B2 Network on Playing Games Behind IP Masquerade? · · Score: 1

    I use the 3 line masq solution with ipchains found in many howtos and Ive found it works for multiple machines with my 10 base 2 network(BNC) starcraft, diablo, and everything but worms armagedon and dcc sends work.

  10. Mmm think of the horror... on Laptops In Education · · Score: 1

    if you used a more powerful signal to change those ads into porn =) NOW THAT would get me and my friends through chemistry.

  11. Re:www.privatecitizen.com on Spammers Hit Wireless Phones · · Score: 1

    usworst does stop some of them with its service but they dont stop the 'life insurance' and the 'new uswest service' calls we get frequently in phoenix, az. I called uswest and cussed at the service rep for half an hour about paying to be protected from unwanted phone calls when they still call my number... I got a nice letter from them the other day apoligizing =)

  12. Will this improve installation programs? on Trolltech Developing Qt That Doesn't Need X · · Score: 1

    Having an install disk with qt and the framebuffer device would make graphical installs one step easier. Correct me if I'm wrong but this seems like a good thing =)

    Now we just need gtk to do the same thing

  13. They will when... on The GNOME-Microsoft Connection · · Score: 1

    They start acting like they are supposed to. Seriously, why does ever gtk program have to be gnome only. I use gnome only because of some of their stuff. If I had more time I would remove most of the dependancies on gnome and go windowmaker only.

    and that is my rant.

  14. Re:A simple solution to the squatting problem on New Domain Arbitration Rules Get Results · · Score: 1

    Ok fine I can't sell my domain to companyX but if companyX invites me to a meeting under contract and gives me 50000 bux I'll free up the domain name so they can register it. Every system is flawed

  15. He missed... on The Nine Continents of the Internet · · Score: 1

    The whole pirate culture of warez, free p0rn, script kiddys, and stolen TPM reels. It might be me but these sites are everywhere or a select number of people have a lot to do.

  16. Re:The Games on Forum: Future Ports of Games to Linux · · Score: 1

    What I meant to say is not having opengl doesnt make it any less fun. Quake2 sucks in software... homeworld does not heh. OH NO THE LINES ARENT BLENDED HOMEWORLD SUCKS. did i get my point across now?

  17. Re:I want my life back from TRIBES!!!!!! on Forum: Future Ports of Games to Linux · · Score: 1

    Infintinespawn 1.1 works perfectly under wine. Start it with: wine "infininitespawn.exe all the server stuff" -debug all

  18. Re:The Games on Forum: Future Ports of Games to Linux · · Score: 1

    Homeworld works perfectly in linux with wine. The only reason you would want it ported is for GL graphics which aint a big deal IMHO.

  19. Gotta keep minds focused on Bills to Restrict Campus Internet Access · · Score: 1

    You cant have those real and cyber sluts coming in to the male dorm can you? I mean what else is there to do other than bake your mind outside in the sun.

  20. When your mail box smells like... on Smell Mail to Replace E-mail? · · Score: 1

    When your mailbox has a that smell of racid spam throw it out. Guy1:"My box smells like spam. I dont need to read it now" Guy2:"Well mine smells like pr0n gimme gimme!" Guy3:"Mine smells like crap, time to flush that baby out"

  21. Didnt god invent us? on PTO's New DNA Guidelines · · Score: 1

    I don't belive in god but whouldnt it be a basic value to use against the guys that want to patent everyone. Just think of the day you have to pay someone to have merge your cromosomes togethers for kids.
