  1. How long can something like this last? on Ethics In Computer Consulting · · Score: 2

    I can't imagine a consultant lastling very long in the business if he continually rips off a customer. There are only so many businesses out there and after a while you need repeat business. If you continually rip off your clients they will never ask for you and spread the word. Soon You will find yourself with no clients and then out of business. But if you do keep your ethics you will find that repeat business will make up the majority of your clients.

  2. A little inflated? on Counting The Cost Of Spam · · Score: 1

    I can't imagine spam costing $10 billion a year. Porn is probably much more expensive by far.

  3. Wait till it's cracked on Speeding To Become Impossible In UK? · · Score: 5

    I suppose once the system is in place there won't be any more patrollers on the road looking for speeders. So if you crack it you can speed and no one will looking for you. So for once I suppose I'll be on time :-)

  4. Watch out. on NASA Controls Jet With Nerve Signals · · Score: 5

    Can you imagine the pilot having too much coffee?

    "Sorry folks for that wee bit of turbulence. I drank an extra cup of coffee today and I'm a little jittery"

    Probably going to be the first plane crash due too caffiene.

  5. It's gottan be big on Build Your Own Set Top Box · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you guys but anything smaller than 21in just doesn't cut it for me. I need a big boy displaying my movies. I don't think I could settle for divx encoding either. Maybe when the encoding gets a little better and they start adding DTS sound tracks to movies you can pirate off gnutella.

  6. Forget Plastic on Plastic Valley? · · Score: 4

    Forget plastic the future is styrofoam.

    Just wait until X-Mas morning when you open up that package and inside is your brand new AMD styrofoam CPU that just hit the market. Of course it will be packed in old Pentium IIIs.

  7. Nothing good ever comes out of Italy on Italian, U.S. Scientists Unveil Human Cloning Efforts · · Score: 1

    This is how it starts. First they say it's just some harmless cloning. Then soon their are some Jedi that get cloned and all of a sudden you have a full blown clone wars on your hands. Don't these scientist realize what road they are taking us on.

  8. Re:Anime gives geeks a bad image on Akira Being Rereleased · · Score: 1

    I truly hope that this is satire. You should note that you are judging an entire movie genre, if not an entire nation, based on only a few movies. But perhaps you are right and we should call out the thought police and arrest all of those filthy movie goers who enjoy anime.

  9. Re:Contact you state's wage and hour division. on She Was Fired, But Never Told · · Score: 1

    Do you suppose it matters that I was an independent contractor?

  10. I Quit and I'm still waiting for my paycheck on She Was Fired, But Never Told · · Score: 1

    I quit my .com after half the staff got laid off. My boss was real understanding and now I know why. They never intended to give me my last paycheck! So the 15th roles around no paycheck. They tell me it's in the mail. Finally they admit to me that it's not coming. What do I do? I'm still trying to get my money. If any of you have ideas I would appreaciate it. (By The Way I'm an independent contractor so my situation is a little speacial). Just goes to show that you have to watch out becasue some companies just want to stab you in the back.

  11. Their leaving the whole portal market altogether on AltaVista Gives Up On E-mail [Updated] · · Score: 2

    I work for a company that works with AltaVista's Channels. The word is that they are leaving the portal market altogether and they are going to cease providing any source of content.
    <P>
    It seems that most of the people their are fairly disgruntled after waiting and waiting for the supposed IPO that is right around the corner. These guys are heading straight for the toilet. At least that's my oppinion.
