  1. pr0n on How Do I Talk To 4th Graders About IT? · · Score: 1

    Make sure they understand that Flash pr0n is not as good as mpeg pr0n and that it's OK to wait 10 minutes to get a whole DVD verses just 3:30 of a movie. Also remind them that EVERYONE on the internet is a 45 year old pervert who wants to touch their private bits. Oh and tell them you work on airplanes.

  2. Re:Well fucking DUH on Helping Some Students May Harm High Achievers · · Score: 1

    Then NCLB is actually a step in the right direction. But I'm still not wrong because all of this has been happening long before NCLB.

  3. Well fucking DUH on Helping Some Students May Harm High Achievers · · Score: 2

    But this isn't a problem created by No Child Left Behind - this shit has being going on since God only knows when in American Education. Stupid kids get all the attention and smart kids get to sit quietly and wait... the worst part of it is the mediocre kids get no attention and they're the ones who truly should get the most. They don't have to be mediocre they could improve.

    I don't know when American Education started striving for mediocrity but it's clear that's what's going on. Any of us who were bored out of their skulls in school can attest to that.

  4. They make smarter greener IT purchases? on Gen Y Workers Reinventing IT for the Better · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who gives a fuck? Show up to work on time. Stop texting during 15 minutes meetings. Basically STFU and do your job well enough so that I trust you to make your own decisions. Stop questioning everything because at the end of the day your MySpace page experience is bullshit.

  5. Well... pong... but experience? Zork. on What Was Your First Gaming Experience? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Pong! then Hack then Adventure... but really immersed? Really engaged? Zork. I didn't eat. It was all I cared about. When Zork II came out I "tested" every possible permutation of the spinning room. I wasn't even playing the game, I was seeing what would happen... ::Fear ::I don't know the word fear

  6. Computers and pr0n on Replacing a Thinkpad? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I cannot, in good conscience, buy a new computer until they put new pr0n on the internet!

    Good luck. They're in bins at places like Staples, etc.

  9. Microsoft makes a great trackball on Mouse or Trackball? · · Score: 1

    I use them at work and home. The Trackball Explorer is fantastic. And yes, playing games with it rocks like Gibraltar!

    I use it on my Powerbooks, and the FreeBSD server I run on the basement... I realize this is sacrelig, but the things kick ass.

    I'm an American Goddammit! I demand to be TOLD things.

  11. So it ended... on The Sopranos Ends With a ... · · Score: 4, Funny

    and I canceled HBO.

    Not just because the ending sucked but because there's nothing else I watch on those channels.

    But that episode really sucked. I get it, "You won't know it's coming. Everything will just go black."

    I don't care.

    Besides I really wanted to see Meadow and AJ beheaded. There I said it. I can't take it back. It's out there.

  12. No on Is Virtual Rape a Crime? · · Score: 5, Insightful

  16. Once again... on FCC Nixes Satellite Radio Merger · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Once again let me state, the FCC needs to be abolished. It serves no purpose. It failed at it's only given task. It is a pointless commission that loses billions of dollars. I mean literally loses. Hey where's that two billion we got siphoning off the phone bills of Americans? It was just here a minute ago I swear.

  17. US Consitution on Feds Check Credit Reports Without a Subpoena · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Has nothing to say abut Credit Reports. Anyone with 100USD can get your credit report pulled. Take a look.

  18. It's too bad about Frosty McPsycho on Global Warming Only a Theory, Says School Board · · Score: 0

    The truth is Global Warming is just a theory, just like The New Ice Age was a few decades ago and Silent Spring was before that... Unfortunately the Frosty's give creedence by way of their idiocy to people just as admant about their wacky beliefs.

  20. Re:Minor error in summary on How Craigslist is Keeping up Internet Ideals · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Real estate is not the only paid category. Jobs postings in the largest markets are also revenue producers. (Although at $25 it can't be beat) You are correct MetFan!
