  1. Star trek on What Was Your First Gaming Experience? · · Score: 1

    Star trek where each "screen" was printed out on a teletype machine. Wasted tons of cpu time when, you payed for cpu time.

  2. Re:Different technologies, different purpose on E-mail Is For Old People · · Score: 1

    When I was a kid you had to write notes to pass in class when the teacher wasn't looking or wait to pass it the hall if the note was to go to some one in another class. And if the teacher caught you, you would have to read it in front of the class. Kids now days don't know how easy they have!

    No one complains that 85% of the nursing field is female and 75% of the librarians are female. Or that 60% of the college graduates are now female.

  5. Re:Lost productivity on Microsoft Issues Ominous ASP.Net Security Warning · · Score: 1

    Just look at it as 8.7 million hours of IT work. Microsoft is helping the unemployed IT worker. But the question is: Which country's unemployed are they helping.?

  6. For Computer Stuuf on Websites For The Frugal? · · Score: 1

    I always check pricewatch.com for computer parts. As always buyer beware.

    Waste alot of cpu time in Grad school on that game. (Back in the days when you had to buy time based on how cpu time you used.)

  8. You want Stress.... on Appreciating Your Stressful IT Job? · · Score: 1

    If you want Stress try working the ER at a local hospital after a 5 car pile up on the interstate with broke limbs, head and back injuries. When 2 ppl. are dropped off by the police who are psychotic demanding Xanex to calm them down or they are going to kill themselves. (Last nights shift.)

  13. See Columbus, Indiana on A Geek's Tour Of North America? · · Score: 1

    This may be a surprise to everyone but for architecture and samll town America, Columbus, IN is the palce to visit.
    http://columbus.in.us/page.asp?page=Archit ecture

    "Columbus has earned world-wide recognition for its modern architecture. In 1991, the American Institute of Architects surveyed 829 of its members. They ranked Columbus 6th among U.S. cities in architectural quality and innovation. Only Chicago, New York, Washington, San Francisco, and Boston were ranked higher."

    I would recommend staying at the B&B that is the old city hall. This is also the home of Cummins Engines. And the Cummins foundation pays for the fees of buildings in town that is why all the great architecture. I had a great weekend there once.

  14. Non-profits on Open Source as Programming Exp. for College Students? · · Score: 1

    Most non-profit agencies have a need for help in this area. Most are on a tight budget which is gettng tighter this year. The expereiecnce you will get is working on a team, meeting deadlines, and working with people who have minimal experience in IT (forcing you to translate what you know in ordinary people language.) The project maybe small or large, maybe sysad, maybe documenting what they have and fine tuning it. In the end you get great experience, grateful people, and great references,

  15. Re:What's so different about this and... on When PC Still Means 'Punch Card' · · Score: 1

  17. Re:FischerTechnik on Erector Set Turns 100 · · Score: 1

    The set I had had an electric moter and when you geared it right you could make a record playes with a paper speaker. Crude but it did paly records! The car was limited by the length of the extension cord.

  20. Running with the Squirrels on Interesting Commercials · · Score: 1

    I thought EDS's running with the squirrels was a roit. Made me think of Linux.

  21. What do the M.D.'s get paid for on call on How Do Companies Pay for "On-Call" Support? · · Score: 1

    Since it is a hospital ask for the same rate as the M.D.'s get paid for on call. If it is mission critical then it must be life or death. Be like the Docs.

  22. Put them in Babbel fish too! on She Blinded Me With Quickies · · Score: 1

    I would like the Hierolglyphs to be included in Babbel Fish also. I would love to sent my boss a memo that had been translated into Hieroglyphs. It would make more sense that some of the policies that have recently been put in place.
