I'll tell you the same answer I tell my son when he asks me an impossible question:

"Very carefully, boy - and with great skill!"

Karma to burn

On: The Rise of CSI

this is going right to the negative numbers, but I haven't posted to /. in a few years, and wanted to start trolling right away.

See the .sig for an idea how long it's been since I went away!

"d00d! is there a way to unzip like 30 zip files all at once? without having to double click on each one of them?"

Upon re-reading the comment, he did say unzip, and not _open_. My bad.

And what is the HTML for underline? I forget off the top of my head.

Or, if you have winzip, you could select them all, right-click drag them to where you want to unzip them, and click extract

Or, just highlight and smack ye olde enter key.

My Post Is Offtopic

On: Forget The Pentium, Hack The 68K

But it has to do with getting rid of - or getting - unwanted computer hardware.

freeboxen.com is a site for people to unload the hardware they don't want for people who do. I just stumbled across it in another thread. It could really use some support. What a great idea!

On: Methods For Computer And Monitor Disposal?

Dude, if I had moderation points, you'd get them. It's good to hear about this site! Now, we've just got to let everyone know about it. There's almost nothing there now.

Re:R Rated Cartoons

On: Star Blazers Available Online

Speaking of R rated cartoons, anyone other than me watch Inhumanoids?

Sure. I loved that show. I can't remember for the life of me what it was about, tho. Something about giant monsters who did stuff (yeah, like _thats_ not vague, or anything)

Galaxy Rangers

On: Star Blazers Available Online

I was deprived of the Star Blazers as a child. But does anyone remember the Galaxy Rangers? Anyone I've asked about seem to not remember them. They were the coolest. It was almost a rated 'R' cartoon for it's time.

Wonder of Word-Of-Mouth Advertising

On: Is Netpliance Slamming Customers?

Your story will definitely keep people away from CC. I read a statistic once that said something to the effect of "A happy customer will net you two new customers, while an unhappy customer will drive away ten customers."

At this rate, I don't know how CC can syay in business. I know I won't buy anything from them. Especially with stories like that.

Yes, alas, but I guess I should have tried. Well, you know what they say about hindsight...
