  1. Re:IE Users who watch Fox News on Internet Explorer Users Have Low Risk Intelligence · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    IE Users who also watch Fox News are more likely than most to be in a coma and on life support, but on their own dime... cause even in a coma, they didn't need no damn government assistance!

    That was me.. failing to login before posting.

  2. Windows Phone 7 + Zune on Windows Phone 7 Update Jams Some Phones · · Score: 0

    Maybe if you sell them both you can afford to buy a refurbed iPhone from AT&T or Apple.

    even if it was you, would you admit to it? Reputations and careers could be ruined by something like that.

    User: There is an error on page X
    I tweak that page code on the production server after looking at the error log. Me back to User: An error really? Have you tried pressing F5?
    User: Oh.. hmmm I guess I must have done something wrong. Sorry for bugging you!
    Me: Hey, no problem.

  5. so... on The Coming Onslaught of iPad Competitors · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yep, I bet everyone will abandon the iPad once some of the incredible competitor models are revealed.. I really can't wait for one of those awesome Windows 7 based 'tablets' ... other companies have been making 'tablet' computers since the early 2000's, but not until Apple produced one of their own has anyone really taken interest in them.

  6. Well I guess on Wikileaks Was Launched With Intercepts From Tor · · Score: 2, Funny

    those chinese hackers are good for something.. I'm thinking if we ever catch one though.. we'll sentence them to work in that Foxconn plant making iPhones ...

  7. Re:My plate is pretty full right now... on Corporate IT Just Won't Let IE6 Die · · Score: 1

    It is mainly past devs creating web apps that rely on IE6-only hooks yes. It is sad, but true. Even some commercially developed web apps have this problem. I deal with them daily and wish I could fix them, but do to license agreements/support contracts/etc... I cannot.

  8. Re:My plate is pretty full right now... on Corporate IT Just Won't Let IE6 Die · · Score: 1

    Like I said in my first post, I'm working on it. I handle several websites and webapps on a daily basis, along with going back and reworking older webapps if I have spare time. Sometimes it can be really annoying and painful to do, but in the end I feel better personally and the closer I get to being able to recommend Firefox for everything the happier I really am.

  9. My plate is pretty full right now... on Corporate IT Just Won't Let IE6 Die · · Score: 5, Informative

    but I'm working on it! The only way to get Corporate/Management off of IE6 is to fix any web apps you have in your organization that won't work on anything but that.

  10. Re:Why are you surprised? on Microsoft Applies For Patent On Tufte's Sparklines · · Score: 1

    Why off topic? My point was that they never pay attention to such things so they wouldn't have noticed they can't patent Sparklines. In this case I don't point my finger at Microsoft and scream bloody murder, I simply say they are ignorant in the matter.

  11. Why are you surprised? on Microsoft Applies For Patent On Tufte's Sparklines · · Score: 1, Funny

    It is very obvious that Microsoft has never payed much attention to design concepts, especially user interface design concepts.

  12. This is all about history being cyclic.. on Google Releases Source To Chromium OS · · Score: 1

    We moved away from mainframes and dumb terminals to desktop computers and now we are moving back again... (cloud computing and the like) after the love affair has ended with that we will be moving back to the equivalent of the desktop computer.

    dumb terminals? You mean computers using Windows?

    Don't you see? The FAA was chosen as the Windows 7 upgrade test bed for the U.S. Govt Then if it doesn't work and people die, they can just blame Microsoft. Everyone hates them anyway right???

  19. Re:What questions? on Public School Teachers Selling Lesson Plans Online · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My wife is a teacher so I can speak from experience. Teachers try to find ways to keep the students interested in the course material and don't always have extra time to brainstorm up new ideas to accomplish this (they have lives too). So buying a lesson plan off another teacher isn't all that bad. It is not the information they buy, but how to present it in some way that is compelling. Basically you are marketing the course material to the student with your lesson plan... some lesson plans are better at it than others.

  20. *First post.. on Public School Teachers Selling Lesson Plans Online · · Score: 4, Informative

    The teacher owns the material, it is they who develops it and in no way has to do with the schools.

    I do have cable.. however the shows I watch are all also available on either syfy.com or nbc.com or as a torrent (at lesser quality). I use Hulu because I miss shows sometimes (reading to my kids) and so.. I use hulu.

  23. my vote goes to on Hulu May Begin Charging For Content Next Year · · Score: 1

    extending the unstoppable commercials to 60 seconds, gives me more time to run and get a drink/food or go take a quick leak. But I won't be paying for any content that I currently get from Hulu for "free".
