  1. Re:A Day in the Life of a Geek? on Are Video Blogs Ready For Prime Time? · · Score: 1

    Good point.

    Then again, Blogging software is very useful to setup a mini portal to a website. It's easy to add updates on the fly to good stuff. I can't say I've run across a BLOG filled with teenage Angst (When I see dark brooding colors and a tinny MIDI file kicks in, I tend to hit the back button). But for keeping track of funny stuff, it's a really useful tool.

    Ezekiel: Did you see that girl?

  3. A constant slapping on Going Cyberpunk · · Score: 2, Funny

    If I had a chip in my brain that allowed people to see what I'm thinking, there should be a law stating women aren't allowed within 20 feet of the monitoring equipment.

  4. Depends on where you're taught on Programmers and the "Big Picture"? · · Score: 1

    Most of the programming courses I've taken focus on teaching you the language, and some of the tricks on using the language.

    Didn't learn how to really program until I got into the real world and dealt with real problems.

    I think a mix of self-taught and instruction yield the best mix.

  5. Re:for the novice on NES PC · · Score: 1

    Definitly a great game.

    Me and my brother would do the same thing. We would always fight over who would get the 'ring' cannon, since it's the best gun in the game. (in my opinion at least)

  6. Re:No more deer for a week on 300 Episodes of the Simpsons · · Score: 2, Funny

  10. Regulation on Aggressive Email Filtering Blocks Political Debate · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can just imagine the outrage if this happened to the bush administation.

    'what do you mean no one got my emails?'

    'It seems your.. uh... last name is causing some issues with spam filters sir'

    'That's it.. lets bomb the spammers'

  11. How Deep? on More on Underwater Gliders · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I wonder how deep these gliders will go? At what depth does the pressure start playing havoc with its sink/swim functions?

    I am really curious as to what we could find if we put a bunch of these in the ocean, and just monitored for objects that don't belong..

    the sunken city of atlantis? :-) but seriously.. I would love to see what kind of data a long term mapping program would compile..

  12. Where is technology going? on Cringley Asking for 12 Month Predictions · · Score: 5, Funny

  14. Re:Sigh on FCC Approves Digital Radio, Kills Satellite Merger · · Score: 1

    Put yourself in the seat of Joe Consumer for a minute.. if you only have a set amount of $$ to spend on a car radio.. which would you buy?

    I personally want a satellite radio, I just am hesitant as to which carrier will survive (BETA vs. VHS all over).. if I buy this technology now for better sounding crap.. it's a sale against Satellite radio..

    more options = more confusion

  15. Sigh on FCC Approves Digital Radio, Kills Satellite Merger · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's things like this that delay early adoption of technology (at least in my eyes).. People will hold off on buying anything until a clear 'winner' emerges from this mess. I was considering Sattelite radio, now I see this. What to do?

    Maybe I'm just bitter at losing my pants on Sattelite Radio stock..

  24. British eh? on Mobile Phone in Your Teeth! · · Score: 1

  25. am I the only one? on The State of PC Audio · · Score: 1

    I have a soundblaster 32, and I have had it for years now putting it in faster machines. I find I just don't care about audio quality and '3D sound'.. so long as the sound works, I'm fine with it.

    maybe I'm just picky because I'm a musician, and expect perfection anyway, so I just settle instead of riling myself up with the newfangled chips?
