  1. I'm ashamed... on Darwin's Revenge In Kansas · · Score: 1

    this shouldn't even be an issue... Is it to late to kick kansas out of the union? Has this come up in other states? I was pretty sure evolution was an indisputable fact... guess I was wrong.

  2. NEWS UPDATE on Ericsson And Red Hat In Home Communications · · Score: 1

    Ericsson announced today that it would combine all the buzziest buzz words it could find into one product in a desperate attempt to regain some market share from Nokia and Motarolla. President and CEO, Mr. Ericsson said "If we squeeze enough buzz words into this product it's sure to be popular.. I don't see how we can miss really..".

    thanks

  3. Re:You are the selfish person the article refers t on Selfish Society · · Score: 1

    Maybe some people get lucky, but it's the exception.. If you have the right work ethic and bust your ass you can go from the street to being a millionaire in a matter of a few years! My best friend didnt even graduate highschool! He did/sold drugs and hung out... he got a tech support job one day... loved it... learned HTML... now he does sys admin and codes and makes over 6 figures... 3 years later!!! from doing dishes and selling drugs to making 6 figures in 3 years! Its all about the person, not some bullshit luck or fate..

  4. Re:Some thoughts for when the crisis hits on Overcomming Programmer's Block? · · Score: 1

    Ouch :) just dont take him to your co-location facility... he could end up with some very expensive petting :)

    Kinda off topic... but I was wishing I had trained my dog to growl when ever I say windows or microsoft... A dog the responds to geek speak would be a great friend indeed :)

  5. Re:A small step towards damnation on Biotransistors · · Score: 1

    Why do you use any technology at all? isn't anything but running around naked and scavenging a perversion of "gods design"? What about potted plants? domestic animals? are not these perversions? Where is your line Jon?

    Talking to your cat isnt silly at all! often times just talking out loud (for some strange reason) can help you resolve a problem. I talk to my dog much more often than I probably should :)

    Me: I'm not sure how to design this DDL...
    Dog: [pant] head tilt [pant]
    Me: Should I store messages in there own table or can I put them with the message details?
    Dog: [lick nether-regions]
    Me: If I store the messages in their own table I'll have decreased overhead for normal users, but more overhead for adminstrators and translators.
    Dog: [sniff own fart]
    Me: 4 of 5 hits will be normal users and they pay us...
    Dog: [pant] head tilt [pant]
    Me: Two tables it is then!
    Dog: [lay down and snore instantly]

    So as you can see in this very simple example how helpful my dog is... sometimes these conversations can go on for hours....

  7. how em-bare-ass-ing! on Pentium III 1.13Ghz: The Real Story · · Score: 1

    This chip was so shitty tom's hardware wouldn't even post test results!

    "this processor proved to be an example of instability, which is why I won't publish results at this time"

    Wow... I knew intel was bad... but releasing processors as buggy as microsoft's OS's... this is just a joke.

  8. good, I'm happy... oh, so happy... on KDE 2.0 Beta 3 Is Out · · Score: 5

    The last version I tryed... my wheel mouse worked, my browser didn't crash, my sound sounded better, my monitor looked sharper, my slashdot posts were funnier, my GF looked thinner, my lawn was greener and I got a raise... I CAN'T WAIT to see what this version does for me!!

    Thanks for:

    Playing XBoing all day
    Telling everyone "I'll get to it in my *spare* time".
    Insulting the boss and getting away with it.
    That *interesting* oder..
    Deleting my home directory then blaming me for not backing it up!(ass munch)
    Never explaining ANYTHING!
    Getting paid more for doing less.
    Knowing *everything* and never being wrong.
    Your incredible lack of patience.

    And all the other little things that make you soooo invaluable.

    Thanks for the agreement, grammar nazi... while I have you here, I'd like to ask your opinion of the three period punctuation I use frequently... I find I use it every where now... I dont think I can stop...

  15. why here? on Laptop Screens-HPA Vs. TFT, DSTN, et al · · Score: 1

    Isn't a google search a much better way to find information like this? If you want product reviews, go look for them... if you want to ask a question that requires thought and experience, ask slashdot. This question is certainly not thought provoking....

    blah blah blah... I just read this entire thread.. your both children... All countries suck for one reason or another... I'm an ameriCan... but I dont really care... I hate our government... they take half my money and enforce some of the lamest laws I can think of... but I cant think of anyplace else that's any better... I'm going to spend the next year looking... but I'd imagine the most freedom is found here... maybe not... we cant legally smoke pot... so thats a minus... but if your rich you can kill people and get away with it... just ask OJ.

  23. I like telemarketers on ABC Ads Target Answering Machines? · · Score: 1

    I sometimes just talk to telemarketers until they beg me to get off the phone.. cause I never buy anything.. I just ask stupid questions and make them waste time... one time a supervisor came on the line and said "Hang up now Tralula" because I had her on there for like 45 minutes..

    "I have nothing better to do than talk to telemarketers and complain about slashdot polls"

  24. yo-yo effect on Tethers Will Be Tested To Boost, Deorbit Payloads · · Score: 1

    Yes, its a nice long wire... the wire is wrapped around the space ship and it is thrown into space by a giant slingshot like device... once it gets in orbit it is at the end of its string is is allowed to just spin there (NASA calls this "walking the ship" which additionaly provides gravity to the ships crew) when it is time to bring the ship in one just needs to tug the wire and it returns to the sling-shot... nice eh?
