    Does your boss want a crappy USB headeset of a full featured Cisco phone?

    Well, IIRC, the Cisco phones have a regular 2-wire jack on the side for plugging in a standard telephone handset. In fact, they come with one. Whatever crappy USB headset your boss is trying to use with his Cisco phone is the one he picked out for himself.

    No, it's the Pentium VIIV, Lucy Carmichael's wacky neighbor. Remember the one where they got locked in the Northbridge with Mr. Memory?

    Or get a good LCD TV, mount it on the wall in a safe spot. Plug the PC into the TV (S-Video, DVI, RCA out). Get a keyboard with a built-in trackball, trackpad or clit mouse for it. The Mini Mac is almost made-to-order for this.

    That's because he went about it the wrong way. Everyone knows you need the Golden Cap to call the Winged Monkeys to do your bidding up to 3 times.

    Yeah, it dovetails nicely with them being the .COM people.

  11. Re:Learning is expensive on All Games Banned From MO Prisons · · Score: 1
    Each student costs the district around $4000, however, most of this is textbooks, which are purchased at worse prices than prescription drugs, and are replaced far more often than they need it (Except for the computer books, which hadn't been replaced since 1985 when I graduated), and various other supplies (Science classes are most expensive, math and literiture following close behind due to calculators and additional books).

    Count your blessings. At least you didn't have to use books with that stupid Base-6 crap in them!

    You are likely to be eaten by a Grue.

    I don't think so. Grues only come out when there is no light, not when there is a steady blue-and-white glow.

    Having 10-20% of the price of your PC being in a bare minimum graphics card just seems ridiculous. What's next?

    in fact there's nothing in the article suggesting that any of the lawyers had anything to do with the arrest.

    Well, there's this:
    "The attorney reported Kash and Lanzisera to court personnel, who arrested the men and charged them with engaging in disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor."
