    Yes, that would be nice. Cruising the information superhighway while cruising the great highway system of the US. Wind blowing in your hair, pr0n just a click away anywhere...

    we can dream, can't we?

  2. Re:Project rainbow? on Project Rainbow - 802.11 Across the U.S. · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Yes, that's what I thought too initially. It is a pity that gays took such a generic thing to use as a symbol for themselves and their propaganda.

    Related to this, I use to have an Apple "Think Different" sticker on my car (the shape of an apple, but in horizontal rainbow striped colors). I took it off because others told me it could be mistaken as a gay symbol, something I do not want in my car.

    Yes, acutally I do. I like tinkering with engines just as much as I do with Linux.

    Oh, shut up you mamby pamby troll. You need to learn to at least troll better before you come to slashdot.

  8. Re:But what does PC stand for? on I Believe You Have My Stapler · · Score: 2

    You are wrong. PC stands for Paper Cassette. On some models, it would say UC or LC for upper cassette and lower cassette. Don't belive me? check out your manual.

  9. Re:Ahhh Office Space on I Believe You Have My Stapler · · Score: 4, Informative

    You are slightly incorrect.

    You have it backwards.

    To be specific, it breaks down like this:

    PC (Paper Cassette) Load Letter (Size paper).

    This happens when you send a print job that requires Letter size paper, but the printer does not, or thinks it does not, have letter size paper.

    This can be cause by having the wrong paper size in the printer, but is more commonly caused by those who insert the paper tray guides incorrectly. Many people mistakenly insert the tray guide for letter size paper in the A4 (our European friend's letter-size equivalent) slots, because they are close in size.

    This causes a different sensor arm to be tripped, and the printer thinks it has A4 size when it actually is letter.

    This is what can cause this error message. Either that, the wrong size of paper, or a broken sensor.

    ditto that. I have seen the same experiences over and over.

    You may be right, bu do you know of a better, more humorous movie that is similar to office space? I thought it was well done, although I could have used more geek cubical stuff in the movie.

    although i accept the fact that the movie was not written for me.

    No, you send it in and then wait a month and a half because their parts are all on backorder because everyone else seems to have the same problem that you did. Then you get your unit back after a month and a half only to find they didn't fix the problem.

    Sorry. I am just a little bitter over my apple care experience.

    I ended up fixing the problem myself so I wouldn't have to wait a totaql of 3 months for the damn part.

    For the same reason I take things apart to see how they work and then don't put them back together correctly so they never work again!

  15. Re:Highly futuristic version on You Look Like You Need a Guinness · · Score: 2

    I have made brews where people can not tell the differnce between my brew and Guinness. Guinness is actually pretty easy to make, cosisting of mostly roasted and flaked barley.

    of course it helps to have a nitrogen system at home. :)

    stout is a type of beer, as is ale, porter, extra stout, bitter, special bitter, etc. it all falls under the beer umbrella.

  20. Re:Not a haiku. on Gnome 2.0 RC2 Asks For Abuse · · Score: 2

    this made me think of the word, gnome. I know the correct was to say it is G/nome with two syllables, but I still don't. It just sounds stupid. I even tried to call it that for a month and felt like a retard. So, I just say gnome with a silent 'g' even though I know it's technically wrong.

    who's with me?!

    Yes, I agree with you completelt. If you have a good feel of the market and components, you can save yourself a bundle, and have all name-brand and quality parts to boot.

    In addition, you can save money by reusing non-obsolete parts like modems, sound cards, etc.
