    Thank GOD! I felt so scared I was going to die to terrorists, when I managed to catch my flight to Denver in under 30 minutes of xrays, scanning, and waiting in line. Something needs to be done remove this streamlined process. We're talking about entire HOURS less of waiting in line while the TSA herds people like cattle. It's about time someone corrected this oversight at MSP and got those wait times up where they belong.

  7. Re:Pub? Where? What? on Hobbit Pub Saved By Actors Stephen Fry and Sir Ian McKellen · · Score: 5, Funny

    Because IP law is a thing of interest to nerds, and they believe that it's stuff that matters. But maybe not to you, sooooo, quick, let's bicker on the Internets now because your preferences aren't the same as everyone elses. Your whiney post has been somewhat legitimized by my humorous comment; you're welcome, no charge, it appears you could use a little bit of a sense of humor, and I have a little extra to share with the less fortunate. ^_^

    The best way to beat Priests in Mana Drain, obviously. No mana, no spellcasting. No Psychic Scream spamming, and certainly no healing!

  16. Re:Above optimal? on Ask Slashdot: Good Metrics For a Small IT Team? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I think you've confused "peak" with "optimal."

    Peak = best possible output

    Optimal = most satisfactory

    You can tune an engine to run within optimal specs. But if you run it at peak nonstop...

  17. Ahh, metrics, good. on Ask Slashdot: Good Metrics For a Small IT Team? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Metrics. Excellent, I hate when bosses use the Imperial system.

    All jokes aside: If you care about your job in this economic climate, I suggest you do what your 2 other teammates are doing - picking through the stats that make YOU look the best. The company isn't going to look out for you. IT is an expense to be cut, remember. Boosts the temporary bottom line, promotes "growth" in this fiscal quarter, gets the investors going so the CEO can shuffle another fold into his golden parachute. If non-important metrics are selected that sacrifice your job, it's a brief victory lap straight into the unemployment line.

    We can't answer your question, though. In the end, I recommend you watch a clip from "Office Space" - wherein the Bobs interview the employees:

    Bob: "So tell me, what is it, exactly, that you do here?"

    If you can't answer that question, you probably should be job hunting already. Or should have kept a copy of the job posting from when you applied.

    Read more of the thread. I've also owned a Droid X, which I just recently sold. Nice for movies and games. Not great for phoning.

  23. Wow on New Jersey DMV Employees Caught Selling Identities · · Score: 1, Funny

    I bet there are a whole SLEW of Psychiatrists that would just LOVE to learn their methodology for making identities!

  24. Re:I kinda hope not. on Next Apple iPhone To Have a 4 Inch Display? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not true at all. If Apple makes a screen that makes their device unusable to me, I will a.) not buy it and b.) move to another device that IS usable. Why do you start out presuming that most people inconvenience themselves by using Apple products? Let the market speak for itself. If I find the device unwieldy, I'll skip it and buy one that isn't. Presuming I even need to replace this sucker anytime soon.

  25. Re:I kinda hope not. on Next Apple iPhone To Have a 4 Inch Display? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I previously owned a Droid X, hence my reference to the disadvantage of a screen the size of a toaster.

    I like my handheld portable devices to be handheld. I'm a 6' guy with fairly large hands, great for guitar, bass, and piano. I also have good eyesight, so I don't need a large screen, just high pixel density. /shrug

    It'd be entertaining to see an iPhone "Pro" with a bigger screen, and an iPhone "Mini" that's usable. ;)
