  1. Ski Resorts on Who Works During the Holidays? · · Score: 3, Funny
    I am the computer guru for a ski resort here in Utah. We work everyday of the ski season, usually mid-Nov. to late April.


    We are the location that some people take their vacations. So, I'm at work.

  2. Easter Egg Codes on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 1
    So that all the girls in the computer games would appear naked! I'm sure there would be many geeks out there that would love that as a present.

  3. Dot Coms, not angels on Internet Tax Ban Extended · · Score: 1
    Remember: every time you buy over the internet, an angel gets his wings.



    I thought it was a Dotcommer cries out in joy and a ray of sunshine lands on his face?

  4. Come with joystick! on Telepongs Linux Handheld in June · · Score: 1
    Wow, now I can play Flight Simulator while on the road! Too bad the screen is so small that it really doesn't matter!

  5. Surprising enough... on Convert Movies From R to PG13 to PG On The Fly · · Score: 1
    There are some adults, not just kids, that don't want to watch an R movie. This device would be great for them.

  6. More forms of matter? on Neutrinos, Muons and the Standard Model · · Score: 1
    prompting physicists yesterday to announce that they might be on the verge of finding a new form of matter or energy.

    I thought the guys who won the Nobel Prize for Physics already discovered a new form of matter. Is this more of their findings, or something totally different? Does this mean that there could be 2 new forms of matter to bring the total up to 5 forms?


    Plus:

    "On a statistical basis, that would be a 1 in 400 probability of happening as a result of chance. "

    That doesn't seem like a big deal to me. That sounds more like a problem in the experiement. I don't think anyone should be jumping for joy at this discovery until they duplicate it in another test.

  7. Arthur had a better Battle Cry on The Tick Premieres Tonight on FOX · · Score: 3, Funny
    "Not in the face! Not in the face!"

  8. Physics? on The Physics of Information Technology · · Score: 1
    I thought the physics of networking only had 3 parts:



    1. Computer connected to a networking line.

    2. Network line connected to the WAN cloud.

    3. Another network line coming out of the WAN cloud to another computer.



    You meant there is more to it than just that!!

  9. Script Kiddies on Diablo 2 Items Bringing Home the Bacon · · Score: 4, Funny
    Who are the people paying real money for this stuff?



    The Script Kiddies have to do _something_ with the credit card numbers they steal.

  10. Re:Haptic Porn on Surfing the Web Haptically · · Score: 1
    My whole point was that it is possible to divorce oneself of hangups about porn when there is $$ involved. Especially when you're company is in the red. Why not explore all possible markets for your technology?



    I agree with you totally on this one. A company, especially when it's in the red, needs to look at all avenues to generate income.

  11. Re:Haptic Porn on Surfing the Web Haptically · · Score: 1
    look how much money people like Marriot, run by the friggin mormons make of pay per view porn



    No, Marriot is ran by _A_ Mormon, not the whole Mormon Church. Big difference.



    If Mr. Marriot wants to show porn, that's his own choice.

  12. Damn! on AMD To Stop Production Of 486, 586 & K6 Chips · · Score: 2, Funny

  15. Websites have better coverage on Net Faces 10 -Year Olympic Shutout · · Score: 1
    The websites I saw for the 2000 olympics had better coverage than the networks.

    I would go to the websites that covered the events I was interrested in, and avoid the events I didn't care about.

  17. Voting is a Waste of Time on The Full Nader Plus a Taste of Bush and Gore · · Score: 1

    I believe voting is a waste of time. I am also a hypocrite in that I will still vote.

    But, it doesn't matter who you vote for. Either a Democrat or a Republican will get in office. And all they will do is bog down politics, and get nothing done.

    We need to get new blood into government, and have them change things. The new blood, and new political parties will get things done.

  18. Brother supposed to go up, I think on Houston, We have a Space Station! · · Score: 1

    My brother is a programmer for TRW, and supposidly he was in a pool for people to go to the station once complete. He has gone through all the astronaut training, and is always at Cape Canaveral for a launch (if it deals with TRW). But this pool was created awhile ago. I don't know if NASA told all of its contractors to pick someone to go up as a "gift" for hard work, and then TRW has a pool for that person. Plus, my brother is getting up there in age, and I don't think that NASA is going to send "regular" people up anytime soon. So, I doubt that he is going to go. But it was great to tell people when I was younger!!! (Still didn't get chicks from it.)

  19. Re:The US and the internet on How Dependent Is The Internet On The U.S.? · · Score: 1

    The internet is ran off of protocols, and addresses. If the US did shut down the internet, then it the packets would just need to find another route to get to it's destination. Imagine all the changes to the routing tables on all the routers!! Troy
