  1. Re:What do you do with this stuff? on Stargate Props Going Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    When you get sick of it you put it on ebay and get another fanboy/fangirl to pay twice what you paid for it 10 years down the road. This for me is my all time favorite show, having 1 or 2 small pieces to remember it isn't a waste of money in my mind.

  2. oops. on NASA Concedes Defeat In Effort To Free Spirit Rover · · Score: 1

    I read the post headline as "NASACAR Concedes Defeat In Effort To Free Spirit Rover".

    Time to go take a nap.. :-D

  3. Re:Would be a non-issue on The Environmental Impact of PHP Compared To C++ On Facebook · · Score: 3, Interesting
  4. Re:buy compatible cartridges on What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink? · · Score: 5, Informative

    The ink cartrides that come with the printeres are never 100% full, they are only about 25% full. It's just starter ink, to get you to buy more in.

  5. Re:And good luck with Google, too on Is Linux Documentation Lacking? · · Score: 1

    I agree googling for the answer is difficult. Usually the answer isn't on the first few pages, and you have to dig through 4-7 layers of pages before you find it. More often than not you get sent to forums where the question is asked, but in order to see the answer you have to pay for access to the site. So much for open source.

  6. Don't like man pages. on Is Linux Documentation Lacking? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I find man pages to be poorly written, and difficult to understand most of the time. I tend to use google to find people who are discussing it in plain english...

  7. Dear Mister Lawyer.... STFU... Thanks. on Should You Be Paid For Being On Call? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As someone who is a web developer/webmaster web-whatever-you-want-to-call-it. At most of my jobs I spend most of my 40 hours a week busy. Doing work. When I have done systems administration, it's been the same thing. I am 90% busy those 40 hours per week. There are VERY little slow periods, unlike a Fire fighter (not to dis fire fighters) who spend most of their day waiting to be called to work. If I work 40hrs during the week, and then get called in 3-4 nights because something is acting up, in a way that wasn't expected, I should get paid for being on call, or the employer should wait until I am in during the morning. Mister Lawyer. Until you are in my shoes, please politely STFU.... Thanks

  9. Amazon S3 on Best Backup Server Option For University TV Station? · · Score: 1

    Why build and maintain a server, just push it to amazon.

  10. Re:Relax on Where Does a Geek Find a Social Life? · · Score: 1

    People are not fun. People suck. Friends are fun. ;-)

  11. Re:Learn to dance on Where Does a Geek Find a Social Life? · · Score: 1

    You' be surprised how many "fellow geeks" actually do some of these things that are being suggested. Ballroom dancing for example. I have geek friends who are total Dance nerds, and THEY ARE HOT!

  12. Re:Google wave on How To Manage Hundreds of Thousands of Documents? · · Score: 5, Funny

    monks work for free, they just need food and enlightenment, and if you get lucky they fast and then only need the enlightenment aspect.

  13. Re:Nuh-uh. on Music Streaming to Overtake Downloads · · Score: 1

    not redundant, my post was first you insensitive clod.

  14. Re:Nuh-uh. on Music Streaming to Overtake Downloads · · Score: 0, Redundant

    no, but with phones being connected to the internet they could stream that way, but it'd be a pain when you are in tunnels in the subway

  15. Re:Clearly full of spy tools. on Sorry For the Detainment, Here's a Laptop · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that phone booth isn't bugged either.

  16. Re:Really Germany? on German Gov To Ban Paintballing After Shooting · · Score: 1

    Agreed, there is no reason to outlaw paintball, such a stupid german thing to do.

    (16) Bite my shiny metal ass.

  18. I don't get it... on Atari Emulation of CRT Effects On LCDs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't remember my Atari looking like that on my TV. Sure it wasn't LCD perfect but it didn't suck that that does.

  19. Re:first post? on US Declares Public Health Emergency Over Swine Flu · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    OK that was about as lame as I thought it would be. :-D

    wouldn't that mean he's gay?

    Apparently becoming a campus cop was the only way they were going to make it to college.
