  1. Re:Movies on Revenge of the Sith Pics Leaked · · Score: 0

    Sorry to disagree with YOUR imperssion of HIS imperssion but MY imperssion and many OTHER peoples imperssion match the original posters comments. The first movie was fairly bad, the second one better and the third.. well we will see wont we.

  2. Moding Movies on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 0

    The problem with the movie industry is that they dont let us Mod movies like games let us :)

  3. Volunteer - Police Department on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 0

    I volunteer with the NYPD Auxiliary Police, and get a whopping $250/year.

    Too bad the uniform expenses are about $400/year

  4. Re:I guess on Steam Registration Servers Overloaded · · Score: 0

    I purchased my copy over steam last night, it was already preloaded.

    My ordering process though was all messed up. First it took a long time to even get into the client. (good 10 minutes)

    Once in, i went through the paying process slowly but surely. Once i hit the final buy button it took about 2 minutes to tell me my credit card had been rejected. I double checked all my info and it looked right.

    I called up my credit card to find out the order went through and i was charged.

    I then relunched Steam and my game was unlocked. Very strange stuff...

    I sent their billing department a complaint...

  5. ANTIBIOTICS on Patrick Volkerding Battles Mystery Illness · · Score: 0

    DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE TAKE ANTIBIOTICS FOR ANY REASON OTHER THEN BEING PRESECRIBED BY A DOCTOR.

    DO YOU UNDERSTAND? EVERYONE? REALLY DID YOU READ WHAT I JUST SAID?

    Okay ill stop with the caps. But please understand my position. I am going out with an Rx for many years, so i hear about all of this stuff way too much (Though at the end i do enjoy learning). Antibiotics are way over used in America in general, and to hear that people use them without a doctors supervision is horrible. Why you may ask?

    a) As others have said, using too much antibiotics for no reason can cause you problems you did not have when you started, since it will kill good Bacteria that does things like protect your stomach etc.

    b) Using the wrong antibiotic wont help you at all

    c) Using an antibiotic when you have a none bacteria related problem WONT HELP YOU AT ALL.

    Even if a doc prescribes antibiotics, it should be taken with skepticism and you should always get a second opinion on large doses or those taken for longer then 1 week.

  6. SWG had Riots too on Online Game Event Sparks Player Riot · · Score: 1, Interesting

    In Starwars Galaxies there where a few player riots that brought servers down. I dont recall the reason for them, but they where also brought on by user frustration.

    This even caused SWG to make a "no assembly without player event" policy.

    In the future i think we are going to see this more and more, as mass groups of people get upset at sites, games, etc, they will be able to take action just by logging in.

  7. Geeks on Hydrogen Vehicle Generates Its Own Fuel · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Geeks just want to have fun...

  8. What is the big deal anyone on password cracking? on Passwords - 64 Characters, Changed Daily? · · Score: 1

    Most system support locking an account down on 3 password attempts, and a delay between password attempts so what does it matter if a powerful computer can crack a password in a straight on attack? After 3 tries it will fail in its goal.

    This all hype generated by the foolish an uneducated. The real issue is in encrypted files and communications not login passwords into systems.

  9. One day off on What Are Advantages/Disavantages To Flex Time? · · Score: 1

    I much rather take 1 day a week off to take care of personal stuff and work it off on Sunday or Saturday as i see fit, rather then have a lot of "flex time". This is what iv been doing lately at my job (im a programmer, VB/ASP/COM) so i could take that time during the week to take care of speeding tickets, dentist appointments, and car repairs.

    But i also think that employers should allow workers to be able to come in to work a little late (early) and therefore leave later (earlier) if they need to. This is especially great for all us 19 year olds that stay out with their friends till 12-1 every night, and can't make it to work by 9am. (Or have to leave early some days due to other more specific reasons)

  10. Over Hyped on Too Old To Code? · · Score: 1

    I think all of this has been over hyped. I am a 19 year old doing the same work, and as good of a job as my 30-40 year old developers, who i must say have a lot more experience. And even 10 years from now im sure those guys are going to be doing really good in programming, or managing programmers.
    I think people should just realize, that with age, comes management positions, so get over it :). You can't code forever.
