  1. IDGI on IE8 May Not Pass the Acid2 Test After All · · Score: 5, Funny
    I don't get it. Why is there such an issue. As a dominant software company, Microsoft should be allowed to do what it wants. After all, what is best for Microsoft is also the best for America.


    Therefore, if you are against Microsoft, you must be a terrorist.


    Please report yourself to the nearest detention center for correction.

  2. Re:Run away! Run away! on How Do I Become an IT/IS Manager? · · Score: 1

    This is silly. There are good managers and there are bad managers. It all depends on what you want to do. If all you want to do is make more money, you should listen to what my civil engr professor used to say - business school is that way. Oh. Hmm... nevermind then... :)

    Seriously though, what you need to do is pick up more things. I've ran multi million $ projects as an individual contributor, and I've created budgets at 3 different places now. You just have to figure out what you need to do, and do it. Track all the needs and wants from your folks, vs what your bosses want.

    Try hard not to screw people over. My worst managers were ones who actively lied to their people. Do they not understand that people *remember* those lies?

    So... what you're asking for is a central point of control, and if, for example, that said school's administrators run the central point of control, and don't like what you say, they can block everything you ever try to say online, for ever, and you won't be able to do anything about it?


    Sure I'll buy in on that plan.

    Damnit, this is going to make me not able to moderate, but... WTF ARE YOU SMOKING?! Their product sucked so much that they had to purchase Dr. Solomon, and used that to replace their own shit. Not only that, when I was implementing ePO, I asked for uninstallers for the old versions (2.x and 3.x), and they COULD NOT provide it because they could not find the damned source code!!!

    OTOH, much as I loath McAfee, they're still miles ahead of Nortons - now that's a true stinking pile of festing crap after Symantec took over.

    Oh wait - were you mistaken, and was thinking of Norton's instead?

  19. matches up to buddhism on Scientist Suggests We Explore 'Universe is a VR Simulation' Theory · · Score: 1

    Just had a thought - according to Buddhism, we're on the 4th rung of the wheel of life. There're 32 levels. What this guy is saying maps to that. If we break out of this run, we go to the next, and the cycle continues. Only by leaving the wheel of life (this simulation) can we achieve nirvana.

    So, maybe the enclosing system is the nirvana... and it is running the simulation to see who can break out of it.

    What pisses me off is people thinking that their version of God exists just because they say so.

    What pisses me even more off is people thinking that they can use stupid arguments (intelligent arguments are welcomed, of course) to *PROOF* that their God is the real one, and you should convert.

    What pisses me off even more off is people telling me to believe in their God just because they asked me to - what is this, a fscking popularity contest? And I am just a weak willed brainless luser who'll believe you just because you said you're telling the truth? What if my next new best friend also has The Truth, but from a different God?

    There's actually at test going on to see if the "spirit lifting away from the body" actually happens.

    They have a LCD facing the ceiling. It is displaying an image that nobody in the room can see. If your soul actually left your body and floated up towards the ceiling, you should be able to see that image, and report that image afterwards.

    So far, no success. I wonder why.
