  1. Re:Is this really new? on Wikipedia Founder Introduces Wiki Magazine Sites · · Score: 1

    And that exactly is the problem with wiki format (at least the one I've been fighting with), though the format is supposed to invite usage from the general public their security model is complicated and tries to reinvent the wheel, simple group based security with an easily workable LDAP plugin or windows domain plugin is too much to ask for apparently. Want do delete an account? BZZZT sorry that's not the feature you want. Want to list out who's in a group? BZZZT sorry that's not the feature you want write a sql query to reconcile the 2 tables in the database so you can read the user names and not their id number. I could go on but I won't.

  2. Re:As a former UMR student, I can say.... on Missouri Wins American Solar Challenge · · Score: 1

    Bah, I went to UMSL, we had women and we liked it.

  3. Implausible on "V" Sequel Coming to NBC · · Score: 1

    I've played around with the idea of writing rules for alien invasion movies for a while, but the only one I can come up with is this: Rule 1. If an alien race that has the technology to cover the time and space to get here, if they want the planet there is nothing that we can do about it. Will Smith and terrestrial viruses taken as granted. But I digress.

    BAH! wireless. That would be another investment in infrastructure. Aint going to happen. ;)

  5. Re:He should go to college because on System Administrators - College or Career? · · Score: 1

    I suggest you research what S/A do. My career is built on the installation and maintance of large systems (hardware) and the software to let people do their jobs.

  6. Re:He should go to college because on System Administrators - College or Career? · · Score: 1

    Yea, in 10 or 20 years my house will make me breakfast if I ask it to. There will always be a need for a skilled S/A. As one (Windows / unix) I don't see an end to my job any time soon because developers aren't always able to run the systems they program. And if I'm wrong and you are right then I have a degree to fall back on.

    How the hell can you have more plants when the dirt is coverd with tar and concrete?

  9. Great on Verizon Launches 3G Network (Silently) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now I can get in an accident with a SUV while the driver is surfing the net as well as talking on the phone.

  10. Re:You prove the point right there on Perception of Linux Among IT Undergrads · · Score: 1

    Funny, that's what IBM told me to do when I had a problem with their WebSphere products.

  11. Re:Unfamiliarity? Where's the research? on Thus Spake Tick Creator Ben Edlund · · Score: 1

    I hope that it becomes the first few seasons of the Simpsons. The last few seasons are better left to the dark relm of where sitcoms go to die. Look at the last years of I Love Lucy, same thing.

  12. Re:Some working titles... on Episode II In Trouble? · · Score: 1

    All you got was a 1 for that? I laughed my ass off.

  13. Lack of Fillmaking on Episode II In Trouble? · · Score: 1

    The problem with the first prequil holds true with any of the following movies. The technology is not sufficiently advanced enough to replace real with CGI. I don't buy a battle sequence in the middle of a live action film that looks like it's straight out of Japanamation. Lucas is ignoring what made his original films popular in the first place, a good story borrowed from mythology and a few other things. Without a good story you can have all the special effects you want and not have a good film. The real problem is the fact that we will all go see the film because it is part of our culture, if the first one would have bombed Lucas would have re thought the rest of the plans. But since it didn't it's business as usual.

  14. Bold visions of the future? on Ask the Presidential Candidates · · Score: 1

    First I must apologize to the third party candidates of whom I do not know much about, except for Ralph Nader, for whom I have great respect. I cannot fault the third party candidates for the lack of press because the 2 main parties prevent any of the third parties from getting any. I have found an amazing lack of vision for the future of this country in the candidates. Great leadership involves bold visions of the future. My questions are as follows. 1. What are you visions for the America of tomorrow? 2. How do you plan to achieve this vision? 3. Why are the younger voters completely ignored except to say that they watch too much violence on TV and play too many violent video games? 4. Given the fact that in the last 100 years we have gone from gas lights and 25mph in a horse an buggy combinations to everything electric and 22000 miles an hour in space; what are your plans to keep government up to par with technology and the people it takes to run it?

  15. US government patent on Thursday on Enter The 'Stupid Patent Tricks' Contest · · Score: 1

    Seeing as how Thursday is a unique invention of the US government, the House of Representatives and Senate decide to patent Thursday. So if you are alive and living on US government soil on a Thursday you owe the government a royalty check.
