  1. Makes you wonder... on Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater · · Score: 4, Funny

    If they don't have internet access, and no one tells them... how long will they sit out there?
    And then what type of a fit will they throw when they go to the correct theatre and there's already a line.

  2. Re:Well, it's difficult to answer that on Mars Rovers Get Extra 18 Months · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Frankly, Voyager is useless now, and money used to fund that project could be going to more worthwhile projects like the JPL rovers. The Voyager project was never meant to measure data outside of the solar system, but rather to gather data on the gas giants and outer planets. They accomplished that a long time ago.

    Yes, but tell me, when is the next time we'll have a probe that far out in say, oh, the next 20-30 years?? While we're out there and it's sending data we might as well gather it. All data is new data that can be used. And as for "the original mission", don't forget the rovers were only supposed to be for about 90 days and look how much they've done.

  3. Re:Well on Brain-Implanted Chips Allow Control of Technology · · Score: 1

    That being said, I would never consider an implant unless I could be garunteed that it was not bi-directional. I only want it to recieve signals from my brain, not give feedback. I'll use my other senses for feedback in the meantime.

  4. SLI Printer on SLI Primer · · Score: 1

    I read the headline as "SLI Printer" and was wondering why would you want that dramatic of a speed enhancment with printing.

  5. Re:Well.... [OT] on Free SSL Certificate Project · · Score: 4, Funny

    Reminds me of one time back in HS. We didn't like our CS teacher and for our final project in C every student put a call to INT 19 at the end of their code, so when she was through running and grading our program it'd reset her computer. I don't think she ever figured it out.

  6. Re:Leadership? on American View On Korean Broadband Leadership · · Score: 1

    Yes that may be true, but i want to make sure my connection is not the bottle neck. So when I do happen to come across a server with that size pipe I will get the most available from it.

  7. Re:Immediately patch? Really? on Symantec Antivirus May Execute Virus Code · · Score: 1

    Wrong buddy. That's one thing I do keep up to date, in fact i just put together the PO for the renewal in march. So keep your smart ass comments to yourself.

    Okay, so I'm being lazy and don't want to call them. Know anything about 9.0.2.1000?

  9. Re:I got hit on Worm Hits Windows Machines Running MySQL · · Score: 1

    Okay I must ask. If this attack comes across a port. Why in the world did you have that port open to the outside? Not trying to flame you, but a little common sense.

  10. Porn on MyDoom Strikes Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ah, never underestimate the stupidity of horny people.

  11. Re:SONY tried this crap and LOST big time. on New DRM Scheme To Make Current DVD Players Obsolete · · Score: 1

    Funny you should say that about Pioneer... I bought a DV-525 when DVD players barely started becoming mainstream (circa 1998) and supprisingly enough it can handle any +/-RW media I throw at it. Kudos for Pioneer for that.

  12. Re:Sounds familiar... on In Japan, Old People Talk to Robots · · Score: 1

    Freakiest thing that ever happened with Dr. Sbaitso was in middle school. We had it hooked up to a good pair of speakers and were making it say all sorts of things. Well one of my friends typed something bad and attempted to cover the speakers with his hands. Dr. Sbaitso replied "Get your hands off of me!" Needless to say we promptly backed away then turned off the system.

  13. Re:Consulting on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Because I don't go to boards like that. The best consulting jobs are on the side contacts that you make through your business or friends. People who can't afford you full time or aren't in need of an FTE's worth of work.

  14. Consulting on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Consulting... what better way to get paid 3x - 4x of what you make for doing the exact same thing. :)

  15. Re:When did M$ become a network device? on Assessing Network Security · · Score: 1

    How the fuck did my post get modded "Informative" ?!?!?

  16. Re:When did M$ become a network device? on Assessing Network Security · · Score: 3, Funny

    And it wasn't. Apperantly the drive crapped out a long time ago, and everything was running from memory. Btw the time I had to reboot it, the system wouldn't come back up. Finally got the company to cough up the money to get a Catalyst 3550 to replace it.

  17. Re:When did M$ become a network device? on Assessing Network Security · · Score: 2, Informative

    M@ couldn't compete with Cisco, Juniper, etc...

    You know, funny you should say that. I had a PII-450 with 3x 3Com NICs running RRAS (Routing and Remote Access) on Win2K that I was using for an internal router for 3 different subnets for over 2 and a half years. It was shuttling the data between the subnets with virtually no latency and I never had any down time. Literally just set it and forget it. One of the few times I was seriously impressed by MS

    The link doesn't work... Got a working link, very tempted to deploy

  19. Re:It's stupid on Warm Offices Boost Productivity · · Score: 1

    Hey, there's nothing wrong with the fact that it's still shorts weather right now (San Antonio, today's high 91)

    Where I am, we keep our office at about 71, which is a good working temp. Too warm and we fall asleep, too cold and our fingers can't move to type.

    Also I don't know of a single building in SA (or other warm area) that doesn't have some form of HVAC, it's nessecary down here, so temps in the office are arbitrary. Maybe that's why warm areas are better because they can better control the temp and are not subject to conditions outside.

  20. Re:MS failed at this before, with plain old NTSC on SBC and Microsoft to Provide HDTV Over IP · · Score: 2, Funny

    maybe 60 billion dollars of cash ; )

    You forgot to hold your pinky to your mouth as you said that.

    Actually the Mercedes SL and some E Classes use brake by wire.

  22. Matter of scale on Federal Bounty on Spammers · · Score: 1

    This may sound bad, but unless the FBI is after a mass murderer; Spam affects more people. So it is in the best interest to offer more money.

  23. Holding your breath... on Star Wars DVD Set Previews/Reviews · · Score: 4, Funny

    "I'm afraid I'll be waiting for the day when George reconsiders and releases the untouched originals."

    Riiight, you do that... can you also let me know when Duke Nukem Forever comes out?
