  1. I feel your pain on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    In my past WOW life I was Sonofelvis, Horde Orc Hunter on Alleria, built a rep, had "relations" with many other chars in and out of my guild. but then one day I log in an now have the name of Laguntus. what the hell is that? Someone with a shitty connection and a cold? Seriously - I complained to the DMs without avail or even a decent explanation until I got the from a DM that my name was three words. URGHHH!!! so does that mean it's ok if it two words - how about four. no answer....

    I didn't quit, was very tempted, but I can say I don't play as much due to the change and shitty customer service, err cold shoulder from Blizzard. Anyway look for my sorry ass on Alleria as "Lag" - but please call me "Sono". :)

  2. "A car isn't a work of art" - surely you jest on JBoss Founder Hard-Nosed About Open Source · · Score: 1

    you need to come to Houston then and see the Orange Show Art Car parade -

    http://www.orangeshow.org/artcar.html
    http://www.orangeshow.org/vote2005/gall_001.php

    Or better yet if you can't make it to the parade come to the museum http://www.artcarmuseum.com/

  3. the harrr-rrrrror on Examples of Programming Gone Wrong? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Mars Lander and Orbiter
    US shooting down Airbus 320
    London Ambulance Service unavailable
    Therac-25 overdosinf cancer patients

    and not's count the lives lost in terms of hours wasted waiting for Windows to reboot ;P

  4. C# = Be Flat on Trouble Ahead for Java · · Score: 1

    M$ is purely angry. After all these years, C# is merely Anders pouting about how his idea for adding method pointers to Java was shot down by the Java community.

    Very stubborn dude. Go back to Borland where they get it....

  5. Walter is on the Pot on Bad Review for the Zaurus · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Geez, I have been using the Zaurus for a little while now and it has been nothing but flawless. There is nothing the PocketPC can do that this can't. The Zaurus gives me a shell that now supports ssh.

    But for the "consumer" wall street crowd.

    I have the Wireless LAN Compact Flash card - sweet. the MAME port - yes Frogger and MsPacMan. the keyboard is actually better than the RIM Blackberry version. I can view/edit MS Word and Excel and even view Powerpoint slides. make sure you upgrade the memory though for this. I can play mp3, watch movies and do voice recordings. I have synched with my Palm and Outlook books w/o a problem. The TFT screen is the best I have seen on a PDA to date.

    I guess we just want to make sure Walter files his 1099. hehe....

    seriously Walter - what are you smoking???
