  1. Re:What is flipped? on Student Loans In America: the Next Big Credit Bubble · · Score: 2

    I don't know if flipping is criteria of a bubble. A bubble just means that there is inflated value of something. If the colleges raise the rate at which they charge students to a degree where it doesn't make sense to go to school there, (but they go anyway because of promise of a good job) there will be a massive amount of defaults.

        Now these defaults are more or less guaranteed, which eases the problem. I believe the only cause where the default actual is when the student dies. So if the loans ever amount to more then what the student can payback in their lifetime, then there will be an issue.

        Unless of course the banks aren't getting the money fast enough...

  5. Re:No Services on Boot? on Running Windows With No Services · · Score: 1

    I wrote a program in college that if the user typed in a character in the prompt it would cause a BEEP. Well first time I tried it I made an infinite loop of BEEP's. Well the UNIX box I was on didn't like that to much.. and I couldn't do anything so I flipped the power switch...

  6. Re:Top 10 Don'ts on Top 10 Web Fads · · Score: 1

    Oh man on my website I have 3 out of the top ten... I'm screwed... Of course I was 17 when I made it, so can I be forgiven?

  7. Re:Almost a quarter of a century? on Asteroid To Be Naked-Eye Visible In 2029 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail.

  10. I don't think so on Is Typing a Necessary Skill? · · Score: 1

    I never took a typing class. I've had a computer since I was eight. I don't type in the best way, but I type fast enough. I'm also a programmer. Unless you are in a job where you really need to type fast I don't think you need to take a typing class. Heck, my company hired a guy who only has one hand.

    Most of my typing knowledge I got from Insant Messaging people in college all the time. I think that is one of the best typing teachers out there.

  11. Re:Netscape additions on Netscape 7.2 To Be Released August 3rd · · Score: 1

    I think firefox is over all better but, I still you opera more. The reason is when I click on a link to bring up a new window opera gives me a new tab, and firefox give me a new window. Is there any way for firefox to make a new tab instead of a new window?

    I personally like StringBuffer myself, but to each his own.

  14. Mother Board Fire on Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware? · · Score: 1

    One time I was messing around with the connections from the mother board to the case, and I went to plug in the LED lights for the hard drive, and the mother board had a little fire going on where I plugged it in. I guess even though it was off, since I had the computer still turned on it got some juice and lit up a capacitor or something. The mother board worked fine after that just the LED light never lit up again...

  15. Sounds good to me on Instant Concert CDs? · · Score: 1

    When I get home fom a concert I usually try to look for some bootlegs of the concert I just went to. Even if I had to pay like 15 bucks for the cd, right after I leave I'm sure al ot of fans would do that. I just hope the quality it better then the average joe bringing a tape recorder with him, with thousands of people next to him screaming.

  16. Re:Hoover A Verb? on Honeymoon Over For Google? · · Score: 1

  17. Re:Desktop machines? on 1.8 Inch Removable Hard Drives Coming · · Score: 1

    I dunno, have you ever tried to overclock a deck or cards? Those babies can heat up pretty good.

  18. All nice and well... on Adult Swim Gets Three More Anime Series · · Score: 1

    New catoons are all nice good, but nothing is better then Aquateens, and Sealab 2021. Those are just plain funny. Come on a cartoon about a Meatball, a Shake, and a box of French Fries who solves mysteries? What is funnier then that?

  19. Re:Did you know 1+1=2? on Fewer Employees + Same Work = Higher Productivity · · Score: 1

    Kinda reminds me of the theory that drinking beer makes you smarter. You drink and it kills off the weakest of the brain cells. So you keep drinking to kill of some more of the 'weak' ones, util all you have left is the strong ones. Well you might as well keep on drinking to kill off the ones that arn't that strong....

  22. Re:What's everyone doing? on Howl-o-ween · · Score: 1

    I would do that but I'm too cheap to buy a fake goatee. On the other hand if you wanted to dress up as your good twin all you would have to do is shave it off.

  23. How not to get slashdotted? on High-Performance Web Server How-To · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does building this high performace web server prevent you from being slashdotted?
