  3. Re:no more starbucks wireless on Ericsson Predicts Swift End For Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    Tim Hortons ... they do have great coffee Oi vei! Unless you think off-tasting brown water is 'great coffee', they have lousy coffee. Second Cup has "good" coffee. The stuff I brew at home is "great" coffee.
  4. On the other side of the wall on The Disconnect Between Management and the Value of IT · · Score: 4, Funny

    '[m]ost top executives ... think of IT as an expensive headache that they'd rather not deal with.' "Most top IT people think of 'top' executives as a bunch of lobotomized, management-speak babbling, suit wearing, golf playing, secret handshake boy club members that we'd rather not deal with."

    The assumption being, of course, that the cable box has a firewire port and that it actually works.

  9. Re:And your point is? on Donkey Kong and Me · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You missed the best part of TFA. A new word has entered the lexicon by accident of hyphen: "cow-orker".

    Some of us wrote video games in 6502 assembly language back then. I made enough in the first year off of royalties to buy a brand new car for cash back in the early '80s. Now get off my lawn!

  10. Re:Web 3.0, my lily-white ass! on User-Generated Content Vs. Experts · · Score: 1

    So what you are saying is "If it smells like crap (Web 2.0), looks like crap (Web 2.0), then it must be crap (Web 2.0)".

  11. Re:Or they can just not have us take it out the ba on TSA Evaluating Laptop Bags · · Score: 1

    So the alleged boogeyman will fashion a boom-boom device so that it looks like a spare battery into a spare battery or looks like a power adapter into a power adapter to the x-ray machine and operator. You could even fashion a box cutter into a spare battery and have it look like a spare battery.

    The people that make the decision on how things are done are total frickin' idiot morons. Before 9/11, and several years afterwards, you could carry an extra large coffee through security and onto the plane without anyone even looking in the cup. Then some idiot moron retard discovered liquid-based explosives could be carried on in this fashion so they banned liquids. What about pens? Didn't they see the Mythbusters episode where a pen with 3 CCs of content could blow things up real good? What are they going to do next - ban pens?

  13. Re:Get FF3 out already on Internet Explorer 8 Beta Features Revealed · · Score: 1

    Depends on your definition of "better". Not to mention that it is a Microsoft by-product. In /. we poo-poo anything from Microsoft.

  14. Re:Sellers will get screwed even more by this on eBay Battles Power Sellers · · Score: 1

    I had one 'tard screw up and give negative feedback on one of my sales when he meant to give it to someone else. Then another 'tard got impatient when USPS took too long to deliver a package. So much for trying for a 100% positive feedback record over 8+ years.

  15. Re:Regarding the $300 option... on NIN's Music Experiment Sells Big Numbers · · Score: 1

    a) Make the square hole bigger, or, b) Put the round peg in a lathe and turn it down so that it fits in said hole.

  17. Re:Improved standards isn't the story here on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the new way is just as idiotic: Every single existing web page that is who knows how old and currently IE6- and/or IE7-compatible will have to be updated with a meta tag telling IE8 that it should not render them in IE8 mode. I really don't see people bothering and going and updating hundreds of thousands of existing web pages/sites. IE8 will break more web sites than it will 'fix'. No matter what Microsoft does, they just make things worse.

    No, he is over 35 and speaks from experience.

  25. Re:Quite revealing... on Microsoft Internal Emails Show Dismay With Vista · · Score: 1

    You will find that most upper management types can't spell or use punctuation worth a damn. They usually have their assistants type stuff up for public or general corporate consumption.
