  1. Re:Get a gun. on Killer Apartment Vs. Persistent Microwave Exposure? · · Score: 1

    Get a gun. Then, make an appointment with the landlord. Explain your fears and phobias (about microwave radiation) to the landlord. Wave the gun back and forth while you are talking. Ask the landlord to relocate the cell-phone towers.

    This strategy is quite effective in dealing with obstinate landlords. I should know since I'm serving time for 1 count of voluntary manslaughter.

    Wait... if you're serving time for voluntary manslaughter, that means your strategy is NOT effective, since obviously the landlord did not do what you wanted him to do (otherwise, why shoot him?).

    But then again, you have a gun and you're willing to use it... I'm sure your strategy is the best strategy ever. No really. ...

    Please don't hurt me.

    He got to kill a guy and is only serving 1 year! Sounds like success to me!

    The whole 3 hours it takes to shop for parts and throw them together and slap an OS on it?

    Im just throwing this in here randomly.

    How exactly did the colonial US break out of its "shell" and move into first world country status and what is stopping others from doing so?

    Whats the difference?

  6. Re:Really lame on Do Programming Languages Affect Your Sexual Performance? · · Score: 1

    "2) There's a common misconception that girls are as interested by sex as boys"

    Really? Could have fooled me. Take a look in the current Marie Claire, Cosmo and the like.

    They are just interested differently.

  10. Equivalent on Marvel Universe Is Almost Like *Real Life* Society · · Score: 1

    "Ricardo Alberich and co-workers at the University of the Balearic Isles in Spain, are tracing the evolution of the Marvel Universe in detail. "

    This is the equivalent of trying to find a deep, moral, reality based meaning out of the crap stuck on a canvas thrown onto it randomly by one of them artistic monkeys.

  11. Re:Wait a sec... on Movie Review: John Q · · Score: 2

    I rather wipe my ass with a $100 bill than to send $1 to UNICEF.

  12. Trancers! on (Almost) Free Movies On-Line... Sorta · · Score: 1

    Has anyone mentioned that DVD's take up less meatworld space than tapes?

    ""Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman) and the animated character Jar Jar Binks are both members of the Senate, representing their respective planets, while Obi Wan (Ewan McGregor) and the now-adolescent Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) have been off training and becoming involved in a variety of adventures.

    Anakin and Obi Wan are called upon to act as bodyguards for Amidala after she is the subject of a foiled assassination.""

    Stupid Assassins, they never aim for the right one.

  15. How? on Bad eBay Experience Spurs Internet Manhunt · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How exactly did they get so much information about a guy just from an Ebay transaction?

    They probably knew:

    - His email address
    - First and Last Name
    - Phone Number (if legit)

    His Meatworld address was fake. But if the phone number was real, you maybe can get a real address. But even so, how did they randomly break into his email? Password spoofers? and get his SSN and credit card info?

    Was the guy sloppy maybe?

    You should be wondering why bandwidth costs so much that it sets the price for content so high in the first place.

  18. Re:Some big ones are still around... on MUDs And The People Who Love Them · · Score: 1

    I certainly remember DragonRealms. I was one of the few people that stuck that thing out from almost the beginning (Character was Myliard just in case anyone recognizes)

    I played that thing from '95 to early '99. Man that stuff is more addicting than crack. I now shudder at the sight of things like UO and Everquest. I sometimes think to myself about giving them a shit (why not right?)

    Then I come to my senses and realize how many countless hours and sleepless nights I spent just trying to build up a certain skill or some crazed out goal I had set that I was determined to accomplish before I hit the sack. Which didnt matter anyways, I was going to go back to it as soon as I got up anyways.

    I am curious, is there like a group to help cope with MUD addiction? Mudder's Anonymous?

  21. What do I see in school? on Techies Saying No To College · · Score: 1

    School does have its advantages.

    For some reason, having a degree makes you more "professional" in the eyes of a pointy-haired boss and the lemming stockholders.

    Im sure many stockholders in company X would like someone in management or in charge of the network infrastructure to be someone who didnt even go to college.

    Personally, I think its a load of crap.

    List of what I see in school thats proves its worthless:

    1) I am currently getting a CS degree for the purpose listed above. Here is the stickler, *** they require everyone to take RPG and COBOL to graduate ***

    Not Perl, not Java, not even C++, but frigging RPG and COBOL!

    2) Have you actually seen some of the numbnuts that get into CS because "its the next big thing" and "I can make a ton of money"?

    There is thing called a "knack". Either you have it or you dont. Most of the people I run into just plain dont.

    3) Scariest of them all. The proffessors just pass everyone in the class because they dont want they failure rate to be too high. Meaning we have all sorts of shiny CS degree and MCSE's that have no clue what they are doing.
