    Now that's the Monopoly that I remember. If I was the Banker, I'll just cheat by sneaking $500 in my stack! HAHAHA!

    We'd make up our own rules and someone will just get pissed off!

  5. Re:pcHDTV 3000 is a Great option! on Preparing for the Broadcast Flag? · · Score: 0

    Question: Even though it will accept OTA HDTV signals, couldn't I just get the Cable decoder box to output the decoded singal into a "Channel" that the card will understand and then build my PVR around it?

    I want to be able to record all my HD and non-HD channels, including SD HBO and HD HBO.

    The Bible said to stone adulterors.... I don't see anyone being stoned in Divorce Court. So... don't take the Bible literally, use it as a guide to stay on the straight and narrow.

    TechTV... R.I.P.

    I knew thee well, for Screensavers was a righteous show with actual substance. Farewell to all that had a great idea. Time to move on and stay with Cartoon Network, Sci-Fi channel, and Comedy.

    But, alas, let's not for get Anime Unleashed!

  11. Directron ROCKS! on Where Do You Shop for Server Components? · · Score: 0

    I'm lucky to live in the same city as Directron, HOUSTON, and they have the best prices and almost everything I need! If they don't have it then I go to New Egg, but Directron is my first stop, then if they have it I just drive over during my lunch-time, play a few games on one of the many PC game systems that have around while I wait for my parts.

    Access... don't knock it 'till you try it.

    Yeah, it can be a pain when you don't have stored procs to help you, but the gui to create queries and forms fast and easy can't be matched. All of the events are already built into the controls, you just have to attach code to it. No need to create an event handler and build the method to handle the event, just click on the "..." next to the Event name and start coding. And don't even try to rip the Parent/Child relationship with forms from my cold dead hands. Yeah, I can do the same thing with C# .Net, but it will take a lot longer. And reports, they are a HELL of a lot easier than SQL Reporting Service.

    For quick small apps that need to be maintained, you can't be Access. I've built tons of apps with Access, but that's not my only tool. I'm currently building another Client/Server database app, but I'm using C# Winforms and won't let Access near my code base.

    Oh, and BTW, I just spent the past weekends getting Red Hat Enterprise WS and ES installed and configured for Computational Fluid Dynamics software and it's working fine. It was a BITCH to get NFS/Samba working so the machines could see each other, but they're working and my client is HAPPY!

  14. What a coincidence on Formula One Racing Just a Matter of Crunching the Numbers · · Score: 0

    What a coincidence that I am installing and cofiguring Fluent on two linux workstations right now. I have a small project to get the Fluent licence manager working on a linux server and then install and get fluent working on two other linux workstations. It's strange that once you've never heard of something before, then you turn around and you see it EVERYWHERE!!

    Jive?

    Actually, there was a DOS program in the early 90s that you fed it a text file and it would translate the document to Jive. IT WAS HILARIOUS!! I think I still have it.

    I may be wrong, but I never heard Kerry admin that he was wrong. In fact, I've never heard Kerry admit to being wrong to anything. I don't think I've heard Bush said he was wrong on anything either. Hell, I've been wrong most of the time, but thank GOD for my wife for setting me straight!

  18. Re:SouthPark on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 0

    He's capable of thinking for himself, not merely a puppet.

    What are you smoking?!! I want what you have if you believe that! Kerry can't think for himself unless he has Polled the hell out of it, and even then he changes his mind every 15 minutes (well, not that long, sometimes it's even shorter).

    At least Bush has the BALLS to make his stand. I might not like Bush's stance on some issues, but, dammit, you know where he stands and shoots straight!

    P.S. Yes, it is a choice between a Turd Sandwich and a Douche Bag, but a choice of the lesser of two evils, and I'm scared about the Douche Bag.

    Yep. For years I was thinking that I would have to pay millions to NASA to launch my remains, not ashes, into space in some sort of photon-torpedoe container. Now, I just have to spend a round $100,000 or more and my body can go on forever (in relative terms unless I get intercepted by any space aliens and later revived or collide with something else)!!

    Now I can be entombed in space. Just send me towards the Pleiadian star system!
