  1. Re:BEFORE the flamewar commences... on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    As another moderate, yes, I like a little from column A and a little from column B, I too have noticed the anger from the Left. But, what I hate the most is the "double standards" that the Democrats/Left use. They can say all the hateful things, act opposite to what they preach and the press just ignores them, while the Right/Republicans barely put up a fight or not when they should do. I hate it when the Left/Democrats spout off a lie and the Republicans don't bother to correct the media to what the real truth is.

    I've never noticed, until before, on how complicite the media is with he left.

    Hey, I voted for Gore in the last election and I'm sooooooooo emnbarrassed about it, but not this time.

  5. Dr. Dir on The Latest And Greatest Console Applications? · · Score: 1

    This little utiliy was found somewhere in 1993-1995 from PC Magazine. This is similar to Midnight Commander, but for DOS. IT'S STILL GREAT!

  7. KBR here in Houston... on Networking in the Danger Zone? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    KBR (Kellog Brown & Root to you people who don't know) has a big location here in Houston. I heard from a friend that works their that they are the exclusive (or short list of exclusive) company that recruits people to go over to Iraq, Afgahnistan, or elsewhere and processes them here in Houston. I've been told that there is pay schedule as to what the normal salary is here in the US, plus 20% added on, plus another %20 added on for hazzard duty, all tax free. But, these numbers could be wrong. It just might be worth it, but my wife says NO WAY for me, otherwise I would go.

    TAX FREE?? Where do I sign up!

  8. Maybe on Fantasy Island on Java Faster Than C++? · · Score: 1

    Tatoo: Boss, who's that?

    Mr. Rourke: We have here Mr. Java. He has come here to live out his fantasy of being the fastest programming language around. Even faster than C++, but he will discover much more.

    Tatoo: What will he disover, Boss?

    Mr. Rourke: He will discover that he is in fact so slow that the only women he will be able to satisfy are the Granola PETA Vegan lovers that plague the Java world.

  9. Re:Simple -- Art Bell on Interesting Tech-Related Online Talk Radio? · · Score: 1

    Has all the latest in the high tech world

    Well, no, it doesn't have the latest in the high tech world. It has the latest in news that is strange, including things that are high tech. And, actually, it's no longer Art Bell's show, it's George Nory's with Art Bell hosting on the weekends.

    STILL, Coast-to-Coast AM is the BEST thing you can listen to while at work! I DO THE SAME THING! You want to know the latest consipracy? The latest earthquake prediction? Lastest news from the Bible? Latest earth predictions? Genetically modified food? The Skulls? Secret Societies? Different species of aliens? Bigfoot? Terrorism? Bombs? Untold History? Things you didn't know, but should?

    Also, let's not forget the funniest 9-1-1 calls EVER!! HAHAAH!! The one with the guy and the deer in his car and the dog at the telephone booth!! I'm gonna pee from laughing about it!!

  10. WOWZERS! on Realistic Human Graphics Look Creepy · · Score: 1

    I agree so far, this is the best I've seen so far. What made me thing this was real the the mouth area. The lips and chin show very nice surface realism and light reflection. What gave it away were the "glass" eyes.

  11. Re:my next pc? are you crazy? on Phone As Your Next Computer? · · Score: 1

    You just described my Pocket PC Phone, almost. But the Pock PC Phones do have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. I do keep notes, voice messages, contacts, excel and word docs, check my e-mail wirelessly, browse the web, VNC into servers, use Terminal Service to administer servers, use GPS, newer Pocket PC Phones take pictures, I can listen to music, use SD memory cards for more memory, keep track of groceries, create invoices, keep track of mileage, make conference calls, Beam info back and forth, watch videos, To Do List, take notes with handwriting recognition.

    It could be a main desktop if I didn't already have a desktop at home.

    Same here. Currently, I'm secretly ftping Mandrake 10.0 Official AMD64. Good thing I have a DVD burner. The last update to the AMD64 code base was yesterday, the same day the 32-bit version was released.

  17. Re:Prior Art on Clear Channel Buys Patent For Instant Live CDs · · Score: 1

    I work for Clear Channel also (as a contractor) and if you knew anything you know that CCE is giving what the public asks for. CCE bought the patent and business idea fair and square. CCE is the one promoting the concert and anything related at the concert. It's a business, pure and simple. There are contracts over who gets what percentage over what products and the concert is copyright protected and CCE has been given rights, by the singer(s) to distribute this and get a portion of the $$.

    Hell, after a concert I would love to relive I would have LOVED to have this available to me to get all jazzed up again!

    It's very interesting how they go about having the Live CD ready at the end of the concert, but I don't want to give any secrets away, all I want to say is THIS IS A GREAT IDEA!

  18. Re:AMD64? on Mandrakelinux 10 Now Available To All · · Score: 1

    Or you could FTP it from the mirrors. It's in the DEV directories, but they were last updated today, May 5, 2004. I'm going to put it ALL on a DVD, but I need to learn how to make a Linux distro bootable on a DVD/CDROM.

  21. Re:And yet... Earth: Final Conflict on Andromeda And Mutant X Cancelled · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For a while I tried to get into Earth: Final Conflict, but I couldn't stand the bad costumes or get the whole Plot. I gave up on it and then just recently as it's been on Sci-Fi channel in the mornings while I get dressed, I'm hooked now.

    I still don't like the cheesy plots or bad costumes, but I like the underlying struggle and Sci-Fi technology. I love a mystery.

    I say good riddance to Andromeda and Mutant X. Who needs to be addicted to more TV? Let's bring some live action ROBOTECH!!

  23. How about a movie from Anime? on Does A Good Game Make A Good Movie Idea? · · Score: 1

    Okay, I know that some Anime are already movies, but how about Anime into a LIVE ACTION MOVIE ?!?!?!

    I HIGHLY recommend making Robotech into a full length (2 or 3 part) movie. Take specifically MACROSS and make it into a full, live action, special effects movie with all the tear jerker scenes to make the women happy. Don't make it sappy, don't add cheesy lines, don't add horrible SGI, don't add bad props, don't add humor.

    It needs to be heart renching, sad, action, and a very special tough of special effects and camera angles to get the transformations perfect. Go ahead and chop some of the cheesy dialog. Use the BOOK, please GOD, use the Books.

    Also, from books, use the Diary collections from the beginning of each chapter to get the feel of the movie going for people who don't know the series.

    If you need more information, contact me.

    Yep, I still have my TI-89 handy from years ago. It still purrs along and even though the 92 was banned, the 89 was just the same 92 but in a differnt form factor configuration (minus the keyboard). I used it a few times to cheat on a test or two, but it really helped!!
