  1. Social Engineering? on Professors vs. WiFi · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ok, so studets are being rude and disrespectful, and teh solution is to unplug the network? Why not ask that students NOT use their computers during a lecture? You know, act like grownups?

    Don't give me this "I pay your salary BS." If you don't want to listen to the lecture, stay in your room and surf porn. But, if I'm the teacher, it is my duty to deliver what you paid me to deliver. If I ask you to kindly treat me with a tad bit of respect and close the lid on your laptop, then just do it.

  6. Simon Delivers on Step 2, Groceries · · Score: 1

    Many people in the Twin Citeis area have found satisfaction with SimonDelivers.

    Their interface is great and the prices aren't bad. I see SimonDelivers trucks all over the place every day. They must be doing OK. In fact, I need to go finish up this week's grocery list. MMMMMM..steak.

    "I'm not embarassed to admit that I'm 26 years old..."

    That explains a great deal about this website. It's all so clear now.

  9. Superdrive for the rest of us? on Apple Gives Laptops Speed Bumps · · Score: 1

    Can I upgrade the combo drive in the 800Mhz DVI PowerBook I just bought (ouch!) to a SuperDrive?

    C'mon Santa Mac, hook me up!

  10. That's a server room, not your rec room. on What's the Proper Temperature for a Server Room? · · Score: 1

    What are you doing typing in the server room? Rack your gear and get the F out. You should admin them via some sort of remote access. The air conditioning is there for the servers, not you. Go home and SSH while naked.

  11. My PowerBook has the best recption. Seriously. on TiBook Wi-Fi Range Hack: New Card · · Score: 1

    I have used several wintel laptops with several WiFi cards. (Cisco, D-Link, Lynsys) My TiPowerBook with the Airport card has the *best* range of any other combination. Not sure if I just bought one with the "problem" fixed.

    Regardless, I can go just about anywhere on my property in and out of the house with a good signal. Luck me?

  12. Re:Good Riddance... on Careers After Tech? · · Score: 1

    REAL engineers are actually people who have a degree in Engineering. The rest of us just stole that title.

  13. Re:GPS Mapping Software on A Better Breed of GPS Software? · · Score: 1

    I have used ExpertGPS for years and really enjoy it. My only gripe is that the maps they use are often SEVERELY outdated.

    Can somebody point out an example of a delta from one month to another?

  15. "Any Day Now" on Category 6 UTP Standard is (finally) Here · · Score: 2, Funny

    I had this company trying to sell me a Cat6 or Cat7 install. When I busted him by reminding him that there was no such spec yet, He fumbled, insisting they'd comply to the standard which would be out "any day now." I told him if he ever tried to sell me a line of shit like that again, I'd thow him and his installers out immediately. This was 1996. I should track that dork down.

  16. No, please. No Aspartame debate on /. on FDA Approves More Powerful Sugar Substitute · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hope this post doesn't cause a "wear you tinfoil hats cuz aliens use aspartame to control your brains" discussion. Read this."

  17. Re:Don't buy online. on Preventing Identity Theft and Credit Card Fraud? · · Score: 1

    That's simplistic, moronic and just plain wrong. I'd go into the 'why' in more detal, but other more intelligent posts here have explained it. The technology of online transactions is by far NOT your weakest link. Mod this crap down.

  19. The Holodeck on Impossible Movie Stunts? · · Score: 1

    The Holodeck. It had no rules even in the script. It got out of hand.

  20. Privacy & access on Satellite Email via GPS? · · Score: 1

    This looks great. But...

    Wha about privacy? Do spammers get access to your most recent coordinates, too?

    Can I also access the email from, say, an IMAP account? Where is the email stored?

    Other than that, I want one.

    Yes. The poster is young and ignorant. I.too, thought this was common knowledge.
