  1. Re:Oh Canada! on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    Good point. I still think it's funny. :)

    I know I'm going to regret posting in this thread, but I can't resist:

  3. Re:Weather related problems.. on Experiences with DirecWay Satellite Internet · · Score: 1

    How did you get it out of the path of the rain? I live in Florida, too, and the only place I can find that stays dry during a good storm is inside. And that's assuming the roof doesn't leak. ;)

    (I'm a happy Dish Network customer, but we have had a few more outages than I would have expected in the last 9 months or so.)

  4. Re:No way on Experiences with DirecWay Satellite Internet · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it works the other way.

    Would it be easier to find a job if I cancelled my DSL and invested in a flock of pigeons?

    The look on grandma's face when I email her the latest baby pictures might just seal the deal. ;)

  5. Re:Huh? on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen? · · Score: 1

    There are *millions* of people that would have given their left arm just for the ability to write with a pen so they can get a decent job.

    That would kind of defeat the purpose, since I write with my left hand. ;)

    >I imagine flipping thru channels on tv and all the low numbers 1-99 show blank screens or "coming soon" where as all the good shit is on channel 249820 or 873923 or something

    That'll never happen. Everybody knows you can't find good shit anywhere on TV. ;)

  7. Re:How I Deal With Identity Theft on Cringely on Identity Theft · · Score: 3, Funny

    My solution to discurage anyone from stealing my identity has been to default on all my student loans, consistently pay my credit cards a few month late,...

    Ah, good. At least I'm doing something right.

  8. Re:That's the standard on Symantec Adds Product Activation · · Score: 1

    The plural of virus is neither viri nor virii, nor even vira nor virora. It is quite simply viruses, irrespective of context. Here's why.

    Actually, it's "viruses (dammit!)".

    - Hoping somebody will get the obscure reference...
  9. Re:The names may change, but on Diamonds & the RIAA · · Score: 1

    For the record, my wife doesn't even like diamonds. :) And if I told her all the @#$ that DeBeers does, she'd probably spread it like hot gossip.

    No kidding. The only reason my wife's ring has diamonds is because they were heirlooms that have been in her family for several generations.

  10. Re:Needs email address to register... on National Do Not Call List Opens for Registrations · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's working. My confirmation email took quite a while to arrive.

    Hey, give 'em a break. They're artists, not mathematicians...

    Go to f...ing work.


    Waa waa waa. You sound just like my boss.
    I suppose that when I get there you'll want me to actaully _do_ work, too...


    And work from there,


    Yep, that's what I thought...

    Exactly. The only enforceable laws are the ones that the people agree to obey. :)

    Then why do I keep getting speeding tickets? ;)
  17. What I want on What Kind of PHB Do You Want? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    - Tell me what you want done, then leave me the hell alone to do it.
    - If what you want for what I'm currently working on changes, let me know ASAP so I can compensate.
    - Let me finish one thing before you start me on another.
    - When I finish something, look at it, and give me some feedback; good AND bad.

  18. Re:Get away from the light! on Invaders from Space! Leonid Showers tonight. · · Score: 1
    yes, helpfully; it suggests i should observe from the middle of lake ontario.

    Well, if you have access to a boat, that _would_ be a great place to watch from.

    Living in South Florida for my entire life, I can say without a doubt that the greatest night skies I have ever seen were observed from a boat anchored a few miles from shore.
  19. Re:From the "Reminds me of this classic prose" guy on Review: Harry Potter · · Score: 1
    Just one thing puzzles me: why have they retitled the film 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' in the States? Don't Merkin children know what a Philosopher's Stone is?


    Short answer: no.

    Yes, but your guitar will last you for decades...

    ...Not to mention that you could easily, legally, and without harassment buy a used guitar from pawn shops, consignment stores, garage sales, eBay, etc. for a fraction of the price of a new one. I doubt it would be that easy to get you're hands on a used .NET toolkit/license. (even after they've had time to age...)
  21. KaZaA and Ad-aware on Slashback: Mexico, Ukraine, Oceania · · Score: 4
    As everyone knows by now...Kazaa is using top text links [...] My advice would be to get ad-aware.
    I was playing with KaZaA for a few days, but didn't install Top Text with it. (It pays to read those stupid installation screens, I guess.) Anyway, today I ran Ad-Aware and nuked a couple of hits (from Cydoor). After it finished, KaZaA refused to run, because components were missing.

    The punchline was that it wouldn't even uninstall from Add/Remove Programs. I had to reinstall it just to uninstall it nicely.

    I've installed Morpheus from musiccity.com, and I'm running Ad-Aware again. Wonder if this'll turn out any differently...

    (Side note, damn if Morpheus doesn't look almost exactly like Kazaa.)
