  1. Good Headhunter on Have You Personally Used an Honest Head Hunter? · · Score: 1

    I've had a very positive experience with 1 headhunter. She's never given me any kind of runaround and done her best to place me.

    Her name is Connie Dorigan (Dorigan & Assoc.) and her contact info is:

  2. I'm sorry Dave... on Executive Secretary In Every Computer · · Score: 1

    Dammit! I said 'Delete the #$%^&! file!

    I'm sorry Dave, I can't allow you to do that.

  3. Great! on Optical Recognition System To Foil Card Counting? · · Score: 1

    With this in place, only the *casinos* will be able to cheat.

  4. Single Player Mods on RTCW: Enemy Territory Test Released · · Score: 1

    Are there any single player mods for RTCW out there?

  5. Hacking the Hughes HDVR2 on TiVo Home Media Rollout · · Score: 1

    I have a Hughes HDVR2 and I *thought* I would be able to get PIP on my TV with it because it has 2 tuners. My TV requires 2 separate sources for PIP. However both outputs on the TiVo unit output *both* channels so I *still* can't get PIP because when I swap sources on the TV each source only picks up the output from the 1st tuner. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it possible? If you have an answer, please e-mail me at robinsiebler@321.net

    Thanks!

  6. A different point of view on Photographer Fired For Digitally Altering Photo · · Score: 1

    I'd say that he wasn't neccessarily fired for editing the photo, but for doing a botched job of it. To me, when I looked at the pictures, the only major difference between the 2 were the posture of the soldier and the posture of the standing villager. If the guy had simply changed the position of the guy standing, there wouldn't have been duplicate villagers and no one would have been the wiser. Who knows how frequently something like that happens?

  7. Printing done easy (on Windows) on Prime Time Freeware Manual: the Dossier Series · · Score: 1

    Use FinePrint 2000. You can print up to 8 pages on one side and print doublesided quite easily.

  8. Too bad they didn't... on The Economics of Spam · · Score: 1

    post her e-mail address...

  9. Re:Humanitarian aid on One Million AOL discs to be returned to AOL · · Score: 1

    I knew someone once who made a gun that fired cd's. It looked like a larger version of the toy that fires little disks. The gun could embed a cd 1/2" - 1" in a wall from 10 feet away.

  10. How to dispose of a monitor... on Recycling The First World, in the Third · · Score: 1

    I'd just sit it on the curb and in the morning it would be gone. That's how I dispose of all of my obsolete hardware.

  11. Testing Tools on Automatic Functional Testing for Mac and Linux? · · Score: 1

    I am currently bet testing a Mac OSX program that uses TCP/IP and VNC to test software on any platform with a VNC server. The company is called Redstone Software - www.redstonesoftware.com.

  12. Re:Flammable Materials on Water Guns · · Score: 1

    When they first came out with the motorized squirt guns (back in the summer of '85, I beleive), my roommate and I got 2 of them. We filled them up with slightly watered Jergins hand lotion and went to a porn theater. We had a blast (pun intended). Unfortunately, we forgot to rinse them out afterwards and the lotion dried up and ruined the guns.

  13. Re:Depends on working practices on How Much Do Employers Budget for Education? · · Score: 1

    When I was at M$, they would totally reimburse you for classes if you got a B or better. You could also take the class during normal working hours with your managers approval.

  14. Personal on Amusing Job Titles for Business Cards? · · Score: 1

    At one point in my life I used to go to Science Fiction conventions as Elric of Melnibone. I bleached my hair, had red contacts, the whole ball of wax. So, as a lark I had a business card made. The logo was the chaos symbol and the words were:

    Elric of Melnibone
    Sorcerer/Warrior
    Maidens destroyed, Friends Betrayed
    1-800-GO-CHAOS

  15. Re:Differing opinion on Are Strong Passwords All That Strong? · · Score: 1

    I worked at Microsoft. They require strong passwords and they require that you change your password every 60 days (I think, it could be 90). You also aren't allowed to repeat your last 3 passwords. I only had trouble remembering my password when I would come back from vacation. Creating a password that I would remember was a bit more problematic. I would usually take an event, the book I was currently reading or a game, abreviate that and add numbers and punctuation to it.

  16. Re:My personal favorite on Amusing Job Titles for Business Cards? · · Score: 1

    When I was in the QA dept. for a gaming company, we all had our business cards made with the title "Professional Moaner - I get paid to bitch!"

  17. Re:Here's one I saw today on Finding Humor in Trademarks(tm)? · · Score: 2

    How about "Build on NT Technology". Doesn't that mean "Built on New Technology Technology"?

  18. Re:What did you use at Microsoft? on Building a Test Automation System from Scratch? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft uses internal tools, for the most part. I used VisualTest for somethings and internal tools or VB/VBA. M$ has groups of people that do nothing other than write test tools. A co-worker and myself also wrote a test harness in VB that used Visual Test.

  19. You call that a price increase? on CD-R Prices Could Triple This Summer · · Score: 1

    I remember...let's see...back in the summer of '94 when CD-R's were upwards of $10 a piece *in bulk*.

    And there is something *wrong* with this?

  22. Times login on Congress Reconsiders Internet Sales Tax · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know how to view this without a login? partners. doesn't seem to work anymore. And I *refuse* to have a gratuitious login for this or any site that requires one.

  23. Re:Ah, old Sierra games . . . on Leisure Suit Unix · · Score: 1

    My wife has this (board) game. I've never played it though.

  24. Re:There's proof...and your right on DoubleClick Banner Ad Patent Busted · · Score: 1

    I guess that depends on how liberal your wife is. My wife knows what turns me on and goes to rent the porno's for us to watch. And although we haven't done it yet, she is quite open to us bringing another woman home...

  25. Re:But will it be as successful as vhs macrovision on The Bride Of Macrovision · · Score: 1

    Try something like this - http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/things/328a.html. This is a bit high end, but there are cheaper ones out there.
