  1. Re:mixed feelings on Transformers Full Theatrical Trailer Available · · Score: 1

    i think bumblebee, like many new actors, "got hollywood". he probably had some work done and hoped no one would notice. i bet it pissed the production people off when he showed up for work one monday as a mustang instead of a camero. i mean, working in mark hamill's scars is one thing, but changing brands as a car? isn't that like getting a sex change op for a person?

  2. Re:Apples & Oranges? on Army of Davids Beats Pentagon Procurement · · Score: 1

    allow them to get real funding (and fast)

    err..you must be mistaken, they're talking about the government..

    Even worse would be Transient Wireless Attack Tool...

  4. for police work? on Measure Anything with a Camera and Software · · Score: 1

    I just heard something on the radio the other day that sounds the same and now i can't find any mention of it, but basically it said that cops have something very close to this type of software now and are using it to clear accident scenes quicker. instead of having to measure by hand every aspect of the accident, they take a decent amount of pictures and use the software to calculate distances.

    hmm.. enough homeowners in a neighborhood working together could put up a small chapter!

  9. Re:Find a new job. on Taking Your Programming Skills to the Next Level? · · Score: 1

    besides the fact noted below that unemployment isn't available if you quit, do you know how little it actually pays? i do. very little. veeeeeery little. unless you've got some savings to hold you up for those six months, don't expect to be able to eat or pay your bills with what you'll get.

  10. Re:That list of skills is why you see the resume on Writing a Good Technical Resume? · · Score: 1

    yep, when i started looking for my last job, i noticed i wasn't getting many calls at all. i decided to rewrite it with name brands of the technology i worked with instead, and the calls started coming in.

    the funniest though was the question "how's your TCP/IP?"

  11. Re:Why do you keep asking? on You Have Been 'Randomly' Selected? · · Score: 1

    cause the more they harass "normal" people, the less the "normal" people will want to fly. soon the only ones left flying will be the terrorists (and weirdo hippies aiming to make trouble), then BAM! you've gottem!

  12. Re:Backups don't need to be tricky these days on It's 2006 and Backups For Home User Still Tricky? · · Score: 1

    that's a biiiiig assumption.

  13. Re:My experiences on Solutions to the Frustrations of Video? · · Score: 1

    I actually had a DVD that skipped quite a bit in my DVD player, which happened to be my PS2. I did some searches, found a guide to adjusting something within the player itself. Worked on one DVD i had, I was able to adjust it enough that it wouldn't skip.

    bolony, its a new term for countries where outsourcing has been shipped off to india. that's how they plan on world dominance. instead of having a colony...

  16. Re:WHY!?!? on Limiting Kids' Computer Time? · · Score: 1

    You really can't cut them off from the internet and expect them to learn to program.
    Even if you buy them books on whatever language they're learning, they will still need google to look up questions once they get more advanced


    heh..i find this comment really funny considering i learned BASIC in the early 80's before i even knew what a modem was.

    damn i feel old..

  17. Re:From the article: on Barcode Scam Redux - Target's $4.99 iPod · · Score: 1

    i know in texas (at least it was years ago) it was the law, if the retailer made a mistake in the price labelling, they had to abide by it. that was thrown out the window if it could be shown the customer put the tags on themselves of course.

  18. old trick on Barcode Scam Redux - Target's $4.99 iPod · · Score: 1

    i saw this ten+ years ago when i worked for target. the trick then was to cut off a UPC for a procuct who's 8 character or whatever description was along the same lines of the thing you wanted to buy. tape it to the box of what you really wanted, and most cashiers wouldn't bother to look.

  21. Re:I haven't had problems on Mobile Magazine's Notebook Tech Support Reviews · · Score: 1

    i don't like the directory-capable ones, there never appears to be enough room and they usually don't allow resizing the partitions without ruining whatever system you have setup. unless you export it to the aforementioned 3-ring system..
