  1. my experiance... on "Industry Standard" Paycuts in IT? · · Score: 0

    ... was when I got my job 6 months ago. I knew I could make at least 50k doing what I do...

    they only offerend me 40. I had to take it regardless, student loans chasing at my feet...

    hopfully by the 12month review I can convince them that I do kick as much ass as I do.

  2. Re:Respect on Review: Creative Labs Video Blaster - Digital VCR · · Score: 0

    Creative labs has had HORRIBLE trouble with the enthusiast market recently, your experiances are a perfect example of this.

    Dell for instance, has responded by selling turtle beach sound cards in their recent boxes over Creativelabs.

    simply, cause they work.

    Creative has to get their shit togeather.

  3. ? entrapment ? on Wireless, GPS-Loaded 'Bait Car' Traps Thieves · · Score: 0, Redundant

    uh.... doesn't that constitute entrapment???

    I'm no legal expert, but that seems a bit over the line to me.

  4. web-redesign.com on What Makes a Good Web Design? · · Score: 1

    http://www.web-redesign.com

    buy the book.

    I think all the 3 ranked posts here are good.

    you just have to find a functionality, and stick with it. nothing sucks more then a site that does different things diffferent ways across different pages.

    keep your navigation simple, and easy to use.
    and unless your an amazing pro, don't go near flash. it takes real talent, and real technical knowhow to do it well.

  5. it's a tool for piracy on Blizzard Rains on Bnetd Project · · Score: 1

    I bet people have said this already, but the real reason I bet is that it's being used as a tool to play pirated versions of the game.

    if the BNETD project wasn't going, there would be no way to play the pirated war3 beta.

    if anything, its the best use of the DCMA that I have ever seen. it wasn't a decision made to be stupid, their protecting their product in a very fair way.

  6. concerns... on Nano-sized Microchips? HP Says So. · · Score: 1

    you know... chips are pretty damn small already.
    wouldn't you be afraid of loosing it? if it's only the size of a bacterium?

    other wise. COOL!

  7. your forgetting one very important thing. on Microsoft's Family Room Change · · Score: 1

    ... ever notice that the XBOX doesn't have a coaxial connection on the back???
    Just RCA.

    which means you still need some sort of VCR or Cable box to connect you to the wall, unless your digital cable box (which is FAR from everyone) has RCA outs.

    the XBOX is NOT positioned right now to compete with TiVo. It doesn't have the hardware, (coax connection, the DVD remote doesn't have enough functions) and it doesn't have the software. I havn't hacked my xbox, but I don't think the put any DV encoding and storage software in there. true, you could install some software... but I think that would be the WRONG thing for M$ to start doing. "Buy your Xbox, and don't forget to get your monthly update software" It's not a PC, we can't go get a bigger hard drive when windows starts taking up 2 gigs of HD space.

    M$ isn't dumb, even when their clueless. the xbox is NOT ready to compete with TiVo. maybe Xbox 2... but they won't be able to sell that... as mentioned before in this thread.

  8. amazing, in only 30 minutes... on The Guts Of An iPod · · Score: 1

    ... the site is completly slashdotted...

    you guys broke the macNN message boards.

    thats amazing.

  9. Sony probably fears the truth coming out. on Sony Uses DMCA To Shut Down Aibo Hack Site · · Score: 1

    That the AIBO is built on alien technology, and that it is years beyond any true AI development we have of our own...

    I mean... it's sony, they've already got one of these aliens in all their mini-disk commercials.

    :)

  13. Re:Geomagnetic Storm Jokes on Geomagnetic Storm To Begin Tonight · · Score: 1
