  1. Re:Mickey @ Work on Grateful Dead Percussionist Makes Music From Supernovas · · Score: 1

    If anyone cares, in this photo, Hart's the one on the right.

  2. Re:Cell phone free flights please on Cellphone Use On Planes Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    My guess is that no jury of your peers (i.e. other fliers) would ever convict you.

  3. Re:My history with VIM on Vim 7 Released · · Score: 1

    Try vim -y

    which will put you into "easy" mode. From the vim help:

    -y Easy mode. Implied for |evim| and |eview|. Starts with
                    'insertmode' set and behaves like a click-and-type editor.
                    This sources the script $VIMRUNTIME/evim.vim. Mappings are
                    set up to work like most click-and-type editors, see
                    |evim-keys|. The GUI is started when available.
                    {not in Vi}

    A windows install will put an icon on the screen for this mode.

  4. Re:Moral compass? on Mandrake Linux 9.2, Adware Version · · Score: 1

    Now, that's not to say that I would be apprehensive towards "Jenna" advertisements. Those always bring a smile to my face.

    Umm.... Jenna Jameson or Jenna Bush?

  5. Re:Why are people surprised? on Big Company on Campus · · Score: 1

    Umm... my kids are learning PowerPoint in elementary school as well as Word etc. I'm the bad guy because I've only put OpenOffice on their computer at home. Two can play at that brainwashing game!

  6. Re:start leading.. on Windows XP Edges Out KDE in Usability Test · · Score: 1

    If you really need virtual desktops on Windows try http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/ I use it and it works very nicely. Up to nine (9) desktops.

  7. Re:The American worker loses. on Giant Sucking Noise · · Score: 1

    Fucked over is relative. Compared to *no* job $10 a day working 12 hour shifts *is* better.

  8. Re:"Viral" Marketing on Can I See Your License for those Plants, Sir? · · Score: 1

    I don't think that this is the case (the sterility) since one of the things that they were complaining about was the fact that he was replanting the the seed from past years. In fact this is one of the big complaints from people about these companies is that the contracts specifically forbid them from saving seed for the next year.

  9. Destroying Crops on Can I See Your License for those Plants, Sir? · · Score: 1

    Personally, I like the section that says if he finds it growing on his land he's required to destroy it! If I were Monsanto I'd be tossing this stuff out all over the damn place and then just sitting around raking in the money. Umm... that was sarcasm.

  10. Re:Symbolic hours on Aristotle, Dilbert And The Working Life · · Score: 1
    Everybody recognises this, but no one seems to be able to do anything about it. (Just as managers will sagely nod when someone says "adding more programmers will make a late project later", and then go ahead and put more on anyway.)

    Actually, they'll explain to you how "this project is different" or they've "figured out how to break it down better" and then they'll add more programmers.
