    My wife and I went to the Open Caption version of X files when it came to town, neither of us were impressed, the open caption part was sort of cool..

    Oz is very cool. SG1 kicks ass, "MacGuyver in Space!!!!"

    Sex in the city annoys me, I'm not sure why.

    I live next to a guy who thinks up stuff, patents it, then waits for a company to call him and ask if they can build it and send him $

    He makes a pretty good living just licencing his patents.

  11. Re:What does this mean for e-commerce? on Shamir's new Crypto Gadget · · Score: 1

    I think E-commerce is safer.
    I thought adding every agrophobics fear into the equasion was a bit humourous. It probably would of been safer without all the disasters.

    I don't know why, but I like shopping offline.
    I work all day for my money, I want there to be some substance to spending it. That means going to the store, picking through stuff, purchasing the items and possibly getting mugged on the way to your car :) The CLICK Your money is gone is just to empty for me.

    I use e-commerce to find stuff to buy (www.pricewatch.com) but if I want to buy what they are selling, I try to find a 800 # so I can order it over the phone from a person. I call Amazon and order my books over the phone.

    By the way... when I read about the LED's on the TWINKLE thing I couldnt help thinking of those wall size 'computers' fabricated of lightbulbs in the old sci-fi shows. *blink* *blink* *blink*

    There were real numbers... I have forgot them.
    I just thought it was funny how they had to add in acts of god in order to skew the numbers. (I remember that)

    I don't think e-commerce is dangerous, I have never ordered anything online not because of fear that 'they' will get my cc#, but because I would really rather go outside and purchase whatever from another person in a store. (one of those human interaction things)

    I saw once somewhere, vauge enough?, that a 'Study' had shown that sending your credit cards over the net was 80 times safer that going out to eat at a resturaunt (and paying with the card).

    After reading the small print I noticed that:
    The 'dangers' of the web were:
    getting your # stolen.
    The 'dangers' of the dinner were:
    Car accident
    Fire
    Flood
    Earthquake
    `Act's of God`
    Theft
    Mugging
    Murder
    etc...(Pretty much everything bad that can happen to you out of your house)

    I still go out to dinner, and will not ever put my card# on the web.

  14. Re:Help you I can, yes! on Microsoft Withholds Y2K Fix for Win95? · · Score: 1

    I Like Microsoft, as long as they do stuff like this, I have Job security.
    Think... How can you work in an industry where everything runs smoothly? If it doesn't break you can't fix it. If you can't fix it you can't bill.
    I make how much I do :) because Microsoft products are always needing fixing, or needing patches that the average user can't find.
    So, Thank you Microsoft, for building a piece of garbage that allows me to pay the rent.

    Now I have to ask... Was that sarcastic?

    You decide.

  16. You're right! on Voices From The Hellmouth · · Score: 1

    My wife calls it 'Nerd Revenge!!'.
    Nerd Revenge!! is where the 'outcasts' in highschool end up in VERY high paying enjoyable jobs, and the people who picked on the 'outcast' end up asking the 'outcast' "do you want fries with that?".

    [SOB STORY RANT]
    I was picked on in highschool. I actually 'snapped' at one point in time, I was sent home for standing up in the middle of class and screaming at some 'jocks' who were throwing 'paper footballs' at me. Summed up I told them to F-off and die, they told me it was I who would die. I stopped and looked around and realized the sillyness of it all and proceded to laugh, they thought I was laughing at the threat of death. I was sent to the office and held for about an hour, didn't stop laughing the whole time, they finally sent me home for the day. On my way home, during lunch hour, the 'jocks' actually hit me with their car (~5mph), and proceded to 'whup' me. One small problem with their plan... My parents in one of their 'Lets boost his self esteem' plans, enrolled me in AIKIDO when I was in 6th grade. I was able to hold them off until the Police came and hauled them away, assault with deadly weapon (car). No one touched me ever again, I was actually 'praised' for being able to 'hold my own'.
    [/SOB STORY RANT]

    The whole point of the above stuff is, a while ago I was at a BurgerKing for a 'lunch meeting' with some co-workers, the guy who took our order was the driver of the car that hit me.

  17. RE: Vektor on Why Kids Kill · · Score: 1

    Are you serious?

    When did children become sub-human? Last time I heard ALL humans have a right to privacy, even the little ones.

    Responsible parenting is what is needed, not iron-fist-police-state-search-and-seizeure-because -i-said-so parenting.

    I play doom/quake/etc. I own a trenchcoat. My parents NEVER searched me for 'contraband'. I have private files on my computer, they are still private. I was an 'outcast' throughout in school, I had TWO friends both 'outcasts'. I was mocked/ignored/etc... I am listening to marilyn manson while typing this. I have lived through almost every 'hell' possible for a 'nerd'

    I have never hurt anyone. I never will.

    You can't make someone a killer by showing them rated R movies. The goverment wouldn't need to give Special Forces troops Psych exams to find out if they are 'acceptable'. A training program of Doom games, violent movies, making fun of each other, and viewing offensive material on the internet would do just fine.
