  1. Re:I have a religious objection to voting on Voting A Class Requirement For Some At Drew · · Score: 1

    Unless you are a member of a religion based on lies and deceit, such actions would be viewed as disingenuous and therefore 'not right'. Proximity to a booth would not in its self be wrong. I personally would be compeled not to answer if asked if I had voted.

  2. Re:Gibbering uncontrollably? on Experiment Cuts Off Online Junkies from Internet · · Score: -1

    As opposed to the liberal minded 'internet access is a basic human right' crowd? Give me a break.

  3. Re:Blacklisting? on Stopping Disruptive Users in Online Communities? · · Score: 3, Funny

    You sound as if there is something inherently wrong with blacklisting AOL?

  4. To quote Chris Farley... on Half-Life 2 Submitted to VU For Approval · · Score: -1, Troll

    La-de-freakin-da!

  5. Should you stay or go... on Most Fun Way to Leave a Bad Job? · · Score: 1

    Can you get a list of company email addresses? You know what to do. That pack rat next to you never clean up? Maybe a stinky piece of cheese or a dead rat stuck behind a wall plate will change his mind in a week or two. Office gossip? Return the favor. Tube of graphite in someone's new computer? Magnets in their monitor base? Get a photo and post them on a gay singles site. I think that's enough for now.

    He can track you down at your new job and spill the beans to your new boss.

    Depends on where you live. If you're in a 'right to work' state, this is grounds for some serious law suits. And an ass whoopin.
  7. Re:The big internet blackout on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you download HL2, the cyber-terrorists win.

  8. Re:I have a great idea. on Circuit City Migrating to Linux · · Score: 1

    I've been told CC stopped working on commision.
    And I've heard people alluding to them not being around too much longer.

  9. Re:I'm not into FPS games anymore... on NovodeX Physics Engine SDK/Demo Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would dare to assume that this could be used to create things like virtual monster chess/ checkers/ jenga/ whatever. It could stomp a mud hole in Steam Checkers.

  10. Would you like a sticker? on RFID More Hackable Than Retailers Think? · · Score: 1

    Guess my personal boycott of WalMart is over. Watch out for falling prices Sam.

    Yes, I know they don't 'tag' each item,.....yet.

  11. Easy Bake Oven on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    1. 90+ F summer day
    2. 50 year old trailer, aka Easy bake oven
    3. One window unit AC on the other end of said trailer
    4. AMD K6-III 450MHz machine running in a closet

    Repeat for two summers. It would freeze up frequently, but the SOB still works. And it's an AMD, imagine that.

  12. Re:Another fad on Getting Things Done? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could be worse. Someone could 'Move your cheese'.

  13. Time on What Motivates Software Developers? · · Score: 1

    If I can spend an eight hour shift coding up something that will run in five minutes, something I can manually do in 30, then it's motivation enough for me.

  14. Obligatory on Hotel Tycoon Pushes Inflatable Space Stations · · Score: 2, Funny

    SpaceShipOne has just entered LEO. Wait a minute. You're not Mike Melville!

    No, I'm not. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Hey, do you know where I can find a subway? I sure am hungry.

  15. Re:We are getting close on A Look at the Newly Released Mozilla Firefox 0.9 · · Score: 1

    As much as I love Notes I think it is a bit of a hog. But, then again it might also be my PII 400MHz machine with 384MB RAM. And with as many people as I have set up replication for, none of them ever understood or used it. They always clicked on the server copy of their mail file and complained that 'Notes is down.'

  16. Re:Advice on Uniquely Bright: Experiences and Tips? · · Score: 1

    What's sad is not that I program in ABAP, but I do use SAP at work. So I at least know what you are talking about. Still further the resticted access to the system, all the data manipulation I have to do is usually done in Excel and with VB macros. :O~

    I've grown a natural lack of concern to damn near everything, what Buddhist call a healthy detachment. (I think that's the right word. You get the idea.) What I really miss is someone to enjoy my misery with. (prep.) But social skills and a general distrust of people make it hard to be social. But that's a whole other psyco-analysis battery, much of which I have figured out, but not found a solution for.
    I think I'll go get branded soon. A pig on the left inside forearm and a coiled up rattler on the right.
    Oh, and my agnosticism has more to do with my lack of faith in myself, not the knowledge that there is in fact no omnipotent, omniceint god. Quite a silly notion.

  18. drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity on Uniquely Bright: Experiences and Tips? · · Score: 1

    I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

    Either that or start a cult. You could always join mine.

    And yes, I am serious.

    I've been dead since I was 12. I feel like Bruce Willis when he realized he was dead.
