  1. Hemos, master of the profound. on Treasures Recovered From Sunken Egyptian City · · Score: 4
    "As a kid, I always wanted to be an archaeologist -

    things are different, obviously."

    A master wordsmith if ever there was one. :)

  6. Hey, didja ever notice... on Where Does Microsoft Want You to Go Today? · · Score: 2
    ... that every truly MORONIC invention of Microsoft's has been preceded by something belying its stupidity?

    ?Smart Quotes?

    the "Intellamouse" (which is actually okay, but still, it's just a damned mouse...)

    And now "Smart Tags", which may very well get them sued.

    If Microsoft had invented "Smartmedia", it'd be 2 feet long, 3 feet wide, and weigh several hundred pounds.

  7. err... on Attaching IDE Disks to SCSI Controllers? · · Score: 3
    ...you just pointed us to the website of a company who makes products that convert IDE hard drives to SCSI.

    Then you ask us if you know of a way to convert IDE hard drives to SCSI.

    Is this some sort of trick question? If we lose, do we get thrown off the bridge?

  11. Yes, BUT!!! on CD burning Will Never Be The Same · · Score: 2
    Let's not forget about the few HUNDRED other CD burning programs available for Windows, too. So, if you absolutely, positively *have* to run Windows for some ungodly reason, this affects you exactly how?

    Easy CD Creator adamantly refuses to burn to audio-only CD-Rs anyway, and has since at least the later Adaptec versions. It's a horrid piece of shit.

    Isn't this Iridium, a.k.a the Amiga of satellite phone providers? The company that's been dead for a year now, whose satellites were supposed to fall out of the sky one by one?

  17. Stock Options... on How Employees Value Their Stock Options · · Score: 4
    When I was hired by my current employer, I was given stock options, but I was also given a handsome salary and other benefits. The guy who interviewed me said, in no uncertain terms: "I've seen a lot of people get fucked out of a lot of money because they took stock options in lieu of a salary, and I'm not gonna do that to you." And he meant it. One of the coolest interviews I've ever had.

    Anyone accepting stock options instead of proper compensation for a 40-hour work week needs to have their head examined, in this economic climate at least.
