  1. Re:I think you left out the most important conclus on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    Tall CHICKS maybe. Love them long legs...

  2. Who Cares? on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    This may apply in bullshitter-type positions (marketing, sales, management), but for coders, who cares? Nobody really cares if even bathe or shave, as long as we pump out the code.

    I make as much (or more) than tall programmers. As to promotion, who wants to be a PHB?

    Your definition of "Plenty" is say, more than two?

  6. Palm ARM Version? on MiniGui, GPL'ed Qt/Embedded Alternative · · Score: 1

    I wish someone would come out with a Linux port that would run on the new Palm OS 5 devices. With the expanded RAM and ARM CPU, these things should handle Linux as well as the Sharp and iPaq devices.

  7. Bah! on 142 Directors Appeal MPAA to Repeal Screener Ban · · Score: 3, Funny

    Not to be crude (well, actually *TO* be crude) about it, but who gives a fuck?

    The Oscars are just money driven politics used to shove more bad movies down our throats.

    I pay *NO* attention to the damn things.

    Look, if you want a copy, rent the damn thing and rip it. You have to wait 6 months, boo hoo! At least then someone is getting a little change out of your cheap ass.

    Damn moves take too long to dl, the quality generally sucks and assholes get off on renaming files so you dl the wrong one.

    Get all the movies off kazaa so I get have the bandwidth for Sealab 2021 and pr0n, dammit!

    Damn hangover...

    Some people would die from that, if they're particularly conductive.

    Who cares? They already paid their $10.

    Somebody mod this up to "Insightful". You are *SO* right!

    Thank Jeebus no military or police force world wide would ever *THINK* of shooting down innocent people.

    Seems that choosing the color "Brown" is appropriate.

  15. Re:Cool, Yes. Legal? Smart? on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 1

    "Windage" actually means the space between the round and the barrel. This space is needed to allow the projectile to be pushed down the barrel.

    Since you have no way to determine where the porjectile will hit the barrel on the way out, you can't say for sure where it will land. I think you can work out a pretty good circle of probability, though.

    I have to go with the "Man Show" on this. If you can grab them, they're real.

  17. Re:elvis? on Review: 'Bubba Ho-Tep' · · Score: 1

    That's just gross.

    Though come to think of it, it sounds like a scene out of an Evil Dead movie...

  18. Re:Cool, Yes. Legal? Smart? on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 1

    We have a place that that in the Memphis area. It's an indoor range so nothing more powerfull than an AK-47. But you can shoot year round.

    Full auto weapons are quite accurate if used correctly. Rambo and Chuck Norris movies are bullshit, of course (fun to watch, though).

    The problem with the mortar is that it's smoothbore. With that much windage, the math is about half guess work. More of an area weapon.

  19. Re:Cool, Yes. Legal? Smart? on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, the 1917 is full auto. IIRC, you have to have a class III to do class II stuff. He builds and repairs guns for the Missouri Highway Patrol, so the whole deal is quite cool with the law (repaired guns have to be test fired).

    I was attached to the Dutch Army when I was in the Army (U.S.) I got to fire their UZIs, FNs and MAGs every year.

  22. Re:Cool, Yes. Legal? Smart? on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 1

    No, the coolest thing about having a Class II buddy is cutting down trees with his M1917 water cooled Browning.

    I hadn't thought of having him make me a shotgun. Good idea. I forget, can you go under 18" on the barrel if you file the paperwork? I would love a pocket 870!

    When Reagan got shot, I just remember all the UZIs...

    It seems /. should publish a spread sheet so we can keep up.

  25. Re:Time for a class action! on SGI Code Changes Not Enough, Says SCO · · Score: 1

    IANALBWALOLAO, but it really seems they have no case.

    Pretty much every claim SCO has made has been shot down by more than one knowledgable person. The way they are handling the cases (by press release) seems to indicate they are going for a stock boost more than anything.

    Besides, this is America, land of the lawsuit. When in doubt, sue. If you're sued, counter sue.
