  1. i was the same way on Building Social Skills in Gifted Youths? · · Score: 1

    until a female showed intrest in me :) on went the deoderant and since i wasnt gonna comb the hair i lopped it off!

  2. Re:Great idea....for thieves! on The Universal Card · · Score: 1

    These cards are useless at most retailers because the card must have the name of the person on the front. Granted that's not checked nearly often enough. The other reason they wont be accepted that IS checked frequently is the lack of a number on it to be verified against what the computer reads.

  3. QUAKE on Gyroscopic Wireless Mouse · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Now what i am suprised i havent seen yet is one of these mice chopped up and put on a toy gun. The end of the toy gun would have a laser pointer on the end to help you line up with your cross hairs initialy. Coupled with a projector you could have a lot of fun!

  4. Re:old ? on Gyroscopic Wireless Mouse · · Score: 1

    Heh. When we origionaly started carrying them when i still worked retail (over a year ago) we could succesfully walk 150ft away and it would still work. The unit with a keyboard was $100

  5. Re:I'm skeptical. on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 1

    It doesnt need to be a high powerd magent. If it can hold 5 sheets of paper on your fridge it can de-magnetize the tags.

    Shouldn't have signed for it when it came to the door!

  8. Re:Get another cat? on Protecting Your Gear from Pets? · · Score: 1

    Two cats, kitten loves to chew cords. Like everything else it was a phase.

  9. Re:unlikely... on RSA Creating RFID Blocker Tag · · Score: 1

    All rfid's are limited by metal being in the way. Passive rfid's are affected by liquid even.

  10. Re:Someone's trying too hard... on RSA Creating RFID Blocker Tag · · Score: 4, Informative

    My rfid badge still works at work in an anti-static bag. I just tested it. Could have something to do with the fact that EZpass, etc. are ACTIVE rfid's and the rfid in my badge is PASSIVE much like the kind that will be used in stores.

  11. Re:Good job Microsoft! on MS and Sendmail work together on Spam Solution · · Score: 1
    Let's assume it is .05 percent which gives us 21 emails that get responses (i even rounded down). Now lets look at the situation a little bit more realisticly. Since %5 was way to high we need to also realize that one email per second is way too slow. It would only require our spammer to send 3 emails per second to make some profit.


    Your point: Unless your certain of your figures you cant use it to make an argument on the impact of putting a price on email

    My 'rebutle': I agree with you.

    My point: Why charge when there are other more effective ways that dont cost anything?

  12. Re:Good job Microsoft! on MS and Sendmail work together on Spam Solution · · Score: 2, Insightful

    a) I am not paying an extra $50 just to send email from my home server for a certificate.

    b) $50 a server for a spammer is like the average joe forking out money for a tootsie roll. Assume $50 gets him 12 hours of spamming before he gets the cert yanked. Lets assume he sends one email per second and receives a dollar for every email responded to. That's 43,200 emails a day and we will further assume only 5 percent get responded to. That's $2,160 for 12 hours of spamming gross, $21,110 net. I must be missing something.

  13. Re:Why lack of women? on Girls in the Gaming World · · Score: 1

    Blowing away my chance to moderate here... I agree gaming for a living is a bit silly but do what you love, if you happen to make money at it, even better.

  14. Re:There is only one reason for arcades now on State of the U.S. Arcade Industry 2004 · · Score: 1

    When you can purchase a metal dance pad for DDR and lose some weight playing non-stop at home i would have to say that ddr is a bad example :) I do agree however especially when it comes to things like flight simulators or racing games. The quality of the equipment is usually significantly better at the arcade places.

  15. Re:Why? on What Kind of Tablet PC to Buy? · · Score: 1

    I bought a laptop as a comp sci student and uses it non-stop. There's something to be said about being given a week to do a programming assignment and burning it to a cd and handing it in half way through the class.

  16. the ultimate place on Surplus Lab Equipment? · · Score: 5, Informative
  17. Re:I dont think I would hack my car on Hack Your Car · · Score: 1

    I must agree with you. Like everything else you need to READ THE FUCKING MANUAL. If you get a shop manual for your particular make/model/year vehicle, READ IT, and follow it to a tee you will be just fine.

  18. I would like on What to Get My Geek for Valentine's Day? · · Score: 1

    From my girlfriend on valentines day i would like a night of hot and horny sex like every other man. Just do something unusual to knock his socks off that you wouldn't normaly do. Just because you are dating a geek doesnt mean EVERYTHING has to involve some sort of geek theme.

  19. The problem with this article on The Trouble with RFID · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The problem with this article is the simple fact that they start out by talking about passive rfids and then switch to ways they can be abused that would only work on ACTIVE rfids. The big difference? One has a battery and broadcasts its number a significant range.

  20. The good stuff on Which Instant Coffee? · · Score: 1

    One of the worlds best coffee is Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. While it is not instant coffee as the poster asked for it is one of the best tradional filterd coffee's. While i cant find any exact data online one of the reasons it is supposidly so good is the altitude it's grown at. It has a nice smooth flow... i definatly recomend trying some if you get a chance. Look out though, it's rather spendy to buy online. Every year when i bring it back with me i pay roughly $12 a pound.

  21. in the health care industry on RHIC Computing Facility Crosses the 1 PB Mark · · Score: 1

  23. Re:Back when I was doing this at school on Rolling Your Own Wireless Communications System? · · Score: 1

    Blue tooth range is shorter then wi-fi. You can get Voip enabled cellphones but your school would have to pitch out about $500 a handset. You can build something similar with certain pda's. If you want more info just reply with your email addy and i'll hook you up.

    Not to mention it will be so badly skewed by the people allready offering invites all over chat networks everywhere.

  25. Re:I think I'd have to disagree... on Toyota Offers Automatic Parallel Parking Option · · Score: 1
    to assume that a person who is illiterate, crippled, a junior-high drop-out, mentally-challenged and have seriously hampered vision cant drive for anything is wrong. Since there are signs that are colored so you dont need to read, controls to help people who can't move like the rest of us, mentally challenged doesnt mean you cant drive, not to mention that seriously hampered vision can be fixed by glasses.


    anyways. i bit the troll and shouldnt have. i just think that it is unfortunate that one person's experience can lead them to making a giant assumption that EVERYONE is a bad driver
