  1. Not joking, but... on 1001 Islamic Inventions · · Score: 1

    Where is the Suicide Bomber?

    Unfortunately, this has become a very effective weapon during our lifetime...

  2. Re:Remember its just a tool... on Laptops Required for Freshmen · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If a teacher posts their notes in powerpoint format, I like to have the laptop with me to add my own notes to their slides. Other than that, it's mostly a distraction...

  3. Re:Orange badges: are they still called "dash tras on Orange Badge Culture At Microsoft · · Score: 1

    "A friend of mine used to work there (went from Orange to Blue badge) said that there were a number of full timers who completely looked down on the contactors. They would ignore thier e-mails, not co-operate with them and brush it off since the temps were just "dash trash". If this is still happens and full time employees still get away with it, they could use a support forum or two..."

    Nice attitudes...

    Maybe the full timers were afraid that a contractor would take their job?

  4. Re:Bankruptcy or Public Service on Where Do All of the Old Programmers Go? · · Score: 1

    He probably meant that most H1B workers are "yes men" when the boss says "Can you work overtime tonight and this weekend too?"...

  5. Re:Repairs... on Steam Hybrid Car from BMW · · Score: 1

    At least with BMW leasing, they come with a great warranty. I've had my car for about 3 years and have not paid a single cent for a repair (I've had a few). So with a new, leased BMW, you don't need to anywhere else, except to the dealership for repairs.

  6. Re:Downsite? on Steam Hybrid Car from BMW · · Score: 1

    And the additional weight.

    But it sounds like a great idea, I'd love to see how it would effect the cost for each new car.

  7. Re:Permission? on After-hours Fun with Capacitors at Work? · · Score: 1

    How happy do you think your boss would be if you broke an expensive piece of equipment because you were working on a "homebrew" project?

    And why do you want to stay at work any longer than you have to?

  8. Blogging for the Mets... on Columnist Turned Accidental Baseball Blogger · · Score: 1

    Is better than blogging for a team like the Royals or Pirates. Their season is over around June. At least the Mets were in contention until August, have exciting players and play in NY.

  9. Re:It works because.... on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 1

    Yes, the hull is very capable of emitting sounds. They are effectively used in active and passive detection.

    They are covered with a polyurethane to protect the hydrophones.

  10. Re:He is a manager - what do you expect? on Uneducated IT Managers, and How to Deal? · · Score: 1

    In a perfect world, he would have tech skills, but he doesn't. So he manages.

    He manages because he actual has leadership and social skills. Managers are there to MANAGE, not to design systems and solve tech problems.

    The goal of a manager is to underspend, motivate their team to go the extra mile and always deliver what's promised, on time.

  11. Re: Deltron 3030 on Nerdcore Rap In The Press · · Score: 1

    Considering that I'm not a modern rap fan, I still dig Deltron3030 (Hence my handle: Shant3030). It's just good music. Well written, produced and delivered. Del's monotone voice makes his lyrics very understandable and on Deltron3030, the words are poetry.

    Dan the Automator has an album w/ Kool Keith (I believe its called "A Much Better Tomorrow"). It's awesome. He's got some instrumentals on it as well as great tunes with Kool Keith. One song is a rap about cartoons called " Cartoon Capers".
    Check it out if you haven't already.

    Send me an email at shantm@gmail.com. I've got some info I want to pass along to you.

    Deltron 3030 - Virus Lyrics

    * a.k.a. Del the Funky Homosapien

    I wanna devise a virus
    To bring dire straits to your environment
    Crush your corporations with a mild touch
    Trash your whole computer system and revert you to papyrus
    I want to make a super virus
    Strong enough to cause blackouts in every single metropolis
    Cuz they dont wanna unify us
    So f**k it total anarchy
    Can't nobody stop us

    You see late in the evening
    F**ked up on my computer and my mind starts roaming
    I create like a heathen
    The first cycles of this virus I can send through a modem
    Infiltration hits your station
    No microsoft or enhanced dos will impede
    Society thinks thier safe when
    Bingo! harddrive crashes from the rendering
    Alot of hackers tryed virus's before
    Vaporize your text like so much white out
    I want it where a file replication is a chore
    Lights out shut down the entire whitehouse
    I dont want just a bug that could be corrected
    Im erecting immaculate design
    Break the nation down section by section
    Even to the greatest minds its impossible to find

    I wanna devise a virus
    to bring dire straits to your environment
    crush your corporations with a mild touch
    trash your whole computer system and revert you to papyrus

    I want to develop a super virus

    Better by far then that old y 2 k
    This 3030 the time of global unification break right through
    they
    terminals, burn em all
    Slaves to silicon
    Curupt politicians with leaders and thier keywords
    F.B.I and spys stealin bombs
    Decipitate thier plans in thier face and catch the fever
    Everybody loot the stores get your caned goods
    Even space stations are having a hard time
    Beast keeepers seek to take our manhood
    Which results in the form of global aparthied
    Ghettos are trash dumps with gas pumps
    Exploding and burnt out since before the great union
    The last punks walk around like masked monks
    Ready to manipulate the data base and break through em
    Human rights come in a hudreth place
    Mass production has always been number one
    New Earth has become a repungnent place
    So its time to spread the fear and the thunder some

    I wanna devise a virus
    to bring dire straits to your environment
    crush your corporations with a mild touch
    trash your whole computer system and revert you to papyrus

    I wanna devise a virus
    to bring dire straits to your environment
    crush your corporations with a mild touch
    trash your whole computer system and revert you to papyrus

  15. Finally! on What The Dormouse Said · · Score: 1

    I've always been intrigued about the whole drug culture of the 60's and the birth of the PC.

    Good question....

    When I was growing up, Canseco was my idol. I had all his baseball cards, jerseys, posters, etc.

    It's kind of sad to hear he was juiced, but oh well...

  18. So? on Google Adds News Personalization · · Score: 1

    Whats the point? They still give me crappy sports stories on English Soccer and Indian cricket.

    Let me customize where I get the news from, then I'll be happy. Choosing how many stories I'd want to display just isn't enough.

    The score to last week's Jets/Steelers game... could have made a killing in Vegas!!!!

  23. ESPN's effect on sports... on In Depth Reactions to EA / ESPN Deal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ESPN has destroyed sports, from the way they are anazlyed, viewed and even played.

    Take the NBA for instance. The game has changed and become a league where players are more concerned with getting on SportsCenter, than actually playing well and winning. Being on SportsCenter, probably means you made some amazing dunk and therefore will be getting notoriety for a quiet inconsequently part of the game.

    On the analysis front, ESPN does a great job of injecting meaningless storylines into games. They over analyze sports, bring up meaningless statistics and really loose focus on the most important part of sports, the actual athletic contest.

    This a terrible move for the future of sports games. ESPN will undoubtedly bash sports fans over the head with overblown tie-ins and advertisements.

    For someone who loves sports and video games, I'm saddened by this corporate sponsorship.

    Hmm... thats false.

    Pick up any trade magazine and 99% of the time, the ad on the inside front cover is a Microsoft ad.
