  1. AIBO! on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 1

    I want an AIBO! I figure its going to cost the same amount of money to get a cool "real" dog (ie. Italian Mastiff,etc), why not get one that my lazy ass doesnt have to clean up after.

  2. Roald Dahl and J.K. Rowling on Review: Harry Potter · · Score: 1

    I credit Roald Dahl for inspiring me to read this book. The similarities between Rowling's and Dahl's style is undeniable, but I commend Rowling for her own magic.

  3. Mental exercise on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 1

    CS is one of the hardest majors you'll find, but def. rewarding, financial and mentally. After going through intense courses about Automata and discrete math (whats so discrete about math?), your mind is just in kick ass shape. You can understand the most interesting and difficult concepts and you are able to analyze things that many just cant even begin to imagine. People will pay you to do the most mundane and easiest things. I charge $35/hour to teach HTML to elementary school kids. Its great, they have so much trust in me and they should. Stick with it, you will be a better geek if you do!

  4. Funny, Kuzweil and I were discussing this today on The Dangers of Nanotech · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was just reading The Age of Spiritual Machines by Ray Kurweil, and I ended with a brief discussion on nanotechnology and terrorism. He brings up points that are very important to consider. Nanotechnology can be one where it is self-controlling. It can self-replicate, but embedded within that a means of destroy the negative components. I do not have the book handy, but it is a good read and Kurzweil explains it so simply, my mom could understand it.

  5. If i had $600 on 10GB In A Linux PDA · · Score: 1

    If i had six hundred big ones, i would buy one because palms right now are pretty unnecessary. they dont do much and had very little space. 10gb's of pocket pleasure makes me a happy guy.

  6. America's Sweethearts on Fleeing Jurassic Park III · · Score: 1

    Hank Azaria, who plays a Spanish actor and Catherine Zeta-Jones' love interest. stole the show and is worth seeing because of him. For eye candy, you can peep Catherine-Zeta Jones and Julia Roberts. Worth the free movie pass I used to see this flick.

  7. Monkey man on What's the Best Online News Story You've Read Lately? · · Score: 1

    Monkey man stories were the greatest. I would tell people about it and they would look at me like i had three heads (nothing new). Drudge did a good job of reporting.
