    He retired at the end of last season. His son, Brandon, is taking over seat duties for the 2003 season.

  2. Re:Go work for an auto manufacturer on CAE Tools for Car Performance Modifications? · · Score: 1

    Just a clarification in case someone is searching for the excellent books suggested above; Race Car Vehicle Dynamics was written by William F. Milliken and Douglas L. Milliken. I believe Douglas participates in one of the bicycling Usenet groups.

  3. == Apple's "Software Base Station" on First, WinModems. Now, WinWiFi. · · Score: 3, Informative

    This sounds suspiciously like the "Software Base Station" available on Macintoshes for a number of years now (surprise, surprise!) It allows you to use a computer with an AirPort card to act as a Base Station for other computers with AirPort cards, instead of spending the $250 to buy a dedicated one.

  4. Some more they missed... on 50 Least Influential Movies · · Score: 1

    I'm suprised to find Transylvania 6-5000 didn't make the
    Top 50. I actually saw this one in the theater. All I remember
    is that it was a comedy/monster movie, and it had Ed Begley, Jr. as
    either a monster or a mad scientist. I think it also had a number
    of members of the cast of SCTV (or was it Fridays?) in it. I think
    I actually walked out of this movie when I was a teenager.

    Another movie that I considered walking out on was yet another
    SCTV cast-member vehicle; Armed & Dangerous. This one cast
    John Candy and Eugene Levy as bumbling security guards. I think
    they probably got involved in breaking up some big heist, through
    some wacky hijinks, but I can't really remember.

    Of course, you could probably make an entire list of Least
    Influential Movies from a combination of SCTV and SNL cast vehicles.
    These are just the ones that scarred me as a teenager.
    I never saw Supergirl.

  5. Missed one! on Spoonful of Quickies · · Score: 1

    Either that, or maybe they couldn't decide whether "A child was graphically incinerated by igniting his anal wind" would be considered suicide. And they're complaining about burning bodies in Hell. You just can't please some people.
    And you know this person (these people?) laughed at least once. C'mon...at least once. Please?

  6. Re:Flame-baiting on The Metcalfe-Peterely Fun Continues · · Score: 1

    This is a really cynical thought, but the expected flames from Linux users is so cliche, the columnists in question wouldn't even need to get any flaming e-mail to claim that they had received it. So their initial article guarantees a follow-up no matter what, at this point.
    Another thing that I've noticed is that they are starting to use "Slashdot reader" in place of "Linux user" if they want to seem really hip and up-to-date.
