  1. You've still got an office? on COMDEX Opens with Smallest Attendance Ever · · Score: 1

    Title says it all, unfortunately.

  2. Re:No, you can't get MTV a la cart, read it again. on Cable TV A La Carte? · · Score: 1
    Well, they're definition of "local" may not quite jive with yours. In western Nebraska, for instance, Denver is "local."

    Of course, nothing happens out here anyway, so who needs local channels?

  3. Re:Somewhat OT: Cameras don't scare bullies on Turning a Blind Eye to Big Brother · · Score: 1
    Cameras are not intended to be deterrents. They are there to aid in prosecution.

    Whether this is the right strategy is a different question.

  4. I'm going to be a firefighter! on Careers After Tech? · · Score: 1

    No, really. I'm taking the test next week.

  5. Re:Military on Careers After Tech? · · Score: 1

    You forgot the getting shot at.

  6. Re:I actually thought it was mostly good on Firefly Premieres Tonight · · Score: 1

    He didn't see them, and said so during the initial questioning.

  7. Re:The Biggest Problem... on David Brin on "Attack of the Clones" · · Score: 1

    I only see 3 or 4 movies per year; Episode 3 will not be among them. And of course, as such a HUGE fan of movies, you are obviously capable of discerning a good one from a bad one.

  8. Re:As a sailor... on Billionaire Boys Cup (America's Cup 2003) · · Score: 1
    One design races...that's an actual sport, there...

    All this offshore stuff is more about the machine than the man, and is therefore very boring.

  9. Re:A well-written article on Copland/Gershwin vs. NeXT · · Score: 1
    Just for the record: I lost my job this week, and my having this attitude was the primary reason they let me go. Use at your own risk, and all.

    I was right, though, and someday they'll realize it.

    Anybody need a project manager with a backbone?

  10. Re:Solution! on 2002 ICFP Programming Contest · · Score: 1
    I took the Data Processing test at an academic contest one year in high school. They asked us to write an algorithm that converted decimal to Hex. Except the examples they used were converting decimal to binary. So I wrote the decimal-binary conversion, assuming it was a typo. I got third place.

    The next year, I took the test again. The same question was on it. This time, I pointed out that Hex was not binary, then wrote both algorithms. I won.

    I still have no idea whether it was a typo, or a trick question.

  11. Re:Same news, different day . . . on Apple Uses DMCA to Halt DVD burning · · Score: 1
    Actually, they can even use an Apple product: DVD Studio Pro. But it ain't free.

    Using the DMCA here is kinda lame, though.

  12. Re:Like we care.... on KPIG is Back - By Subscription Only · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Actually, KPIG is not homogeneous crap. That's why it's important that it's back online.

    Anyway, the issue is not that they're back so much as THIS IS WHAT THEY HAD TO DO to be back. Be suitably offended.

    Lastly WE are not against anything. Remember that. You do not speak for me.

  13. Re:how many HR managers care? on Distance Education - Pros and Cons? · · Score: 1

    I have gotten my last two jobs PRIMARILY because I graduated from the school I graduated from, not because I had any skills, 'cause I didn't, at least not in the field I was going into.

  14. Re:Operating? on On EBay: Shuttle Flight Deck Simulator · · Score: 2, Funny
    It's actually more functional than a lot of the ship simulators I learned on in the Navy.

    Want really lame? Try operating the "simulator" you just drew on the chalkboard.

  15. Re:Define Utopia on Slashback: Pop-Ups, Books, Qmail · · Score: 1

    You know, I've tried to read that book like six times. I get a hundred pages in and my head hurts so much I slide it back under my bed for another six months.

  16. Re:good luck on HyShot Scramjet Test Declared a Success · · Score: 1
    Am I right? No.

    The "sonic boom" is the sound of the supersonic plane's shock wave as it passes along the ground. This shock wave is present throughout the time the plane is supersonic.

  17. Re:Questions... on Ask Alton Brown How Food+Heat=Cooking · · Score: 1

    Food 911 had a good show on this...

  18. Not just PS3...it's also for the new VIAO on Playstation 3 CPU Almost Finished? · · Score: 1

    Of course, this will probably be the same product by then. You didn't think Sony was going to let Microsoft push them around any longer than they had to, did you?

  19. Re:Fictional blog community on Narrative and Weblogs: the Blognovel · · Score: 1

    This is a pretty good idea. It'd be almost impossible to do live, though, due to the amount of planning involved. Something else I just thought about: you would be sure to have links from blogs outside "your" community. It would be quite interesting to see the effect your characters have on those works.

  20. Re:I don't get it. on Narrative and Weblogs: the Blognovel · · Score: 1

    Because he's a writer, not an animator.

  21. Re:Very similar concept to Memento on Narrative and Weblogs: the Blognovel · · Score: 1

    Except that Memento relied on the backwards flow to tell the story. If you watched each scene in the right order, it would have been a pretty dumb movie. He's proposing more of a "random-access" story.

  22. Re:As seen on the Discovery channel on Pencigraphy: Image Composites from Video · · Score: 1

    I don't see how this would help stenography. I'm sure it has applications in steganography, however.

  23. Re:Problems on Pencigraphy: Image Composites from Video · · Score: 1

    I think the point of this technique is to correct for this unwanted stereo effect. Of course, I won't know 'till I read the article, and who does that?

  24. Re:Even the RIAA wont let this stand. . . on Broadcasters Appeal Royalty Ruling · · Score: 1

    MTV plays music? I thought all they had were commercials...

  25. Hell yeah! on Liquid Audio Sues In Pitiful Attempt to Appear Relevant · · Score: 1

    Finally. Joke code posted on Slashdot that I can read!
