  1. Re:As long as its just a patchcable.. on Bent Fibers Put Networks At Risk · · Score: 1

    Excellent post.

    One thing we've done to combat this is to make it an action item on every project (via a child change-record) to clean up the cable mess your project leaves behind.

    Yeah, we still have some legacy cable issues from before this was implemented, but everything since then has gone extremely well.

    I monitor what goes on (and under) my raised floor pretty religiously now, and I have to say things are looking really good!

  2. Re:I've got then MS9 on Gateway Portable MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    My biggest bitch is with their mini-disk players. It's very limiting, including having to 'check-out' files to the cd.

  3. Re:Fragile? on The Biggest and Baddest Backyard Roller Coaster · · Score: 1

    I still don't think I would trust it. With it sitting out in the elements, and being that weathered, I doubt you one could tell if there was dry-rot without experiencing it first-hand. And that would be a Bad Thing.

    I could have sworn that the Blade Runner movie came out in 1982.

  5. Fragile? on The Biggest and Baddest Backyard Roller Coaster · · Score: 1, Funny

    Is it just me, or does that wood look old as dirt?

  6. Re:When... on Sharp Zaurus SL-C750 (P)reviewed · · Score: 1

    Doh. Yes.

  7. Re:A couple of corrections on (Solar) Power to the Masses · · Score: 1

    So post your how-to (along with parts list and prices, of course) for all of us morons! :)

    "I prefer to think of the glass as too small."

    --I forget the source.

  9. Re:This is absurd on Cringely Proposes a Music Sharing Alternative · · Score: 1

    "Maybe if music weren't a multi-billion dollar business, true musicians would again gain prominence."

    Yeah. Then we could finally say goodbye to pop music.

  10. Re:one word: my.mp3.com on Cringely Proposes a Music Sharing Alternative · · Score: 1

    So if I own 1 share of Time Warner (becoming a shareholder) I should be able to download whatever music I want by that company, right?

    Heck, why not expand your idea to include hardware? Maybe I should buy a share of Intel, so I can get all of my future processors for free.

  11. Re:Missing the point on Cringely Proposes a Music Sharing Alternative · · Score: 1

    Excellent point...

    Imagine the implications if that really was the case! I could outfit my house with the best stuff for virtualy nothing, because I already own a piece of the company.

  12. Re:Usefullness on Missouri Wins American Solar Challenge · · Score: 1

    Interesting. The parent comment was made when there were only 7 other comments out there...but this one gets a 'redundant' mod. Thanks all.

  13. Usefullness on Missouri Wins American Solar Challenge · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So how will this technology be used in forthcoming products? Is there a value here?

  14. Re:Compression? on Next Wave Of Hard Drive Tech: Perpendicular Recording · · Score: 1

    Not many people do, with larger hard drives. Image degredation is typical with most compression schemes.

  15. Re:summary on Next Wave Of Hard Drive Tech: Perpendicular Recording · · Score: 1

    You might get more density if you lowered the font size on every document on your hard drive.

  16. Re:those numbers for water consumption come from.. on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 1

    I prefer Grampers.

  17. Re:Forgive on DVD Player With DVI Output · · Score: 1

    Um, yeah. If you RTFParentPost, you may read that he's saying that he doesn't need the digital out in order to make a perfect copy.

  18. Re:No sound! on Build Your Own Gauss Pistol · · Score: 1

    "...because the fucker may have friends (with weapons)."

    Or perhaps...witnesses.

    Too bad you can't 'throw' the sound of a convention gunpowder weapon so as to make it appear from another location. Hm. Perhaps some kind of simple reflector plate would do the trick...

  19. Re:This World or That One on Star Wars Galaxies Auctions Afoot · · Score: 1

    Step 5: No profit.

  20. Re:D'OH! on Marriage May Tame Genius · · Score: 1

    Yep, because those Morons sure do know what they're talking about...

    He's a wig? Really?

  22. Re:Stagnation on Digital Shoplifting From Bookstores? · · Score: 1

    As soon as you did not offer any kind of proof, I naturally assumed that you'd not be working in any kind of 'investigative' reporting capacity...or you'd have had your ducks lined up in a row from the get-go.

    And yes, you certaily do know things that I don't, like what you had for breakfast this morning. That certainly has no bearing on whether or not you're 'stronger' than me, and most certainly (at least in my life) does not give you any kind of real or perceeved advantage.

    The funny thing is that I could hyperlink you to my company's financial reports quite easily. I'm just wondering why your (assumption:) public company does not make that information available to you, as it seems that would make (or break) your point.

    But the bottom line is I just really don't much care.

    Well, maybe enough to call 'bullshit' but no more.

  23. Re:oooh on dB Drag Racing · · Score: 1

    I agree. It's kinda like having a big, car-shaped speaker. What's the point?

  24. Re:Crank It Up on dB Drag Racing · · Score: 1

    What if she just sang anyway? Ugh.

  25. Re:Theory? on Digital Shoplifting From Bookstores? · · Score: 1

    No I am not joking?

    If you make claims, you'd better be able to back them up with some facts. If you prefer not to prove what you're claiming, so be it.

    If you actually did work a length of time for the magazine industry, then you'd know that the basis for every story requires being able to prove your facts and cite your references.

    Except for fictional pieces, of course.
