    Speaking english certainly helps living here, but it's not required.


    Actually, for US Naturalization, you must have the ability to read, write, and speak English.

    from USCIS

            * a period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States;
            * residence in a particular USCIS District prior to filing;
            * an ability to read, write, and speak English;
            * a knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government;
            * good moral character;
            * attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution; and,
            * favorable disposition toward the United States.


    whether that's enforced or not is a different matter...

    Did you know that a male USB-B connector will fit into a RJ-11 jack? That was a fun one to troubleshoot over the phone.

  7. Many good points on How To Choose An Open Source CMS · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Another good resource for choosing an open source cms is this site. There, you can try most of the CMS offerings that are available.

    Also, I'm still pissed they havent added the option to empty the spam folder, yes I know it gets automagically deleted after 30 days, but I'd like to clear it out without having to go through 30 pages.


    30 pages? click on the Spam folder, click the "select all" option at the top of the list, then click the "delete forever" button. Not too hard.

    Maybe you're thinking of the EBow?

  10. Re:Batman on How the Batsuit Works · · Score: 1

    I agree, I've also just watched it. Christian Bale plays a mighty fine Batman. Then again, it's quite fitting for him to play the dark, brooding type; he does it well, and pulls it off for a third time. Additionally, Michael Caine was a great Alfred to Bale's Bruce Wayne/Batman.

    I've not read the comics, but have seen the movies. IMHO, Batman Begins is the best of the franchise. Well worth the price of admission. (I paid only $4 to watch it! :) )

  11. Hermaphrodism on Engineers Have More Sons, Nurses More Daughters · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So if a nurse mated with an engineer, is there more of a chance of hermaphrodism?

  12. Re:maybe I'm just a half-full kinda guy... on Microsoft Acquires RAV Antivirus · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We're (the company I work for) in the process of looking for a replacement for RAV since we got wind of the buyout. I've done a bit of looking around, and found Vexira. They have AV solutions for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Sendmail, Qmail, Postfix, and Exim. It seems to have a moderately priced liscensing scheme- $200/year for 6000 users and 200 domains for the Sendmail product- less expensive than RAV. They also offer a free trial on their products. If anyone's had experience (good or bad) with Vexira's products, please comment below

    Hey now! Just because this guy built his own soda fountain, it doesn't give you the right to infer that he's a jerk!

    of course, I didn't use it so much for spelling as I did to get it to pronounce dirty words :) This synth hack seems far more practical!

    Since we're going offtopic here, I want to mention how impressed I was with your appearance on TSS, moreso than Gary Coleman. Don't get me wrong, he did a good job, but you and Patrick killed it.

    Hmm... if everyone's going on vacation maybe we can get a show with you and Gary, if only for the opportunity to hear him say "whatchoo talkin' 'bout Wesley?"

    Keep up the good work, Wil

  19. Anyone else remember Stompers? on Pocket-Sized RC Cars Hit U.S. Soil · · Score: 1

    Somewhat OT, but a quick googling turned up this page about the old customizable motorized toy cars from the 80's. I remember family christmas gatherings where uncles and cousins brought in their "Stomper Kits" (tackleboxes full of wheels, gears, chassis, and other bits) and we'd have Stomper races and "tractor pulls" (one relative built a small trailer that he could add weights to). They didn't have the fancy remote control mechanism, but they sure were fun to play with! Perhaps these new toys can add a little fun to our next X-mas gathering :)
