  1. wtf on Wired on Autism in the Valley · · Score: 0

    "Pokémon must have been invented by a team of Japanese engineers with Asperger."

    this must be the stupidest thing i've ever read in my entire life.

  2. and... on Andromeda To Become Less Complex? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    in other news today,
    the makers of friends decided that it would change the plot to sci-fi, where joey tries to save jennifer from the evil shopping mall aliens.
    also,
    seinfeld recently announced it would rekindle taping of episodes, only that the show will now be a drama

  3. the real model... on Would You Pay A Penny Per Page? · · Score: 0

    would be one in which companies pay us, the readers, $0.01 per page view. Without us, who would read their articles and view their pages? That way, horrible writers can still have an audience.

  4. i can't wait til on TV Networks Sue ReplayTV · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    someone just needs to sue realplayer for making such a piece of crap player.
    their shitty software truly endagers consumers far and wide.

  5. beef on Wood PCs For A Nepalese School · · Score: 1

    how about beef computers for Indian village schools!!?

  6. the best way to get the best sound on What Sounds Better, MP3 or Ogg? · · Score: 1

    Usually I put my CDs in my stereo system, and play them while recording through the microphone on my computer. I find that I get a far richer and livelier sound this way. While I usually try and record a whole albulm to a single .wav file, I find that this has been eating away my harddrive space. As a result, I usually follow a five-step process which gives me the best size / quality ratio.
    1) Compress to RealMedia
    2) Decompress to .wav
    3) Recompress to MP3
    4) Steganographically hide these MP3 files in my pr0n (so nobody finds those Creed albulms I ripped) (optional)
    5) Zip, then Stuff-it

    That's it! Now you too know the secret to getting the highest quality rips from all your musics!
    Enjoy!!

  7. Re:Good texts for learning Scheme? on Ask Kent M. Pitman About Lisp, Scheme And More · · Score: 1

    Here at UT we're using Concrete Abstractions as well, the author is Hailperin, Kaiser, and Knight et al.

  8. Re:Touchscreen bad on In Search of the Best Programmable Universal Remote? · · Score: 1

    the answer to this is to have force-feedback lcd touchscreen remotes. thus we have the flexibility of the lcd, and the tactile feedback of the oldstyle remotes.

    Yea, you didn't know? Here's a picture of the lil bugger.

  12. yeps on Extreme Telecommuting · · Score: 1

    a common practice in india is for a company in india to send someone to the US to create a US "presence" which is usually maintained by one person. Then, after US clients are enlisted, the US presence sends all the work back to India, where it is completed and sent back to US, all without the knowledge of the hiring company.

  17. what a dumby on A Visual Comparison Between XP And Mandrake · · Score: 1

    'XP chose my icons for me. I ended up as a guitar, and my wife was a frog...Microsoft has managed to piss off my wife by making her default to a frog icon and has now nearly completely crossed over to the dark side of the "I Hate Bill Gates" club.' Obviously, this guy cannot be reasonably competent. First, he's proficient with Linux Mandrake. Second, he can't figure out how to change his icon in WinXP. If he figured it out for Mandrake, how the hell could he not figure it out in WinXP??? It only takes half the amount of braincells to do anything in it. I pity these people.

  18. LEET on Are High-End CPUs Worth The Money? · · Score: 1

    everyone knows that you need an Athlon 1.4GHz processor if you want to be 1337. Of course, 3v3ry0n3 isn't 1337 l1ke m3.

  19. only 50-60mph on Pulse Jet Go-kart · · Score: 1

    Its interesting to note that this thing is only capable of 50-60mph. While there's undoubtedly room for improvement, current normally powered combustion engines can assuredly match this speed. An interesting aspect of this would be to add wings, increase thrust, and improve aerodynamics... The first flying go-kart!

  20. at&T sucks a monkey nut on Comcast Bidding To Buy AT&T's Cable-Modem Unit · · Score: 1

    i dunno about you guys but at&t sucks a fat one does anyone see their recent price increases as kinda unfair? i mean, from 40 to 45 bucks. they're just trying to increase the price to make fatter margins while leaving many out of the boat. and they cap upload speeds (bah) AND they dont even allow us to run simple web services. if they dont let us do anything, what ARE we paying for??

  21. turkey on Starship Troopers: Exoskeletons and Translators · · Score: 1

    one word: beowulf cluster

  22. gotta give ms credit man on Casinos Hit the Data Jackpot · · Score: 1

    i know this is gonna get me flamed but its a risk i'm willing to take. after so much bashing of MS gotta give em some credit ... sql server has come along way and its easy to use too. while there's no doubting you can get better performance in those hand tweaked *nix based solutions microsoft works!
