  1. Re:Please clarify... on Saying No To Promotions Away From Tech? · · Score: 1

    There is currently no on call duty. Since we're 24x7 whoever is on shift is expected to handle any problems. They want to keep it 24x7, but move from 4-10's or 3-12.5 hour shifts with no oncall to 5-8's (1st, 2nd and 3rd each day) and on top of that oncall during the shift hours on your two days off. AKACT, I will be either at work or oncall as long as I remain in that position. Managers will be held accountable for any outages that occur on they shift (whether they're working or not.)

    I personally don't think that I'm a good leader. I tend to seek consensus rather than confrontation.

  3. Re:AI problem? on Choosing Better-Quality JPEG Images With Software? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh sure, it starts out innocently enough - pick the better image. Next thing you know Skynet's decided that it's the better LIFE-FORM.

  6. Replacement on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    %s/FROM/TO/g

    replaces every instance of FROM to TO in the document.

    % = every line. Drop that to just affect the current line
    g = every instance within the line. Drop that to change only the first occurrence in the line.

    also - use CTRL-v CTRL-m to get a newline - will look like ^M but match newlines.

  7. T-Ray? on T-Ray Camera Sees Through Clothes, Preserves Privacy · · Score: 1

  10. Need to watch those logical fallacies, folks on OLPC Lawsuit-Bringer Has Past Fraud Conviction · · Score: 5, Informative

    "The Boston Globe has up an article about LANCOR's lawsuit over the design of the OLPC's keyboard. 'Negroponte said the lawsuit is without merit, because OLPC uses a keyboard programming technique developed in 1996, long before the Nigerian patent was filed. The founder of Lagos Analysis Corp., Ade Oyegbola, was convicted of bank fraud in Boston in 1990 and served a year in prison. Oyegbola insists his Nigerian patent is legitimate and said he plans to file a copyright-infringement lawsuit against OLPC in an American court.'" From wikipedia on argumentum ad hominem: "...consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject." o wait, this is t3h int3rtub35 wh4t wuz i thinkin.... logic is t3h 5ux0r5.

  12. Whitelist via Ringer ID on A Whitelist for Phone Calls? · · Score: 1

    Set the default ringer to a silent mp3/wav/ogg/3gp/whatever. Set everyone in you address book to a "Custom Ringtone" (on my razr it's called Ringer ID) that is your regular ringtone.

  13. Sounds like vaporware on 256GB Geometrically Encoded Paper Storage Device · · Score: 1

    Copied from digg.com, where there is already a post indicating this is from a very unreliable source. Besides, we can't even get B&W OCR right.

  15. Feature idea: On a crewed ship? Play a 'shift'. on Interview with Star Trek Online's Design Director · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You know what might be nice? Assinged shifts on the crewed vessels. So say, once a week from 4:30P - 5:30P you should log on for your "shift", or risk an insubordiantion on your record. Of course, with the time-intensive nature of MMORPG's it may not be a healthy feature, (few will want the 'graveyard' shifts) but none the less interesting. IMHO...

  16. So... on RIAA Claims P2P Has Been Contained · · Score: 1

  17. Who the hell cares? on iTunes, One Billion Suckers Served? · · Score: 1

    You expect everything to last forever? You can't take it with you! And I'm sure your great-great grandkids aren't going to care that they won't get your precious copy of "My Humps" by Black Eyed Peas.

  19. Re:The real bombshell on Downloading Games Not Just For Pirates · · Score: 1

    The gluttony implied by complaints of having to wait "four fucking hours" for a video game should make you ashamed. Some people don't have medical care / food / a place to live, and another segment of the population can't wait four hours for a video game. If you happen to be an American, thanks. You've made me ashamed to be an American.

  20. Question on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What is the most tedious part of busting myths? I'm sure alot of the fun and games gets on camera, but what are we not seeing and why is it still important?

  21. Hmmmmm... on Warming Up Mars With Greenhouse Gases · · Score: 1

    I can TOTALly RECALL a plan to make Mars livable. But then again I might just be dreaming of the RED PLANET. (Or killer kung-fu guerrilla para-millitary robots from a planet near Mars)
