  1. Re:Well, they're a good indicator of intelligence on Are Brain Teasers Good Hiring Criteria? · · Score: 1

    I agree. But I would prefer a puzzle to questions like "where do you see yourself in 5 years" and "what are your goals". I want to answer "My goal is to get hired. Why else would I answer such stupid questions?"

    My standard answer to the five year question: "Complaining to myself about having to put together your performance appraisal."

    Most nerds will never understand this...it's a lot easier to colonize another planet than it is to get people to stop fucking.

    I don't know about you, but I like when "the boss" can call the support number, rather than mine, when I'm on vacation.

  15. Re:Beyond the Dark Portal on World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Mages have spells that rain down ice (like "Blizzard" in Warcraft II) and change enemies into sheep (just like "Polymorph" in Warcraft II).

    For some unfathomable reason, they decided to change the names of these spells to "Blizzard" and "Polymorph", respectively, when they put them in World of Warcraft.

  18. Re:This may be redundant, but. . . on Gaiman and Whedon Discuss the Rise of the Geek · · Score: 1

    I didn't watch Firefly when it originally aired for two reasons: 1) It was never on when they said it was supposed to be, and 2) The previews showed scenes that, out of context, looked stupid -- they showed just about every "sexy" scene edited together with out-of-place dialog. That completely turned me off. I can see how the current trailers would have a similar effect. But having seen the whole series now, the trailers are pretty good.

  19. Re:And here's the answer of an amarok developer on Top 8 Reasons HCI is in its Stone Age · · Score: 1

    You're almost right. What it does is move the pointer a few pixels up-and-right (assuming your bar's in the default position) when you click. I have a large number of quick launch icons, so I've made my non-hiding toolbar is twice as tall. When I click in the lower-left corner the pointer moves but the Start menu does not open.
