  1. Favorite to look at . . . on Favorite Film Scientists? · · Score: 1

    Dr. Chistmas Jones (Denise Richards in The World is not Enough)

  2. So are we giving up on fuel cells already. on Tiny Aircraft Feeds Itself With Dead Flies · · Score: 1
    I guess I'll be running around trying to kill flies and bugs to power my laptop and cell phone instead.

  3. Re:Yeah, right. on How Can I Trust Firefox? · · Score: 1
    My views on the spyware prevention capabilities of Firefox.

    Since my last full re-install of XP 6 months ago I started using Firefox 100% of the time in place of IE. (except for windows updates) For the first time during that period I installed Ad-Aware and ran it just to double check how things were working. All it found was cookies!

    Being a fairly tech savy person as most slashdotters are, I was careful when using IE for web browsing in the past, but could run Ad-Aware every other week and find a handful of problems. Firefox so far has performed perfectly and I for one an very impressed.

  4. Golden Tee on State of the U.S. Arcade Industry 2004 · · Score: 2

    In todays bar arcade market, Golden Tee has got to be the number one money maker. Everywhere I go people are playing it, and I've also seen Golden Tee tournaments at many bars. I'm so addicted to it, and that mixed with alcohol can cause dollars to just keep feeding into the slot. (What ever happened to quarter operated machines anyway?) -Deuce

  5. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference??? on 'Mouse-Tronaughts' to Test Low-Gravity in Space · · Score: 1

    I've read a whole bunch of replies and would have thought someone would brought up something about them.

    In fact, they are the protrusions into our dimension of hyper-intellegent pan-dimensional beings. These beings are in fact responsible for the creation of the Earth.

    No wonder they want too explore space too!

  6. Re:The answer is: on Breaking the Gigapixel Barrier · · Score: 1

    Actually, I thought the answer was 42.

  7. OMG, Where's Sharky?!?!? on Saruman Completely Cut from 'Return of the King' · · Score: 1

    Am I not remembering properly, because I thought he was what the return to the Shire is all about.

    As long as they don't forget to make Aragorn king, then I guess they'll at least get one major plot component right.

  8. Re:What about people who don't live in the US? on The RIAA's Hit List Named · · Score: 1
    Doesn't UK stand for "Users of Kazaa?"

    Maybe the RIAA has it all wrong and needs to go pick on the UK peeps instead.

  9. The One and Only - www.k_lite.tk_Kazaa_Lite@Kazaa on The RIAA's Hit List Named · · Score: 1
    LOL!

    I'm sure there's only one person using that name. Good luck catching him / her / them.

    Now everyone shutup before the RIAA subpoenas /. to find out who all the people talking bad about them are.

  10. Re:Just waiting for the gate to open... on PyraMac Pyramid G4 Case Mod · · Score: 1

    I think the gate in his model pyramid is suposed to be that round spinning thing on the cpu. I wonder where it goes??? -2

  11. Watch out for "Deuce Plays the Kazoo.mp3" on Sen Hatch Would Like To Destroy Filetraders' PCs · · Score: 1
    If I find you downloading my copyrighted material without permission, it will be all over for you. I don't care if you love Kazoo music and can't find it anywhere else but online, I will so destroy your entire computer for it.

  12. Re:Is this even legal? on 12/7 and Overtime on a Salary? · · Score: 1, Informative
    I'd get ahold of the state labor board.

    I know in Wisconsin there are limits, but that also depends on your position with the company. For example, a standard salary employee is not required to work more than 45 hours a week without additional compensation. Management (managers and supervisors) is not held to this limit and could work 55-60 hour weeks without additional compensation.

    In the end it depends on the company you work for. I personally believe that 12 hour days 7 days a week is simply unacceptable. Even at 12 hour days 5 days a week I would expect a pretty hefty bonus, otherwise I'd tell them to stuff the job up their bum.

    Again, the best thing to do would be to find out the law, get a copy of it, and hand it to you boss.

  13. Bring Your UPS! on Hints for Planning a Network Gaming Marathon? · · Score: 0
    I've been to maybe a dozen LANs in my lifetime, and half of them had power problems. Try to get it situated ahead of time so everyone has a good spot to plug into. It gets bad when people start plugging in all over, and then 15 minutes later you find out 90% of the computers are pulling power through one poor suckers surge protector which is now getting too hot to touch.

    The worst place I've been was a diner hall in the back of a bar / bowling alley. It was loud from the bar + the dozens of computers kept blowing breakers all night (which downed stuff all over the building.) It was definitely not fun watching my poor computer reboot for most of the night.

  14. Re:Why are you complaining about fuel prices? on Increasing Fuel Mileage With Hydrogen? · · Score: 1

    Focus , , , LOL!

    Perhaps you should take a camaro or mustang for a spin some time. Then you'll realize what displacement is all about.

  15. can't wait Can't Wait CAN'T WAIT!!! on LOTR: The Two Towers · · Score: 1

    I've been bouncing in my chair all day waiting for my turn to go see it tonight. I don't mind the spoilers and reviews and everything else, since reading the books many times is probably the biggest spoiler around for this movie :) btw, I can't wait!

  16. Makes a great piggy bank. on Death to the 3.5" Floppy? · · Score: 1

    Working as a PC tech has shown me that floppies are good for storing re-written data. And when you no longer need the drive for that (or your kids get at the computer) you can use the drive as a coin bank. :)

  17. Gimme dawg's email... on Rep. Bill Jones Thinks Spam is "Innovative" · · Score: 1

    Gimme dawg's email address and I'll use it when I post to newsgroups:)

    We'll see how long Bill likes Spam after that.

    hehehe (evil laugh)
