  1. MIT #1 my ass on MIT Robot Walks On Water · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can count more unemployed MIT grads in today's economy than hair on my head. No, I am not bald.

    It's articles like this pointing MIT #1 that forces so many employers to fear hiring these engineers nowadays. They are so smart that if they innovate something... they are considered a waste.

  2. IF SCO WINS... on SCO Says IBM is Beating Up on Them · · Score: 1

    I will sue the electric company until I own rights to the lightbulb. 8D

  3. Whoopie!!! on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 1

    So it now claims to support PDAs and vibrators... how many versions of window will M$ need to get it right.

    An even more stable winXP for home use would have been a better OS. Cause we know those damn patches ain't cutting it.

  4. M$ have you by the balls on Ernie Ball - Model For Open-Source Transition? · · Score: 1

    Until the unix world can manufacture...

    -a web browser better than IE.
    -an office suite that is solid and universally good within all flavors of unix
    -can run a real database commerically
    -1 and only 1 good interface

    Solaris, AIX, SGI, linux they can all do some well... but only M$ can do it ALL.

  5. Internal Firewall is nasty on Microsoft Worms Crash Ohio Nuke Plant, MD Trains · · Score: 1

    We had a breakin in my old company from within. Then the network admins and IT folks REALLY ramped up security internally.

    The result was a nasty secureID method which changed passwords every 30 seconds. Your password would synchronize against some solar server etc etc. The number of times you need that 2 lb. keychain to log into the unix systems drove people crazy. Eventually people just didn't log out.... leading to ANOTHER security hazard.

  6. Target Earth has best ending on Best Videogame Endings Discussed · · Score: 1

    If anyone has ever played (nevermind finish cause the game wasn't all that common) Target Earth, it has the best ending.

    For a no-game made by dreamworks not comprised of big name music composer on the genesis 16bit, this ending was insane.

    The music was superb as you are the last mech the leave this giant bosses body. You are walking out of the mech without a mech suit, some chics thinking about you at base. You fleet shows up...

    But the lighting is done in such a way that you know the war will never end.

  7. Nintendo games coming to PS2 and Xbox on The State of the Game Console Wars · · Score: 1

    Do you people realize that few companies have ever bounced back from a failure of a couple consoles.

    1.) Sega... failed SegaCD, 32X, Dreamcast. Result... Many sega games available to other consoles

    2.) Atari... failed later 8-bit systems, Jaguar. Result... Many atari exclusives like pitfall ended up on other systems.

    Guess what... nintendo is on track right about now. And it's good news to see metroid + fzero on ps2.

  8. FIRST POST!! on Power Outages Strike East Coast · · Score: 1

    Damn, if only my power was up, it would have gotten here in time.

  9. Ooh this is bad... on Supercomputers To Move To Specialization? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Last thing I need is a supercomputer that checks email at a high speed, and a separate computer that does wordprocessing even faster.

    I am one of those people with maxed out PCI cards, maxed out SCSI buses and everything jammed into one PC.

    Work, pr0n, email, /. all in one box.

  10. Novell makes no sense on Novell To Cease NetWare Development? · · Score: 1

    * You install windows, you install novell dir trees.
    * You install solaris, you install novell dir trees.

    From an architectural standpoint Novell is NOT an OS. It's a directory service like NIS, active directory. It's the only OS on the planet that requires another OS. lol

  11. This is debatable on The Career Programmer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I argue sometimes that corporations and 8 layers of politics are a bad place to design software.

    But it's infeasible to get the kind of resources like a tape library, a giant SAN devices or an expensive switch in your bedroom.

    At the end of the day open source programmers are happy, but they will always be limited by their own wallet.

  12. How many scientists... on Bent Fibers Put Networks At Risk · · Score: 1

    Does it take to discover bending cables are bad?

  13. Old lady... on Part Two: Technical Self-Employment For All · · Score: 4, Funny

    I helped this old lady on some freelance work way back with Corel wordperfect. Was that a mistake. Here are some questions I got...

    -Why didn't Corel wordperfect come with a pen?
    -Where do I buy ink if the typewriter runs out of ink?
    -If I press delete does that delete everything?
    -I heard it comes with a dictionary. Can I upgrade to an encyclopedia set?
    -Does this program open on sundays and saturdays?

  14. It's a conspiracy!! on Photoshop in Linux Thanks to Disney · · Score: 1

    Disney is using this opportunity to market Micky Mouse over the infamous linux penguin.

  15. My 10 year old cousin has more talents on The Effect of Pirated CDs · · Score: 1

    The other day my little cousin sat down and made some music for the fun of it. He's had piano lessons for about 2 years.

    After listening to his cheesy demo more and more.... I sadly came to realize this 10 year old made better music than half the main stream industry today.

    - No it's not mary had a little lamb.

  16. Cars today put me to sleep on Build-to-Order Cars? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Tired of looking at the same 8000 identical models of silver nissan ultimas, followed by red ford taurus.

    No wonder truck drivers fall asleep. It's like counting sheeps.

  17. Where do I start? on Indie Games - Fast, Cheap and Everywhere · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I would really like to be an indie game developer. It's there like a 3D engine for free for noobs like me?

  18. RIAA's on crack on The RIAA Hit List - A Pattern Emerges? · · Score: 0

    I download different songs
    as a different nick
    onto a different folder
    on different days
    using different computers
    running different OSes
    wearing different clothes
    under a different IP via dhcp.

    Come find me ~

  19. ABIT = unstable + feature-rich on ABIT's Secure IDE Motherboard · · Score: 0

    Back in 2000 Abit boards are very innovative with their ATA100 raid, insane number of ISA+PCI+AGP in one board. Damn I was jealous as hell and finally bought one too.

    I know someone who purchased the ABIT KA7-100 motherboard in 2000 also. I cannot tell you how many times this board has fried on us and been returned via warranty.

    Any real serious audience will want something more stable along the ASUS line.

  20. Back to Middle East on (Solar) Power to the Masses · · Score: 0

    Middle East has everything we'd want. Oil, wmd, sunshine.

  21. Robots can NEVER be a prostitute on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 0

    Nuff said.

  22. Real Bible on Digitized Gutenberg Bible Available · · Score: 2, Funny

    THank goodness for years I have been relying on dilbert comics as a religious alternative ~

  23. Free game: French Army on France Offers Grants For Game Makers · · Score: 3, Funny

    The game will be just like Americas Army. Except you control soldiers running away from Iraqi republic guards and pouring american beverage down the sewers for points.

  24. Damn hollywood on Robot Balloon Escapes In Britain · · Score: 1

    I knew terminator 3 wasn't that original. ;)

  25. Forget Innovation!!! on Netscape Founder Says Web Browsing Innovation Dead · · Score: 1

    You mean to tell me developers have nothing else to improve?

    1.) How about downloading 8 million different versions of java.

    2.) How about getting java and macromedia applets etc all working the same.

    3.) Damn html looks different on every browser nowadays.

    4.) How about stop pointing fingers at M$ and opera and fix your **** up, so we can have a decent alternative.
