  1. Re:i'd miss the white noise... on Building the Ultimate Silent PC · · Score: 2

    but the whole point it that it _isn't_ a problem. i seriously think i would have trouble sleeping at night if i couldn't hear the constant whirring from the other room.

    plus the little filters in the front of my case strain all kinds of garbage out of the air.

    currently my computer sounds like a shopvac that is running all the time. without that noise, how would i be able to sleep at night?

    Ice fishing?
    I can't imagine that those little huts on the frozen lakes take up that much space though.

  4. good idea, but... on Obtaining Shell Access via AIM? · · Score: 2

    What happens when some jackass warns your IM Name up to 100? Then they cannot respond for quite some time.

    <ramble>
    For awhile whenever someone would leave their computer unlocked with AIM open here at work, we would send some messages to theirself(themself?) and then warn their own screenname. We would do this until they reached 100% or the person was heard returning.

    This one time I took a screenshot of my desktop with AIM running and set it as my desktop image. I left my computer purposely leaving it unlocked and returned to find a coworker clicking his fingers off.

    "Dude, your AIM is fucked up!"

    After I told him what I did we all had a good laugh. Needless to say, we all use MSN now.

    Maybe you could use email, or SMS, or ICQ?

    hehe, I'm selling a car from the same year as that UnixPC. The amazing thing is that it has only crashed once in that period of time (it was the deer's fault, i swear), talk about stable. It still runs great, just like your UnixPC. 110HP ought be enough for anybody.

    how easy would it be to get one of those through customs/airports?

    Apples don't go well with nachos either. You'd have to be some kind of fruit that's a little more Hispanic to go to something like that. Like Ricky Martin.

    Until we can buy these tearless onions, one tip (I've been told, I've never tried it) is that you can put a piece of bread in your mouth while you cut them. Or you could just gouge your eyes out of your sockets.
    As far as getting rid of the hair on your chest caused by onions:

    >like 'piss off you little bastard'.

    I don't know about popping a message, but you could have fun with Slap:

    Slap - If you're like me you run firewall software that tells you when someone tries to access your system. Sometimes I respond with a few packets of my own just to let them know that I am paying attention. I wrote Slap to make responding to these access attempts easier and more entertaining. Just enter the IP address of the person you wish to slap and click on the Slap button. The program will attempt to access all the ports in the list and send them a packet with a personal message. (The default message is 'Leave Me Alone!') Slap integrates with Black Ice and Zone Alarm and can use information received from these software firewalls to "Auto Slap" intruders and add their attacks to your list of responses. --Here is a cool Wav file to use with this.

  23. Re:Game? me too! me too! on GameToo Much...... And Die! · · Score: 2

    The car was owned in Florida for the first 10 years of its life. It has been kept in upstate NY for the rest of the time. The studded tires are a must because the car is RWD, and we get much snow and ice up here. They use plows and salt to get rid of most of the snow and ice, but usually only on the main roads. I found out recently that there is Zinc in the body panels of some Volvo's which explains why there is very little rust. (and also why the average lifespan of a Volvo is over 18 years)
