I love the Xmas lights idea. I've tried starting a small garden to help with food costs but I've got a nearly impossible insect problem in my yard. I've tried lots of insecticides but since I plan on eating this stuff I'd rather not carpet bomb them with chemicals.
For some reason, Google Updater refuses to download on my laptop (as does Windows Update, and I suspect they may be related, though I've spent hours trying to get them both to work with no joy).
It's pretty infuriating that I can not download software I need (Google Earth) because their stupid Updater refuses to work. There used to be a way around it, where you could download the GEarth installer directly, but I can't seem to find it.
Any ideas?

"Users will be able to connect to their virtual and fully functional Windows environments without any knowledge that the operating system and the applications are executing on the mainframe and not the desktop."
Yeah, except for the fact that they connect to something with remote desktop. Shouldn't that be the first clue they're not actually using the desktop?
This almost happened to me once, and oddly enough, in Economics as well. I refused to turn over my notes and the professor threatened to give me a poor grade (I was getting an A) or turn me in for disciplining. I went to the head of the department and complained and I think the professor's befavior stopped.
University of Nevada at Reno, ca. 2000.
I remember that, because I was an "incentivized reviewer" for Sony at the time.
I'm just sorry I hadn't gotten the chance to review any Belkin hardware for cash.
As most Slashdotters (I think that's a last name in Iceland) know, Belkin stuff is the worst of the worst and I would hesitate in recommending it to my worst enemy (although I would in the end).
However, if suitable baksheesh were involved, I'd be happy to sing Belkin's praises from the nearest mountaintop (which is pretty far away considering I live in southern Louisiana).
I came in to ask if there was anything better than NetStumbler's datedness. It's been on 0.4.0 for like five years.
I'll try InSSIDer. Any other suggestions?
Here's a test. Pick a subject that you are expert in, or even have a good passing knowledge of -- any subject, pick a few even. Go to the wikipedia page on that topic, and you will find inconsistencies, inaccuracies, conjecture, missing information and sometimes downright lies.
Yeah, unlike supercilious trolls such as yourself, some of us like to contribute our knowledge to the rest of the world by fixing poorly written articles, getting the facts straight and providing citations. That's the point of Wikipedia. As it grows, its accuracy and scope improves.
Every time some clown says Wikipedia is horribly inaccurate, I ask for an example. Show me where it says Charlemagne was born in 1972, or where it says that Abraham Lincoln invented the lightbulb. So what inaccuracy are you referring to? What downright lie?
The followup is, if you can show me an example, why is it still there? Why didn't you fix it?
I fucking am. Fuck these game publishers with their shitty products that don't work worth a damn--why would I pay for that abuse? These asshats are just like Ford or GM.
Indeed, the tab selector on the left wastes some real estate. It'd be nice if you could expand and collapse it...although I hardly ever switch to one of the other tabs I've created, and could do without it altogether and not notice.
I liked the new Gmail preview at first, but when I realized that any links in the email don't work (forcing you to go to Gmail proper to get any use out of embedded links--not a problem with the "old" style) my high opinion of it was severly tempered. Plus, you still can't do common tasks (like Archive) from the preview--a problem I felt sure they would fix. Emails viewed in the iGoogle preview remain annoyingly in your inbox until you go to Gmail to clean them out.
While some of my apps screwed up at first (for example, the local gas prices app, which uses a Google Maps box with an overlay, kept displaying my Astronomy Picture of the Day instead of the map) but they seem to be working okay today.
I'm not overly impressed, yet not overly disgusted. Overall I'd say the new format comes out slightly ahead...perhaps because I was a little bored with the old format.
There is some evidence that NASA et al has had astronauts have sex in space, all in the name of science, of course--so I think exoatmospheric porn has already been made. Personally, I doubt there would be enough traction to grind effectively without the use of straps or (interesting idea?) bungee cords. Although the money shots would be pretty cool: bukkake from across the room--er, module? C'mon, who wouldn't pay $20 to watch "catch the cumwad in your mouth from the other side of the Destiny module"? Besides--what else are future astronauts supposed to do on the multiyear journey to Mars? Play checkers?
Just imagine the inclusion of high doses of ecstasy in that environment. They could grow flawless crystals of MDMA in microgravity and chow down like it was MSG.

Jesus will be.

Not only no, but hell no.
Could you imagine a CD burner which takes 30ms per bit?
No, no I couldn't. Could you help visualize it for me?

I can't take anyone seriously who puts "truth" and a link to Fox news in the same signature.

When I voted, XENU was the #1 Write-in candidate. Classic.

I'm not going to pirate or buy this game
I fucking am. Fuck these game publishers with their shitty products that don't work worth a damn--why would I pay for that abuse? These asshats are just like Ford or GM.
You can't return an opened video game to a store. What rock have you been living under for the past, well, ever?
Indeed, I think everyone up to this post completely missed the point. Typical "experts."
Too bad the L-39 is Czech, not Russian.
Win. Thread is over.
