  1. FINALLY! on IMAX Develops Movie Transfer Technology · · Score: 1

    Finally, we can see My Dinner with André in the full splendor of IMAX!!!!

  2. fun with physics on Gaming on the IMAX · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see this on an imax screen

  3. beer on Soda Machines for Geeks? · · Score: 1

    there's nothing like a $0.25 can of Busch at 10:00.

  4. spam on How Will WorldCom/UUNet Impact The Internet? · · Score: 1

    Wordcom claims that they handle 70% of all US email.

    70% of my inbox is spam.

    if no more Worldcom means that all that spam goes away, I'm fine with that.

  5. sql on General IT Books? · · Score: 2, Informative
    an excelent sql book is Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties: Advanced SQL Programming. it gives you an good idea of what is possible with sql: more than you ever knew, probably.

    (but you still need your vendor's documentation, because no one really implements standard sql correctly.)

  6. solutions on Simulator Sickness Cures? · · Score: 2, Informative
    games have become much more realistic, causing ... severe nausea. any updated tips on avoiding this problem?

    you have two options:

    1. throw up
    2. stop playing games that make you nauseated
  7. slashcode on Weblogs as Base for Knowledge Management Systems? · · Score: 1
    I'm joining a small startup that needs a knowledge management solution...

    you should use slashcode as soon as you figure out a way to patch it to reject idiotic 'Ask <small startup>'.

    please share your patch.

  8. wireless on Living the Computer Geek Lifestyle w/ a Significant Other? · · Score: 1
    how do the rest of you pursuade them that all the cables...

    that's impossible, so you don't: you use 802.11b.

    as for the ...servers and sky-high comms costs...

    you need to figure out a way to make them useful to her... if you've got an ADSL line, register a domain for her and set up a web site that she can maintain. if you've got mucho disk space, buy her a digital still/video camera.

  9. Re:no WTC Towers... on Build Your Own Cityscape · · Score: 1
    ...I guess model planes can get hijacked as well.

    agreed, this is not funny. I worked in the wtc (north tower, 9*th floor) and I know many, many people that died (instantly, I hope).

    the shitheadery that you demonstrate is currently the bane of my existance.

  10. Re:something tells me ... on Moving towards Mozilla 1.0 · · Score: 5, Funny
    that these missing mozilla hackers are, as we speak, being ruthlessly questioned under a single, dangling lightbulb ...[snip]

    romulan interegator: how many bugs do you see?

    missing mozillian: THERE ... ARE ... TWENTY ... THOUSAND ... BUGS!!!!

    romulan interegator: wrong, there are 20,001 bugs.

  11. obligitory view-source comment on Mozilla Branches For 1.0 RC1 · · Score: 2, Funny
