  1. Next.... on Ask Larry Niven · · Score: 1

    I've read rumors that you would be writing another ringworld book in the future? Is the 'luck of Tela Brown' with us?

  2. Re:Mandatory overtime payment on Are Coders Exempt From California's Overtime Laws? · · Score: 1

    I appologize for misunderstanding your statement. Thanks for the astute reply.

  3. Re:Mandatory overtime payment on Are Coders Exempt From California's Overtime Laws? · · Score: 1

    Get Bent!!

    You give us shit for making $80k per year. Well you forget to take into consideration the in the silicon valley it costs like $2400 for a crummy 2 bedroom apartment. A house that would cost $130k back in my home town costs $625k here.

    Why do you fell that only the low paid workers are entitled to fair/legal work conditions? Loose the entitlement complex!

  4. Re:NOW I'M PISSED on DIRECTV Broadband Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    I'm digging really really deep... There it is, I found a sliver of sypothy. Excuse me if I find it difficult to feel bad for telemarketers who loose their jobs. (did find a sliver though)

  5. NOW I'M PISSED on DIRECTV Broadband Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    I want someone from directTv broadband to explain why I got a call TWO days ago trying to sell me directtv DSL? I didn't take them up on the offer but why are they selling to service to new people two days before they shutdown. BAHHH

  6. Not still operational!! on 50 Year Old Computer Still Going · · Score: 2, Informative

    The story states that it is still operational. If you follow the links, at the end of the the big write-up they ask a what would happen if someone tried to power it up. The reply was "probably catch fire".

  7. Re:Lies on Psst! Eight Bits Gets You "The Two Towers" In China · · Score: 3, Interesting

    About 3 months ago a friend of mine came home with a bunch of $1 DVDs from over there. One of them was th e two towers. It turned out to be an '80s movie called "The Sword and the Sorcerer". They even went to the trouble of superimposing the face of one of the characters on the big statues in FOTR!

    So much trouble for a buck!

  8. Here comes Hollywood.... on New Look at ADSL2 · · Score: 1

    Obviosly the ONLY possible use for a fast connection is to download copyrighted movies so the government should require each user to get a hand-written permission slip from a movie/record exec. Think I joke? Just wait....

  9. UUUU Linux? on Graphing Randomness in TCP Initial Sequence Numbers · · Score: 1

    Tester Seemed to forget about Linux. If he feels that Mac OS/9 or Unicos are more important to internet security then... hmmm

  10. Create on MP3 Trading service... on Online Marketing for an Indie Band? · · Score: 1

    and stick your song into the middle of any MP3 downloaded. OR... Tell their Moms.

  11. Re:Laser Turntable on Ripping Vinyl Via Your Scanner? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Did you see the price on these things! The LOW end one is $9500. If the music is only availabe on vynel then for $9500 I'm betting you could get the orignial band to come to your house and play into your computer!

  12. Guy who wrote this.... on Open Source Developed by Individuals, Not Large Groups · · Score: 0

    He obviosly is not an open source developer. Most projects in source forge limit the number of "DEVELOPERS", basically people with pure access to the source base. This is a good safty measure. I've submitted 10's of thousands of lines of code to various projects via the patch system. Many projects use this method as a primary submission mechanism instead of giving every one and their uncle access to write in CVS.

  13. Don't worry about 1600x1200 on 21.3" LCD Monitor Reviewed · · Score: 0

    I was worried when I got my new laptop which has a 15" 1600x1200 screen. I can't even stand that res on my 21" crt. It is awesome. LCDs are sooo much crisper that I love running at 1600x1200. It would be even easier for you at 21".

  14. Just don't!!!!! on The Culture of CD Burning · · Score: 0

    If they would like to individually prosecute each individual who illegally copies music or software, that's fine with me. They just had better not mess with my freedom to use the technology for legal perposes! Bah.

  15. Use for that Vanilla ICE CD... on Optical Cryptography · · Score: 0

    A double encryption scheme. Both parties mask the data with the 'noise' of a Vanilla iCE CD. Crypto 1: Noise Crypto 2: Any potential hackers are so annoyed by the music, they give up!
