  1. Off to the pop machine... on Steel Bolt Hacking · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this process will work on ALL circular type locks? Another post here suggests you need to shake the lock a little.. with my luck the machine will tip over and kill me

    And furthermore.. through time space warp twists and turns, Marvin's brain actaully was the earth Mock II. Built after Earth I was blown up. According to Adams, Marvin asks the ultimate question to a matress (I think it's in the second book. Paraphrasing:
    "Do you want to know just how amazing smart I am and dumb you are?"
    "Sure!"
    "Pick a number, any number"
    "Uuummmmm 12?"
    "Wrong. See?"

  3. Easy answer: on Using Employee-Owned Technology in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Tell them to buy you a cell phone. That kills the "personal" part of the policy. I wouldn't pay to take work calls anyway.

    On the other side and closer to your original artical title. I don't support ANYTHING that Joe User brings in from home.

    "Say my kid just gave me this Palm 3 for Christmas, please hook it up and support it for me now."

    Yeah right. Nor do I accept personal laptops on my network, business card readers, USB cell phones, blaa blaa blaa. Personal? That's nice... bu-bye.

    Damn straight. I'd like to see how Linux will prevent it's software from being used this way. You MS haters have gone too far.

  9. Re:Anyone else having trouble with google? on Google Eyes New Email Service, Expansion · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I also get sites that come up saying "are you searching for foo? I like foo too. good luck finding foo. If you find good information about foo questions, let me know."

    Complete BS results. They seem to be getting worse and I'm not as thrilled with Google as I once was.

  10. Anyone else having trouble with google? on Google Eyes New Email Service, Expansion · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Seems like in the last few months, Google searches have turned up other "search engines" as a top result or 4 out of the top 5. So, as an example, I search for "foo" and most of the top results lead me to another (crappy) google like site with it's own results for "foo". The feeling I get from those sites is similiar to those crappy sites you end up on when mis-spelling a URL.

  11. Screw the stack of paper... ABOUT THE SAME PRICE? on Macintosh's 1984 Debut · · Score: 1

    I remember drolling over those things at the local Mac store... incredibly expensive. Still are relatively.

  12. I hope they get someone good on Inside the Lego Master Builder Search · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seems like I have witnessed the downfall of my only childhood toy (save a bike). Once legos involved hours of building.. stacking little peices together to form only the boat's haul. Now you get a boat and it comes with the haul peice, the mast peice and the rudder peice. Oh yeah the little figure with the 5'oclock shadow and eye-patch.

    Where's the imagination and ability to shift around that? I loose the freedom to go my own direction. all the set levels have gone this direction over the years and I miss the old 40 page manuals and endless posibilities you could do on your own after that.

  13. Wrong power button landmine on What is the Worst Tech Mistake You Ever Made? · · Score: 1

    It was a rack of servers and I hit the power button on the WRONG server. However, I noticed this while I was doing it and... I held it down knowing that if I released it, EVERYONE would loose their work (300 users I was on the file server not the backup domain controller machine) -Just like a landmine... pick your foot up and the bomb goes off. Too far from the phone, I stood there for 20 minutes before I could flag someone else down but they couldn't get into the room (locked and they can here me through the glass). They tracked someone else down 10 minutes later, and then they gave a 30, 20, 15, 10 and 5 minute warning before releasing me and the button. Of course, by the time this all happened, about 20 people got to stand there and laugh at me... I can't really move.... ugh.

  15. Re:I need to ask on The State Of The GTK+ File Selector · · Score: 1

    No offense but Slashdot has been an OSS/Linux-centric board from its inception

    Well, may be true but, I'm not a "fan" of MS. It's just what I know. Simply by saying 'MS still has X better IMHO' shouldn't earn me of anyone else a sour look. It's an OPINION. I'd say learn from other OPINIONs rather than attacking them/their preferance and perhaps you'll win them over. MS may not be open source but, their ideas are open to be learned from. Why would I want to care about what Linux offers if there's no seat at the table?

  16. Re:I really liked the original version better on The State Of The GTK+ File Selector · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It'd be terribly annoying if UI ideas were patented and we had to have a bunch of half-assed environments

    yeah. Every finger pointed is one less developing. *sigh*

    The goal is *NOT* to kill Microsoft Windows

    It's not? I dunno.. I have become more and more jaded against slashdot as of late. Most of my posts get modded down or I get bitched at for actually prefering MS. It's not really MS for me.. it's the applications and, well, I know it. I can identify with the tweaking coolness that linux is... for me that was once DOS. Granted Linux offers 10 times the coolness NOW but back then it was the best I had. Now I'm familiar and I feel like I'm on the freakin dark side. for me it's about getting it all to work togther. the most vocal part of the linux community seems out for blood. That attitude I get spooks me off and it's a crappy thing to do. I understand the goofing around but these guys are boarderline violent about it. I could be wrong but... I imagine its the same feeling the MS gave off back in the late 80s to mid 90s. i'm just rambling now...

  23. Too late on Pew Study Says RIAA Tactics Are Working · · Score: 1

    Sneaker net has taken over P2P. I thought I had a descent collection of 14,000 tracks when I started meeting people who also have descent collections at holiday parties. make that 70 or 80,000 tracks within a month ++.

    I think the damage is done and RIAA can do NOTHING about this. The network shall rebuild itself underground until new online methods occur. The rate of this method certainly exceeds previous options.
    While it may be true I end up with a ton of music I don't care about, I'll also be exposed to stuff I wouldn't have ever seen if it were my choice. Cometh the age of portable USB 2.0 drives and DVD burners. horay!

    A nuiscense to deal with, but less vulerable to every gaddamn worm ou there

    You know I loose all confidence in you folk who just bash MS with nothing to show for it. How come I have 500 XP machines on the network of which ZERO have been hit by "every gaddamn worm ou there". I don't/have not/see no need to run Linux so I won't bash your OS but lay off what I have to support while you obviously have no experince. You guys get worse every day. Earlier /. posts an article about time wasted patching MS software and you guys have a field day. I'd like to add up the negative energy you waste bashing MS and see how it pans out against you. I don't understand how Linux gets as far as is does with such a immature group of children. I'm turned off by you people. Personally I wouldn't switch because I don't want to be part of such a "community". If you guys want respect, I suggest you tone it down and stop throwing stones at a sinner while swearing up a storm. In MY eyes and certainly my Boss's eyes you're worse than Gates.
