  4. Re:Xconfigurator on Top Ten Linux Configuration Tools? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I like using XConfigurator
    You're right about not needing it lately. However it's been useful for notebook displays of uncommon resolution. (my 14" 1400x1050) Xconfigurator is the only way I know how to get it working properly.

    maybe the animation would be more believeable is the soundtrack was done by Aerosmith. [film: armageddon] This project looks like the next evolution of the EKG (Exo-Atmospheric kill Vehicle) Project.

  6. Re:Ok, thats great on How To Make Friends on the Telephone · · Score: 0

    yeah, I kinda get like this when balancing my checkbook. Of course I can do all of the calcultions on the back of a napkin, ...but if I don't have EXCEL fired up and ready to organize my monthly expenses I get irritated. sigh* what a looser am I.

  7. Social Engineering on How To Make Friends on the Telephone · · Score: 0

    The telephone has always been a useful tool to the tech savvy. Of course it helps to be nice on the telephone. Maybe you'd even get a date out of it?

    Mags I read in the store but wouldn't pay for:
    Max PC -- these guys are mostly idiots, but you occasionally pick up something.

    I've been disgusted with most mainstream PC mags as of late.
    anandtech.com
    tomshardware.com
    hardocp.co m
    is where I go for hardware related news.

  10. only 375Gb Formatted on Seagate Rolls Out 400 GB SATA Drives · · Score: 1

    I read in anandtech's forum that this drive is only 375Gb formatted to NTFS. therefore it would only be a .375Tb kinda gay sounding if you ask me.
    Just for the record, this drive has only 1 purpose, to be RAIDed out.

    Can't I just get a T-Shirt, and *SAY* I participated?

  12. Cometa FREE Wifi in my area on Cometa WiFi Hotspot Network To Shut Down · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We've just recently received FREE wifi via cometa at our local Barnes and Noble (ultra left-liberal book sellers). They've got a setup where they lease an IP to any MAC address for 2 hours per day. Great for sketchy p2p sessions w/ 1.8Mbit uploads.

  20. WORD dude on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    I'm floored to have a job. Friends are being given pink slips, and headed back to school for the holidays.

    If your company's got the dough to hand out a bobble head, THAT'S a good sign your company doesn't need to do layoffs.

  21. small business on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    Tovaris,
    You've got a special case. Peeps understand the trials and tribulations as a small firm. ...just don't be stupid and buy a company Hum-Vee or something. ...a small ISP in Flagstaff, AZ did that... as their customer service quality immediately dropped, I suspect some cut salaries were to blame. It pisses off the customers as well.

    Keep the 79 chevy pickup around. ...but forecast for long term growth.

  22. Re:Diversification of your educational base on Master of Software Engineering: CMU or Elsewhere? · · Score: 1

    I was lucky enough to go to an affordable excellent engineering college. I graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. ..however I almost opted to graduate with a second B.S. in Computer Science Engineering (C.S. + low level hardware + logic), I bailed 4 units shy of the minor.

    I encourage anyone looking for a good education to find a smaller school where the student teacher ratio is reasonable. ..not for the whole University, but for the college of engineering.

    [now working as a "professional"]
    I'm considering a masters as well. I'm having trouble deciding whether to go --> C.S. or Engineering. My heart and interest lies with both.

    Any suggestions on larger research universities that cater to working graduate students, like Stanford (C.S. focus) or UC Davis (Engineering focus)
    Umm oh yeah, my work should pay for it too ;-)
