    Yeah, that guy is a tool. I mean, TMPGEnc really sucks. It's so buggy and the translation to English is shoddy. Say, do you want a reg key for SF's Vegas Video?

    I always wanted to be in one of your faulking plays.

  4. OS X panel view on Redesigning The "Back" Button · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm not an OS X user. But I wish I were. I really like the panel view (or whatever it's called) in the file browser. With every click, it shifts the panels to the left, and adds another at the current location. This gives a great visual view of history and allows you to sort of back up to the last wrong turn and go in another direction. It kicks the ass of the MS tree view. Something like this would be great in a web browser.

    ...and this guy has a girlfriend who can make a mac out of gingerbread. Where does that leave me?

  6. A pack of smokes on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    Last year, the boss tosses me a pack of cigarettes and says, "Here, kid. Smoke up!"

  7. I'm off to file a patent form... on Using regexp's To Search IDS Data -- Patented · · Score: 1, Funny

    ...for the most widely used thing in the world. If an action can be patented, and it can, then I aim to patent masturbation - in all forms - male, female, mutual, etc. Everybody does it. Those who admit will have to pay royalties to me, and those who don't admit it will be sued because they are liars and are not paying royalties.

    1. patent masturbation
    2. hope porn sites exist on the internet
    3. wait...

    7. Profit!!!!!!!!


    Ahhhh. Now give me royalties.

  8. EA Sports NHL '97 on Facial Morphing Software/Techniques? · · Score: 1

    I remember NHL '97 allowed you to import images of faces to use when creating custom players for the game. It was great - it set up some key areas on the facial polygon that you could drag so that they were in the correct spot on the face model. The final result was like something out of The Neverending Story, but it was cool, and it surely will draw some ideas about the personality associated with the face.

  9. Need I remind you... on Company Gift Time Again? · · Score: 1

    ...that tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in America? As such, you shouldn't be worried about showing appreciation for your employees. Rather, they should be thankful to you that they have jobs. There are plenty of programmers out there that don't have jobs, or at least ones they can be proud of. For instance, I had to settle for jizmopper at the local nudie booth. With that, I say you give them all a wish list so that they know what gifts to buy for you.

  10. Re:Everglide Mousing Surface on Company Gift Time Again? · · Score: 1

    Sort of... except you don't need the company logo because in this case it's the mousepad itself that's important, not the fact that it's dotcom propaganda. If you've used an everglide, you'd understand.

  11. Hashish and Tequilla on Company Gift Time Again? · · Score: 3, Informative

    These are things that I would love to have, but don't want to buy for myself. Plus, if you're feeling down, there's nothing like two mental depressants to get your spirits up. "A surefire healer: Hashish and Tequilla"

  12. Everglide Mousing Surface on Company Gift Time Again? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How about an Everglide mousing surface? I have one at home and one at work. Anyone who's used them loves them. And their prices have dropped to about 12 bucks for the standard elliptical one.

  13. Re:Ignorance on Another Millionaire Spammer Story · · Score: 1

    Man, you just don't get it do you. This is a moral character we're dealing with here. From the article:

    "I don't do any porn or sexual messages," he said, citing a promise he made to his wife, Irmengard. Instead, he sends e-mail come-ons for things like online casinos, vacation promotions, mortgage refinancing and Internet pharmacies.

  14. Make use of the Hijackers on Ultimate Sleds? · · Score: 1

    If you live in the neighborhood where I grew up, then you surely have the crowd of fuckos who wear sweatpants all the time, not just when sledding. Many of them live "below the tracks." They learn early on in their winter-fun careers that it's not their role to have their own sleds, but rather to stand halfway down the hill and "hijack" those kids half their age whose parents actually bought stuff for their kids, rather than buying crack for themselves. So if your neighborhood doesn't have these 15 year old cock gobblers who make sledding miserable for the 10 year olds, perhaps you should go to wallmart and buy some in time for the snowfall.

    "...and if you plan on doing anything serious, you're going to be there for at least 8 years."

    True, unless you're talking about Computer Science. You can get by with 4 or 6 years there. But then again, having gotten my degree [emphasis mine, to sound like a cock] in Computer Engineering, Comp Sci isn't "anything serious." Neudge!

  18. How about Biology? on Advanced DIY Science for Students? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're a high school senior - about to graduate. Perhaps you could begin your carreer in biology with a minor in sociology. To get started in these fields, first put down the microscope. OK. Now you're ready to begin the experiment. You need sample subjects. Go meet some people. "Make friends" with them. By this, I mean talk to them, socialize with them, see how they act. That takes care of the sociology part. Now for the Biology part. Choose a someone in your sample population who happens to be of the opposite sex as yourself. Socialize more with this one than with the others. Do what it takes to get this one to want to socialize more with you. Continue this until it the socialization becomes much more than that of the other members of the sample population. Eventually, you will learn about biology via the anatomy of the opposite sex. Perhaps you'll even get to see boobies! (Or flying sperm, if you prefer.)

  20. A new sport on Sodium + Private Lake = Fun · · Score: 0

    Some people fish with a hook, line, and cut bait. Others use a net. Others still shock the water with electroded and wait for the stunned fish to float to the surface. And there's the minority who throw sodium into the water. I don't fish in any of these ways. I do a different kind of fishing - fishing for the common moronfish. It's known in some regions as /. readers more l33t than joo. But sometimes I catch a slightly different breed, the king moronfish, also known as the /. moderator. See, I post a comment where the first sentence is redundant, but the rest is new. The new part is completely inaccurate, acting as bait to catch the smart /. readers, so that they'll attack me for being dumb, or they'll be quick to point out my spelling errors, as that is, afterall, the ultamate way to judge one's intelligince. But by sheer luck, I catch a king moronfish who mods my commend down as redundant, because it was too lazy to read beyond the first punctuation mark.

  21. Why the pond blew up on Sodium + Private Lake = Fun · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I can't get to the link. Their cervix ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H server must have been near the lake when it exploded. As such, I'll explain why the lake blew up. You see, Sodium is a noble gas, making it highly reactive. Get it near water, midgets, or antique furniture and Bang-Woo! Just like eatin' beans!

  22. Vocational Agriculture on A Name for My Major? · · Score: 1

    Over the summer I was in a campground. There were lots of Canada Geese all over the place. Among them were lots of goslings. There was this one little engine-that-could gosling with a broken leg. "Jipeto," I called him. He was always trailing behind the rest, but his flock never left him behind. Then along came this car - a ghastly bright yellow pontiac sunfire. The car stopped and out got a couple of morons, a guy and a girl. Morons are easily identified by their moronic qualities, yeah? They begin to approach the young gosling, as if to pick it up. I yell, "Don't touch it!"
    "Why?" is the response I get.
    "If you touch it, you'll only be hurting it. There's nothing you can do for it."
    "It has a broken leg."
    "I'm well aware of that, but it's family is right there. They are caring for it - more than you have to offer. If you touch it, it will die. If you leave it, it _may_ die."
    At this point they got back into their car, the yellow pontiac sunfire, and drove closer to me. They stopped, and out stepped the fe-moron. She said, "I'm old enough to make my own decisions. I know what I'm doing. I'm a Vocational Agriculture major."
    I burst out laughing and said, "So you're a Occupational Hipnotherpist. How does that qualify you to work with wild animals. Especially given that any fool knows not to touch any wild animal, regardless of if you think you're doing the right thing?"

    The moral of the story: You have a Vocational Agriculture degree.

  25. Re:FlipDog on Honest Job Sites? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I guess I should give a little background on flipdog. Although they do have some job postings that are directly posted by companies, this is the minority of what you'll find there. FlipDog's real service comes in the fact that they scan companie's websites for job postings, cache the pages, and allow you to search and view these postings. They crawl the sites constantly and any time a job posting is added, changed, or removed this is updated on Flipdog. Because you are viewing a snapshot of the real posting, you can be sure you are applying for a real position (At least as sure as if you went directly to corporate sites). You can also set up search agents to email the current job postings to you pretty much daily.
