    A book about AutoCAD??? RTFM.

  5. Re:What do they want to hear? on How To Talk To Aliens · · Score: 1

    Exactly... Maybe the counter-analogy is: Are you interested in a tree's attempts to communicate?

  6. What pain and discomfort? on RollerMouse Aims to Replace the Traditional Mouse · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I sit at the computer no less than 40 hours per week, sometimes 12 hours in a day. I use the mouse very frequently and have never had any of these problems. Are they trying to create a market where none exists, or do some people really get a sore wrist from mousing?

    It installs WINE.

  8. When to quit? on When Should You Quit Your Job? · · Score: 1

  10. Re:Yeah, am I in the wrong place? on The Death of the Music CD · · Score: 1

    In that case the word is 'media', not format. Let's not allow users and marketers to change the meaning of words which have well-known technical definitions...

    The smell of VICTORY.

  12. game design books on A Theory of Fun for Game Design · · Score: 3, Insightful

    aren't written for gamers. They are for gamne designers. Just because you like driving, that doesn't mean you can design a car, does it?

  13. Re:This should be exciting. on Sony Announces PSP Launch Date · · Score: 1

    That is just market-speak. All it means is that you can compile C++ code for it.

    Lesbians?

  16. Re:peoplesoft on Oracle Dumps PeopleSoft Employees · · Score: 2, Informative

    At the University of Florida, "PeopleSoft" has become the catch-all excuse for grad students and staff not getting paid, for payments coming from the wrong account, underpayment, etc. This transition has been going on for nearly a year now, and there is no end in sight. There is some problem with either documentation/training, there are too many institution having trouble with this software.

  17. Re:Origin of term Ivy league? on Who Needs Harvard? · · Score: 1

    According to common sense, Wikipedia is not credible source of anything.

    because they seem like advertisements...

  23. Re:keep it under your hat on Digital Packrats · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's called quota. Some of us are users, and despite being a graduate student in the Computer Science department of a large university, I have only 250MB to work with. Lately I forward everything to gmail, but everything from 2 years ago is gone due to class projects...

  24. Re:Meowlingual - Language Translator on The Japanese/American Tech Deficit · · Score: 1
