  1. It's alread cool... on Microsoft Wants to Project "Cool" Image · · Score: 1

    My secretary thinks MS Office is really cool.

  2. If you liked this video on Star Wars Kid & Episode III? · · Score: 1

    there is an equally stupid --- um, I mean great show. It is called America's Funniest Home Videos. Watch this show for a few minutes and you will see how tired and boring --- um, I mean great this video is.

  3. Forgot about attaching the fan on Step-by-Step Computer Destruction · · Score: 1

    To ensure optimal heat transfer, bend the clips on your heat sink/fan so that it is as tight as possible. This will ensure crushing the raised core of Duron/Athlon CPUs.

  4. Easy on Learning to Say No in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Just give everybody admin privileges and your job will be much easier.

  5. Re:What's wrong with Germanic roots? on Cindy Smart Knows Better Than To Say Naughty Words · · Score: 1

    Are you referring to "My Prerogative" by Bobby Brown?

  6. Re:Bandwidth on Microsoft wants Automatic Update for Windows · · Score: 1

    I know your modem seems slow, but don't exagerate.
    I am sure you get several millibits per second.

  7. Re:What does this mean for linux? on PS2 Exploit Allows Running of Unsigned Code · · Score: 1

    Yeah, tuxracer is so much better than SSX.

  8. It's mathematics on Flavor vs. Flavour · · Score: 1
    NOT MATHS.

    (Thanks for letting me get that off my chest, it has been bothering me for a long time.)

  9. I'll sell my excellent karma on Real Money Inside in MMORPGs? · · Score: 3, Funny

    for $2. Any takers?

  10. Re:American vs Japanese cell service on How's Your Cell Service? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I remember dirty, used panties being sold in vending machines, professional businessmen looking at hardcore porn on the subway, and Japanese teens urinating in the streets. I agree that Japan is a very nice place with a very different culture, but it is not nirvana.

  11. Re:Verizon Wireless on How's Your Cell Service? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Try I-95 near the North Carolina-Virginia border. Very bad to no coverage. I guess it could also be my cheap (V-120) phone.

    It seems that phone quality can skew the results of customer surveys, like those in the article. My phone is apparently prone to dropping calls, by no fault of Verizon. Perhaps the companies that push better phones have better perceived service quality.

  12. Erwin Kreyszig "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" on Science and Math For Adults? · · Score: 1

    I have found this book to be very helpful. It covers a very broad array of topics: linear algebra, trigonometry, calculus, complex analysis, differential equations, statistics .... There are numerous engineering related examples and problems so that you can get an idea of the applicable domain of each subject. I think there would be something in this book for readers from high school level through graduate school.

  13. Why is 75 a magic number? on 2191.78 Years for the RIAA to Sue Everyone · · Score: 1

    Is there some law against hiring enough lawyers to file more than 75 lawsuits per day?

  14. Freakazoids, Robots on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    please report to the dance floor (by 2050)

  15. How many jobs will be created on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    designing, maintaining and programming the robots? Surely autonomous humanoid robots will have human supervision

  16. Which ball would you suggest? on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Left or right? Can I switch balls when one gets tired?

  17. Write doesn't know how to search on Digging Holes in Google · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Search for "flowers," and more than 90 percent of the top results are online florists. If you're doing research on tulips, or want to learn gardening tips, or basically want to know anything about flowers that doesn't involve purchasing them online, you have to wade through a sea of florists to find what you're looking for.

    Maybe try searching with "flower gardening" next time.

  18. What right to privacy do you think you have on Southeast To Start Video Monitoring Flights · · Score: 4, Insightful

    regarding what you do in public? The other people on the plane may be looking at you. Does that worry you also?

  19. Re:Names are reflective of the namers on Public Confused by Tech Lingo · · Score: 1

    You missed this definition on that same page: 14. Printing. The density of characters in a printed line, usually expressed as characters per inch.

  20. Re:Congrats on MTV Movie Awards - Gollum's Acceptance Clip · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    This kid I work with said he likes "Industrial" music, "like Tool and Linkin Park." I just couldn't stop laughing. He hadn't heard of Throbbing Gristle or Coil or Einsturzende Neubauten.

  21. Re:MTV on MTV Movie Awards - Gollum's Acceptance Clip · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm even older than you:
    I remember when they didn't even show commercials.

    Back then HBO showed movies too. Cable TV used to be good.

  22. Re:Those "mail dumping" incidents a few years back on Internet Based Attacks in a Physical World · · Score: 1

    IIRC it was all bulk-rate junk mail that had been dumped. Of course, this is still despicable because the advertisers were not receiving the service which they paid for.

  23. Domain specific knowledge... on Job Chances for Older Coders? · · Score: 1

    is worth something, simply knowing a programming language is not. Learn database/bioinformatics, medical imaging, or something financial if you want to stay employable past the next round of buzzwords.

  24. Re:Great, just what I needed on Sony's Memory Stick TV Tuner at CeBit · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not what it sounds like, or what I hoped it would be. Rather than underwater porn, 'Adult Swim' is a Cartoon Network show.

  25. Overplayed... on Indiana Jones coming to DVD in November · · Score: 2, Funny

    These movies have been played to death on TNT and other cable channels. Maybe it's just me, but seeing a good movie with banner ads at the bottom and commercials every 7 minutes destroys the mystique.
