  1. Re:Stupid answer to a stupid question on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 1

    Q: "How would you move mount Fuji"?

    A: "First, define `move`."

  2. Re:More of a continuum. on Is Programming Art? · · Score: 1

    >>With 100% pure functionality (and pure ugly) at one end ... ...

  3. Re:Ya think? on Is Science Fiction the Opiate of the Geek Masses? · · Score: 1

    Damn! I thought Budwiser was the real opiate (religion) of the geek masses.

  4. Re:Very bad in a printing accident. on World's Fastest Inkjet Printer? · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with turning the thing off or unplugging it? That'll cancel the job in 3min. @ 75ppm = 125 pages is all.

  5. Re:Fighters make sound in a vacuum. on The Science of Star Wars · · Score: 1

    Actually, it can be explained as virtual sound. There has to be O2 in the fighter cockpits. Sound can travel there. Radar detectects the motion of the enemy ships and surround sound gives you their location. No visual reference necessary. Besides StarWars is all about the sound anyhow.

  6. Re:Pulic Right to how it works on Closed Source -> Charges Dismissed? · · Score: 1

    Usually here in Virginia if you refuse you are foud guilty, but this guy didn't refuse to take the test. He just refused to sign the consent form. I guess different judges would have ruled different on that one. I don't know.

  7. Re:Thoughts on virtual thoughts on Effort to Create Virtual Brain Begins · · Score: 1

    yea, 42 is the number. What was the question again?

  8. Re:Pulic Right to how it works on Closed Source -> Charges Dismissed? · · Score: 1

    --If you have the suspect blow in the breathalizer, and then believe they were drunk, you should then be required to get further proof if you want to inflict any permanent punishment (blood sample).--

    They take you to the hospital for that. Where I live they also make you sign a statement that the hospital is not responsible for any damage to you while accuring this sample. Someone here refused to sign that statement and got out of the whole thing.

    Wouldn't this also increase the cancer rate over your lifetime if you travel alot too?

  11. Re:Battery power only... on A Coffeeshop's Weekends Without Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Yes, but there is nothing from preventing the shop owners from throwing the breakers to said outlets.

  12. Re:Exception that proves the rule: on Smoke and Mirrors from Sony and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    circa 1979 and still fun to play. it blew everything out of the water for it's time including coin op games. 8k is all the memory it required.

  13. Re:what is he talking about? on Mad as Hell, Switching to Mac · · Score: 1

    We'll I would have to ask that myself. I think if all the clients are xp pro, you can push policy that the users can't install software period.

  14. Re:Buffing compound on Iomega Patents 850GB DVD Nano-Technology · · Score: 1

    --He took the CD, went out to the body shop, put some buffing compound on it, buffed it up, rinsed, and it was as good as new.--

    Actually I have waxed scratches out of a CD and could then read it. Rinsing would be bad though.

  15. Your still a kid... on 512MB GeForce 6800 Ultra Reviewed · · Score: 1

    --You had to walk 2 miles uphill to the rock quarry and cut another one. Kids these days.-- ...Cause back in my day, we had to do the same thing, but there was 6 feet of snow, and we also had to walk 2 miles up hill on the way back without shoes because we were too poor to buy shoes, but we did wrap our feet in barbed wire for tracton in the snow.

    Also on another note, we were hungry becuase we didn't have peanut butter -n- jelly sandwiches. We had to eat silly putty -n- jelly instead.

  16. Re:They'll get their grants revoked on A Step Toward the Diamond Age · · Score: 1

    Plus, it's Intel and co who are the good guys here. In one corner, you have faster electronics, better tools, stronger starship armour :p and so on. In the other, you have a rich-but-not-too-bright guy having his ego tickled by giving an overpriced rock to a woman. Guess which option I would cheer for.

    Is this a trick question?

  17. Re:Toshiba has similar in production this month... on Motorola Debuts Nano-Emissive Flat Screen · · Score: 1

    --Competing technologies like steam seemed to disappear from the streets, and auto makers unable or unwilling to move into mass production would soon fade out of the picture altogether.--

    It depends on who all the players are and how they go after the market.

  19. Re:Of course there will be lots of comments! on The Pseudoscience of Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    The argument would have to do with the creator being outside of time which governs the physical world. (i.e. a start and an end) You have to add infinity to the characteristics of a creator. No begining, no end and imposible to measure by running tests. Not trolling just something else to think about besides getting off work.

    American Graffiti? Didn't you like that?

  21. Re:it's foolish... on MSN Search Engine Favors IIS · · Score: 1

    --The bad guys clearly do not get punished.--

    Give it time.

    --MS has been allowed to do basically whatever they want in the US--

    Maybe in the US. If they want to do business in the rest of the world, they may not get to do just anything they want to.

  22. Re:Not necessarily a good thing.... on Human Hibernation on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    --The problems of world hunger and overcrowding are not problems inherent with having too many people.--

    I've got to agree with this one.

    The main problems have to do with human selfishness which leads to some wanting what others have. This eventually leads down the path to war. If we would stop competing and start cooperating, this would solve most of these problems.

  23. Re:Whoa..first post? on Survey Shows Admins Avoiding SP2 · · Score: 1

    Yes, I did the same thing with all of the workstations with DataCAD software, because it has a hardware lock. I think Alladin has posted a fix, but I still left the bit turned off.
