  2. Re:It's about intelligence.. on YouTube Revives Failed Sitcom Pilot · · Score: 1

    Yes, American Chopper and Trading Spaces are real thinkers.

    Can you build a motorcycle and sell it for $100,000? Are you smart enough to build a sucessful multi-million dollar business, market yourself and build a brand identity for your family? Are you smart enough to take a pile of unassembled raw metal and turn it into a motorcycle? Do you understand engines, transmissions, combustion, drive systems, how brakes work, metal fabrication? The cast of characters on American Choppers might seem like they are neanderthals, but what they do is hardwork, takes a lot of talent, creativity, and does require a lot of thinking.

  3. G4 Moves Further into Crap TV channel on G4 Moves Further From Technology Roots · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is there any reason to watch this channel anymore...?

  4. Next GTA game? on The Worth of the GTA Franchise · · Score: 1

  6. 10 billions dollars on Interest in Console Gaming on the Decline · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The video game industry produces more than $10 billion dollars a year. That's more than the Hollywood. I don't think interest is on the decline, and I really don't think they care if teenagers aren't interested - Who says their target market is teenagers anyway??

  7. Re:That is the lazy interviewer way. on What's the Point of IT Certifications? · · Score: 1
    If someone's a lot older, or from a long ways away, they probably won't fit in as well as a "local". This may sound strange, but some people prefer to work with people that they can actually get along with.

    I hope you never have to interview for a job when you are older. How does not being a "local" and being older mean you won't be able to get along with the person?

  8. Re:Get riled up.....? Nah. on WiFi At Logan Airport Leads To Turf War · · Score: 1

    The only requirement to get into Continental's President Club is to pay the $375 annual membership fee. Well worth it if you fly on a regular basis.

    Where did you get the idea that you need to fly first class or have a platinum frequent flier accout to use Continental's lounges? Or any other airlines for that matter?

  9. where's King's Quest? on IGN's Top 100 Games · · Score: 1

    a top 100 list of all time games and nothing from Sierra On-Line is on it?

    What the hell are they worried about theft for?? .. the damn movie will probably make over $100 million this weekend IN THE BOX OFFICE.....

  16. Re:Radio's Advatages Over Podcasting on How Podcasting and Satellite Changed Radio · · Score: 1

    It isn't even remotely close to what you would find on any FM station in your market, I don't care where you live. You need "check" it out a little more I think.

  17. Re:You misunderstand Google Weather on Google Weather Service And GMail Improvements · · Score: 2, Insightful

    not anymore scary than what everyone already knows about you already... talk to your bank, your credit card company, your insurance company, your doctor, your mortgage company, your landlord, your employer, your airline of choice, etc.....

  18. Re:Get another job first on When Should You Quit Your Job? · · Score: 1

    BRAD: "... my job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn't so closely resemble hell." Well, you obviously have no interest in saving yourself.

    LESTER: I've spent fourteen years being a whore for the advertising industry. The only way I could save myself now is to start firebombing.

    BRAD: Whatever. Management wants you gone by the end of the day.

    LESTER: Whoa. What kind of severance package is "management" prepared to give me? Considering the information I have about our editorial director buying pussy with company money. Which I'm sure would interest the I.R.S., since, technically, it does constitute fraud. And some of our advertisers and rival publications might like to know about it as well. Not to mention Craig's wife.

    BRAD: What do you want?

    LESTER: One year's salary, with continued benefits.

    BRAD: That's not going to happen.

    LESTER: What if I throw in a little sexual harassment charge?

    BRAD: Against who?

    LESTER: Against you.

    LESTER: Can you prove you didn't offer to save my job if I'd let you blow me?

    BRAD: Man. You are one twisted fuck.

    LESTER: Nope. Just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose. I hope you and I can still be friends, Brad. And even though you didn't save my job... you can still blow me, asshole.

  19. Game Cube on Resident Evil 4 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty excited about this new RE game... oh wait, I can't play it, I don't own a Game Cube. So how long do we have to wait to play it on the PlayStation?

  20. Re:Grade on Is The 'CSI Phenomenon' Good For Science? · · Score: 1

    >> I have not watched much of the show Then you can't really make that statement about the show. It doesn't present any of it's episodes as "wrapping them up in an hour" and that forensic science is like that...

  21. Re:Now, let's all have a big Slashdot group hug on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    So if team X scores 36 runs in the first game of a seven game series and then doesn't score a single run in the next six games they should win the series? That's insane.

  24. Re:Charts on Cooking for Engineers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "I agree that the average person won't make an excellent chef, and that it takes more than a recipe to make excellent food." No. Most recipes suck. They assume the person knows how to cook at the basic level (ie. saute, braising, broiling, baking, seasoning, etc.) Most people don't understand basic cooking skills. You don't learn these by following a recipe. You don't learn proper seasoning by following recipes. Cooking and cooking correctly is a skill, honed by hours of practice. There is no right or wrong, but when it comes to basic cooking techniques and seasoning, there is. Salt is good... most people don't understand that simple phrase.

  25. Re:Charts on Cooking for Engineers · · Score: 1

    I read your post... I have no idea what you're talking about. Can you post it again? "All this to say this engineering book about cooking is just a cook book about cooking and not real science." What the hell does that mean?
