  1. Futurama quote on Man Has 75% of Skull Replaced By 3D-Printed Materials · · Score: 1

    "My only regret is that I have... Boneitis."

  2. Larry Niven - Wireheads on DARPA Investing In Electric Brain Stimulation To Train Snipers Quickly · · Score: 0

    Larry Niven has prior art on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirehead_(science_fiction)

  3. Re:air exchange? on New Type Of Artificial Lung Created · · Score: 1

    Oh, I don't know, Vader lasted pretty long with an external feed...

  4. Re:Comeback? They never went away on Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback of Sorts · · Score: 1

    All you fools who abandoned the Model M will pay when the Cylons hack your fancy new keyboards. (and don't get me started about Ethernet...)

  5. Re:Show Me The Titles on Netflix Comes To Tivo, AppleTV, Linux · · Score: 1

    Netflix just added the first seasons of the original Twilight Zone and Star Trek to the instant view. None of that wimpy "Run a level one diagnostic and meet me in the conference room" stuff from James T. Kirk (^_^)

  6. Re:Doh! on Rockets To Race Over Wisconsin Skies · · Score: 1

    I've heard the same thing from UK coworkers. Just be thankful you never had any of the government cheese they gave out years ago. Mmmm, tasty!

  7. Re:Bonfire on What To Do With Old Laptops? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hehe, having run over stuff with a D9, I can attest to how much fun this is. (FYI everybody, D6 and D9 are models of Caterpillar crawlers)

  8. Re:Newbie translation please? on Student and Professor Build Budget Supercomputer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sounds like somebody is bitter about getting an English degree instead of an Engineering degree...

  9. Re:Whaaat? on A "Bill of Lights" to Restrict LEDs on Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    I use my XPS in meetings to signal how annoyed I am. It's the 21st century equivalent of a mood ring. I'm suprised that the DHS hasn't made a plugin yet that will display the threat advisory level via my XPS. "Uhh, the lights on your PC just turned red..."

  10. Re:Other side of the coin on Lowering the Odds of Being Outsourced · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't happen to be my twin from a parallel universe, would you? Have you been asked to help move your boss's furniture lately?

  11. Re:Awesome... on New 1 Kilowatt PSU - Too Much Power? · · Score: 1

    The old Boomer or the new Boomer?

  12. Workforce BBQ on Paul Graham on PR · · Score: 1

    So far I haven't seen anybody mention my objection to suits. Here in California's central valley, the temperature is going to be climbing towards 110F pretty soon. Nothing worse than employees stewing in their own sweat.

  13. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong on Next Knoppix Release to Feature GPL'd FreeNX · · Score: 1

    The only thing wrong with your scenario is when the guy you hired to do all of your mission critical programming moves on.

  14. No Americans Need Apply on Corporate Work in the US vs. Canada? · · Score: 1

    Based on past experience, you are going to have a hard time. In order to get a work permit in Canada you are going to have to show that you posess skills that are not available in Canada. And then, your work permint is only good for several years. You will be expected to train Canadian workers in your skills and then go back home. Good luck, and don't expect to take your guns with you.

  15. Axis Pan/Tilt/Zoom on LAN Camera Review · · Score: 1

    At our company we've been using the Axis Pan/Tilt/Zoom model to monitor remote sites over our WAN. We set one up initially to monitor construction at a site. It paid for itself in PR alone when our division's president was able to bring up the cam in a browser for a corporate board meeting.

    An ounce of image is worth a pound of performance.
