    >>Get your wife to quit her job. >Or, quit your job. After the first few years, >breasts cease to play any meaningful role for >child rearing. Hmmm. Actually I meant get your spouce to quit her/her job then. Kids are great, but so is going to work and not listening to them whine all day. :-)

    Get your wife to quit her job. You don't need the money more than your kids need a mom. It will raise your experience from "this suxxor" to "hi I'm home :-) " Don't use the old style pampers. They raise the body temp of your kids testicles enough to reduce sperm count later on in life to a drastic degree. Lighten up, or they will hate you when they get big.

  3. Re:Not deliverable? How about, not readable! on Dictionary Spammer Fined $55,000 for Spam Attack · · Score: 1

    Spam suxxor, but since I stopped forwarding my "spam" emails to my maim email account, I have got none. I was getting about 20 per day, and all of them from usenet posts to wpg.forsale.computers (I'm from wpg). So a good short-term solution may be not to enter your main email address in web-forms or news posts. (flame suit on)

    If they stopped changing bumper and tail light shapes every year I bet cars would drive themselves by now. Damn marketing.

    Are you suggesting to compete with MS on features? Isn't that playing into their game?

    Raises are great, except then you sort to the top when the accountants in charge recommend layoffs.

    It sure is. Me my wife print about 1 page per month. So we bought a $50 (epson) printer about 2 years ago. We still have it, and as low end as it is, it is fine at color too. We would have bought a $300 printer, but didn't have to.

    Dear George: Every day that nukes don't fly is an extra day in some unlucky people's lives. What is the rush?

    The more data the US gov gets, the more they slip. Remember, the snipers were stopped 5 times after shootings at roadblocks. See, data is worth sh*t if you don't use it. This plan is really for the lawyers, and those making money. That way they can have proof that pirating, kiddie porn and the like happened, or catching terrorists after the building already collapsed.

    oh yeah, get this: here at my office in Canada, our PC's are controlled by a sys admin in the USA. He recently deployed a couple hundred XP boxes with 60Hz refresh and tweaked it so you can't even right-click properties. Now he is too busy to care...

    by the way, dsl and cable are $25/month canadian here in winnipeg, which is $17 US.

  15. Re:Uhm, maybe I'm being silly, but... on Relativity Finally Meets Quantum Theory? · · Score: 1

    Point one: If light travels at slightly different speeds depending on its frequency, then maybe that is why we think the universe is expanding and see a red-shift. Point two: This whole observer issue and quantum info travelling faster than light when there is an observation clearly means the theories are wrong. Time to move on.
