  1. How life is at our office on Half of IT Workers Sleep on the Job · · Score: 1

    Well, I can pretty much say every IT person in our company has fallen asleep while at work. Granted, personally most of that was waiting for backups/restores to complete, waiting for the power company to show up to replace a blown transformer, babysitting generators (while waiting for the power company to show up), fun stuff like that, all in most cases when I would normally be sleeping. Let's face it, enough IT people have to sleep with their pagers in any case.

    As for kissing a co-worker, I'd have to say I have. Then again, I was married to her before she started working here.

  2. Re:OLD paradigm on Car With A Mind Of Its Own -- Part 2 · · Score: 1, Funny

    Oooh 1/2 person pods... Perfect for my 2 1/2 children!

  3. Where is the station? on After the X Prize · · Score: 1

    Well, if someone is putting up money to get to a station by the end of the decade, I wonder if they plan on putting a station up there by then? Considering the ISS will probably STILL not be completed, other than having a useful crew retrieval (not rescue) vehicle, what's the point?

  4. Re:Good Luck, But I Don't Think It Leads Anywhere on SpaceShipOne 100 km Attempt Slated for June 21 · · Score: 1

    Yet another issue you forgot. In most cases, when the private sector puts something in orbit, it isn't meant for surviving re-entry. Kind of puts a damper on the whole "living to tell about it" thing...

  5. Syndrome = Heat Miser? on Pixar's Next Movie: The Incredibles · · Score: 2, Funny

    Interesting how the super villian Syndrome bears a startling resemblance to Heat Miser from the old christmas claymation show "The Year Without Santa Claus".

    I'm Mister Green Christmas
    I'm Mister Sun
    I'm Mister Heat Blister
    I'm Mister Hundred and One
    They call me Heat Miser,
    What ever I touch
    Starts to melt in my clutch
    I'm too much!

  6. Search for intelligent life on Weta Prepares to Render LOTR: ROTK · · Score: 1

    Maybe they'll form their own SETI Group after finishing up on RotK. They'd fly past everyone else within 24 hours!

  7. Re:True story... on DMCA bad for Apple Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I personally have a G4 which came with the standard dvd-rom drive, and I upgraded the drive with the pioneer DVR-A04 (the drive iDVD looks for) and it works just fine. So you don't *HAVE* to upgrade to a new mac, you just have to know what to buy.

  8. Will the REAL Bill Wyman please stand up? on Using Your Own Name May Be Infringement, Part 2 · · Score: 1

    Next thing we'll see is people winning 20+ billion dollar lawsuits for domain name infringement. 19.999+ billion would go to the lawyers...
