  1. Re:Staggered shifts FTW! on Guide For Small Team Programming? · · Score: 2, Funny

    this hits fairly close to home here...

  2. each? on Sony BMG Settles Over CD DRM · · Score: 1

    so, 1.5 million to each customer, right? otherwise, that's bullshit.

  3. floating? on A $200-Million Floating Nuclear Plant? · · Score: 1

    and here i was thinking floating in the sky, monolith type structure

  4. holy crap bad site design on Beautiful Wooden PC Cases · · Score: 1

    well, on the gallery anyways. i would love a wooden computer case. it would really fit the decor in my home. howevers... the gallery design was soooo bad, i wouldn't even ask what their prices were and just do it myself. i mean shit, have they not EVER been to a freakin thumb gallery or XxX site? i wanna show a lot of pictures to potential buyers. MAKE THAT PART NOT SHIT!

  5. Re:new? on Teenage Blogger Finds Gmail Hole · · Score: 1

    Ok.. I guess. This is probably what i was thinking of, but i knew it was fudging with any embedded scripts. http://www.gmailforums.com/lofiversion/index.php/t 9312.html notice the date.

  6. Re:Gmail security can be over agressive too on Teenage Blogger Finds Gmail Hole · · Score: 1

    I have two methods to deal with this, as i have to deal with the same issue on a daily basis: 1. Throw updates onto our company web page under a 'userfiles' folder, and simply send a link in the email to download the files. 2. (Assuming Winblows) Setup a registry entry that associates a specific file extension (like *.update) with the same filetype as .zip, and just rename your zip to .update. Then on their side, windows will open it by itself.

  7. new? on Teenage Blogger Finds Gmail Hole · · Score: 1

    I didn't realize this was new. I vaguely remember hearing about this a year or so ago. Actually, it was with any embedded javascript, images, etc.. i think.

  8. Re:Paper and pencil on Ultimate Software Developer Setup? · · Score: 1

    i do the same thing. maybe. often, i'll write a proto of different individual pieces of the larger project. make sure i have a solid idea of where i want those to end up, then write the final solution with the interaction in mind.

  9. Re:And what did the UPS guy say? on 3.9 Million Citigroup Customers' Data Lost · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    this wouldn't have happened with FedEx!! not that i really promote fedex, i'm just anti-union.

  10. Re:Hmm... on Space Elevator Group to Open Nanotube Factory · · Score: 1

    where does it say that the liftivator is actually going to be in Bremerton? it just sounds like the main office is there. of course, i may not have RATFAs.

  11. Re:Mac isn't more secure, BUT: on PC Mag - Mac OS X Insecure · · Score: 2, Interesting

    i don't think that is entirely true. i know lots of kids who used to write virii, and they wrote them for microsoft machines because that was the machine that they had. these would also be the same people that would defend the IBM/Micro$oft machine to the death in a windows/mac debate, but that was the platform they had. mostly, i guess, is that they didn't want to even bother with mac users.

  14. also-- on Updating Quickbooks Forces Online Membership? · · Score: 1

    this goes right along with a conversation i had with someone just yesterday morning. EVERYTHING is moving to be web based. in the future, people won't buy compters, they will buy terminals that connect to the internet. If you want to use M$ Word, you will have to pay a monthly subscription. same with everything that we use. all data will be stored online, and pirating software will be kind of a moot point, since nobody will have their own hard drive anymore.

    it is a step to take the user out of the equation for fuckups. it makes it easier for the developer and for the businesses to keep all their ducks in line, but it makes things hell on the user when, for example, they are forced to upgrade to a new version that takes out or changes some of the features that they were most comfortable with, or liked the most.

    kind of an ominous, extreme future, but that is what it looks like now. i could write a book, and call it "2029". it will take place in a war torn era, about a man who lives in Victory Estates, and is part of the working middle class.

    Big Brother is watching!

  15. you know... on Updating Quickbooks Forces Online Membership? · · Score: 1

    you know, I am pretty sure that the canadian version of quickbooks does not do this. Of course, maybe it is still to come.
